    First time coming to this restaurant. I had the Silly Eel Roll and Salmon Nigiri, both of which were amazing! Definitely plan on coming back.

    I booked a reservation for 2 on 7/2/25 at 5:30 pm. I arrived at 5:15 and was told my reservation wasn't until 5:30. I also informed them that I wanted a table and not a seat at the hibachi. I was made to wait until 5:30 even though the table area only had one party of four sitting there. Once seated the server informed us of an added 18% gratuity before even taking our drink order. I should've left then. She disappeared several times after taking our food order and was nowhere in site. Again the table area had only two tables occupied including mine. The prices are way too expensive for the quality of food! The Sushi we ordered was the best part of the meal. They charge $8 for a beer and around $15 for an order of eight pieces of Sushi. We had two orders. The cheapest item on the menu is around $36 for a combo of two proteins. Yes the combos come with soup, rice and noodles. There is a decent amount of food offered but the flavors weren't anything special. My bill was $173 which included the 18% tip. I usually tip over 20% when the food and service dictates it. This was not the case. If I could've left 10% I would've. It should be noted that I did not inquire how much the menu is at the hibachi but was told by a family member it is cheaper. That would not make me return after this experience.

    We have been going to Kobe’s for many years. Over the years we have made amazing friendships with the cooks, servers even previous management. Me and my husband would always request our favorite cook and previous management never had a problem with it and new management didn’t either until these last 3 reservations we’ve made. Last night we made dinner reservations with my grandparents and they wanted our favorite cook since it had been their 1st time being there and we highly recommended our favorite cook. We were told previous to our reservation that getting our favorite cook could be accommodated since we were his first time of his shift. 5 minutes before our reservation Kobe’s calls us and tells me our favorite cook can no longer attend our table because he won’t be available until 6:30 mind you our reservation was at 3:30. This is the 3 time they have done this to us. My recommendation is don’t make Kobe’s cooks and servers your close friends because they won’t let you sit at their table, even though it was accepted before hand. Last night was our last night ever going there.

    I love Kobe and have been coming for years. However, I was very dissatisfied with having to wait close to an hour when I had a reservation and my entire party is 12 was there on time. We were squeezed into a space made for 10 and one of my guest ended up leaving because they were running so late. Kind of out a damper on my annual birthday dinner at Kobe’s.

    Not the experience we were looking for. Cook did not engage with the table. Server was not very attentive to our table. Tip was already added but service did not warrant the tip. May not be visiting Kobe for awhile.

    The service was extremely slow. Our reservation was for 5pm and we were seated promptly. The chef did not come to the table until 5:45pm. We had a bowl of soup and salad for 45 minutes. It also took a long time to get the bill after eating because our server had too many tables to wait on. On the bright side, the food and chef were great.

    Service was slow at first. Cook was very friendly. Food tasted awesome. Filet very tender, shrimp tasty and rice very good. Way too much food. Potatoes rice noodles vegetables was just too overwhelming. Could have done at least without the potatoes. Noodle tasted great but again just too much food and way too expensive for this type of restaurants $210 for four was just over the top. We will come back but will order smaller meals if possible.
