Katie Krenson
The service was well. Everyone was in a great mood. And everyone was so friendly. Our cook, Joel, made this time an amazing experience for our 10 month old. He had so much fun just watching everything Joel was doing. Also Joel was very interactive and made sure we all wanted mushrooms, onions and even green onions in stuff! That was over the top with kindness. Thank you again!

Absolutely loved this place. We came out of town all the way from Indiana. I’ve been to lots of places where they cook in front of you, and let me say, this place really exceeded my expectations. They give you noodles along with potatoes. Our cook Joel was literally so sweet to a little girl, cutting up all the food into little pieces, and interacting with her. He was also so nice to me. Seriously made the whole interaction so fun. Totally recommend this place if you’re a tourist coming for Universal and Disney! So good for kids!

Chef Joel was absolutely amazing! From the moment he started cooking, he had our entire table entertained with his humor and energy. Not only was he funny, but his customer service was top-notch—he made sure everyone felt included and had a great time. The food was cooked to perfection, and the overall experience was fantastic. If you’re dining at Kobe’s, I highly recommend requesting Chef Joel! He truly made our night unforgettable. THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHEF JOEL!!

We dined in with a group of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids). Service was great, the food and sweet tea was delicious. Our chef Tam was wonderful, and very funny. He kept conversations and jokes with everyone at the hibachi table while still keeping the 2 kids in our party entertained. Highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finally had the opportunity to enjoy a dinner at Kobe Steak house. We decided to enjoy table service vs the hibachi this time and it was awesome. Some things to note for your visit. It’s a LOT of food. I enjoyed the veggie delight and with both noodles AND rice, plus the salad and soup, I ended up with lunch for the next day as well. The sushi looks amazing but there just wasn’t enough room to try this time. Plenty of parking but be careful as the lot next door is a paid to park area. Use the free area instead.

First time there and I loved it. Grant was our server and he’s top tier and very engaging. Joel cooked for us and gave us some nice dad jokes and delicious food. Definitely would come back

Kobé was amazing. While not my first experience my chef Joel, and my server Vince and Jason were the points of an extraordinary dinner. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend the holidays and the very special. Thank you for always an amazing experience! Highly recommend to everyone looking for dinner and entertainment.

If you’re lucky enough to have Wee as your table chef at Kobe Steakhouse, you’re in for a real treat! Not only does he cook up some of the best steak you’ll ever have, but he also brings a fun, lively energy to the whole experience. His knife skills are impressive, and the way he interacts with the guests makes the meal feel like a show. The food? Absolutely delicious. The Kobe beef is melt-in-your-mouth good, and the sides (especially the fried rice) are always on point. Wee makes the whole dinner feel special, and you leave feeling like you’ve just had an amazing meal with a friend. Highly recommend!
