We had gone to Kobe about five years ago and had good memories. I love a good teppanyaki meal. I probably should have used the $10 off coupon and gotten the filet mignon. We did the early bird and got the steak and chicken. The steak was tough and the chicken too salty, in my opinion (my husband liked the... more

This restaurant is phenomenal. The chefs are the most talented that I've seen, as far as Japanese Steakhouses go, and the food is wonderful. I found that the Kobe had an exciting, vibrant energy and although it was crowded, there was plenty of seating as we only had to wait about ten minutes for a table (party of three.). We... more

We drove past this restaurant and wanted to try it and it took us 20 minutes to finally get back to it. First the location. This is located on a busy intersection of Waikiki. If you're driving, use valet parking. A shopping is behind it and with other restaurants nearby, the place does get a lot of foot traffic. The... more

My wife and I decided to try out Kobe since we were within walking distance from our hotel, and we had a $10 off coupon from one of the local booklets. Its directly behind Benihanas, which we've been to many times back home. Both restaurants run about the same price per entree and have almost identical menu choices. Food wise... more

So, I am a fan of Benihanas, but had never been to Kobe before, probably because I had never been to Hawaii before. We had an entertainment guide coupon, and it was a block from our hotel. We went about 6:15 and were seated right away, had a great meal at a fair price, and the service was good as... more

We just did sushi here. I've had good experiences at other Kobes for sushi...maybe this one isn't related...don't know. Either way, it darn near took away my will to live. Honestly...horrible. Toro was lousy, roll was 3/4 rice (had to take half of it off to make it edible), a shrimp dish tasted disgusting and was overcooked. Honestly, horrible...save yourself! more

The worst service I have ever experienced. The manager could not be more rude! Food was not worth the price...Thank God we had a coupon!...Surprised they accepted that because they sure don't accept Visa gift cards. I will NEVER go to Kobe again. more

I went to Kobe Japanese Steak House in mid July with my Mother. We arrived there around 6:45pm and we were seated immediately at one of the tables located on the second floor. As the chefs do not prepare the food until your table is at least over half full (for the table that we got, there were 8 seats),... more

I visited this restaurant with my mother. We did not make reservations but were seated within 20 minutes on a Friday night. The food was really great, some of the best in my oppinion. The waitress took our orders and served us our drinks and i couldn't get her attention at all after that. I saw her a few times... more
