The Class Of Houston – The only reason I am writing this review is to defend kubo's against the ignorant and unqualified negative reviews I have seen lately. I will start with the last one. He stated Kubo's had served him fish that had a "fishy odor". Then this novice tells us how he is a sushi nut. Well let me tell you that when you order awabi, bonito and mirugai there will be a fishy odor. Those fish NATURALLY have a stronger smell! Only a novice automatically equates a stronger fish smell with being spoiled or bad. My gu... read more

Avoid the Philly Roll – I read the user reviews and decided to try this place out and see for myself if it was the best sushi, I was slightly disappointed. The sushi was good, but the Philly Roll was horrible. The smoked salmon they used was crusty, as if it had been sitting out for 2 days. Otherwise it was good and the scallop sushi was to die for.

A Sushi trip worthwhile – I've been to several popular sushi restaurants, and Kubos thus far, has the freshest sushi around. The waitstaff and hostesses are super friendly and very attentive to all your needs. If sushi is not your thing, just try the appetizers or their popular dish, the Pork Cutlet Curry.

Perennially busy second-floor Rice Village hot spot for expertly crafted sushi and creative monthly chef specials. – 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 men... read more
