We had a wonderful evening celebrating our anniversary.

Chef Kawasaki is the best!! One of our favorite spots!

ICHIBAN is the best chef ever! Friendly and fun, he even invited me back to his room! More to follow.

Ichiban was fantastic! My daughter had a great time

2 people who only drank water and got a standard menu offering still spent close to $100 I get that it's fancy/high end and the food is good and you won't leave hungry or disappointed but maybe it's just cause I'm a tourist that it seems expensive. Other than the high price tag no complaints

Better than others Japanese steak houses we've tried.

Ichiban was so funny and he was very entertaining!! He made everyone have such a great time and he gave so much extra food to the birthday girl! I definitely will recommend this place.

Hibachi place. Always fun. Great food and the yum yum sauce is the best around. This is what I said in my first review and it still holds true.

Kawasaki and Kenneth were great. Lots of fun.

Asian cutie (chef Ned) and jasmine were the best ever

Very nice presentation. Funny chef. Great food.

Really loved our chef. Asian cutie was his name I believe. He was great! Funny and really made the experience better

Kawasaki was amazing. We’ve been coming to Kobe’s for many years and her was by far our best ever.

Expression In my experience, the food was literally phenomenal like honestly. In a brief of words, when all of me & my immediate family watched the live presentation, it was completely amazing 👏. Our (4yr old) & (2yr old) was just in full excitement due to this was their very first time to such a place that would leave them complete speechless. Their deep joy was just something that I would not ever preciously forget. Also, for the very first time, I had sake & it was delicious truly. The sake I had tried was named "Kobe' Cooler," & the ingredients were re-'freshing blend of house sake & plum wine you got to try it. It was very, again, delicious. After, on taking a sip of their sake, I was very mellow out to admit it! & My night was so smooth. So, would I recommend this place? , of course & would I come back? , of course, to be honest. That is my review to share with google reviews.

Kawasaki and Kenneth were amazing!! Kenneth was very attentive and Kawasaki was awesome and entertaining!!! Best cook I’ve had yet!!

Both Chef Larry and our Waitress Solange were some of the best we have ever encountered coming to Kobe! They are both assets to this restaurant!! Food was spectacular as was the service! Thank you so much!!

Wow, what an incredible dining experience! I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kobe and was blown away by the exceptional service, outstanding food, and warm atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like family, making us feel welcome and taken care of. The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly - a true asset to the restaurant. But the real star of the show was the food. Every dish we ordered was expertly prepared, presented, and devoured! The flavors were bold, the portions generous, and the quality top-notch. We left feeling satisfied, but not stuffed - the perfect balance. Overall, I'm so impressed with Kobe and can't wait to return. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further. This place truly deserves 5 stars - and then some!

Jasmine and stephen slayed so hard
