Find a good place to hangout with friends in Rancho. It’s not busy when we come around 3PM, so we can enjoy the great food and watch soccer game. The Sashimi is so fresh and very high quality, especially the arctic shellfish sweet and crispy. They have a COTTON CANDY machine, many different shapes, so cute. Kids have so much fun.

Place was dead during dinner time. That should have been an indicator. I ordered teriyaki place and paid $2 extra for fried rice vs white rice. The plate came with very small soup and salad. Dressing tasted spoiled. The rice, sautéed vegetables and chicken were so salty I couldnt even eat half of my dinner. I told waitress and they gave me chicken to go. Dont think I will eat it. I was disappointed. Service was just okay.

Such a delicious and great gem in Rancho! Lots of mainstream good choices for hibachi grills around, but this one has a great local flair to it and thus you feel a bit more like family than a customer here. Food was cooked perfectly, the hot tea was spot on, and the dumplings were so freaking good. Definitely worth a try!

Awesome food and great service makes Kobe Japanese House my go to place for Habachi dining. The price is hard to beat for similar restaurants who serve Habachi table dining. The chefs are so entertaining. I've gone here both lunch and dinner many times, and my dining experiences have been consistently positive. Note lunch does cost less compared to dinner, but food portions are still great.

Food was delicious, and perfectly grilled. The kobe beef and soft shell crab was my favorite. Waitress was a bit meh but it was a busy day so that’s ok. It’s fairly small but clean, our cook was nice but the one behind us put on a good show. I actually would visit again, food was superb.

This was a family get-together. Our chef Nat Sopa is incredible and well-known among his many followers. Any reservations made should specifically request Nat for a terrific time.
