What Ziquan Z doesn't like about Kobo:
The food at this restaurant is decent, but not exceptional. The portion sizes were small for me, despite the fact that I do not usually eat much. The sushi rice had a different taste than what I am used to, being a bit too sour. Additionally, the sauces on the sushi all tasted the same. I would prefer to go to Sushi Ogawa instead.

Would absolutely recommend eating here. Great mood, fresh dishes, fantastic customer service. Highly recommended.

Kobo stands out as a premier destination for those seeking an exceptional Japanese dining experience. The restaurant artfully combines traditional flavors with innovative twists, resulting in beautifully presented dishes that resonate with authenticity. Guests rave about the attentive service and interactive chef experiences, which enhance the overall ambiance. While some find the pricing on the higher side, many agree that the quality justifies the cost. From the delicate sushi rice to the expertly crafted Omasake menu, every bite is a celebration of culinary excellence. Whether for a special occasion or a casual meal, Kobo promises to impress.

The sashimi had a unique flavor while the sushi was well-prepared. Some found it a bit tangy, but it was delicious and fresh. The only downside was the price.
