"Around noon today I visited Kobe for the first time. I decided to splurge and try several different appetizers. The food overall was good. I ordered a hot sake (good but not great); nori soup (strange broth with mushrooms didn't really like it); white tuna tataki (thin sliced tuna in vinegar served with seaweed carrots) tasty; softshell crab (large serving tasty); and sashimi appetizer (about 10 thin sliced standard pieces which seemed to be fresh). This restaurant is a small hole in the wall which looks as though it has been there for a long time. There are about 10 tables and 4 seats at the sushi bar which didn't look too comfortable. There is basically no atmosphere, but a pleasant place for a quick lunch. There was only the sushi chef and a waitress working, which was adequate for the size of the place. The waitress was friendly and very efficient. The service was very fast in fact too fast. Everything arrived at the same time. I would have liked a little more spacing. When a dish is supposed to be hot, at this restaurant it is boiling hot. Can't complain about cold food here. I would consider returning to try some of their rolls. The list sounds interesting. I don't, however, get to the UES too often, and there are other sushi restaurants in the area I want to try; but I don't regret checking it out. I was pretty stuffed by the time I ate all that food because the servings were definitely generous and the prices for NYC were reasonable."
