    We had a wonderful, late birthday- Mothers Day lunch today. The service was wonderful from our server to our chef, Minh. It was fun, light hearted, just what we needed today. Thanks so much for singing to Mary Ann!

    We love coming here for the food. The food always tastes amazing but the food portions have gotten smaller & the prices have increased. Most of my family always had food to take home in the past but now we never really do.

    We had a 7:00pm reservation and didn't get seated until 8:05pm. In my opinion that is completely unacceptable. What's the purpose of the reservation when you're seating walk-ins before the people who reserved a table? Very poorly run front end, but the food and cooks are always top notch.

    Thank you for your feedback. Due to our unique communal seating arrangement at the Teppanyaki table, our reservations are based on Priority Seating, which will offer you the shortest available wait time when you check in and your party is complete. Our goal is to seat priority seating within a 15 minutes window but sometimes many celebrations stay longer than expected and cause a delay for your party. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

    We waited over 30 min for our table with a reservation. The place was a zoo as it was Mother's Day. Once seated, we felt very rushed with our dinner as they are probably trying to turn over the tables quickly. Service was ok and not very warm since it was so hectic. We will not be going back for Mother's Day in the future. Overall the food was still good.

    We haven't been to Kobe in a while but were pleasantly surprised to see that the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food were as great as ever. We were surprised we could get a reservation on Mother's Day but thank goodness we did. The place was full so it was somewhat loud. But still everyone was having a great time. And did I mention that the food was excellent!!

    No point in making reservations still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. The seating is crowded the service is rushed. The teppanyaki food was good semi entertaining. But as soon as the chef leaves they try to rush you out. Not a good place for celebration or special occasions.
