This was a quiet, pleasant restaurant with very, very good food and service. Although we had a play to get to, we never felt rushed and, indeed, were sorry to leave (although the play was great!). Portions were not overwhelming. The absolutely stand-out was the five spice creme brulee. It comes as part of a trio. The other two (green... More

We went to Kobe on a whim when we visited Ashland and we are happy we did. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and we never felt rushed. We tried the "Surf and Turf" roll with tempura lobster and steak carpaccio ( a real winner) and our waitress suggested the Yellow tail carpaccio (another real winner) which was beautifully presented...

We went to Kobe to have a family dinner. The waitress was friendly and nice. We ordered several different kind of foods. I must say that Kobe's fish is very fresh. I love their Yellow tail tuna and tuna. Sushi is also good. There are many varaeties of sushi, not exactly a Japanese kind but I must say it's very... More

I've lived in NYC and L.A....I know sushi and Kobe has some of the best. Everything we're eaten here (10+ visits) has been impeccably fresh and delicious. Staff is great, atmosphere is great - try to sit outside if weather permits. AWESOME SUSHI! More

This restaurant serves surprisingly good sushi, considering that Ashland is not near a major airport. Both sushi and cooked fish are fresh and high quality. Service is knowledgable and friendly. Having a severe gluten allergy, I particularly appreciate their efforts to help me enjoy a safe meal - including stocking a gluten (wheat) free tamari sauce. We have eaten there... More

First off, to the reviewer who marked it "terrible," please try it again. It must have been a really bad night. I found the food delicious--my friend and I split a sushi, sashimi, and ceviche combo plate and then I had an order of green muscles in aioli sauce. My friend had an order of miso soup. Everything was very... More

Had a casual business meeting St Kobe with four other people. We had seven different types of sushi, three different salads, two appetizers and the bulgogi ribs plus drinks. It was all excellent and a damn good value for just under $225 including Ashland's meals tax and tip. The staff was very attentive and provide excellent recommendations. More

Over-priced for the poorly-lit ''atmosphere'', incredibly cramped seating, soggy & cold tempura, screaming children and lukewarm service. But the deal-breaker for me was the hours of painful stomach cramps and violent diarrhea that followed within 25 minutes after my meal at Kobe -- I barely made it home to a bathroom :( Won't go back - and I feel I...
