DON’T HESITATE TO GO! I have eaten @ many Japanese steakhouses over the years, including this one, but never have I been more entertained than by “CHEF BOYARDEE,” a young Caucasian male whose sense of HUMOR & TIMING were impeccable! The food was very good (as usual), the restaurant was clean, the support dining staff & front end staff were friendly, & electronic checkout tableside was fast & easy. Leftovers were boxed & bagged for us. When you go (& YOU SHOULD GO), try a mock cocktail & the eel sashimi! The only drawback I found was the lack of desserts on the menu; there’s just one, & you had better like a chocolate brownie w/ ice-cream. (But, thankfully, the hibachi dinners are HUGE & filling.)

My wife and I have passed this restaurant many times so we decided to stop in and wow, we were not disappointed as soon as we entered. We knew we were in the right place the atmosphere the food and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend this place it’s a little pricey, but the portions oh my God they’re phenomenal. service was great our server Tuan was outstanding. We had a lot of conversations with him. He told us he was from Vietnam and we had a lot in common. He was just an exceptional waiter. He needs a big shout out.

We’ve been wanting to try Kobe Japanese Restaurant for a while now, so we finally got a chance to go there for lunch on Saturday.
We parked in the restaurant parking lot and, the place was really nice and well-designed to match the atmosphere.
We got our table and the server brought us the menus. We looked over the menu and ordered the Firecracker Roll and the Red Dragon Roll. For Hibachi, we got the Regular Chicken Hibachi.
We got our sushi first and it was really well-made and good. Our chef for the hibachi was Sam, and he cooked it right in front of us.The hibachi he made was absolutely delicious, the ingredients were fresh and high quality, and it was just really tasty. The sushi wasn’t quite as good, but the hibachi definitely made up for it.
Kobe’s a really popular spot for Hibachi.

Guapo our server was great! Very attentive and went above and beyond. Our daughter spilled her drink and he replaced it without charging us again. And Rent our chef was very entertaining and knowledgable. It was our first time and we really enjoyed the experience.

Second time going and this time was even better! Our server Chad was cracking multiple dad jokes which I loved, was very easy going, and our chef Boyardee (so sorry if I’m misspelling the name) had a similar vibe. Had a whole LED lights/party segment, made a 67 joke for my youngest sibling using the rice, other little jokes like such during the show. Then up at the front desk once done, Ava kindly helped to take a picture of us. Overall a very vibrant and fun atmosphere!
I’ll attach pictures but know I ate most of my rice, meat, and vegetables to this point. You will be taking food home it is a LOT!
They also offer entrees and sushi, last time I ordered a caterpillar roll which was awesome. For the experience I do recommend just ordering the meat though because you’ll get full quick. Overall, hope to go again!

Service was exceptional! Food was amazing. Our chef Sam had such an amazing presence. He kept the table laughing . Accommodated to everyone’s allergies and last minute modifications and was super kind. Our Server Diego also catered to our table very well. We had a big party and a lot going on but he made the proper adjustments for us and kept the energy light ! Thank you both!

Went there for Christmas. Although it was crowded, the wait was less than 30 minutes. The greeter, servers, cook – all have us superb service. Don’t be frightened by the price, it’s a LOT of food. In fact, I had enough leftovers for 2 meals. I ordered the Kobe Trio! I will be going back again!
