Kobe Japanese Steakhouse - Bruce B Downs

Birthday dinner for my daughter. It’s out tradition. Everyone was nice and Chef Randy was great!

Birthday Tradition 🥳

Our server was a nice but a little too chatty and spilled our waters on the table and splashed us. Our chef Mr Nice Guy was great!! The food was excellent as always.

I was never so horrified as I was with our cook “mr. nice guy”. A man in his 50-60’s should never hit on a 19 year old girl, as he sis with my daughter. When we confronted the management, it was “we will talk with him later”…NOT GOOD ENOUGH…this ghouls have been handled while we were there in his presence…KEEP YOUR DAUGHTERS AND
ANY YOUNG WOMEN AWAY
FROM THIS PLACE…ESPECIALLY “MR NICE GUY”. …and notice his real name was never presented to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All was great except for a loudmouth diner at the table who was critical of the way her filet mignon was presented to her after others were served (they had sirloins so obviously here steak was a more lengthy cooking process).

Great food and service. Mr Nice guy was the best and he made the experience exceptional!! Highly recommended!

Sam was great and helped make my son’s 21st birthday great!

Always fantastic. Would highly recommend for dinner.

Amazing and highly recommended. Food and service were outstanding.

The AC was not working well at this location. The thermostat read 80 degrees and it was hot. When the chefs used the hibachi grills, smoke would fill the room because their vent system can't keep up. We asked the waiter about it and he became defensive and got a manager. It seemed like this is an ongoing issue. It was so hot in the place that it was hard to enjoy each other's company.

They were great, and friendly so I highly recommend them for a nice night

Great place, great food, great chef

Steak was very salty, sushi rolls were not done right. Rolls tasted good but not Sushi at all.

Our chef was awesome. Lemmon was his name. Great performance, personality and cool.

I have been going to this Kobe for years and I was quite disappointed. For one it was extremely warm in the restaurant and you could tell the server and cook were doing everything possible to make the experience as well as possible but you could see that the heat was getting to them (understandably so- Florida heat is no joke) .

A/C was broken. It must have been a 100 degrees in there. 5 of our party of 8 had to go outside to get air. $300 and we barely ate our meals due to the heat in there. We were on vacation and had nowhere to reheat our food, we were leaving the next morning. So although we took our food to go, we couldn’t even eat it. $300 right in the garbage….never again. They should have told us before we sat down that there was no air so we could decide if we still wanted to stay for dinner.

Extremely hot inside. Seated with other unfriendly party

Love Kobe's Steakhouse. Food is always superb. Chef always entertaining. As a family, we celebrate everyone's Birthday with a trip to Kobe's Japanese Steakhouse .

The air conditioning was out I would have loved to know that before I sat and let them cook and heat me up even more. They did provide a 10 discount but it was so hot I couldn’t eat my food the whole meal brought home. Which was like take out which I wouldn’t have had to pay 18% gratuity for

Great place to eat. I would highly reccomend this location.

Fun for the family.

It was rushed - you could tell they just wanted to turn over the tables. Waiter was a little rude and forgot water and a fork after I asked and didn’t come back for awhile. Chef was too soft spoken and wasn’t into his performance. He just went thru the motions without eye contact or banter with the table.

The chef was very nice and talkative… I love it there

This was the worst experience ever . Food was not seasoned properly he only applied garlic butter and Teriyaki sauce I gave them 2 stars because of the drinks this should have been a bar and not a restaurant We requested seasoning for our food several times the chef looked as though he could not be bothered with our request. After spending a $100 (1 person) for that meal I feel like l left my change of $85 . This was a first and a last for me

Great time celebrated my husbands birthday. Would highly recommend.

Ben was a great chef. He was very entertaining. The food he made was delicious and he got our very complicated order right!

We eat there a lot. Last night our experience was so bad we were told we would get a $20 gift card. Big fat lie. We were even told no bags fir take out. Some people should be fired!

This was by far one of the worst experience I’ve ever had at Kobe’s. Drinks from the soda machine tasted of chemicals, the salad we were served was brown (the whole table politely declined the salad and we worth offered fresh salad), the waiter had his fingers all in the soup bowls and he was pouring the soup, the food was burnt and the food portions were significantly less. It will be a while before we go back if we decide to go back.

Even though they ha e increased the prices over the last few years I still think going for the experience & amazing food is worth it..

We went there at 4:30 to take advantage of the Early Bird Specials that Kobe’s has always had. We were told the location on Bruce B Downs location does not participate in the early bird. This information needs to be put on Kobes app and website. Very disappointed.

We have ate at many Japanese steak houses and this was our second visit at your location. The first time we came was perfect!
Last night was not, the food had so much “Garlic “ in it I felt like I was at an Italian restaurant. The chef was not listening to anything anyone had requested such as I requested my steak filet mignon to be medium rare, and it wound up being completely done.
One of the ladies at the table asked him five times not to put the onions in the fried rice while he was putting the eggs in for she could have it like that he ignored it the whole time. And small request I asked not to have any noodles put on my plate when I came back from the restroom I had a whole plate of noodles.. we spent $95 last night for two people which would normally be fine but the food was horrible last night!!!

Terrible it was my girl 1st the soup was water down she didn’t get right experience

Very nice place food was fantastic and alot of fun with the cook

Service was great! I believe the grill was too hot so my rice, noodles, shrimp and lobster we’re all burnt. And there were barely any soy sauce use when cooking the food and you can taste the difference. Also the other guests that were sitting with us asked to hold the container of Yum Yum sauce and it was given to them and they pass it around the entire table. I feel that with Covid going on that shouldn’t have happened because we have no way of knowing if anyone’s hands were clean prior to touching something that the cook is touching the entire time.

Mr Niceguy was a great cook and personality. Food was delicious

Great food and makes for good entertainment Substituted extra vegetables for the noodles. Great decision.

There was not enough rice for the 7 of us so cook went and got more but had given all us very little and then my daughters got the extra which they couldn't even eat while the other 5 of us didn't have enough.

i said no onions and server wrote no veggies at all so then he was going to cook them after the fact. i said no

it was 82* in the dining room and they acted like they couldn't turn the AC down. my daughter had red cheeks and was feeling faint it was so hot.

the salmon had no seasoning no taste. i salted it so it tasted a little better but couldn't even eat. server never even ask.

The ambience and the service was impeccable from the time my party entered the restaurant. The server Jason is an amazing asset to the establishment. He was knowledgeable about the food and the drinks. And the cook was remarkable.

Chef Ichebond was awesome. Waitress was lacking. Slow service, waiting for drinks, appetizers and salads.

The waiter was wonderful. The food was very disappointing. The portion of the rice, noodles and vegetables was very small. My party and I were shocked as we go there often. The noodles were a bit hard as well. My Tuna didn’t taste right and I actually was sick later on in the evening and morning.
