I’ve
been
waiting
for
Kobe
in
New
Tampa
to
open
for
a
while.
Finally
got
to
try
it
on
a
Saturday
night.
Reservation
was
5:30
and
there
was
about
a
5
minute
wait
to
be
seated.
Once
we
were
seated,
the
power
went
out.
Emergency
power
was
on
but
only
lighted
emergency
lights.
We
couldn’t
order
drinks
or
anything
food
due
to
this.
We
were
given
water.
Nicki
was
very
nice
and
helpful
and
you
can
tell
she
really
didn’t
know
what
to
do
as
there
was
nothing
to
do
but
wait.
Staff
worked
very
hard
to
accommodate
guests
during
this
time
as
well
as
try
to
figure
out
what
the
issue
was
and
get
the
electricity
back
on.
20
minutes
or
so
went
by
until
the
power
finally
came
back
on,
at
the
exact
moment
the
other
party
at
our
table
was
getting
up
to
leave
but
they
stayed.
Randy
was
our
chef.
Great
chef.
Nice
presentation.
Onion
soup
was
surprisingly
flavorful.
Salad
was
good.
Rice,
veggies,
and
noodles
were
all
huge
portions.
So
much
so,
I
didn’t
know
where
any
of
the
proteins
would
go.
Dad
had
the
trio,
lobster,
scallops
and
shrimp.
All
delicious
and
he
rated
it
a
4.
Mom
had
filet
and
lobster
which
she
said
was
good
except
two
small
issues.
Her
lobster
was
chewy
and
she
wouldn’t
order
lobster
again
and
the
steak
pieces
were
too
big
and
no
knife
was
provided.
Otherwise
she
enjoyed
her
meal
and
gave
it
a
4.
I
had
filet
and
shrimp
it
was
exceptionally
good.
I
give
my
food
a
5.
However
my
mom
did
note
one
thing
that
I
also
agree
with,
the
protein
portions
were
small
in
comparison
to
everything
else
and
for
the
price.
The
restaurant
did
comp
us
a
nice
amount
on
our
check
due
to
the
power
outage
and
delay
which
was
nice
but
they
add
18%
gratuity
on
every
check
no
matter
the
size
of
your
party
and
still
expect
a
tip
on
the
bill
plus
we
tipped
the
chef
which
has
always
been
customary
at
any
hibachi
restaurant
I’ve
been
to.
I
wish
this
review
was
5
stars
but
I
had
to
give
it
the
4
strictly
because
of
the
delay
with
no
electricity
and
for
protein
portion
size.
I
will
100%
return
to
this
location
and
can’t
wait
to
do
so.
The
food
was
delicious!
