kobito - Oatley

Café style (tiled floors, bench seating). The food is nice and we have been a couple of times now. The food is freshly prepared and most dishes came with salad. The menu is limited in many respects and it is not the usual Australian idea of meals and rice, they tend to have meals and salad. It is worth a visit especially if you are local, but there are definitiely better Japanese restaurants around (albeit not close by). They have 1 waitress who struggles to serve the restaurant and often forgets things (usually the rice as it is an extra order).

Decided to have a quick take-away last night and tried Kobito at Oatley. We ordered "Course 1" which consists of Teriyaki Chicken + tempura + salad + rice ($15), a Seaweed Salad ($6.50) and chicken Yakosoba ($14). Total cost $35.50 for 2 people. The food was fresh and fabulous. We couldn't eat it all and I've just finished off the left overs for "little lunch" he he he). You can dine in (byo) or take away. I suspect this is going to become one of our favourite local spots

No soft furnishing guarantee a noisy meal if the restaurant is busy. Food is about average for a suburban Japanese restaurant. Nothing brilliant, nothing bad either. We generally take away so can't judge the wait staff.

Ordered some takeaway. Waited the 20 mins that was asked. Went in and waited another 10 mins. I asked the polite waitress how long it would be she looked at the computer and printed out my order and I was told it would be another 40 mins and by the way they couldn't make two of the dishes we had ordered. I thanked them and walked out. Obviously they can't handle a Friday night with one waitress and one chef. Don't bother.

If you actually get a dish like sashimi and the sushi rolls rather than stock standard fried dishes aimed for the local palate, then it's great. Really fresh considering its sleepy Oatley. Funky fit out and child friendly. Price wise it is comparable to nearby Hurstville and MUCH fresher and the sashimi is better quality.Great local place
