Kobe Japanese Steakhouse - Bruce B Downs

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.

Sat us at our reservation time promptly, service was good and fast, sushi and food was cooked well. Problem was AC was not working and could not enjoy my sake, soup and food. Thermostat was 82 degrees and sweating bad.

Best hibachi we have ever had!! Spencer’s and randy were amazing!!

Thank you Javier amd momo

Kobe’s is a great group experience. The waiter and chefs are always very nice, always try their best to accommodate you, and very energetic. Our chef did cool tricks and was very entertaining. The steak was great and we got our food cooked exactly how we said we wanted.

Highly upset that we was seated then asked to move because a large party was being added to the table for the group to be vegetarians and causing us who eat meat to have to wait until they were completely served before even starting our food. All of my food vegetables, rice, noodles were soooooo cold by the time the meat was prepared there and our portions of vegetables were small because it was given to the vegans as if the rest of the table didn’t eat vegetables. There was no attempt to keep our food warm while we waited which affected the overall taste. If known vegetarians are being served they shouldn’t be place with people who aren’t because it affects the overall experience.

I used to love going to Kobes every chance we got, but its been the second time now that it seems servings sizes have decreased. This place is expensive and before i had no issues paying the prices because the food amount was good but I will not be returning anymore.

It's a typical Japanese Steakhouse. Above average food quality, ok service due to the servers having too many tables to attend to, and fairly expensive for what you receive.

Randy and Javier were amazing. Will definitely come back in the near future

It was great

Or chef was awesome. Kept the kids engaged.

Sam was great, he cooked some pretty good food and was funny

The server was pre occupied and could not remember orders, when asked for a refill on soda he would not come back for many minutes if at all we ended up asking other servers for refills, maybe it was an off night for him but not getting orders correct and waiting on drink refills does not make an 18% tip mandatory, the cook however was spot on

Excellent food and service! Sushi and teppanyaki was great!

Great food! Great service!! Fun show while your food is cooking!! It is a bit expensive, but the food quality is superb. The ambiance is fun also, everyone dresses the part, Hostess, cooks, etc... all wear costumes for the complete experience.

Overall a nice dining experience. Bruce B Downs location is a great place!

Great time with cool Lam, our daughter’s birthday was a success. Thank you!

Birthday celebration

Excellent service and food was above awesome ! I will be back soon

Food, chef, and server was great. The prices have gone up and the value for the money is poor. Our table mates didn't get any vegetables but they still got charged for them in addition to a charge for no rice extra noodles. They do handle food allergies really well.

Birthday and was wonderful

We hadn’t been to this restaurant in 1 1/2 years because of Covid. It was wonderful, food excellent. The changes in recipes was phenomenal.

Great show, food, and atmosphere. The kids loved watching the food being prepared. I would definitely recommend.

Always a great time at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. We went for my son's birthday and everyone had a blast. Our server was great and our chef was amazing! The birthday thing is always a great time!

The food was good but our cook Mr Nice Guy (I think that was his name) refused to give us Ginger sauce, there was four of us and all us asked him 4 times. We have never had this happen at Kobe. We asked 4 times and he ignored us and refused to give us any ginger sauce. Very surprised at this attitude. The young man that took our orders was excellent

We will not return to Kobe on Bruce B Downs.

My wife and I always go to the Clearwater location but since we where in the area we decided to go to this location..Our server seemed rude or just wanted to turn another table .when other guest would ask a question he acted like we where brothering Him... Also The rice you serve seemed better at your Clearwater location....Just a total different vibe all the way around ..We won't use this location again !!!!

They would have gotten 5 stars across the board however the Chef "Mister Nice Guy" from the time he walked up to the table repeated, "I need 5 dollars" over and over again. The result is that two members of my party were guilt-ed into giving him an extra 5 dollars. This was for a party of 7 and I was more than happy to pay the 18% automatic gratuity. If he wasn't so rude like a panhandler he would have received 25% from me. I love Kobe they are great the food is great. This Chef was not.

Food was delicious and our chef, Sam was fantastic!

Always great! Good food, service and entertainment… I especially love the cucumber martini…

Excellent!!!

Great Father’s Day dinner with the kids!

Chef Mr. Nice guy was amazing, funny n energetic and he included everyone at the table in his jokes.

Mr. Nice Guy was an amazing chef. This is always a family favorite!

Our server was nice and very attentive. Our chef was good but the food was very watery and at the end he was very pushy about getting a tip and getting a 5 star Google review.
