After researching sushi restaurants to go to for my birthday, I decided on Kubo's. The atmosphere is really nice, and our waiter was one of the best i've ever had. He was very attentive throughout the whole night. Sadly to say, the food was not so good. I had salmon sushi and white tuna, and the salmon was fresh as expected, but the tuna was gross. It reaked and tasted extremely fishy and somewhat bitter. Call me naiive for associating fishy-ness for unfresh, but I took a bite, and could not eat anymore. The 3 specialty rolls we got were not great too. We got the Kubo's roll, which was ok. The salmon skin roll was fishy as well. And the spider roll was a little less than mediocre. My boyfriend go the garlic beef. Although it was probably the most tender meat i've had... there was no flavor what so ever. It smelled like garlic, but that was probably because they sliced up 3 gloves of garlic and put it on top of the meat at the end. Too overpriced for simple, tender meat. It tasted much better than the tuna though. I found myself eating off of my boyfriend's plate most of the night. Three things I can rave about though... their Iced tea (YUM), the soft-shell crab tempura, and our server (Laurence i think). I should have splurged on the other popular restaraunt down the street Az**a, being my birthday and all.
Pros: Ambiance, service, Iced tea
Cons: Sushi
