Kubo Sushi and Sake Lounge Reviews
Will definitely be going back. Food was amazing staff was fantastic. Menu was very well laid out. 5-5 stars
Poor service, cranky manager type made us feel unwelcome.
We’ve been going to Kubo since they opened. Always a great experience and great sushi until last night. Why was last night different? Umm, no sushi. Apparently Chef Chris ran out of fish.?. Nothing. Zero. Not even a slab of monk fish liver or a measly slice of hamachi. Iiee. We were not late. 7:30 reservation, Saturday night, still no fish. It was weird. We felt slighted. Every table around us got their rolls and we got ramen. Again, weird. Obviously they don’t value our business...read full review
