A fun evening for a large or small group. The chef is interactive and entertaining while preparing your favorite selections of meats and veggies. We had 9 in our group and the chef prepared everyone's beef to their specific doneness. Also, we had one person with a shellfish allergy and he was careful and attentive to keep her food prepared separately and before the food with seafood. That was very nice so we all could enjoy our evening meal together. The portions were generous. I had leftovers to take home. The salad with the dressing was very flavorful and crisp. The soup was nice. A good flavor . A fun part was the chef cutting shrimp up and making multiple air tosses into the open mouths of willing participants. The bar drinks were done nicely as well. Very attentive staff to keep the tables clean and organized throughout the meal. It made for a fun and enjoyable evening.

My husband and I came in to celebrate his birthday, the staff was friendly and attentive! Tyler, our chef did an excellent job! He had a fun relateable personality which we really enjoyed, and he engaged us all in conversation. There were children at our table and he made it fun for them as well. We will go back again. We would love to get Tyler again! Thank you Tyler for an unforgettable experience!

Our first visit for my wife's birthday. Would definitely go back. Reservations are highly recommended. Overall experience was excellent. Chef's cooks right in front of you. Tables are grouped together. We were a group of 3. There were 5 other people seated with us. The chef's put in a good show.

Pros: Food, presentation, atmosphere, Personnel Cons: Wait time. Even with a 630 reservation and multiple 630 reservations sat at our table, it took 45 minutes for a chef to be available. The personnel that were there were amazing. Out waitress Tracey and our Chef, Nate had the restaurant on their shoulders! We were there for a birthday dinner and we're growing hungry after the 45 minute wait. Tracey did her best to strategically bring out drinks, soup and salad to ease our appetites. She was a great set up for Nate. Nate was hilarious talented and considerate of the kids. Both of them made up for the wait. I'd return in the future.

First time here and everything was fantastic. They give you soooo much food.

This is an excellent Japanese Steak House. We come here for dates often and have a blast every time. The chefs are entertaining, and the food is delicious. It is pricey, and you sit with strangers (8 to a grill-side table) but the atmosphere and food are well worth it. Prioritize your spouse/significant other and get them to Kobe for a date night!

My wonderful man took me to Kobe. I had the steak and shrimp, he had the chicken and steak. Both were cooked perfectly and the leftovers were delicious. Our cook was from Hawaii and so much fun. My man caught five shrimp out of five and he was so proud of that so that made it super entertaining. Our server was spot-on adding to the experience! Our reservation originally was for late night but call earlier in the day got us in a cancellation spot during prime dinner time. Great time!
