Japanese restaurants tend to revel in their heritage rather than trying to shake the stereotypes of their culinary past. In steps Kobe Jones, one of King Street Wharfïes busiest restaurants, presenting Japanese cuisine modernised with the western tastes of California. This chic, contemporary restaurant is the perfect vessel from which to indulge in the unique flavours of this modern fusion.
The modern twist on Japanese food is a resounding success. Mouth watering entrees include the spider roll, a crunchy soft shell crab served with crab salad, avocado, cucumber and a sprinkle of smelt roe, the volcano roll, a sublime dish of Californian rolls topped with a delectable, creamy oven baked scallop and sprinkled with sesame seeds and finally, the number one special, a crab salad with avocado wrapped in snapper and baked with an unctuous Kobe Jones cream sauce. Fish takes centre stage among the main courses. Seared tuna steak is rolled in peppercorns and served pink and moist with a seafood risotto or perhaps try the green tea salmon, marinated and seared, served with wasabi mash and nori cream. Banquet menus are available for groups of four or more, a great way to ensure you sample all the culinary delicacies available.
