Kobe Jones, King Street Wharf Sydney
Sunset Dinner at Kobe Jones, KSW
After a long week at work, it was finally Friday. I had looked forward to tonight for a while as it marked a special occasion. A special occasion deserves a special place to eat, and what more special place than chowing down on some Japanese-western fusion cuisine on the waterfront on King Street Wharf?
A short stroll from Wynyard and just past the newly constructed Macquarie Bank Building, we arrived at Kobe Jones.
Sunset view =)Starting with cocktails, we had the Tokyo Blue which is a mix of vodka and sake - a bit strong for chicks maybe, but quite nice. We also got the Kobe Jones Sunset which is a fruity concoction of mango liqeur, strawberry liquer and other fruit juices- a sweet chick drink :P

We ordered a number of dishes from the ala carte menu because everything looked soooo good....however they recommend that the dishes be shared and that you order 5-6 dishes....so with just 2 people and ordering the number of dishes it was a bit much....but still yum. In hindsight, we should have ordered the set menu for 2 people which is $95 pp excl. drinks. A bit pricey but it would have meant we got to sample pretty much all the good dishes.
Anyways, we started off with the Number one special- which is crab salad with avocado wrapped in snapper and baked with Kobe Jones secret sauce. This was soooo delicious and a must try for anyone going to Kobe Jones- you can really taste the crab meat. Unfortunately we were too eager to start eating and finished it off before I could take a photo :(.
Next up was Anago Scallops which was also nice, but I found the scallop a little dry.

My companion is a big fan of sushi and sashimi, so we could not got pass the sushi platter which had both a selection of delicous sushi and some of the Kobe California Roll. Sushi was fresh and the rolls- a delicious combination of flavours.
Sushi Platter$55
For mains, we ordered the Green tea smoked Salmon which had a delectable green tea flavour and the Salmon beautifully smoked. My only gripe would be that the it was tad salty. So we ordered a side of Wasabi Mash which was the perfect accompanyment to the Salmon. The Mash could also be eaten on its own. Fantastic Mash!!

Last dish was the Volcano roll. A very generous topping of baked scallops on the already delicous crab salad and avocado roll. One word of warning, the special cream sauce is very creamy :P
