Another fantastic meal prepared and served by the very talented sushi chef Jasper! The food is always fresh and delicious, service by Lindy is warm, friendly, and fast, and being able to sit at the counter while Sam and Jasper make your dinner in front of you is always a treat. Prices are very good, portions are generous, and the welcoming staff will definitely make you feel like coming back.

Delicious food. We got the sake house for two, it was around $40-$50 in total. So typically we’d go to another hibachi place and we’d spend around $100 in total. But here we were able to get a deal, still bring leftovers home and get drinks within a budget. Really friendly people, great service.

The food is great. I love the cucumber sushi rolls and the chicken tempura rolls. The chicken hibachi is also really good. Don't forget the yum yum sauce! This is my favorite spot for both. The service is okay. It's a cute little restaurant, so I would say the atmosphere is great. I definitely recommend eating here.

Visiting the area and was looking for Sushi for dinner. Found that they were close by. After I arrived I asked for suggestions for rolls with Salmon. After ordering the suggestions I got it to-go and headed back to my hotel to eat. I was VERY happy with the rolls. The Salmon was fresh and delicious. The staff was very nice.

The cook had all of the food on the grill at the same time. Red raw meat, raw chicken and raw seafood all touching next to the noodles and vegetables. I have never been to a hibachi grill that they didn’t cook the rice first, then the noodles, vegetables and then the meat with cleaning the grill each time. He never cleaned the grill and we are done and it’s still not cleaned. We all will always take our leftovers home but NONE of us are because we are all afraid of getting sick. We will NEVER be back here…we go to Kobe’s a lot but will not come back to this one.

We are snowbirds but absolutely love Kobe’s Hibachi. We usually go biweekly the food is amazing, really delicious. You can’t beat the prices you get an unbelievable amount of food for$20-$50 The $50 would be seafood including lobster which is still the best price around for lobster. The staff is incredibly friendly, I highly recommend Kobe’s.
