"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."

"Some staff in this place are literal garbage. Why? A close friend of mine went to the plaza where this restaurant resides when she saw a sickly, obviously hungry homeless young man. She went into the Convenience store in the plaza and bought him a chip and soda (she got him the big bottle because she wanted) like he wanted, then she went back to the store to get what she was there for. When she came out just seconds later , she saw that the young man had finished the chips and soda...Her having the kind heart she has, she felt the need to get him actual food, so she went into this place to order some food when the man at the front desk told her something along the lines of if it 's for that homeless I am not taking your order . Her not having the best English, tried to tell him that the young man was sick and hungry and either way she was paying for the food so it made no difference who it was for. This is when the man who we assume is the Manager or Owner ...began to very angrily yell at her to get out and got all up on her face while snapping at her like if she was a dog to leave the restaurant...If you by any chance read this, please don 't support this restaurant who treat others as if they are least then humans. On a personal note: I 've gone to this place, and it was my and my families ' go to Thai restaurant for years because it was good, but haven 't gone there in almost a year because the quality of the food has become very bad, food is bland, overpriced, and watery, but despite the foods being watery...they still manage to be very dry when you eat it...if you like paying 20+ dollars for dry and bland Pad Thai and basically anything on the menu now...then by all means go ahead...if you don 't believe me about the quality because the reviews seem good...like I said,it used to be good so chances are that the reviews are from years ago"
