If you were looking for somewhere for maybe a date, family outing or just dinner and are looking for the hibachi experience I would definitely recommend.Service was amazing and we were sat right away.Food was about what I was expecting nothing particularly outstanding but what I was craving.

Great place to visit. It was our first of many. Service was great (server was Don) and food was fresh. If your like me and like fresh greens just ask for side salad and oil, squeeze lemon and soy sauce with your choice of sashimi. The martinis were exceptional. They didn’t have the Japanese whisky, daikon or radish yet meal was very good. Must visit on your Sushi experience belt.

I have been to other Kobe Japanese Steakhouses and this one is not even on the same playing feild. The chief looked like he was forced to work and the atmosphere wasn’t very inviting. The food lacked basic flavor. I’ll definitely be looking at other Japanese steakhouses next time I want some.

Craving a fun and delicious dining experience? Look no further than Kobe Japanese Steakhouse! The chefs are the stars of the show, cooking up fresh, flavorful food right in front of you with playful antics. It's perfect for birthdays or groups, and the portions are generous. If crowds aren't your thing, opt for a quieter seat near the bar.

Bathrooms were absolutely terrible. Toilets moved when you sit down. Also smells like death. We were told 10 min at most before we could place our order. We sat at the table by the bar not at the grill. Took 15 minutes for someone to finally come over to us although the restaurant was empty. We then had to wait another 20 mins for anyone to come and bring us anything and the first thing that arrived was our food. But we still hadn’t received our sides or waters that we had ordered. So we asked atleast 3 people for our water and sides and finally a cook had to bring the water out for us. And to top it off they are trying to force us to do a 18% tip!!! I usually have no problem tipping. That is if you did the bare minimum of your job atleast. But it’s absurd that the restaurant is empty and it took over 45 mins just for a cup of water. And never even asked how everything came out. This place had gone from a family place to just greed. They feel that if you make people pay the gratuity in the first place then they don’t have to try and earn a tip.

We just walked in to get some lunch. They were almost empty but said it would be 5-10 mins. They then seated us like 2 mins later. We were seated at a hibachi table with one other person. The waitress walked up and asked the other gentleman for his drink order and then he ordered food. She said nothing to us and walked away. She brought him water, soup, and salad and still didn’t say a word to us. We asked her why she hadn’t even spoken to us and she said she had all the other tables and her boss was yelling at her. We told her never mind and walked out. We were really looking forward to eating here today but they need to staff properly or not seat us until they’re ready.

First time here. 1000/10 would come here again. We drive an hour out for Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious, and cooked to perfection. The service was super nice and caring. The atmosphere is amazing. We even got a free cheesecake after our meal!

I'd never been to a "hibachi" type place, so this was definitely a new experience for me. I'd had their food off of uber eats once and had thought it was good but oh my gosh this was on a whole other level. I left this place wanting nothing but udon noodles all week and I'm still dying to have more. Would definitely upgrade to the ribeye next time but wow I can imagine how much better it'll be!

It was disheartening to go to a place like this when I had such high hopes for it. My family went for my daughters birthday to be greeted by HORRENDOUSLY spelling bathrooms, where behind the toilet was stacked with trash, and our hostess had a terrible attitude. She interrupted us multiple times and tried to charge us $10 extra for anything not made on the grill- so if I’m ordering a $23 dish then I’m really paying $33… that’s just out of touch. Additionally, she tried to charge my child money for “sitting on a chair” because I said they’d share off my plate since they were too small to get their own plate and then replied by rolling her eyes at me when I said my child would sit in my lap instead. We walked up and left before even ordering due to the ridiculous attitude and menu structure.The waitress was unkind, the restaurant bathrooms were unkept, and the food and menu were ridiculously overpriced and out of touch. I would not recommend going here.

Ok here’s our experience we arrived and three young lady’s buried into they’re phones with a bad attitude because they waited 45 minutes and still had yet to eat we ordered some items and they complained about the wait and wanted to leave but were told they were getting complimentary food for having to wait at that point everything seemed rushed which lead to our waiter forgetting our order of sushi and $30 whisky I really wanted to try our food being cooked was placed on our plate but the sauces were given at the end once our food was getting cold but to top it off this was my sons first time and his birthday dinner so overall not the best experienceThis might be a one off thing but like I said it’s our experience this evening

The hostess was disrespectful to my mother and wife in front of my children and grandparents. We were then told that my 3 year old daughter would be charged $10 because she was simply present at the table in my lap. They then tried to charge us another $10 additionally to the meal that would be prepared in the kitchen instead of by the chef in front of us. I had a table for 13 and we were all extremely cordial, arrived all at once and were treated so poorly that I had the entire table get up and we left in disgust. We will not be back, I have personally had an issue with the hostess having an attitude with a client I brought to the restaurant on three separate occasions. This place used to have class, a good ambiance and great food. But the fact that we had so many issues, they refused to split the check more than one time, and the additional charges, gave us an awful taste in our mouth. I strongly suggest going to Nagoya Japanese restaurant and it's just two miles away. Do yourself a favor and go to a place that is worth your time and money.
