We were visiting family in the area, and it happened to be someone’s birthday. It’s a family tradition to get Hibachi during special occasions, and our usual spot in the area didn’t have any reservations available… so we made a reservation at Kobe.

The atmosphere here is very casual. It’s definitely not a fancy Hibachi Steakhouse… more of a casual Asian restaurant. Service was hit or miss. Our chef was a funny guy but the waitresses were very busy in gossip and it was hard to flag them down. Everyone was pretty polite, though.

The food was good but not great. The soup was bland, but the salad was typical delicious Hibachi salad. The entrees were good but the proteins were a bit overdone and the noodles were slick with grease. Everything could have used more seasoning as well. The ice cream they gave us was a tiny portion and freezer-burnt as well.

Considering I don’t live in the area, I don’t think I’d be back. Next time when I’m visiting family, I will try our typical spot for reservations. Not a terrible place but not worth the price.

We eat a lot of sushi. I've probably been to about 50 different sushi restaurants in my life. This was the worst we have had. The fish tasted sour. My husband said the eel was old chewy rubber. Everything had a chemical taste. The saki was the strangest I've ever had. Do not get sushi here!

Hibachi was very entertaining and the food is very delish. Love the noodles and the sauces.

I am disappointed to see that in addition to charging me a 18% service fee, this restaurant asked for an additional 18-22% tip on the bottom of the bill. My bill was $210 in food and $266 after service fee and taxes. And would have been $313 after minimum tip. Thats over $100 in tax and service. We didn’t even sit at a cooking table.

Made a reservation for me and my two kids for a hibachi table. After getting situated at the table and placing our order, we were then instructed to sit at a non hibachi table since we didn’t order enough food. We ordered $60 worth of food (hibachi, udon noodles, and drinks). They picked up my children and our bags without my permission and moved us to a side table. Various families came in with less than us during the duration of our meal and were served at the habachi table. My children were disappointed and my heart broke for them watching the other families sit at the tables while we sat off to the side.

Pretty disappointing overall. Ordered crab Rangoon, shumai, miso soup, and a spicy tuna crunch roll for lunch.

The crab rangoon was extremely oily, and the breading was super chewy and tough.
The shumai was freezing cold in the middle still, not just room temp from the travel to me, but actually cold like it was frozen and not cooked through when heating up.
The roll had almost no actual crunchy pieces at all in it, it was 99% tuna and the tiny bits of crunch were soggy.

They also packaged the warm soup and food in the same bag on top of the sushi so that arrived warm, not ideal. Sushi should be in a different bag than the warm foods!

0 stars if I could. Will never give them any of my money ever again! Will let everybody I know to not go here! Charged me separate after I picked up my order $1.08 to add jalapenos to a Boston Roll! This is the first time ever and I've been ordering here for years. Completely unacceptable that you wouldn't let the customer know before just charging the extra money. For the amount of money that I had already spent including extra for a tiny half-filled cup of teriyaki sauce, extra for an extra dressing, and extra for spicy mayo! Aren't those enough up charges to just put the jalapenos in the Boston roll without charging!!!? If you want to upcharge on an ingredient then you should add it to the online ordering menu. Give the customer capability to see up front that it's $1.08 up charged add a little bit of jalapeno to a roll. I can get three full jalapenos at the store for that price! Terrible!

We went there on Father's Day for dinner, and the place was empty. There is no reason that I saw for this, but everything was great, and we had a hibachi table to ourselves.
