    Food was amazing! Ethan was definitely the life of the party and engaged well with our 4 year old that had never been. The dressing on the salad was soooo tasty and the drinks were also great. Can't wait to go back. We had the sumo combination, the Salmon and the chicken. Everyone loved their food

    Lot's of fun. Great Chef, Great Server & Good Food. Just a heads-up, they automatically incorporate a +18% tip ontop of the already relatively high priced menu. Just expect to pay ar least around at least $30 bucks a person. Not too bad & for the entertainment, it's worth every penny.

    We were there to celebrate my birthday. Our server was Muffin and she was absolutely amazing. Our chef was Shawn and he put on an outstanding show. Great overall experience with this duo team. Would definitely come back and request these 2 again.

    The food is excellent! Both DJ and Chef Shaun were amazing! Chef Shaun literally looked out for our health by explaining why he cooked things a certain way.(less soy sauce on the cooking of the rice) and triple checked everyone had the proper cook temp on respective items. Also unless you have a zipper stomach there will be left leftovers. Please do yourself a favor and go to this gem. I recommend booking via open table.

    Definitely not worth the to go cocktails. They are 9.50 each and the class is both of the pouches combined. The food was just ok, but not bad. The take out process was pretty quick and employee was not. Overall just not worth the money. Many better options for take out food and drinks. Just check out the glory days take out margarita! Much better and only $3!

    The portions where great for the price. The service was slow. It took up to 40 mins before the Chef came out to start the show. The food tasted great. We will definitely be back. Hopefully it will be a little faster than last time.

    Our chef was amazing. He did the spatula twirling and even tossed it behind his back and caught it. I have been to a few restaurants that do this and he was the first one I’ve seen that did the volcano with another few layers on top to make it look like an hourglass before he lit it and then he knocked off the top part that looked like a funnel so the steam came out of the “volcano.” The food was delicious. Both my 5&7yo liked the soup and my 5yo doesn’t even like mushrooms normally but she ate them and said she liked them anyway. They both liked their noodles and my 5yo loved her rice. My husband and I shared the land & sea with lobster, shrimp and steak. We asked for the steak to be cooked medium and it was really good. Maybe it was the cut but it was tender and good. The lobster and shrimp was good too. I enjoy eating like this - right when the food is ready and nice and hot on your plate (I like my hot food hot and my cold food cold). There was a little confusion on my brother in laws extra orders to go but other than that everyone was nice and the food was delicious. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a place like this and it made me think I need to go back more often. Give it a try!

    We enjoy every time we come here. We've done regular dining and hibachi and we've had a great time for both, although I feel you get way more food doing hibachi 😋 there's a lot of different options-salmon, scallops,shrimp, chicken and steak, we love them all! The sushi menu has all types of combinations to choose from;we've had the tempura and salmon rolls. Next time you're in the area give them a try, although our wait was 40 min, we came on a Sunday @4 and there were a few birthday celebrations going on so the wait was expected.

    Elissa our hostess was so sweet very quick and very attentive. Our chef Shawn was the absolute best you can tell he genuinely cares about the customers and he went above and beyond for the whole table . We will be back to see them both . For the amount of food you get plus the entertainment it is absolutely worth the price. This by far has been the best hibachi we have had and one of the best restaurants we have been to since moving here.

    This was a great experience and my daughter enjoyed her birthday celebration at Kobe’s. We made reservations for 10 people. They sat us ASAP once all our party was there. The waitress and chef was awesome. The waitress was very patient with a bunch of teenagers. The chef was entertaining. We enjoyed are dinning experience.

    The food was good. A little bit on the high price for what you are getting. Sushi was on point. This restaurant is casual family dining not a fancy/date night place. Service was good. They said it up front, but I don’t like when the restaurant impose 18% tip.

    If youre looking for an amazing steak, then YES, if your looking for sushi then maybe NOT. They have a wide selection of steaks and seafood perfectly prepared in front of your eyes but the sushi could be better. The atmosphere and the show they put on for you is great, but if youre seated in the interior rooms your service may be neglected. Great place for birthdays and parties. Prices are a bit on the high side. Overall good experience. …..and thats the Truth!!!

    We visited during lunch on Saturday. Servers appeares rushed, spilling food while serving us, but the chef prepared all components with exact tenderness, including steak 🥩 and shrimp 🍤 Vegetables and noodles 🍜 were tender and not mushy 🙌 Chef was friendly with the "let's fun attitude". Onion stack was lit on fire then used colored flashlight type instrument to appear blue inside the stacked onion ... ended with train whistle while using spatula to appear the onion was moving 🚆 HILARIOUS!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kobe’s Steakhouse to celebrate my friend Tiffany’s birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was filled with excitement and anticipation. The culinary performance began with flair as the skilled chef showcased their knife skills, juggling utensils, and creating a fiery spectacle. It was entertaining and kept everyone at the table engaged and excited. The menu offered a variety of options, from succulent steak to fresh seafood, and vegetarian choices for those with different preferences. The food was cooked to perfection; the steak was tender, and the flavors were exquisite. The fried rice was a hit with everyone, and the hibachi vegetables were a delightful addition to our meal.

    What a wonderful evening! Our chef was Keno (?) and he was fantastically funny. It was my oldest daughter’s first time at a hibachi grill and she loved it. My friend and I had the scorpion bowl (so good) and shared a trio plate (plenty of food with some leftover). My daughter ordered sushi and it was delicious. Really love this kind of food and the service was great!

    We've been trying to go for a few months now. We have a hard time "planning ahead", but we did this time and it was well worth it. My husband and I took our 27 yr old daughter to dinner and we had a great time. Masato was our chef and he was outstanding. We've been going to this style of Japanese steakhouses for decades and his skills were beyond any we'd ever seen. He did things we'd never seen before. He'd definitely spent time perfecting his craft. The food was excellent. It was cooked to perfection and our special orders were done with ease and no issues. He was engaging with the guests and did an amazing job making everyone feel comfortable and valued. He has a sense of humor and it was refreshing to interact with him. I would request him every time we dine here. Trust me ladies, you won't be disappointed. It was a pleasure to watch him cook.

    My friends and I went there for lunch on Christmas Eve and it was one of thee BEST dining experiences EVER. The service, food, atmosphere, were above par. Truly outstanding job. The food is delicious; all cooked to perfection; too. I recommend you check this place out. In my opinion, this is one of the best hibachi restaurants in the area. THANK YOU SHAWN! YOU ARE PHENOMENAL AT YOUR CRAFT!!!

    Absolutely love Kobe no matter the location. Always fun and entertaining. Tonight “Bruce Lee” hosted our table to celebrate my niece’s 22nd birthday. Ordered my usual teriyaki steak; tender and juicy. Price is a little high, but worth it.

    I’ve been here 2x within the past two weeks, first time being for my birthday. The food and Hot Sake was great! Both times I was fortunate to have Chef Coco and Muffin and they’re absolutely amazing. I wasn’t sure if requesting a certain chef was possible so I was elated to see Chef Coco yet again. Great service and great food. We’ll back and hopefully luck up again. Thanks guys!

    The food was good and the reservation was mostly on time, which I didn't mind having to wait a bit. Two strong negatives really stood out. First, the place was very dirty from the front door to our table, it was as if they never bothered to clean throughout the day nor the day before. Walking to the bathroom, it was consistently dirty with food and other debris. Second, alcohol was grossly over priced. I don't think I will go back for that reason alone but the hygiene in the public areas is worrisome as well.

    Birthday celebration for my wife and myself and 6 of our close friends! Definitely had an amazing time! Food was amazing as always and the service on point! The chef was really cool and offered some really great pointers on cooking on a flat top girl when he heard I had a new Blackstone! Really appreciated that he took time from doing his routine to give me some great ideas as well as some really useful pointers! Definitely need to make a reservation as it gets crazy busy and getting a spot without one can pose difficult to getting a table! We made our reservation through Open Table and had zero issues when we arrived. Thank you to the Kobe team for making our birthday celebration a success!

    Chef Junior and Rain were amazing! Best Kobe experience we’ve had in a while. I’m Gluten free and Dairy free and it’s hard to find a great dinner/lunch option but Junior and Rain made it super easy and accommodated my allergies. The food was amazing too. Great job!
