Group of five, Saturday night dinner. Upon arrival I was greeted by the host who then walked me to our booth. It was extremely hot inside, they apologized for their air conditioning system. I asked to be moved to a cooler section of the restaurant before my friends arrived and was. However, it only helped cool the air a tiny bit. I had a mojito elixir the first one was good the second one I ordered didn’t taste anywhere near the same. The gyoza veggie and beef were good as well as the edemame. However, the main entree of fried rice were a miss for all of us. We each tried shrimp, chicken and steak friend rice. It was too greasy, almost mushy to my liking and had an off taste. None of us ate more than a few bites. The staff tried their best to entertain us with extra ginger tea shots. However, I would not recommend for dinner. It seems like KOBANO is still adjusting to the new venue and staff. I suggest working on the AC and food asap to stay alive. I visited the restaurant when it was IXTA and the food and drinks were much better this past summer than last weekend.

excellent fusiion Japanese and Brazilian, charmng service. If you are expecting a quiet restaurant think again: This is more of a night club atmosphere with sound levels to match - fun if you are in the mood for it.

We had a wait for the food, every starter we ordered came at different times like every 10-15min and same with the entrees, would've been better if it came out at same time. But overall the food is great and drinks as well, ambiance is nice and very cute for pics. Thank you!

One of the best sushi restaurants in Manhattan. Freshest fish, delicious cocktails and great service. The food displays are a spectacle you can't miss. I came for dinner, but I will definitely be back for their brunch!
