I heard that Kobe Steak and Sushi revamped their sushi lunch buffet, so I decided to waddle in post-gym session to see if I could get my $20 worth of carbs and protein. As someone who is known for being a glutton for punishment (and maybe just a glutton in general), I didn’t have high hopes and I’m glad I didn’t because it was basically sushi karaoke night for rice and fish that didn’t quite hit the right notes.

The wait between ordering and actually getting the food was… well, let’s just say I aged like fine sake in that time. They were clearly more focused on the hibachi grill where the real magic (and money) happens. Also, it was graduation day, so the crowd probably didn’t help.

The appetizers were surprisingly decent. The mixed tempura was my jam even though, for something that took so long, it arrived cold. I cracked a joke to my friends about that fried food getting cold feet on the way to the table.

The sushi rice? Eh, let’s just say it was forgettable. The rolls were so loosely rolled I half-expected them to unravel like my motivation to keep eating them. The sashimi was also lacking in freshness, no sea-to-table vibes here, but at least I didn’t end up hugging the toilet later.

Would I go back? Sure, maybe if I’m in the mood to see how many so-so sushi rolls I can stack before I regret my life choices. But hey, at $20, you get what you pay for—and sometimes that’s just a bunch of average sushi and a couple of good jokes with friends.

My first impression in this place was, Wow.
It's clean, friendly, and professional. They're very attentive to their customers.
I was pregnant at the time, but I was craving for sushi 🍣 . I told the waitress I was expecting and asked her to recommend the sushi I could eat. She recommends which one to get and which one is the most delicious. I ordered a lot of sushi rolls for the family (more like for me 😄). I also love their calamari. Delicious. My daughters love their bento box 🍱
I'm impressed by the chef, very skilled. My family and I really enjoyed the interactive hibachi grill experience. We enjoyed eating our sushi and appetizers while watching the chef cook in front of us. 💯🔥 Fired rice was so delicious even though it might not look like it. I honestly thought it wouldn't taste good but I was wrong. It was delicious! All the food there are.
I can't believe I would witness my shy daughter and non drinker husband participate in the food tossing and sake squirting. 😂
My husband loved their wagyu beef so much he couldn't stop talking about it how delicious it was.

With a family of 4 that ordered a lot of food and hibachi grill, I think it was a reasonable price. $300+ Overall, it's worth it to experience it with the family. ❤️

Highly recommended to come eat at this place with your family and enjoy the hibachi grill experience. I would go again!

If you want the experience of a showman preparing your food, then this is the place. If you're looking for a quiet place for dinner, it isn't. The food was mixed. Some delicious (Lobster King roll, though it seemed like a shrimp roll), sesame chicken was also delish. Chicken teriyake was dry, and the margarita extra sour. Oh, stuffed mushrooms were a hit.

I like this place very much. My daughter has food allergies so they make sure to cook her food first. They were so nice and entertaining. The food was good the only problem I had was toward the last ends of my bites when I almost finished my food, it was starting to get salty. But i would try again to go back.

First time trying this place and let me say it was beyond worth the over hour drive to get here. Ordered the fresh oysters for starter and they just melted in the mouth, whatever that is put on them was so flavorful. Also ordered the lobster king roll and the sushi/sashimi for two; probably didn't need the extra roll, but everything was so spectacular! How the box for the sushi/sashimi was so beautiful and whatever the green stuff in the spoon or was just the right spiciness and full a flavor too. Hands down probably the best oysters, sushi and sashimi I've ever had!! I'll definitely be making the drive back for the hibachi grill, that we were originally planning on trying hahaha.

We had a great experience for my daughter's 16th birthday celebration. Had amazing chefs, special thank you to Tiger. We all left with a full belly, a smile and great memories. So much fun! Thank you!

They sat us right away with our reservation. The staff was friendly and the showmanship was good. My family enjoyed the food but they forgot some appetizers we ordered. Unfortunately, the prices have increased since the last time I visited.

The sushi is incredibly fresh and one of the best I've ever had. The service was a little slower, but I also would have to say it was my fault because I am unfamiliar with the ebb and flow of the restaurant. If you get the all you can eat buffet, order the rolls in quick succession and know what you want quickly. I will be going back for thr hibachi grill though!
