Food was good, as were the drinks , and the service was very kind (we had a toddler with us and they were sweet, patient, and helpful).

My lone complaint is I wish there was some J-pop playing. The food is spectacular, and the portions are big. Will be coming back.

walked into Kobe Ninja House as one person. I walked out forever changed.

This was my first time ever having hibachi, and I truly was not emotionally prepared. What I thought would be a normal dinner turned into a full-blown awakening. Fire erupted inches from my face. Knives flew through the air with purpose. An ONION became a VOLCANO. At one point I stopped chewing and just stared, questioning every life choice that led me to not experiencing this sooner.

The chef was performing feats I didn’t know were possible while simultaneously cooking the best food I have ever eaten. The steak? Perfect. The chicken? Unreal. The fried rice? I’m convinced it altered my brain chemistry. I was fed mid-air like it was casual. That moment will live rent-free in my mind forever.

Time lost all meaning. I forgot who I was before this meal. I forgot what I used to think good food was. Every bite felt like a revelation. Every flame felt symbolic.

The staff was incredible, the energy was electric, and by the end I was full, stunned, and spiritually reborn. I now measure my life in two eras: before hibachi at Kobe Ninja House and after.

$20 from our payment went missing from the table to the cashier when brought by the waitress. Not a good thing when cash dissappears!

This was hands down the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. My waitress was phenomenal on Saturday, but us along with 3 others dining had to beg for the heat to be turned up and they refused. I was shaking my entire meal and on top of that, I asked to switch tuna for crab on my sushi roll (the sweetheart was 50 cents less that had crab, too) and the guy said hed have to charge us an extra 5 bucks lol like in what world, buddy? Our veggies were also not cooked so that was pretty disappointing. We spent $70+ just to freeze and eat half cooked food. It was our celebration lunch, too. SO disappointing. I'll never dine at this location again. Shout out to our waitress, though. She was so great and tried her best. Bless her for working for a bunch of jerks.

Had an issue with an order and they resolved it and made it right and I appreciate them for that, was frustrated about the issue but they fixed it and did what they could to make up for inconvenience, kind workers and they did the right thing, good spot with just a minor hiccup, good food too

This review comes after three separate visits to this restaurant, and unfortunately, each one has been disappointing. Our most recent visit on April 27, 2025, was the worst yet — and the reason for this review.
We arrived around 2:35 p.m. and stood at the front desk where two employees ignored us completely. No greeting, no eye contact. After about three minutes, one finally said he’d be “right with us.” Still no hello or acknowledgment. When he finally returned, he told us it would be a 5–10 minute wait while he cleaned off a table.
Once seated, we waited several more minutes before our server, Lindsay, came by to say she’d be with us shortly. She dropped off two waters — which honestly tasted like sewer water — and walked away again. By the time she came back to take our order, it was nearly 2:57 p.m. My husband’s beer arrived, but she forgot my Pepsi. I had to ask again before finally receiving it several minutes later.
We ordered the orange chicken lunch special with rice, soup, and salad to share. The chicken and rice arrived lukewarm, with no soup or salad ever brought to the table. The chicken itself was rubbery and undercooked — completely inedible.
To make matters worse, when I asked for a refill on my Pepsi, Lindsay picked up my glass with her fingers inside the rim and set the same glass back down, straw still in it with lipstick marks. That is absolutely unhygienic and unacceptable.
We left most of our food untouched and our patience completely gone. Our two previous visits were also marked by poor service and bad food, but this final experience sealed it for us. We let our server know exactly why there was no tip — she charged us for items we never received, and what we did get was terrible.
We normally tip 25–30% when dining out, but this experience was beyond disappointing. The overcharge can serve as her tip.
Never again will we eat here.

Had a great time here. Huge portions. The show was fun. Fun to watch him make our food and interact with us. We brought 4 containers of food home. The best steak I've had in a while from a restaurant. The lobster and shrimp was so good. We will definitely be back soon.
