Kobe Japan Restaurant Sushi Rolls

CATCH THE “BUZZ”

The Rainbow roll was exceptionally fresh and delicious.

- Jonathan H, Google Review

I had the steak and scallops w a shrimp appetizer, fried rice and veggies. Totally busted my diet – but everything was cooked perfectly, with more food on the plate than even a hungry man should be able to finish.

As someone who has Celiac, I can not explain how amazing this restaurant is! I told the waiter I was gluten free and he was able to fully accommodate all of my dietary restrictions, which is not easy for a place that uses soy sauce regularly! Hands down one of the best experiences I have had at a hibachi restaurant.

Food was excellent, filet, shrimp, scallops, bacon fried rice all incredible. Our chef was a pro, fun, entertaining and added to a superb evening. Server was attentive, friendly, wine and cocktails were all very good.

- clayhammer03, TripAdvisor Review

Absolutely the best sushi in Pleasant Hill! Got an order for the family for pickup and it was ready in about 35 minutes, everything was delicious and everyone was nice when I had walked in to get my order. Pricing was fantastic for the quality of sushi we got. Looked like a cool place to sit at for a sports game as well! Has a bar and tons of seating. Highly recommending for everyone!
