The Scene – Kubota gracefully blends traditional touches like the black bamboo plants growing in the entryway with the modern, serpentine-shaped sushi bar. The atmosphere is casual, drawing a comfortable mix of local families and hip high-tech workers. The service is attentive and well-versed with the menu. – – The Food – Compared to other top-notch Japanese restaurants, the menu is somewhat limited--but everything on it is worth ordering. You won't go wrong with the raw fish. The spicy tuna rolls delivers an intense fiery kick. The yellowtail is so buttery and tender…

This restaurant has great food and service. The decor is nice although the restaurant itself can get a little cramped. One incident I was seated so close to another couple I felt as if I was in on their date with them. Talk about awkward. I would recommend a reservation for busy nights, especially if you're with a large party. This place is a little more upscale than your average Japanese restaurant, the prices also reflect that. They don't offer too many sushi rolls however they actually have their own full bar - not just sake/beer. Definitely a good place for special dinners - dates, etc. I also love how this restaurant has it's own parking lot. I would definitely come back.
Food is ok but the service is horrible

One time this was my favored restaurant. The business has picked up somewhat and the restaurant becomes very arrogant. The service is horrible. If you like to eat out while taking some abuse, this is the Japanese restaurant for you.
Pricey, but good quality food

I am only writing reviews for a calamari salad and sushi we ordered. The calamari salad was good, decent proportion for the price. Sushi was good, fresh. But they have traditional japanese sushi only, mainly nigiri and not very many rolls. Do not expect to see all those rolls that you would see at Americanized Japanese Restaurants. We visited the restaurant on a Tuesday night at around 7 pm, and we were seated right away. However, it can be crowded very quickly after 7:30 pm, even on week nights.
- Pros: Ambience, Fresh sushi
- Cons: High price, proportion
