Editorial Review for Kubo's Sushi Bar & Grill – by Andrea Loera
The Scene
Up on the second floor, Kubo's manages to remove itself from the noise and bustle of the shops and dining spots in the Rice Village Arcade. Decidedly untrendy, the open and uncluttered dining room focuses on creating a welcoming environment with a focus on the food. Simple tables and a large curved sushi bar are interspersed with area devotees and Japanese businessmen. Staff is well-versed on the menu.
The Food
Expect a traditional Japanese menu with a few well-chosen Americanized sushi house favorites. Starters include the spicy tuna mushroom and light-as-air vegetable tempura. For rolls, sample the colorful caterpillar roll or Kubo's roll with tempura shrimp, but it's the sushi and sashimi that best display the sushi bar's talents. Commendably fresh and artfully presented sushi includes yellowtail, mackerel, salmon and daily specials like the luscious toro and live scallop. Entrees include sizzling scallops and shrimp, tangy garlic beef, noodle soups and rice bowls.

We have been going to Kubo's since we moved here two years ago. We try other places from time to time, but keep coming back to Kubo's. The rolls and sashimi are the freshest that I've had in Houston. Their specials, happy hour, and frequent dining program are also great. The service is the most inconsistent quality of the restaurant; you never know if it is going to excellent or just average. However, I have never had horrible service. I have found that most people either like Kubo's or Azuma (which I give low marks to in all categories), but never both.

We were seated promptly but the waiter was either over worked or stupid. We waited forever to get our order in and when ti finally came the pieces were small. I think this place is overpriced. Miyako's is so much better!
Pros: None
Cons: Slow service, not value for the money spent
