Our family has been a loyal customer of Konbu for 15 years. If you want the best sushi in the area Konbu is the restaurant by far. We have had sushi in Japan, Hawaii, NYC and this restaurant is just as good, if not, better. This is a true testimony!!! The owners are great people and the servers are wonderful. We love going to Konbu and you will as well.
I made today a take out order. In the order was а stake (medium well )and lobster.I didn’t understand what meat was used, but it was dry, thin , no taste . It didn’t taste or look like beef, horribly. For $32 dollars I couldn’t eat my meal.

Have been coming here for the better part of 20 years. Great people and food. No other sushi place compares in this area in my humble opinion.

Run down, no service, short staffed mistake of a place. Don’t go. One chef and one waitress. Will take an hour to get the food which is sub par. Not nice people. Stay

The food was amazing!! We sat down and were waiting for about five minutes, and then another family came in that must go there a lot because they received their hot tea before anyone even came over to our table. So that was disappointing for us!! Otherwise, they made up with the food and presentation.

Overpriced mediocre sushi place. Be very careful with your check. They calculated 18% tip on top of the drinks and tax. When asked to change started to argue that all do it and all patrons pay. Boarder line RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS with plenty sushi joints around just try other places.

First time experience!! I went in first to take a look at the restaurant and the restaurant is stunning.The staff was busy and was pushy for tipping even though it was for take out! I ordered 3 items plus side sauce.Firstly, I’m an avid spicy mayo lover and this spicy mayo as seen in the picture is really strange and tasted different than regular spicy mayo’s, personally would not order it again.The Kani salad was different than how I usually eat it- I liked the texture of fresh cucumber slices but Kani texture I did not like.I ordered the Atlantic roll (all the rolls pretty expensive $9-$25). As seen in the picture, it doesn’t look very appetizing to me. All the ingredients are fresh but I don’t think the flavors blended well despite the staff saying it’s one of their most popular roll.Lastly, tuna tataki, tuna is very fresh but nothing special with flavor.Overall, I’m glad I tried this place. I will try to dine in and maybe I’ll have a better experience. It is a nice looking place but I really didn’t like that they asked for tip right away but I understand that a small business has ends to meet. Small sushi menu variation in my opinion . Maybe I’m used to Americanized sushi and Japanese foods because it seemed very authentic. Hope this helps.

I dislike leaving negative reviewsb but Konbu is not particularly good.We went to Konbu on a Thursday evening because our go-to sushi place was full and the wait was too long. Konbu was able to accommodate us, so we gave it a try.We ordered appetizers - clam soup, fried oysters, garlic pan seared mussels, spring rolls and a sushi platter. The mussels, oysters and spring rolls were enjoyed. The sushi platter was a mistake! With the exception of the tuna, the fresh did not seem fresh. Also, the miso soup had zero flavor and the salad dressing was very sweet.Our entrees included a sashimi dinner, rolls (Titanic, shrimp tempura, garden vegetable and captain crunch), some kind of chicken Ramen soup, the nsme of which i cannot recall and tasty chicken / noodle dish. After the distatstrous sushi appetizer, the member of our party who will not be named should have known better than to order the sashimi dinner but he risked it... and did not enjoy. The fish were not cut properly and the slices were quite large...To top it all off, the person who took care of our table was not at all pleasant. She really seemed grumpy the entire time. We still left a good tip but, I have to say, she did not deserve it. The cost was okay (for a party of 5, it was around $240 before tip). We will not return.
Kevin is a master and is all about QUALITY. That said, Jeanie runs the front and keeps you smiling.I say, this is a dedicated team that brings you an awesome experience.Just do it and you’re going to be back.Remember this is a BYOB which means they can and do give you the best.My friend Al-T says, “No question”.

Yeah, as far as sushi restaurants go this is about as bad as it gets. The service is non-existent. We waited for a table for 15 minutes when several were available. The server was unfriendly and unattentive. Worst of all, the food was sloppily presented and barely portioned. Clearly, this place doesn't give an iota about its customers. Go to any other sushi place in Marlboro, any, and you'll certainly have a better experience.

As always, we loved the food and raved the service.
