Customer Reviews
We started with the Lobster Rangoon, but it was hard to say if there was real lobster in it. The cream cheese filling itself was good. Our hibachi came with decent soup and salad. For the main dish, I ordered the Filet Mignon and Scallops, and both were tender, which is good since they can be easy to overcook. During the hibachi shrimp throwing, no one volunteered but me. It was funny since the hibachi chef threw about nine of them at me back to back. It looks pricey at first, but the portions, especially the rice, are generous and filling. Even though the chef’s English was not native, he did a really good job keeping everyone entertained.
It was such a fun and great experience. The food was excellent, and the chef was amazing! The only reason I gave it one less star is that we felt a bit rushed. Shortly after the chef left, we were brought to-go boxes. Aside from that, it was a great evening overall. I would recommend making a reservation and making sure everyone in your party is present so you can be seated promptly.
My wife and I come every year, at least once a year, for our anniversary. It is always a phenomenal experience. Chef Tyson in particular is always super lively and entertaining, and we are always happy when we see him rolling his cart towards our table. This is a place that we always leave happy and overstuffed from (with leftovers!), and we always look forward to our next visit. We apparently had a bit longer of a wait than was usual for a prior reservation, but before we could even think of the wait time we were approached personally by management to help with the situation. 10/10, I know we will be back for our eighth anniversary in a row at Kobe's next year.
We've gone to Kobe for years, and it's been a staple for special occasions in our family. Very good service, and always love the chefs. The last two times we've gone, they've not been able to honor a reservation. Two times ago, we waited 1.5 hours (reservation was 7:30, got seated at 9... not ideal with grandparents and two kids in tow). This time, we made the reservation for our kiddo's bday for 6pm. When we got there, there were (literally) over 100 people waiting inside and out, and we learned they were already over an hour behind on their reservations. I felt for the hostesses, and they were being very professional and courteous in spite of it being a difficult position for them to be in. I appreciate not wanting to rush parties along, but that's just bad business. It's clearly an issu
This is a great place to go for a large group. The food is prepared right in front of you! The cooks are very entertaining! The table space is a bit crowded and the food is mediocre at best. But it's a great place to go if you have a large number of people in your party. The atmosphere is loud and chaotic with several cooks preparing food in the same area! The cooks can only seat 10 so if your party is larger, the group will be divided. Parking was difficult to locate. Make sure you park in garage on the second level.
