Kobo Gourmet — Restaurant in Pickering

Tried it out as I heard good things about it.

Flavours were good but the rolls were very loose and fell apart quickly. Ordered the green dragon roll and the jumbo spider roll. The rolls were smaller than I expected as these are special rolls. The tempura like item on top of the jumbo spider roll seemed overfried and hollow inside without much content.

For the price, it is quite expensive for what is offered compared to other restaurants around the GTA, but they do have good flavours.

The environment was also quite dark. Nice quiet place to have a meal but a bit of interior renovation would definitely help up the dining atmosphere.

Overall, would come back again but too expensive...

We tried this place first time and unfortunately had an awful experience. As soon as we sat down, there was weird smell in the dining areas, the menu was very small and the food wasn't enjoyable. My kids' salmon avocado rolls had so much rice and tiny salmon/avocados in it. When kids can tell it was different from what they normally get for Salmon avocado rolls, it says something. My sushi set had very thick rice with thin sashimi, chopped tuna was super dry, and the salmon had something on it (shared the picture). My husband said the beef steak was ok.

From other reviews, it seems that they are more popular with the takeout lunch rice balls. We won't go...

Average food (like most sushi chains). Very small portions for the price. I ordered the Omakase sashimi for $24 and received about 12 pieces which were each about half the size of normal chains....they were not at all special in any way. Did not receive rice with my order; I assume that's a separate order. Miso soup was decent...was separately ordered by my wife. She ordered chicken teriyaki...and as you'd guess the portion size was about half the size of the bigger chains, albeit the taste was marginally better. Was a mistake not to just go to Makimono on Liverpool. Won't make the...
