It's a family…read moretradition to get Hibachi during special occasions, and our usual spot in the area didn't have any reservations available... so we made a reservation at Kobe. The atmosphere here is very casual. It's definitely not a fancy Hibachi Steakhouse... more of a casual Asian restaurant. Service was hit or miss. Our chef was a funny guy but the waitresses were very busy in gossip and it was hard to flag them down. Everyone was pretty polite, though. The food was good but not great. The soup was bland, but the salad was typical delicious Hibachi salad. The entrees were good but the proteins were a bit overdone and the noodles were slick with grease. Everything could have used more seasoning as well. The ice cream they gave us was a tiny portion and freezer-burnt as well. Considering I don't live in the area, I don't think I'd be back. Next time when I'm visiting family, I will try our typical spot for reservations. Not a terrible place but not worth the price.

The green beans I believe came from next-door in fact, and there is a picture of it. As soon as you walk in, it's really cute and cozy and people are immediately greeting you and are quick to also sit you down, which is great. There are quite a few people already eating dinner as well as sitting at the bar area too. There were also lots of pick up takeout orders. This restaurant located in a strip mall, so there was lots of shared parking. Great to see a lot of of the Japanese chefs behind the sushi counter. We did not get dessert here as the portions were very fair and quite filling. A few of the main entrées come with vegetables, and one of our friends was very familiar that you could substitute the vegetables with some type of tempura vegetables, and I think this was a great decision because what ended up coming to the table was a mishmash of vegetable tempura, which was delicious. My friends also rave about the cocktails here. So some of us had cocktails and some of us had tea. The green tea here is a little light, but it's still very hot and tasty. We did not have any desserts. But would definitely come back here again.

Sushi U! I like you! Sushi is a nice little spot with an all you can eat menu. Major bonuses: vegan…read moreoptions are present, and the waitstaff are helpful in generally checking on what is and is not vegan. You know, the kind of thing that might be important to people who want to eat a sushi restaurant when you don't really want to be eating fish or milk. It helps that it's just south of the Crystal Lake downtown, in an area where many restaurants and businesses are. There were a few things (Fried onion dip) where it looked questionably non-vegan and the waitstaff were helpful in pointing out that the onions were fine, but the dip wasn't. Which is fine with me! Really, you don't have to veganize everything. I don't expect magic accommodations. Just don't snow me with claiming things aren't vegan, or at least be able to tell me if things are. I have reasonably low expectations. I want to eat, I want to not get sick from it, and preferably I'd like to enjoy it. I am easy to please. Sushi was reasonably well prepared, and also came out quickly. It was nice to be able to order a roll or two at a time and then have them come to you! However, was the AYCE worth the cost? The jews worth the susheeze (I don't know where I'm going with this made up phrase)? I gotta say no, dawg. I'm pretty sure that as a vegetarian the cost of everything I got was actually way more expensive than the amount I ate. I guess I'm not the volume eater anymore. C'est la vie. I'd still come back, just with their AYCE price so high maybe just getting rolls is the way to go - and I don't see anything wrong with that.

Wouldn't claim it was the best ever but certainly good enough for repeat visits and very reasonably priced. Today we ordered a variety of nigiri and 3 maki rolls for takeout that were very disappointing. The rice beneath all the fish was cold and hard, either not made today or if so, undercooked. I picked up the order less than 5 minutes after they finished making it and it was eaten maybe 10 minutes after that, so it wasn't an issue of it going bad in transit or sitting around before eating. Also, the salmon skin roll, which we'd enjoyed on a previous visit, had something off about it, a very strong off-flavor, enough so that we didn't dare finish it. As mentioned, a disappointing meal from somewhere we expected better from.
