Nice location, Away from crowded area.
Fast service, great Wagyu dishes sele tion.
Hangout, enjoy vibe, music and excellent food.
I had Wagyu guda cheese burger. It was delicious, big serving.
Must Try: Fries
Highly Highly Recomended !!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
