I’ve been coming here for YEARS. today was perfect. It wasn’t packed for a Friday night. I called ahead and my food was ready shortly after I arrived. Tastes great and generous portions. We will have leftovers. The parking is the only downside but if you live close just walk on over. I’ll continue to come here.

Sometimes it’s really packed and it’s a small space so it gets crammed up quickly. However, tonight was just perfect.

The food here is great, my whole family enjoy eating here which is not usual. Everyone is happy when we have Kobe-ya. The katsu curry is great and so are the rice and noodle options. The sushi is also very nice and all the servings are quite large. We eat here regularly and will continue to do so.

REALLY kind people. Serving delicious food, with some very affordable options. They kept much meat on my ribs as a youngster.

The food is terrible. Avoid! I’ve had a better meal at Panda Express. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box. The sauce tasted like it was out of can - thick, gloopy, and way too sugary. If I wasn’t so hungry I would have walked out after the first bite but I forced myself to finish. And there was some kind of rice noodle salad that was made with mayonnaise. One bite and I pushed it away. Terrible. Ambiance of a bus station.

Precooked chicken that was dry, California rolls didn't have much taste. Not sure what the noodle side dish was, but it was ok. All in all not a very positive experience here. All for $16 dollars, expensive.

I had a chicken teriyaki bento box at Kobe-Ya today. The dressing on the salad was too salty and vinegary. The chicken meat tasted bland and dry. The thick teriyaki sauce that coated the pre-cooked chicken was way too salty! The rice was good. The cold noodles tasted refreshing. The bill was around $14.95. I added a tip, but I didn’t feel there was value in the money I spent for my lunch today.

The Katsu Curry sauce isn't Japanese, it's Vietnamese. So it was good, but deceptive. I personally won't be coming back.

Our family’s go-to spot for bento since I was in middle school. I’m 27 now and feel super nostalgic ordering the katsu curry and cucumber noodles. Love you Kobe-Ya
