Kobe Japanese Steakhouse - Tampa

We went for a birthday celebration and had not been in at least 10 years. The food was salty but good (which was expected). The veggies and meat both fresh and entertainingly made. We were surprised that there were both vegetarian and vegan entrees offered. The kids had an absolute blast and were in awe of the chef John's skills. The waitstaff was very attentive and the chef didn't disappoint. We'll definitely be back.

We got there 15 minutes before our reservation and we got a table right away. Drinks from the bar were served with little wait time and soda refills, almost immediately. Our chef was Amazing! Great tricks and had us engaged the entire time. Food was delicious! We visit this place at least every 3-4 months. The kids loooove Kobe's!

Had reservations at 5:00 pm. Asked to put my reservations on hold another 20 minutes for the rest of our party. No problem, seated just before the next 5:30 reservations were coming in. Sat at the bar waiting for my party. Great atmosphere. Good drink & appetizer deals. I'll be back for just the happy hour in the very near future. Great customer service from all the employees I came across. Love the place. So professional & fun.

Our 8 yr old daughter wanted to have her birthday dinner at Kobe’s. Our chef Papa John was great & the food was delicious! We had an awesome experience!!

The food was not good the chef was not good overall nothing was good

Was a great time I am going to continue to go entrainment was excellent

It is a good show place...our chef Stephen did a wonderful job and save the night for us; food is standard but if you are as lucky as we were with the Chef will be lots of fun.
Big headache after dinner .. probably MSG main trigger of my migraines

We were at Kobe for a birthday dinner. We had our own table and had a great time. Very entertaining and the staff was great!

Chef was awesome!!

We had a wonderful experience! Everyone was pleasant and entertaining! I think we were charged for something we did not order but hey it happens. I think the cupcake for birthday’s is a little underwhelming. I think if you have a 190.00 bill for 4 it should be a little better presentation other than cupcake.

Our server Cody and the Cook was amazing. The birthday celebration was a success!!!! Thank you for never disappointing!

Great, favorite restaurant

Wayne is the BEST chef! Always fun, upbeat, and a great entertainer. The Filet was delicious...along with the rice. The veggies could be a little softer...but still tasted "yummy yummy". Always a fun time and tasty food.

Taylor was our chef and he was amazing. All of the people involved were so nice and friendly.
We celebrated Uncle Frank's 91st birthday and also his first time at Kobes. HE HAD A BLAST AND IS READY TO GO BACK!

Fun, good food we will go again. A lot of food, good taste. A little expensive, but good.

I had priority seating for 9pm on Saturday I got there around 8:47 I was sat down quickly but waited for a chef for an hour to come cook at our table. The wait was insane. I Had my four year old with me towards the end he was laying down on my lap. Also I was never asked if I wanted a refill or anything. Everyone at our table kept wondering why it wa staking so long

As always, we had a fabulous time at Kobe's. The food was delicious and our chef was entertaining. We wondering why Kobe's is not offered early bird discounts any longer. We had a 5:30 reservation but no early bird pricing was on the menu.

Food and service was excellent.

I downloaded the app and secured a reservation for 14 people weeks ahead of time. When we arrived they told us that they could not accommodate my party and we would need to sit at two separate tables. I wish we were told that ahead of time. I would have choose a restaurant where I could have enjoyed my birthday with all my children at the same table. We ate at different times and finished at different times.

Vyvy and Ichiban was awesome. Good food.

Great show, fabulous food! Is a really entertaining laugh full experience and the food is delicious. what else cal you ask for? Perfect for celebrations enjoyed celebrating my son's 21st Birthday with a party of 20

Our cook John was AMAZING. He was engaged with the table the whole time. This was my best hibachi experience. If I’m ever in the area I would come back and ask for John.

Ljohn and vy vy were great

Waiter was personable and very attentive to the desires of our group. We totally enjoyed ourselves. We love Kobes for special occasions. We had 2 birthdays.

We go to Kobe’s like 3 times a year! Chef Tyrone is the best!!!!

You guys need to go back to the garlic butter you was using. Food is horrible now!

Yummy food, fun atmosphere and good pricing. Will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a great time love Kobe Japanese steakhouse. Great food and great Chefs

Anniversary

We were taken right as we arrived and served promptly. Chef was very entertaining and we got some fun birthday bantering going on between our table and the one across from us. Hope we can get these same chefs again.

Our chef Tyrone was excellent. The best we ever had at Kobe. Our server was also the best. Didn't have to ask for refills or anything. She was there watching. Excellent. Don't remember her name but she was originally from Hawaii.

Great time and great food. Great value for the amount of food they serve.

We had a 5:30pm reservation but had to wait until 6:05pm to be served. Was NOT busy but understaffed I'm presuming. Waiter was slow and we had to get up numerous times for extra napkins; refill drinks and get our bill.

Tyler was terrific! The best ever!!! He was very accommodating with everyone’s requests.

Always a great time! We keep going back year after year. Good food !

While the food tasted great & our cook was amazing, everyone ended up sick from the food.

Our chef, I think his name was John, was the best I’ve had. He was friendly, the food was awesome and he even cut my children’s food smaller before giving it to them!

Grandson was disappointed because I told him they put on a good show. The guy hardly talked

Always a pleasure to go to Kobe's. The birthday special keeps us coming back yearly. Food, atmosphere, entertainment (chef) all outstanding.

Great service and open table was so easy thank you
