We had a reservation for 7pm and showed up exactly on time. Our friends were running a few minutes late. The hostess said she would not seat us and we would have to wait at the unattended bar until our friends arrived, and if they did not arrive within 15 mins we would all lose our table - even though...

Food there was good, but it's not for the light in the wallet. That's why I've been well over a year in going. For me, it must be a special occassion to go there. And that's only been once.

This place was fine when Japanese Steak Houses first hit the scene...they are surpassed by so many other "better" options available. It's too trendy and the food has not kept up with the more discerning tastes of todays diners.

Our group really enjoyed our time and our meal. Only two "issues". The wait before the chef came out was very long (and business was slow that night), and the food, while plentiful, was not quite the level of a Benihanas. Will definitely return next year!

Love the Menu Choices and Sushi. While the menu and fare is standard, I do like that the staff that goes the extra mile to make the experience better.

We have been to this Kobe repeatedly. The food is consistent. I like the salad dressing which has peanut as an ingredient. Good show put on by the cooks. Great for small groups.

Staff seems distant and not as welcoming as you would expect in this type of place. Have always had great chefs.

The service was not that great. The waitress seemed "put out" whenever we asked for anything and I spent most of my dinner without a drank. The food was OK but not great. The Hibachi chef was entertaining.

When I want Chef entertainment with my food, we head to the Kobe. Typical Teppanyaki, good Sushi, nice bar in a very nice part of town. The atmosphere is congenial & the diners festive.
