I went into Kauboi (“Cowboy”) with such high hopes and was genuinely excited to try it. There’s a dress code listed, and we made sure to follow it, but interestingly, some guests were in sweatpants, which felt inconsistent.

It was 58 degrees outside and they had all the doors open. Even though we were seated inside, it was freezing the entire time, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the evening.

To make matters worse, two younger girls were seated about 12 inches away from us, speaking loudly about very personal topics. I could barely hear my husband talking across from me. The atmosphere just didn’t feel comfortable or elevated like I expected.

Food-wise:
• The KFC chicken was actually great.
• My drink was very good.
• The sushi was okay.
• The Wagyu stir fry rice, which came highly recommended, was unfortunately underwhelming and not very good at all.

Overall, I left feeling super disappointed. It won’t be on my list to return, which is a bummer because I really wanted to love it!

Kauboi was the perfect place for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner! It was truly a 10/10 experience. The ambiance is stunning: dim, modern, and such a cool, special-night vibe. Every dish came out beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked.
Our server Lisa truly made the night. Her service was some of the best I’ve ever had — she gave great recommendations, explained everything perfectly, kept the pacing smooth, and even made sure we had enough table space for all the plates we ordered. She made us feel so taken care of.

Overall such a beautiful, delicious, and memorable dinner. We’ll absolutely be back!

If you’re looking for a remarkable dining experience, I highly recommend visiting Kauboi Restaurant, where we had the pleasure of being served by Briana F.

From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set a delightful tone. The elevator ride to the third level felt like the beginning of a special outing, and we were warmly greeted by the host and manager. Upon being seated, we were immediately impressed by the thoughtful design and attention to detail in the decor—every piece of furniture and fixture added to the restaurant’s charm.

Briana quickly became a highlight of our evening. Her warm demeanor and extensive knowledge transformed our dining experience. She expertly guided us through the menu, making tailored recommendations for each course. Her passion for the food was evident as she explained the dishes with enthusiasm, ensuring we felt confident in our choices.

Adding to the experience was Brian, the wine sommelier, who provided professional service by opening our wine at the table and offering valuable insights into our selection.

Overall, the combination of exceptional service, culinary creativity, and impressive wine and cocktail offerings made for a truly memorable evening. Kudos to the entire team at Kauboi, and a heartfelt thank you to Briana and Brian for making our visit so special! Bravo!

We visited for a friend’s birthday. The food comes in shareable portions. Ours came from the kitchen fast and plated well. The wagu rice, KFC chicken and ribs were the table favorites. Most of us could pass on our sushi rolls. Our table was outdoor on the roof….it was too chilly for my liking…so be mindful when making reservations. Suggestion for management- please consider wet naps or steamed napkins.

Kauboi Scottsdale is our new favorite rooftop restaurant in Old Town Scottsdale! The rooftop views are stunning and create the perfect upscale yet relaxed vibe once the sun goes down.

The sushi here is awesome and paired with their craft cocktails, and you’ve got a winning combo. Great ambiance, great food, and an overall elevated experience. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion!

Kauboi at the Remi Hotel is hands down our new favorite spot in Scottsdale! The vibe and ambiance are so unique—modern, stylish, and full of energy without feeling overwhelming. We ordered the wagyu steak, and it was absolutely incredible—melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The sides were just as impressive: the corn, asparagus, edamame, and especially the spicy cucumbers were bursting with flavor.

Our waitress mentioned they offer an outdoor dining experience on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights (not Sundays), and we can’t wait to come back to enjoy that. Between the amazing food, the cool atmosphere, and the overall experience, this new spot is a must-visit in Scottsdale.

We had the Kauboi cut, and it was absolutely outstanding, beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. Everyone agreed that the Kauboi fried chicken and the tempura spicy shrimp were the highlights of the evening. Catherine was exceptional, highly professional, wonderfully attentive, and made each of us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. The entire staff was fantastic and ensured our evening was flawless. The atmosphere, music, and overall vibe were all excellent. We’ll definitely be back soon, and will be sure to request a table in Catherine’s section.

$180 per person to eat on your lap! The food was good but how do they expect you to eat a steak literally on your lap or standing up. When the reservation was made we were told it would be outside and were told it’s an extension of the restaurant. What they failed to mention is that the outside is not a place for dinner, drinks sure, appetizers possibly, dinner NO! They knew we were there for dinner and didn’t make the effort to adjust seating. It was uncomfortable. Mangers walked by and saw us and kept it moving. The food didn’t fit on the coffee table (yes a coffee table). They brought over side tables to help but it still wasn’t enough. When the cowboy steak arrived we all were perplexed as to how they simply expected us to eat this steak. Some of us were literally standing like we were at a bbq because there wasn’t enough seating. Skip this place for dinner, definitely not worth the hype.

We ate on a slower Sunday so Service and food was quick and attentive. I have heard it can be slower on a busy Saturday but can’t personally speak to that

Dishes had great flavor, well portioned and good presentation

Cocktails were solid, a touch on the sweet side, which is probably great for the typical customer in Old town

Only disappointing drink was the mango/miso which was neither.

I went to Kauboi for a night out not really knowing what to expect, every time a new spot opens it usually feels overhyped. But this place… It’s hyped for all the right reasons.

The hostess was welcoming, and the servers were polished, attentive, and friendly (loved our Scottish server) something that feels rare these days. The space itself is absolutely stunning. Every detail feels intentional and elevated. It’s elegant, sexy, and exactly the type of vibe Old Town Scottsdale has been missing. The outdoor area is beyond gorgeous and definitely one of the highlights.

We tried a mix of dishes: the Kauboi salad, bluefin crispy rice, garlic edamame, crispy chicken wings, and a few sushi rolls (Sonora Sunset, Camelback Cactus Roll, and Saguaro Roll). The food leaned a bit salty and definitely felt pricey for the portions, but still tasty overall. At the end of the day, you’re paying for both the atmosphere and the experience, and I’d say it’s worth it.

All in all, Kauboi is setting a new tone for Old Town, and I will absolutely be coming back.
