Here at "KOBE", we carry on the ancient art of teppanyaki - hibachi style cooking, in authentic Japanese country-inn ambience.
The word "KOBE" suggests to the gourmet the ultimate in the finest beef, raised on delicacies, and gently massaged to perfection.

Watch as we lovingly prepare the most tender steak, the freshest seafood, free-range chicken, and garden fresh vegetables - all before your very eyes in true Japanese style.

    The drinks used to be better and it always depends on how outgoing your chef is. We’ve had better experiences at Kobe, but it was fine, just not great like before.

    The food was decent, but it didn’t quite hit the mark as exceptional. The atmosphere, however, was almost overwhelming. It was so loud that I couldn’t even have a proper conversation with my fiancée sitting right beside me. The tables are packed so tightly together that you end up practically elbow-to-elbow with other diners, which makes it feel cramped and uncomfortable. There also seemed to be a ventilation issue because the overpowering burnt smell from the grills dominated the air. It wasn’t very pleasant and even seemed to affect the taste of the food. The grills and vents looked blackened, which likely contributed to the slightly charred flavor in some dishes. Overall, the experience was just okay. It’s disappointing to say that it’s not as good as it used to be back in the day.

    We always enjoy our Kobe's experience. Food was tasty, chef was entertaining, service was good. Since we went as a group of 10, it's tough to chat with the noise level, we freed up a grill and went across the street for desserts and more visiting.

    The staff was incredibly nice and attentive. The chef was very kind, as well. The food was just ok…for what seems to be a higher end Japanese steakhouse with higher end prices, I expected the food to be excellent. It was below average, unfortunately. The bar area is nice, so if anything you could stop for a drink and enjoy.

    My wife and I have been regulars here over the last 2 years and they are fantastic here. All of the staff greets us every time by name and are very friendly with a smile. The food is always incredible and we usually get a table with good people that are enjoyable to talk to. I would like to thank all the staff. They are truly what makes the experience great.
