Customer Review Summary

Kobe Japanese Steakhouse offers a mixed dining experience. Many reviewers praised the chefs, particularly William, for their attentiveness and entertainment skills. The food quality was variable; while some dishes like the fried rice, steak, and filet mignon received high marks, others, such as the deep-fried Philly roll and some sauces, fell short. Portion sizes are considered generous, but guests noted issues with saltiness and inconsistencies in dressing flavors. Customer service was generally praised, though a few felt pressured to order hibachi despite preferences for different meals. Overall, while several enjoyed the food and atmosphere, opinions were divided, with some recommending caution due to varying dish quality.

We really enjoyed William, our chief from MexicoCity. He and the staff there were very carefull to address my wife's food allergies. the meal was great. fried rice was almost perfect and my wife loved the shrimp. the steak was thick cut and cooked to a perfect med rare, and, as you know, that is often hard to find. the onion soup was so good that my wife took mine. but the deep fried Philly roll was not very tasty and alittle under fried and the salid was just ok. again, my wife was very impressed with William and his attention to her food allrrgies. the atmosphere was very well kept with the lighting and decor

This place was absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible and was huge portions. The chef was so funny and very informative, and the rest of the wait staff was on top of everything! Will most definitely be going back!!!!!

Went their for valentines and they did a great job with attentive service and wait staff but the food was not as it used to be. We dinned in. Food was too salty. We ordered the hibachi lunch corse. One of my favorites has always been the famous ginger dressing on the salad but this one was not made correctly. It was too sweet and didn't even have the nice orange color I'm used to. Then the yum yum sauce was also too sweet and did taste right.

Went here to celebrate a birthday and because I don't think over ever been to a habachi grill. Portions are huge, but if you share it will be an extra charge. The chef was very entertaining but the food was okay, very salty , we tried the shrimp, steak, and Chicken. They all tasted the same. I would definitely not eat this on a regular basis. But I can see what draws people in.

The experience was fun and entertaining. The beef was delicious! I could eat that all day along with the ginger salad. The rice, on the other hand, was very disappointing. The appetizer rice was stale and tasted old, and the egg rolls were cold. We returned the appetizer rice, and what they brought back was 10 times better. Thank you. The hibachi rice was very crunchy. The flavor was great, but the texture was off.

I absolutely loved this place so much!!! The server recommended some amazing dishes for my first time coming here. There was nothing that I didn’t enjoy!! I got the ribeye and it was so delicious and juicy, the eagle sushi was the best sushi I’ve ever had, and the starter soup and salad was amazing!! I’m definitely coming back, highly recommend everything was so delicious!!

The hibachi chef was very good and we appriciate that he did extra for the kids, the food was ok but it seemed like the sauces were watered down and "off" not necessarily bad but were just off from the flavors we were expecting. Over all not too bad for what we paid but not exactly what we were expecting

First, this was a fun birthday dinner for our family of 11. This was the first hibachi experience for my niece and nephew and they were blown away. The food was good, the filet mignon was amazing! Our fried rice was a little crunchy. Those that ordered sushi really enjoyed their rolls. The one thing that could have put a damper on the night was being forced into ordering hibachi. I asked when we first got there if they had a table for 11 and we were told they had a hibachi table that could seat up to 15. Nobody said that at least half of us had to order hibachi. I get it, that's why you get the hibachi table. It turned out fine and everyone enjoyed the show and their food, but several people had to change orders. Just know that if less than half of your party wants hibachi, don't sit at a hibachi table. If everyone wants hibachi, this is a good place to enjoy dinner and a show.
