Ordered take out and it took around 25 minutes. Everything tasted very good and they were very friendly when we entered the restaurant. I have never had a bad meal whether hibachi or sushi.

Ate here with my brother and his girlfriend while on a business trip here. Had to wait 15 minuets for another group to join us but enjoyed a beer while waiting. Food was pretty good and the other party had kids who seemed to enjoy...the cooking.More

Went for lunch with my husband. He ordered a specialty sushi roll while I ordered the tempura shrimp lunchbox. Both did not disappoint! The lunchbox had large portions and a variety of items, very reasonably priced. The sushi roll was also delicious! Will come back...again soon!More

Food was very good and my parents, my husband and I, and my brother and his wife enjoyed watching our meals prepared at the table. My brother and his wife and my husband and I were more than disappointed they didn't make even a small...deal about it being our parents' 65th anniversary. I told them when I made the reservation, we told the server when she asked if we were celebrating something, and we told the man preparing the meal. We got more of a Congratulations from another patron as he was leaving and must have overheard we were celebrating. We heard employees sing Happy Birthday to at least two other groups so I think they could have done something at our table to make them feel special. Oh, and no sake offered, which I learned later from others who have eaten there.More

This is usually a pleasant experience- it can be a tad bit slow when they are really busy, but let's be honest, when it's good, it's worth the wait! On quiet days your food comes to you pretty fast, and it's always amazing. Their King...Crab Crunchy Roll is perfection! I love the atmosphere! And if you get a chance to experience the grill, it's always a blast!More

I have ordered the exact meal in the booth and at the grill. The grill is consistently better, and I couldn't get a good explanation of why. I just hate sitting through the performance of the chefs and the same jokes. I've been through it...about 8 times. Plus, you have to wait for a full group before the chef even begins. I usually get the filet.More

Arrived early and sat at bar and tested a few rounds of saki. Service with a smile. We were seated to eat on time. Chef was engaging and cooked food expertly. Left very full. Very nice experience, will definitely go back.

We dined here early on Valentine's Day. They had extra decorating and there were roses on all the tables. That made it feel extra special. We had the Orange chicken, Samurai Roll and Tokyo's Gem Roll with Hot Green Tea. All was fantastic and very...filling. Their rolls at the restaurant are much larger than the ones we get delivered to grocery stores in the area. (Wish they were the same size!) Service was delightful - Dudy was our servers name and was very attentive and stopped by often to see if we needed anything. If you haven't been to Kobe's give it a try.More

This is our granddaughter's favorite restaurant in Bismarck. She loves their sushi rolls . They offer quite a choice. We opted for the bento box shrimp tempura and it was very good and very filling. It's a busy place and had a short wait to...be seated. The service was spot on with a very friendly waitress.More
