I want to start by saying that I love Japanese culture and have been a fan of the Kobe Steakhouse and Seafood in Orlando FL. I love the atmosphere of a comedic and talented chef that allows me to see from start to finish and get to know other guest while we al watch the entertainment. The price is up there but the cuisine and experience is usually the best. (This is for the Orlando FL location.) The Tempe Kobe is obviously not the same chain judging by the different name. I took my daughter to celebrate her Baptismal there 7 years ago and make it a habit to do the same every year. I made reservations for 4 for 6:30pm. We arrived early at 6:07pm and though the restaurant was empty they would not allow us to sit down at our table until 6:30pm. They could of allowed us to sit at our empty table and congregate with water. I told them it was a celebration of baptism. The chef Seth found this humorous and did not understand that it was a wholesome occasion. He made obscene jokes with comments like "let me love you long time" He told us to hold our mouths open so he can squirt sake in it from afar emulating ejaculation. I kept speaking to him in Japanese and he understood me, but spoke back in Spanish to be funny. He overcooked all of the food. He put the chicken on first and then the lobster, fish, shrimp and scallops... Finished them all off and then came back to the dried out chicken and cooked it again!! The drink which had no price on the menu Tokyo Tea which is the Japanese Long Island ice tea, tasted like lemon lime soda. In the end we were automatically charged 19% gratuity for just 4 people with no notice. They kept my credit card. Didn't call me to tell me they had it. When I called and asked them to mail it to me they said that I could come to pick it up. Our meal was $200 I expect white glove service and the top of line cuisine with an authentic Japanese atmosphere. Like the Asian experience at Hakkasan. All of the meats were dried out and vegetables over cooked. The chef had fire everywhere and did not seemed to have the onion volcano act perfected. He never did the egg trick that I've seen every single time I've gone. These are the kind of things that I would tip 20% for. Gratuity is usually automatic on large groups. I will never go back.

We had the pleasure of visiting Kobe for the first time tonight in over a decade. We could not be more impressed. Several times my husband mentioned “it was the best night ever.” I made reservations (for 9 of us) ahead of time and had zero wait and were impressed by the friendly service and exciting hibachi show. Highly recommend the filet and scallops and the langostino hand roll.We had NY strip steak, filet mignon, chicken, shrimp and scallops, and it was all super, soft, delicious and packed with flavor.Our chef sure out on an eventful dinner show. The kids LOVED IT. The onion train was just the best. I am so happy this place is operating like it used to be and that it survived the pandemic. Can't wait to come back for the next celebration!

They Auto gratuity your meals and they didn't tell us luckily I seen this and caught it or else i would of tipped 40%.... we would of tipped 20% but the fact they tried that makes me feel like this establishment is untrustworthy and dishonest. . And apparently there is no manager. Will not go back. Shameful. What happend to earning your tips??

This is my absolute favorite place to eat wether it's lunch time or dinner they always take such good care of me!!! The restaurant is always very clean and the food makes my mouth water every time. Seth is my favorite cook, but I've never had a bad experience or meal with the other cooks
