Kings of Kobe is still a solid spot, but things have changed. I used to come mainly for their burgers, which were incredible, but the quality has dropped noticeably over time. They’re still good, just not at the standout level they once were.
That said, the new all-you-can-eat Wagyu steak option is a nice addition. It’s actually quite decent — flavorful, tender, and definitely good value if you’re hungry. The sides and overall atmosphere remain enjoyable, and the service is generally friendly and efficient.
Overall, Kings of Kobe is still worth visiting, especially for the Wagyu experience, but I do hope they bring the burger quality back to what it used to be.

We had the most wonderful Valentine’s dinner tonight at Kings of Kobe!
My husband ordered the 10oz ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes, and it was cooked perfectly — tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I had the salmon with asparagus and coconut rice, and it was just as amazing. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired so well with the coconut rice.
The drinks were also a 10/10 — perfectly made and the perfect touch to our special night.
Everything from the food to the atmosphere made our Valentine’s dinner date as busy parents so special. We’ll definitely be back!

I had one of the most unforgettable dining experiences at this Wagyu Japanese restaurant. From start to finish, everything was executed with perfection.
The pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly balanced between richness and flavor, while the steak was nothing short of spectacular—juicy, buttery, and bursting with umami in every bite. It was, without question, among the very best steaks I’ve ever had.
The real surprise, though, was the truffle fries. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and infused with truffle aroma, they were simply addictive—the best I have ever tried anywhere.
On top of the outstanding food, the presentation and service were equally impressive. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and the staff made sure the whole evening felt special.
If you’re looking for a place where every bite is an experience, this restaurant delivers in every way. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese Wagyu and unforgettable flavors.

I finally got to come here after wanting to come here for ages. We had booked a reservation a few days in advance for the all you can eat waygu but given that there seemed to be a decent amount of available tables when we came in, I imagine that we could’ve got a table without a reservation. The waygu itself was cooked good and around the cook that we wanted (medium rare). The waygu is American waygu, not as famous as Japanese waygu and to my basic and uncultured taste buds, I found the waygu to taste similar to normal steak. For the fries, we opted for all 3 versions; the regular fries, Parmesan truffle fries and onion rings. All three of these were tasty so no complaints in that regard. The two sauces that they gave, butter sauce and chimmichuri, were both good, especially the chimmichuri. My buddies and I came here with the intentions of going through at least 8 rounds of steak but after 5 rounds, we just couldn’t eat anymore. To the restaurant’s credit, they were attentive with the rounds. After we got the first round of steak, it was about 5 minutes later when we were asked if we were ready for the next round. After receiving the second round, it would be about another 5 or so minutes before you were asked about the next round. The service was great, we were constantly getting checked up on and consistently had our water refilled which I loved. Our server was very friendly, although I don’t know his name. Overall, it was a great experience and honestly not a bad deal for the money, especially in Manhattan. Don’t come here expecting Gallaghers level of food and you’ll be more than satisfied. The dress code itself seemed to be casual, sneakers and jeans and such. A lady near me had a winter hat on and I myself had a ball cap on the entire time I was there. I myself appreciate the casual dress code, since normal people don’t like wearing dress shoes/heels when there’s snow and ice on the pavement.

King of Kobe was an amazing experience from start to finish. The quality of the meat, the flavor, and the cooking were all excellent. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was great. Everything felt fresh and well prepared. As soon as your meat arrives, order another round right away — that way the meat comes much faster. Highly recommended!

Great dinning option for the streak lovers. Their unlimited steak for two hours deal is tough to beat and the portions eat round are generous. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff was friendly and attentive.
The steak itself was tender and delicious. They included fries and onion rings with the steak with the option to upgrade to vegetables. Overall a good choice and would recommend.

We recently visited King Kobe Wagyu Kitchen for their all-you-can-eat wagyu experience. The restaurant is located in a pretty rookie site, but don’t let that fool you—once you step inside, the ambiance is surprisingly nice and well put together.
The servers were attentive and friendly throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed. We started with the wagyu, where you can actually choose your preferred level of doneness—a nice touch. The quality of the wagyu was excellent, tender, and flavorful. The all-you-can-eat deal also includes unlimited fries, truffle fries, and onion rings, which were all delicious and freshly made.
We ordered five trays of wagyu in total, and every single one was consistently good. The only downsides were that the water was surprisingly expensive and that they automatically add a 20% tip to the bill, which felt a bit excessive and should have been more clearly communicated.
Overall, if you’re a wagyu lover looking for a great dining experience, King Kobe Wagyu Kitchen delivers on food and service—just be prepared for the extra charges.

Really gotta appreciate the unlimited wagyu deal. First round of steak, incredibly juicy, tender, delicious. Near the end, the beef was just to greasy. At that point the truffle fries tasted better than the meat, but still amazing.

Welcome to Kings of Kobe! Reporting live from Wagyu heaven on Manhattan’s Westside, where Japanese & American Wagyu rule the menu. I linked up with a friend to run through this menu. Here’s what went down…
Here’s what went down:
Tuna Ceviche Tacos – Fresh tuna in crispy wonton shells. Light start before the beef feast.
Wagyu-Yaki Skewers – Melt in your mouth flavor bombs. Quality in every bite.
A5 Ribeye (8oz) – Ribeye is my favorite cut, and this one hit every note. Pure Wagyu magic.
Duke of Lux Burger – Recommended by our waiter. Juicy, rich, one of the best burgers I’ve had.
Filet Mignon (8oz) – Kimmy’s pick. Classic, tender, flawless. I had to steal a piece!
Brownie Explosion – Warm brownie, cookie dough, ice cream. Layers on layers of dessert chaos.
Kings of Kobe even run a $65 unlimited Wagyu steak & fries deal (wild right?!) plus rice bowls if you want to switch it up. The verdict? Kings of Kobe earned that crown. Whether you go steak or burger, you can’t miss!
