This restaurant was recommended by a friend so I ate here on my birthday. I had an amazing time and the staff went out of their way to ensure it! The service was great and the food was as well. I had the chicken, steak and shrimp Hibachi and my son got the kids steak. The servings were generous and the food delicious! Our chef was very entertaining and talented. I highly recommend Kobe. We'll be back!

Always a good time coming here. The little lady at the front is always so friendly and inviting. We have gotten the same Hibachi Chef the last three times. I would give five stars but our veggies and chicken stayed in the grill a little too long again. Got the Fire Cracker Shrimp. Nothing to exciting there. The little man loved the crispy noodles that come with though. We always enjoy the fresh sushi rolls. Pictured below are the Las Vegas Roll, Volcano Roll, Dynamite Roll and the Roll Tide Roll. For only being 7 our little man loves Sushi!

I really forgot what I ordered but my date and I loved it here. I was kinda nervous about the fire flaming like that on the grill but I’ve been here before several times lol. The food was amazing as usual. I ate majority of my date’s food because I always order the same thing when I come here. Our chef was very cool and entertaining. Loved the atmosphere! Will be back soon!

It was perfect for lunch! It wasn't crowded! Our server was amazing! We got the bento boxes and it was more than enough! We should have shared one!

10/10 Went here recent for my birthday dinner. The food was good, I love the yum yum sauce. The server and cook was great. Our cook is funny & interacted well with the crowd. The only down fall was the people we were sitting by.
