This is a decent place. I was with 2 other associates, and they thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Now, as I am a picky eater, I thought my meal was OK. I would go back, but I’d ask more questions on what comes with the meal.

Tried hibachi in a lot of places and this place is one of the best. Their food and sauce is consistently top tier. The staff, Tony and Fong, are also very kind, helpful and passionate about what they do. We recommend Little Kobe to everyone in Cookeville.

Be mindful of eating at “Little Kobe” of Cookeville. I visited their establishment today for a quick lunch only to have the worst dining experience I have ever encountered. There was only one of the usual workers and an empty dining room. Once seated I ordered two salads, two Cookeville Rolls (Salmon, crab, cucumber, and cream cheese topped with eel sauce), and one Mexican Roll (Shrimp, crab, and cucumber topped with spicy sauce). Upon receiving the sushi rolls, specifically the Cookeville Rolls, I noticed a difference about their usual feature. I’ve been eating at their establishment for many years and have had no complaints. I then requested the server to come over and asked if the protein displayed in the pictures was “salmon.” He began stating that it in-fact was salmon and proceeded to show me a piece of raw salmon from a cooler nearby. I’ve cooked salmon for over 5+ years I have seen the textures of cooked and raw salmon. This protein inside of the roll was not salmon, or at-least any salmon I have ever come across. He then began stating he could make new ones, and I told him it was fine that I would just eat the Mexican roll. I didn’t want to go through the trouble of making more sushi, especially if what he claimed to be salmon was also just going to be in the new roll. I ate the rest of my Mexican roll and scooted the plate, (also displayed in the pictures) to the edge of the table. Once at checkout I had noticed he was charging me for the uneaten Cookeville rolls and requested to not be charged on the account that I had not eaten any of them and told him I did not want a replacement but just to take them off my bill. He began telling me I had to pay for them even though I had clearly stated I did not want them. He then proceeded to call the cops stating I was refusing to pay for my food. I wanted to pay for my two salads, and Mexican roll just not the Cookeville rolls. Once the police officer showed up, I explained the situation and he reviewed the plate of food still sitting on the booth and began asking the manager/server if there was no policy on food being sent back. The manager/server kept repeating that we must pay for the food even to the officer. I finally realized this situation was going nowhere and knew that this was wasting my own time and the officer on duty. I paid the bill and left with an apology to the officer for wasting his own time with this situation. All in all, be very careful about ordering food from this establishment because if you are unsatisfied with anything you will still be required to pay for it, or they will call the police to try to settle the bill. I was a very proud supporter of this little local restaurant but now I fear I will never return over this untasteful visit. I do apologize for the long description of the situation, but I do feel like the people of Cookeville deserve to be aware of what could also happen to them in this situation.

This little place is amazing. I’m a trucker and I stopped in before grocery shopping. The place was spotlessly clean, the server was attentive, and the food was great. They give you large portions. I recommend the Kobe roll. I also had the chef’s platter which has scallops, shrimp, and lobster. If I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely be stopping by.

Terrible. For the price, I expected far better. Steak and chicken were both chewy, rice was oily and tasteless. The worker (only one there) was good, but it doesn’t make up for it. Spend your money wisely just a couple minutes down the road.

Stopped by while commuting home and craving sushi. The roll was delicious and all the food I ordered was a decent price. I splurged on some edamame, a beef dish and a roll.
The edamame was plain, just needed a bit of salt. The beef dish was perfect as is and came with a large amount of rice as well. The sushi roll was cheap and came out perfect with some ginger.
I can’t understand how they were not busy.
