Kobe Sushi

Way over cooked my shrimp and the chicken in the bento boxes we ordered. I liked the flavors but tough shrimp? Ugh. Their rolls are usually good and reasonably priced. Lots of variety so stick to the rolls

I accidentally went into this restaurant which is located next to cajun persuasion, a cajun/​Vietnamese restaurant I had heard good things about. Hoping for good phở, I found a sushi menu with hibachi offerings. The hibachi steak entrée was a plate heaped with a mountain of greasy and bland fried rice (eggs and oil comprising the two discernible ingredients other than rice) and a cowering dribble of meat and vegetables. I also ordered the «traditional Japanese shrimp dumplings». I don’t know what store brand, frozen dumplings are considered traditional but these were apparently them. The vinegar served as dipping sauce was a nice touch to put the exclamation point on the overall message of the restaurant, which is «we could care less». I laughed when they offered a to go box. They brought one anyway. Next time, I’ll go twenty feet to the left of their front door and try cajun persuasion

Yesterday I had the Combo 3 sushi off of the lunch menu, and also a Kobe box… The Combo 3 contained 1 roll of crawfish and 1 roll of snow crab. It was decent enough for the price but I found it to taste like run of the mill sushi that you’d find at a Chinese buffet. It definitely didnt taste as good as Fusion, Fuji or Cherry Blossom in Metairie. I guess for being in LaPlace its acceptable.
The Kobe box was a little better but not really anything to brag about. For the $ 12.00 I expected the rice to be a little warm and soft. This really wasnt the case. I found the rice to be cold and very rigid on the palate. Im not saying that it was terribly bad. I just dont think it was awesomely good. I will probably be back while in LaPlace because they have no other options for Japanese cuisine…
One last note at the time I went there was only 1 table with any people dining. Im not sure if the lack of any crowd is the norm there. I will probably be back while in LaPlace but my expectations have been lowered…

Stopped in here on our way to Baton Rouge. Restaurant is very clean in appearance; has what looks like a really good hibachi section. We just stopped for sushi.
Menu choices are good. And prices are comparable to other sushi bars we’ve been to. I had the «Scorpion Roll.» the shrimp was a little tough, but overall the roll was good. The «Volcano Roll» my wife ordered did not look like what was described on the menu. We asked the waiter and was assured that that is what it was. She was disappointed with it, but I thought it tasted okay.
Service is a bit on the slow side. We had to wait quite a while for our ticket and our drink glasses were empty a bit too long (which isn’t good when you have spicy sushi).
Kobe isn’t the best place we’ve been to, but it ain’t bad either. We’ll come back sometime and give it another try.

food is excellent and the sushi bar staff is always accomodating and friendly, in a town like LaPlace its hard to say they have ever had a place like this. get a large sake, this thing is the size of a 2 dozen flower vase. good times.
