“I live teppanyaki restaurants. Some are great. Some are only good. This one was closer to great. The food was excellent.

The chef patter was good

The onion and mushroom soup was EXCELLENT.

The service was ok. I'm not sure why I need a glass absolutely full of ice in early May, indoors, but they did it TWICE. (photo)

The filet was properly cooked, as was the lobster. The fish fillet was slightly overcooked, and a bit salty.

The vegetables were good, perhaps a bit on the rare side

The sauces were tasty.

Worth visiting, added to my 'favorites'.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Kobe Hibachi. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was lively and perfect for a fun meal with family or friends.

The hibachi chef was entertaining, skilled, and made the dining experience enjoyable with impressive cooking tricks while preparing everything right in front of us. The food was cooked perfectly, and every bite was full of flavor. The steak was tender, the chicken was juicy, the shrimp was fresh, and the fried rice and vegetables were seasoned just right. The portions were generous, leaving everyone at the table satisfied.

Service throughout the meal was excellent, with drinks refilled promptly and staff checking in regularly to make sure everything was going well. The combination of delicious food, great entertainment, and outstanding customer service made for an unforgettable experience.

Overall, Kobe Hibachi is an excellent choice if you're looking for a fun dining experience and high-quality hibachi. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning for another great meal.“

“The food was delicious, but the waiter's attitude was terrible. I heard from a friend that they forced us to tip, but I didn't believe it at first. Today, after experiencing it myself, I realized that my friend was right. The service attitude was terrible. They didn't respond when I called them, and they were noisy and rude. As a result, when I went to the front desk to pay, the waiter followed me, asked me to swipe the card, pointed to the tip column and the name column and asked me to sign the tip and my name. The most speechless thing for me was that the lady at the front desk didn't stop them. My God, this is simply a rogue.“

“I miss this place, I really do! Its a good place to work at! Have lots of good customers!!! This place is will do more business“

“I love this place, always had great service, funny sometimes I drive from Hinesville just to get some, always get plenty portion's always give a tip...I been eating there for years...Never had anything to complain about.“

“This place is always serving up the freshest entrees and bowls. I love the Yakinuka beef with mushrooms, veggies and broccoli. I like that I was able to add on instead of getting rice and it wasn't too pricey. The folks who work there make it a habit to clean the countertops, trashcan and tables very well. The restrooms were also clean. I was greeted with a smile when I entered and ordered.“
