Mobo's has a fairly large menu of neo California style sushi, but is over-priced. After ordering a teishoku entree (set course complete w/ rice and miso soup), I wanted to walk out of the door when the waitress brought my rice when everyone else was having their appetizers, as if the rice was my appetizer! Rice is never served as an appetizer! It always complements the entree. \r

It seems that the common theme among many sushi places in Santa Cruz is to serve an array of fancy sushi rolls with english names, comprised of non-Japanese ingredients such as mayo, cream cheese, and bbq sauce. However, I've come to believe that it is a sneaky way for a restaurant to use bad quality raw fish and cover it up with some mayo, imitation crab, and roasted sesame seeds.
Pros: Many different cali style sushi
Cons: Over-priced, below average quality raw fish, servers non familiar with true Japanese cuisine
