The food is always consistently good. However, when we come we usually pay cash because for whatever reason even when I leave a tip in cash they always charge a tip to my credit card as well. Always a great place to have a birthday or celebrate a special event though.

Heavily recommend if you’re visiting Lincoln. Food is amazing, and Charlie’s energy was one that definitely brightened my day and I hope it brightened other’s day as well, especially with his humor such as the broccoli catching! Bill, our server, is a polite person as well. Definitely would come back!

Place is awful! Treat you like cattle! Rush you from the moment you sit. Make you sit where they want you to sit then rude if you don’t want to sit there. They just want to go home and and take your money. So rude they include gratuity in there receipts. I’ll never go here again! We liked it at first, but the last 3 times have been terrible. We were missing one person in our party and the lady in the front wasn’t going to sit us until I gave her the most awful stare. It was my birthday we brought a cake, they took it and then brought out there own because they don’t care. Don’t go here if you like to be treated with respect when you spend good money. Go to better places in Lincoln with better service and care about their customers.

3/5 stars is me being generous to be honest. As a Japanese cuisine connoisseur, I was unfortunately disappointed. Maybe hibachi is better than the sushi and bento boxes here? The Diet Coke tasted off, the salad had way too much dressing on it and was watery, the miso soup was too salty, the lobster sushi roll was bland and not up to my standards. The teriyaki chicken was just OK. The vegetable tempura was made sloppily and not cooked up to par. $80 for 2 adult meals and 1 kids meal.. overpriced and absolutely NOT WORTH IT. The restaurant needs a makeover. The wood on the bottom of the booth benches are all scraped up and it doesn’t look nice. If you want amazing Japanese cuisine, I HIGHLY recommend Zakuro in Twelve Bridges, Lincoln they never disappoint! And of course any Mikuni is quality sushi too. Quite a few all you can eat Japanese cuisine restaurants in the Roseville area are quality too.

The term ” teppanyaki” originates from the Japanese words “teppan” meaning iron plate and “yaki” meaning grilled. Teppanyaki cooking became popular in 1940 with the first teppanyaki restaurant in Kobe. This style of cooking became popular for its interactive and entertaining nature, where chefs would perform skillful maneuvers while preparing meals in front of diners.
At Kobe Teppanyaki theatrical aspect is throwing food towards your mouth and squirting sake into your mouth until you can’t hold another drop. I would recommend the hostess ask if the customer is interested in participating in these activities before seating them to a table. Then put a red X on the tab, so the chef knows not to engage the customer in these activities. Because the hibachi chef is very insistent that you do participate. The food is good and freshly prepared in front of your table, but not $24 per person good. There is a service fee of $8 or more on the bill for the “entertainment”. I would recommend looking over your check before paying.

Such huge servings, we were hesitant when we went in it smelled odd but we quickly found out why when our griddle was aflame! Amazing, staff is, awesome chefs are hilarious , sake shots poured in our mouths lol. Don’t come here and skip out on the hibachi side it’s well worth it an awesome experience. Must have two people to order hibachi.

Fun presentation. Food was really good. I had the steak and chicken. Wife had scallops and steak. Both did not disappoint and were cooked perfectly.

Absolutely awful experience. The service completely ruined what could have been a great meal. About five minutes after our food was put on our plates, we were already being handed to-go boxes, with bags shoved in our faces and the check dropped at the exact same time. We barely had a chance to eat, let alone enjoy the experience.
What makes it even worse is that the food itself was actually really good, which makes the terrible service even more disappointing. Every table around us was laughing, having fun, and being given the full hibachi experience, while we were rushed out like we were an inconvenience. The only time we got to have any fun was when we had to specifically ask the chef to toss food into our mouths, something that was happening naturally at other tables without them having to beg for it including the sake bottle pour.
I have never experienced service this bad anywhere, especially at a place that’s supposed to be about entertainment and atmosphere. Great food, but the worst service I’ve ever had. We left feeling rushed, ignored, and completely disappointed.

We were pretty nervous at first because there was hardly anybody there during lunch but the food was very good! Everything was hot & fresh, staff were super kind and patient with our 2 little boys, and the restaurant including the restrooms was very clean.
Portions are LARGE so definitely worth $15-20 per plate!

I have had dinner there seven times. Last night monday 12/29/25 4:30 pm, I took my mother there for dinner. We sat at the restaurant side, which is pretty run down and not as clean as it could be. We ordered ordered sushi and tempura appetizers and split a teriyaki salmon dinner. To our surprise one and a half minutes after being served the appetizers were served, the salmon was served. We had ordered the salmon teriyaki dinner four times previously and expected a similar product. However the salmon was overcooked served on onions that were undercooked with not enough much teriyaki sauce. While eating our appetizers and thinking about what to do about the salmon I caught two tiny pesty flies flying between me and my mother. When we brought to the server and managers attention we received blank stares no apololgy or refire of the dish. Upon our request they tried two more times to to properly caramelize the onions as we were served on previously visits…. they could not do it. We never got an apology. after being pushed the manager gave us 15% off. Better than nothing I guess. The bill was 44 dollars and change. I tried to pay cash, but I was told they could not make 15 dollars in change. Even though we have enjoyed meals at Kobe Teppanyaki before we feel it is to much of a gamble to go back until they clean that plcae up and get their staff in line.
