I like this place! Been coming here for years. Chefs are fun and servers are friendly. Good food and great price. Try it.

Late night option with me and a date turned into a great experience thanks to Connor McLeod (there can be only one.) The teriyaki chicken and steak was cooked perfectly as well was the rice and vegetables. We will definitely be back for more, thanks for the great experience Connor.

Went there for my husband's birthday because he wanted to try tepan. We'll never go back. Food was OK but not great, our server's attitude was lackluster/disinterested and the show was..meh. I'm mostly irritated at management's lack of concern. A bottle of gluten-free soy bottle costs $3.50 and they couldn't be bothered to have some on hand? I got served a bowl of plain lettuce because they had no gluten-free salad dressing (with the stuff they had on hand, they could have easily whipped up a quick substitute.) Next time, we will go to Y.C's Mongolian Grill. Better value, they are very good about diners with food allergies and they're much friendlier.

Was here as part of an 8-person party for the Teppan grill. Connor, our chef, was hilarious and did all the right tricks and cooked our food to perfection. The bill wasn't as much as I was expecting, which was nice. Would definitely recommend Kobe and come back.

The food is amazing and I love the sake shots, but when you make a reservation for 7:30 and at 8 pm you're still sitting at table with no food.....kind of disappointing. The hostess' were less than helpful, and had very poor customer service.

We have been here several times, but it has been at least a year since our last visit. We had a fantastic time! Our chef was Taylor, and he was absolutely wonderful . He kept us entertained and provided a great show. There were two young children at the table and he was appropriate to for their ages as well. I ordered steak and my husband had the chicken. I also ordered one sushi roll . Overall it was a great experience. Taylor was by far the best chef/entertainer we've had at Kobe. I would definitely ask for his table again.

I came here with a group of friends on a saturday night for one of our dear friends birthday. The staff was nice and our chef Jose was entertaining. He took time to ensure that our group was having fun. I ordered ordered the new York steak which was tender and cooked to medium rare as requested. I would definitely come back for the food and Jose's cooking.

We love this place! Great staff , excellent service and yummy food cooked right at your table. This is a much better option than Benihana. The chef's always put on a good show, and have lots of fun with the guests at the table. Also if you like sushi, it is some of the best in the Valley! Additionally they have a very generous happy hour everyday until 7pm.

Sushi is good, lunch service is really slow, almost became my own server saw my food waiting on a counter. Seems nice but dirty plates on the tables.

Great tasting nigiri and loved both the (spicy) San Diego and Rainbow rolls. Stopped by for lunch on a Sunday and was pleasantly surprised as the place looked deserted. Nice service and high quality fish. Will return next time in town! Thank you for the wonderful experience

Worst restaurant experience I've ever had. We waited about 10 minutes for a waitress to even come to our table and it was only because we called her over. Ordered some drinks and put in an order for 4 sushi rolls. My water had a giant piece of cabbage or something in it so I had to send it back. We then proceeded to wait for over an hour for our sushi. Decided it wasn't even worth the wait so we paid for our drinks and left extremely hungry. Went down the street to Sakana sushi and was in and out in less time than we spent at kobe. The service was a hundred times better and the food was delicious! I will NEVER go back to Kobe. I can't believe this place is even still in business.

Went here with some friends after an ASU Graduation Ceremony and it was dead. Service was alright and our chef was nice but wasn't very engaging. The chicken fried rice was the best I have ever had from a teppenyaki style restaurant. The steak on the other hand was not cooked to liking.

Went here for my daughter's 16th birthday on a Sunday afternoon, and had a great time. The show was entertaining, and the food was (mostly) delicious. We didn't have to share a table, because there was only one other family there at the time, and they were given their own table. My daughter and I ordered the lemonade, and it was so good. She had elderberry (which almost had a sweet tart taste to it),and mine was strawberry (which was a bit on the sweet side, but I like that). My family did not enjoy the miso soup. They found it too salty. I ate it, but it wasn't my favorite. Besides the miso soup, the only other thing we didn't like was that the restaurant was so dark. This was in the middle of the day, and it felt almost dungeon-like. My daughter and I had shrimp with japanese noodles and it was delish! There was a good amount of plump shrimp. My husband ordered the chicken, and had it with teriyaki sauce, which he said was outstanding. My son had the new york strip steak with soy sauce, and he said he loved it. The veggies were cooked the way we like, crisp tender. We also enjoyed the chicken fried rice. I like that they give the lunch price at lunchtime on Sunday, as many places charge dinner prices all day on the weekends. It was very reasonable.

As always, the food at Kobe is excellent. As always, the service is the worst. We ordered sushi appetizers. Mine came out immediately. My husband's came out 20 minutes later, right after the salad. We then got the soup (same time as the salad - I hate that) and the entree was prepared soon after. Thankfully we went in early because of show tickets. So we had time before the entree was prepared. Usually, we get all the food at once and often out of order. Kobe - you need to invest in training your staff about timing.

Another Lunch Review, at least I tried to Lunch here. I was in the mood for sushi and Kobe is right across the street from my office so I figured I could walk and get to go in my 30 min lunch break Sushi for lunch and I don't have to get in my hot car? Score! Here's where things fail. They don't open for lunch until 11:30, I arrived at 11. Who doesn't open for lunch until 11:30?! Especially with multiple business complexes in the area (think Insight, Honeywell, U of Phoenix, Express Scripts) and hungry workers. Walked back to my car and went to Sakana down the street which is what I should have done in the first place.

Benihana who!? If you're looking for a fun time & you're with a large group this is the perfect outing! I've been here twice with large groups & have had a great, enjoyable, experience both times! Starting with food, this is your standard teppanyaki place. They have a good sized menu, including sushi, but the teppanyaki really makes the experience. Their teppan chefs are always super friendly, funny, & creative.. & the thing that sets this place apart from others I've been-- they will squirt straight sake shots into your mouth. Portions are good, service is fast, & all the staff is very welcoming. I will continue to recommend Kobes over any teppan place in the valley!

For a grumbling stomach I had to try Kobe as I have driven by it several times. I would say it's an average pick but of course that could be my first time around and partly because the choices I made were of the ordinary. For a Tuesday night the restaurant was not too bad but the Sushi bar was empty. Which is where we sat. They do have teppanyaki tables for the all fun entertainment. We were seated quickly since there wasn't much of a crowd. Beverages were given within the first few minutes. Ordering took a bit longer than I would have expected. They have a sushi menu that you mark with a dry erase marker and then a full menu. Picks of my night: - pickled cucumber slices with sprinkled sesame seeds with your ginger and wasabi. Free with your sushi order. - 2 choice sashimi: yellowtail (hamachi) and salmon (sake) with 3 pieces each for a total of $14. Ehh not my kinda price for slices that could be a bit thicker. Taste was Normal as can be. - Alaska roll: California roll (for you all that are not so adventurous) with salmon on top. This wasn't anything out of the ordinary. $8.50 - chicken udon stir fry: a well-cooked plate. Smells resonated within a nose distance! I'd say if you're looking for a hot plate this would be it. Seasoned cubed chicken, thin julienned carrots, scallions, all mixed in the thick rice udon noodle. The dinner plate was a bit small for a dinner portion. $9 Overall: decent food for Japanese restaurant.

Bit pricey. Wish I would have stuck with sashimi. Shrimp tempura was fried so my tummy has been upset. My fault not there's.... Now I know!!

I have seen this place when I passed by going to work, and decided to give it a go. I had taken my wife here for dinner along with a few friends. I can definitely say this is a great spot for groups. You get your own personal chef and the staff is great. I've always wanted to eat at a sushi place where they cook the food in front of you. I was afraid I would eventually get bored watching the chef prepare our meal, however he kept our interest making jokes, interacting, and doing food and knife tricks. I highly recommend this restaurant. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you can't be seated until everyone in your group is present.

First time here, i was really excited for the experience..... but fail. I came here for a birthday party. Party of 9. Everybody was there on time and of course 15 minutes late even though we had a reservation... It took 20 minutes to get our drinks. Another 20 minutes to get my two order of sushi. I had to get up and ask for hot water and low sodium soy sauce. The server didn't seem to care for her job really. She took her time for everything. Conner.. he was a great chef! Showing his skills at the table and entertaining us with his jokes. He was phenomenal!!!

Kobe's become one of our favorite sushi hang outs in Ahwatukee. Happy hour specials are really good and six dollar sake bombers are the bomb. We have a spot we always sit in at the sushi bar and we always have the same couple of waitresses. They are knowledgeable, fast and very courteous. They have a Teppan-Yaki area that we have never gone to yet but appears to be very popular! Have a great birthday song. If you're looking for a local happy hour that's good definitely hit up Kobe.

Mo B.

Even though I went there with a group of my gal pals, I couldn't help thinking that Kobe is a great place for first dates. Or a large group of at least eight...it gets awkward sitting with perfect strangers. Four of our eight were no shows, so we ended up sharing. And they won't seat you until your entire party is present either. Anyway, the place is entertaining and quaint at the same time. While I may not be running back soon, it's a definite spot to check off your dining-out experience list. The food and drinks were done well but not enough for my taste buds to scream senselessly about.

This place is all about what they cannot do or will do and if they do what you ask they will charge you. I asked for two California Rolls one with no cucumber. When it was brought to the waiter's attention, the waiter took the roll back to the person who made sushi. His resolve was to throw some cucumber on the plate and advise us if we wanted cucumber in the roll we would now have to place it there ourselves even though it was his mistake. During the time at another table a lady ordered a second dish which came with salad. She already had salad and wanted soup. She was told there was no button to subsitute the salad so he would have to charge her for the soup. He then told her on the bright side, the salad she was now getting had a different salad dressing than the previous one she had eaten. Funny how I ordered the tempura and there was a button to charge for teriyaki sauce but no substitution. It was an add on. After getting tired of them telling us and other tables what they could not do, or would not serve, I cancelled the order and left. I remember visiting this place a previous time vowing I would never go back because of the lack of service and making dishes with condiments I wanted or being charged for substitution or straight out refusals to make an item my way. I will NOT be returning to this dump ever again. It is not the staff but someone who has trained them to make no changes or substitutions without charging or at all. It is really sad cause the atmosphere is nice but the service really sucks at this place, Do not patronize this type of behavior cause I know I am not going to.

Have been a few times and always get lucky enough to have the same tappan chef. I can't recall his name but he is an older chef that has been there for years. He is a great personality and always makes his tables have a good time. Not to mention the food is always delicious!! The filets will melt in your mouth. We have never had the sushi, but that side of the restaurant is always full!! Unlike a chain Benihana, the food is always fantastic!!

I've been going here with my two best friends for several years now. We always sit at the sushi bar and we always love what we get. The only times I haven't enjoyed this place as much is when I sat at a table and had to deal with the regular waitstaff. So I highly recommend (if your group is small enough, or you're on your own) that you sit at the sushi bar. My favorite roll here is called the Sunshine roll. It has a bright, light flavor that I have never found anywhere else. The salmon plus lemon is a perfect combination that makes me wonder why no other sushi restaurant has thought of it. If you're into something spicy, try their version of the Las Vegas roll (it's my second favorite). The fresh jalapeno and dot of Sriracha takes this roll from great to f****** amazing. Frankly, there is something to be said for a place that consistently puts out the same amazing product without ever slipping in quality. For that alone this place should be recommended. Though fair warning: this place is not cheap. There are cheaper sushi restaurants in Tempe/Mesa/Chandler but I guarantee that none of them taste better than this place. So if you're willing to lay $10+ down per roll, come here.

I love this restaurant, I come here often for work events and for lunch: their service is excellent and friendly, the food is delicious and the price is always right. This place is as good, or better, than the other well known Teppan place over by Chandler Fashion Square Mall. This last May, I needed a place for my daughter's high school graduation dinner for the whole extended family at 4 PM. Unfortunately, the 4 PM time was not-negotiable since my daughter had to be at her high school and ready to walk in the ceremony at 6:15 sharp. When I explained my quandary to the restaurant, not only did they offer to open a half hour early just for our dinner party, but they were accommodating in every other way and the service and food was stellar. My dinner guests all raved about how good their food was afterwards. Thank you, Kobe!

So we made reservations at Kobe for a Saturday night and the event that we were at prior went a little longer than expected. We went ahead and called Kobe and they were extremely friendly and let us keep our reservation and just pushed it back thirty minutes which was great. When seated at the table I was with a party of four including myself and the rest of the table was another party of four and a party of two. You're given a server as well as the cook. The server was kind but seemed all over the place and very confused the entire night. This only got worse as the dinner went on. The cook was great, cooked the food entertainingly, and had a great personality while doing it. As we were seated right away she asked us what we wanted to drink which to me is fine because I was just going to get my go to which is lemonade, for I believe fifty cents extra you can get a flavor lemonade so I got the strawberry which was a little to sweet for me. One of the people that was in my party asked if they had a certain kind of wine and the server seemed to have no idea what so ever which is fine but like I said earlier she just really didn't seem like she was mentally present at all. We didn't get any appetizers because your meal comes with a salad, miso soup, rice and a Shrimp appetizer. By the time I get to my meal I'm already having to undo a button on my pants! So whoever said its not a lot of food is crazy! The salad: First things first, the dressing on this salad is to die for. I believe it's some sort of ginger dressing but it's delicious. Salad as a whole though, ehhh. They sort of only put dressing on the top and the bowl is kind of small so it's hard to mix in the dressing so the lettuce on the bottom gets none. I ended up only eating the lettuce on top. Which is fine, I needed the stomach room for my food anyways! The Soup: I love miso soup. And theirs was good. The rice: For about two dollars extra you can upgrade to chicken fried rice instead of just steamed rice. Upgraded, it's worth the extra cost! They throw eggs and chicken in the rice and it's absolutely delicious. Shrimp Appetizer: Its just three pieces of shrimp which are delicious but I'm not sure I would call it a appetizer. Next was the actual dinner! I was really feeling seafood so I got what I believe is called the seafood delight, it comes with shrimp, scallops, and lobster. It was absolutely delicious. Then two other people in my party got the filet mignon and lobster tail combo, and the last person got sword fish. Tried the sword fish and it was cooked really well and had a good flavor, and tried the filet mignon and he cooked them absolutely perfect. When it came to splitting checks and paying it was a complete mess for the entire table. The server had to go back and resolution them and fix them twice because it was done wrong and it felt as if it took forever. Meanwhile the whole dinner the waitress was nowhere to be seen. I really wanted a water so I had to flag her down which I hate doing. For one of the brief moments she was at our table she dropped an entire full cup of water on a lady across the table from me and it was completely all over her and the glass actually ended up in her purse spilling the rest. YIKES. Needless to say, she looked like she went swimming. I felt bad for the server of course, I work in a restaurant too, it happens to the best of us. But she didn't say she was sorry or anything which kind of surprised me. At the end of the meal the couple ended up getting extremely upset because they never got an apology, no manager ever came by to say anything, and their bill despite everything remained the same. They then asked to see a manager to say something about it and the manager herself said that they don't control their staff and can't control what they mess up on so they can't be held liable...YIKES TIMES TWO. What do you mean you can't be held liable, they're your staff at your restaurant??? They just didn't want to give any discount or anything. This horrible level of customer service really bothered me. Over all the food great! Service ehh, not so great. For about the same price I have had better experiences at Benihana.

My husband and I came here for dinner on Valentine's Day. The place was packed , but I'm pretty sure every where else too. Thank goodness my husband had made prior reservations earlier that week because they weren't doing any walk-ins. To start, we ordered white fish and salmon sushimi and the Las Vegas roll. I don't like raw fish, but my husband does and he said the sushimis were good. The Las Vegas roll ... Let's just say I've had better. Don't think I'll be ordering that there anymore. For our teppanaki meal, I ordered the New York steak and chicken and my husband had the New York steak and shrimp. We were also served miso soup, salad with ginger dressing and also shrimp appetizer. Our chef was funny and very talkative. That was a good thing because we were sitting with 8 other people who we didn't know, so he broke the ice because afterwards we all started talking, which was nice. Our total bill was $110 not including tip, but I thought it was well worth it. I'd come back again for sure.

This place was so good. My bf said it was comparable to Benihana (which I've never been to). We did the teppanyaki. I had chicken and shrimp and my boyfriend had the seafood delight. Drinks- a large beer was only $6.75. However, the happy hour prices are around the whole restaurant MINUS the teppanyaki. Food- miso was good. Salad was okay. I prefer thicker peanut dressing. The main course was amazing! A lot of flavor. One negative was they gave you ginger sauce and mustard but no shrimp sauce. Service- the chef was so funny. He squirted saki in my bfs mouth twice. I appreciated how he checked in to see if anyone was a vegetarian. The show was great. We did Not have a lot of interaction with the waitress. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try teppanyaki.

Food was great, really delicious. And some of the best sushi I have had thus far in Tempe. Atmosphere was also great. Service was, eh. We called ahead of time to see if they can do brown rice on their sushi. They said yes. So we go in and when we order it they say, no they don't. According to them it's something with the way the brown rice is made, the texture isn't right for sushi. Well then how bout you tell that to the several restaurants I've been to that DO make sushi with brown rice. What a load of crock. Food (if you don't want brown rice) was great. But the service was lacking; kinda like they didn't have much clue to what they are doing.

Went for our 9th anniversary dinner. My date and I both ordered the Kobe steak and shrimp. The meal was fantastic. I have been to Japan and had real Wagyu and I can say that this is a fairly close American substitute. The atmosphere was great. Waitress was prompt and courteous. Cook was fun and entertaining with tabletop tricks. Would definitely go back. Great date place.

Came here for my niece's birthday and we had Alan as our chef. Alan was the most entertaining teppanyaki chef I have ever had, and probably cooked the best teppanyaki I've ever had, too. We had a large group and our waitress was very attentive with refills and there was no confusion at all with everyone's order. The food was excellent, and definitely large portions. Like everyone else says, fork over the extra $2 for the fried rice.

Tim K.

A fun place to dine with friends. Our chef Allen was loads of fun, even though there seems to be a standard of stunts the chefs do, he was entertaining. While he had good skills, the diners did not, we went 0 for 6 in being able to catch foods in our mouth when tossed by the chef. The floor sweepers probably loved us. Food was very good and plenty of it and Allen did a great job of preparing.

My family of four came here on a Thursday night and we had a great time at the teppan table! Not cheap, but I thought it was a good amount of food and quality for the price. The table show was awesome. My only complaint was that the wait staff was slow to refill beverages and bring the bill.

Where do I start? So tonight is my birthday and me and some friends went to Kobe for a fun filled dinner before we began our night, well that was ruined with this experience. The dinner started off by not getting a chef to our table for over 45 minutes! I felt my night was already ruined, but chef Taylor was a blast and made it quite enjoyable. The food was delicious and prepared exactly how I wanted it. So we then ate our food and asked our server Ana for our bill. Here is where all hell broke loose, in the course of 30 minutes and 5 different attempts to bring us the prober bills I finally had to request a manager. A young lady came out and labeled herself as a "half server" whatever that is. Asked what was the matter. I then explained and she stated she would take care of it. Her taking care of it was a 10% discount. I felt so insulted, not only did I have to cancel my birthday plans but they felt my time and frustration was only worth 10%. Thanks Kobe for ruining my birthday plans.

Went there today for lunch. Good as always! Decent prices for lunch as well. Chicken was a little on the dry side today, but that's not the usual.

Comparing to Benehana's it is less expensive and the chefs seem more interactive and fun here. The food is average but the place feels a little dirty to me. I have been here a few times for a birthday and it's always fun. It is a busy and loud restaurant, too, however I think most teppanyaki places are. It's not my first choice but I will go if one of my friends picks it.

The service was great. The decor is nice. The Shashimi was lacking. I've had better at lower tier restaurants. I didn't have tappanyaki, so you can throw the baby out with the bath water.

I came here with my boyfriend last year. Average food and below average service. A spider came down from the ceiling while we were eating, told our waitress nicely, she asked:" is there a lot?" I replied:" No just one." She said "OK" and walked away...

Definitely not the best teppan I've ever had. First time we Wen on a Thursday and it was totally dead. Got sat at a table with a couple with 3 kids and a baby. Because babies should be around flaming stoves. Anyway, the chef was not Japanese, which always seems awkward since they act Japanese and make jokes about Japan. Although he didn't do much joke making, and seemed out of his element. The menu did not include any tuna. The steak and shrimp was okay at best. The shrimp seemed under cooked. I come here because I'm a sucker for teppan, and because it's close. If it was farther away, I probably wouldn't go.

I took my fiance and some friends here for her birthday, and we all had an AMAZING time! First of all, Happy Hour is great. $6 for a bottle of Sake and a Beer. If you like Sake Bombs, this is a terrific deal. They have good food specials on Happy Hour too. The service was great. Our Teppan chef was a ton of fun, and as an added perk, he had a bottle of Sake that he routinely sprayed into our mouths. Delicious. The food was very good. Like most Teppan restaurants, it's a little expensive, but in my opinion you're paying for the entertainment as well, which makes it all worth it. The next time we're looking for Teppan, we're coming back to Kobe for sure.

We have come to Kobe numerous times and it's always been amazing. Tonight we had a new cook, Conner, he was FRIGGIN AWESOME. Best teppan chef ever. We were all laughing so hard we couldn't even eat. I will request him every time I come back!

Had reservations for 7:15.....Didn't smell a Chef for 45 minutes. Place only had 2 chefs and every table was full. Chef ran through the show due to other tables waiting. Scallops were way way overcooked. Too bad. Been here many times and have enjoyed it. This is second time for us the reservation was basically useless.

Was fast, clean, fresh, so Much fun!! I had the Kobe.... Cheeeeeez!! Haven't had such a great piece of Kobe in years. Careful! They warn you they might run out of it. Call in advance and check for availability. At 44 bucks per person, you will not regret for a second, really nice piece of meat-heaven playing a symphony in your mouth!!!

Great meats. Okay chicken fried rice. Not so good salad dressing. Overall atmosphere 4 stars. I'll be back for the best stake of my life.

EN K.

The chef was entertaining so that was a positive. It is entertaining for kids and there is a kids menu ($12-16) with beef, chicken, and shrimp. So pretty good for kids. They also shoot sake into your mouth before cooking, also entertaining. The food was pretty standard for a teppanyaki place. Overall for the serving size, it was expensive about $20-35 for each dinner. They also have the Kobe beef which will run $40-70 for each dinner. I think it is good for special occasions but one dinner is not enough food for people with above average appetites. Therefore to not leave hungry, you would need an appetizer, drink, plus the dinner which includes rice, small salad. Possibly also side orders. That could put the price over $50/person which is a little more than what I prefer to get a good meal.

Definitely a great value place for sushi. Entrees are decent, but not extraordinary. Friendly servers.

Came in at 7ish to have dinner and was advised to come back at 8pm and they would be ready so we did and we sat at our table for an hour !!!! Before having any cook come to us.... As I sit here writing this review I brought new people to try and they will not be back. Worst service I have had here ever ! And I was here to celebrate my 30th

My first time here... was a very interesting experience. My chef was awesome. But the food was bland and the restaurant was dirty. I pulled out my chair and there was a mushroom stuck to it. And my friend pulled out her chair and there was a dirty napkin on it. They stuff as many people as that can in one table. Dirty, dirty place.

Jennifer Q.

Taylor was our cook for the tepan grill. He was awesome, fun and most importantly cooked the food to perfection. We have been to many tepan grills and hands down this is the best so far!!! Place is nice and service was good. Will def be back for more!!! Can't forget to add that the shrimp were amazing. Plump and juicy!!!

I hate to let people in on this fantastic hidden gem. Their happy hour is ridic. $3.50 gets you your choice of a Cali roll, crunchy Cali roll, or spicy tuna roll. Six bucks for a las Vegas roll too! My husband went with the six dollar sake bomb with the big beer! Check it out sometime.

This restaurant was not as nice as I thought it would be. When we walked in, we were greeted with the typical Teppanyaki smell, which I guess should be expected in a Japanese steak house, but it is still gross. We were seated immediately at 7 on a Friday night and promptly served, which is good because the food was not worth waiting for. The sushi was mediocre and the teriyaki was drenched in sauce instead of tastefully seasoned. Everything we ordered was completely eatable, but not good enough for the price. This restaurant would get 4 stars if it were cheaper.

Brittany M.

Filet mignon is delish! Big portions! Fun show! Didn't catch the shrimp in the mouth though :( (just a tip, chairs are not comfy if your legs go numb easily)

John R.

We went on a Monday, no problem getting a seat at the tepanyaki table. It was 3 of us and we were seated with another family for 4, so it made it more fun. I started with some sushi that was really good. The grilling dude was ok, kinda funny but same old jokes when you have been to these types of restaurants. Still had a great time. I had the seafood trio with a side of filet, man that was outstanding ! Great food. Wife had the Grilled fish, that was excellent as well ! Definately will go back ! Would love to go on a weekend when its more livelier !

Really good Teppanyaki and great chefs that are quite entertaining. Great for kids too, they seem to love the show. The sushi is not bad either.

Lana H.

Came for a birthday so there was a group of us. We were all underwhelmed by this place. We waited nearly an hour from our reservation time to place our food order. They charged extra for fried rice with the Teppanyaki. They wouldn't do any substitution requests. Every answer was no. The waitress who was suppose to be supporting the table for water etc disappeared and we were left without water for 3/4 of the meal. She never even checked in on us (and it wasn't busy). Spend your money elsewhere for a better Teppanyaki experience.

The sushi smelled and tasted fishy. But we went mid week at three so its posable the fish was a bit old. We are planning on trying it again to see if the sushi gets better. The place was great and the staff is nice

This place is so good it takes a lot to give less than 5 stars, even an employees motorcycle parts in the corner doesn't waiver my 5 stars.

First time visitor on New Years Eve. Was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Much better than some of the chain Japanese restaurants. Service was great and all the meals we had were excellent and reasonable price. Had filet scallops and chicken as main entree. Side dishes excellent also. Our chef was friendly and entertaining. Will return soon.

Kate E.

I went here for dinner last night with four other people. I got two sushi rolls (spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail), and we shared the chicken fried rice. Sushi: Middle of the line. I felt like it was a little bit pricey for what I got. Next time I will make sure we go during happy hour for sushi. Fried Rice: Amazeballs. I will eat my own body weight in this rice. This rice is the new everything. Service was friendly and the place had a nice atmosphere. It was pretty dead while we were there, which was fine since we weren't there to make new friends. The bathrooms were nice and clean.

Awesome Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box... definitely more than enough food in that thing. Green Iced tea was amazing as well. Not too expensive, great service.

I had gift certificates to this place and wanted to eat healthier so it was decided that my wife, Kathy R., my grandson and I would head here for lunch. My wife got the Kobe steak & lobster, Kathy R. got the kobe steak, my grandson got the kobe steak and lobster and I had the kobe steak. All the meals come with: Miso soup, salad, choice of white or chicken fried rice and grilled veggies. When you go to a teppenyaki restaurant, you don't really go for the food, you kind of go for the entertainment. but this place served Kobe beef. Kobe beef is known for being lean, lower in cholesterol than chicken or turkey. it is known as Healthy beef? In fact all of us commented that the steak was so succulent it melted in your mouth. Kobe has community seating...(The tables are designed to fit 8 people) You are seated next to other parties around the chef and the chef comes by after all orders are taken. Then in addition the chef brings all fresh ingredients to the table and cooks it for you on the spot with various tricks! The show is very impressive. The "show" is the checf who cooks in front of you. In this case he also pulled tricks with knives and fire to keep us all entertained. My steak was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. There is nothing like Kobe Steak. The Miso soup was excellent, the salad was so so, the grilled veggies were ok. It also came with white rice which I did not eat. I only had a few bites of everything and took a lot home with me for later. One last thing about the meal sevral people at our table ordered fried rice so we were given the opportunity to try some since the chef made extra. I must say even though I only had a bite OMG it was good. It had to be the best fried rice I've had in many years. FOOD: If you rate the place strictly on food, then it's not that spectacular. But you're not here solely for food. You come here for an experience. PRICE: The prices are reasonable. SERVICE: After we got seated the waitress immediately gave us menus and asked us for our drinks/orders. She was welcoming, and was always right there when we needed her to be. She was simply excellent, efficient, and friendly. AMBIENCE: Overall I enjoyed the restaurants environment and vibe! Perfect for families and group celebrations! It's pricey but you gotta keep in mind you're also paying for the entertainment and its unique service. CONCLUSION: This restaurant is fun for birthdays, Anniversaries, special occassions, group outings, couples, and kids. It's entertaining and the food tastes great. RETURN FACTOR: 100% will definitely be back here but only for a special occassion..

We ate here in December and everything tasted old. Finally decided to try it again and that was a mistake. We were seated immediately however it took 10 minutes for a server to even come over. And we had to flag her down. So we finally ordered. 50 minutes later after still not receiving our sushi we decided just to pay for our drinks and leave. Never returning. No reason to. Better sushi around town. Ra and Sakana. We ended going to Sakana and eating and leaving in under 45 minutes.

Sushi is fine but the service is consistently poor. They should get some servers who at least pretend to be pleasant.

Kobe has a wide variety of items available on their lunch menu. Always priced right, and always prepared fresh in front of you. Kind of tough to beat that. I have yet to have a bad experience at Kobe.

John S.

The kobe steak was reasonably priced and came with a lot of sides. I did not think it was up to par with the reputation kobe steaks have. They also served my wife tempura with a mosquito fried in it. They brought us another one and gave us a free soup and salad. Other than that this place isn't too bad but we would not come back here.

Vic L.

Great atmosphere, and the waitress was attentive while taking orders ! The chef was a younger guy was just ok ! Didn't think the Fried rice was great but the miso soup and salad yummy! My sashimi very tasty and the New York Strip and shrimp yummy! Added tip of our party of 6! Squirting Sake and tossing shrimp to catch in your mouth Lots of Fun! Overall it was good!

We took my sister and brother in law and my 10mo old nephew for a birthday celebration. It was the best time ever!!! First, we didn't like where we were going to be seated and they quickly moved us to another table so that the baby would get a better view. The service was very good. We ordered Sushi first and it was amazing! Very reasonably priced as well. The sushi came out as it was ready so that it wasn't sitting there waiting for the rest of the orders to be made. That was a nice way for us to share and try all the sushi. The men at the table ordered Saki bombs. They were huge! The best part of the evening was the show. My chef knew we had first timers and put on a great show that included everyone at the table. My nephew was amazed and even ate some of the rice. So, with that, the food was delicious!!! I have been to many different steakhouses in many different states. This by far is one of the best! I would recommend the filet minion. And if you really want to treat yourself, get the Kobe steak. It was amazing!

I've been using this restaurant for every birthday and graduation for the last three or four years! My family and I love this place the food is simple and delicious. Amazing sushi and the teppan is a great show and kid friendly. Ask for Allen he's the best!

Amanda W.

I'm highly upset with Kobe. It's a place my coworkers and I stop at when we are in the mood for sushi. I waited 20 + minutes for Las Vegas rolls and Crunchy California Rolls. We called the order for pick up 15 minutes before we got there. I personally do not feel like their sushi is quality enough to be waiting 40 minutes for mediocre sushi. And there were no cars in the parking lot. What could they be doing smh. Hope this helps!

Sarah W.

We absolutely LOVED the Teppan here, Primarily because of our Chef, He was AWESOME!. I don't think i've ever had a Teppan chef who was as involved with his patrons as ours was. I can also say I have never had SAKE directly squirted into my mouth by a Teppan Chef lol... The food was good too and I would totally recommend the Mushroom tempura. We will definitelt be back before we leave AZ.

Michael C.

This gigantic place is divided into several different restaurant types and a bar. Sushi counter, teppanyaki grills, a room with booths for serving typical Asian dishes, and a happy hour bar. We tried the teppanyaki and had a great time, luckily for us our cook and the other guests at our table were a hoot - not to mention the excellent quality of the ingredients. I will be back!
(4)
Karl M.

Kobe and Benihana are the ONLY teppanyaki places that get it right (meaning that the meat isn't overcooked). Always a reliable choice. Don't get to hit this place much anymore, since I've retired to the NW, but will when I visit.

Really great food, the chefs know what they're doing and know how to make teppan yaki fun. Our chef was a younger guy and had a good time letting people have sake squirts and flipping food into people's mouths. It was a blast!! Will definitely come here again, next time with a large group.

Kobe Bryant Sucks By The Rue Enjoyed some happy hour, At Kobe Japanese Steakhouse, They don't have sweet and sour, And I don't have a spouse. A great happy hour selection, On their food and drink, Just some minor imperfections, I'd eat here with Barton Fink. Kobe Bryant does it in the kaboose, Even if you try to deny him, He'll make your rear end loose, But I hear he prefers them slim. $4 sushi rolls and $4 beers, This place has got it gonig on, Great for cows and for steers, They also pour their drinks strong. Their menu has such a variety, Go alone or with a group, This place won't give you anxiety, But it might make you go poop. DENVER!!!

It was Valentine's Day,. my girl friend and I were having a double date with our friends. We usually get the tepen, but all the the seats reserved. So we decided to do dine in. I ordered the unagi dish. For some reason it took them awhile for me to get it. When I finally got the dish, it was ice cold. I can think of two scenarios on why it was ice cold. 1. It was made and forgotten about a left on the counter. 2. Somebody else ordered it and didn't want it, so did they decided to give it to me instead of making me a fresh one. Either way I had to eat cold food. I probably could have told them it was cold and they probably could have fixed it. But my judgement is on how they got it done the first time, not how they can make up for it. A good excuse on why it was cold would have been that it's supposed to be served cold, but I've ordered this dish in the past it was always served hot or at least warm.

I went here for my birthday last night. In all my dining out experience, I have never had so much fun at a Japanese Steak House! The food was excellent, the service quick and order accurate, and even though we had a full table and it felt a little squished, the family we were seated next to was welcoming and sweet. (Though this is always hit or miss, as you can't control who you're seated next to). I had the Filet Mignon and Chicken combo which came with the soup, salad and chicken fried rice. We had a crab wonton app, and then they brought me some chocolate ice cream with a candle in it and sang me a birthday song, complete with a drum and everything! Also, the chef threw bits of meat into our mouths from afar and we tried to catch them, and squirted sake into our mouths with a squeeze bottle: mine until it overflowed. My bf laughed at me. Definitely going back here. Would be curious to try their sushi as well since we opted for the grill last night. They didn't have TV in our section but might in the others(?) so chose "not sure" on that. No big as there's so much going on that I wouldn't have been watching TV. All in all, it was an excellent experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Amy S.

Came here 2 Saturdays ago to use a gift certificate the boss man gave me for Christmas. They have happy hour 7 days a week as long as you're not in the teppan dining room (which we were not). I ordered a Tokyo Iced Tea, which the server explained was like a Long Island but with Midori. I do not recommend the Tokyo Iced tea. I do not recall all the rolls that we ordered. Everything was pretty much up to par with what I expect from a reasonably priced Sushi restaurant! Really fresh food, really good prices!

Michael C.

Cook was great like last time. Kids loved the fire, the fish, and the food. The service was friendly, but mostly absent, even though we were one of the the only ones there at lunch. Maybe because the gratuity was already baked into our bill? I took the whole fam, and with 6 people or more, they add 18% for a tip.

Kathy G.

3.75* Had our holiday party here. It was fun and a different version of the 'Benihana' schpeil. Here comes the asian ketchup...beating heart fried rice, shrimp tail in hat....Here, there's a little less skill at the table, but much more FIRE...and Alcohol...our chef would sporadically say SAKE SAKE! and try to squirt sake from a small squeeze bottle in everyone's mouth from a distance. Not all ended up in your mouth unfortunately. No one wanted to get pulled over reeking of sake, so most opted out. Definitely fun to watch though! Food was better than I expected. Everything tasted fresh and had decent flavors. The interior of the restaurant isn't as nice as a Benihana, or Sapporo, but at least the price reflects that. It is fun and believe it or not, maybe a little less cheesy than Benihana. Great for groups!

Kobe (Koe-Bay). We haven't been to one of these places for a teppan performance/meal in quite awhile. We last went to one about 3 years ago in Boston. Prior to that was about 5 years ago in Denver. Before that was Cleveland about 9 years ago. Based on that, look for another teppan review late in 2012 from either Chicago or Seattle - I haven't decided yet but the fares are good that far out. Our chef Gabriel did a nice job on both the food and the performance. There was plenty of throwing things in the air, spinning various implements around, flashes of fire, smoldering onion volcano's and tidbits tossed to the folks around the table who tried mostly successfully to catch as well as our dog. Gabriel also rewarded folks with a nice shot of sake from his squirt bottle. I actually had enough of these to have a nice sake buzz going. That's right - I catch food like a dog better than the other folks at the table. A fact I'm not sure I should be proud of. I ordered the filet & shrimp. It came with miso soup which was fair and lacking very much tofu, a small and plain salad with a pretty mild ginger dressing, grilled shrimp appetizer and white rice. This is the only teppan meal I have had that does not include fried rice - it is a couple bucks extra. I opted for the fried rice which was pretty good. The shrimp (both the appetizer and those that came with the main course) were tender and tasty. The filet was not as tender but still tasty. Overall, not a bad deal for the meal & show. I frankly have grown a bit weary of these but it is fun to go with kids or teppan virgins.

Meghan M.

We went to Kobe Japanese Steak House to celebrate our daughter's second birthday a few weeks ago. We were seated at a table with another family, who also happened to be celebrating their child's second birthday. First off, I must say that this is a great restaurant for children. The servers are accommodating and the teppan chef is mindful of the children and interactive with them. Taylor was our chef and he was so friendly and fun. Definitely request him if he's working. We requested extra tofu for our daughter, not once, but twice, and they were happy to meet our requests. The food was delicious and plentiful, and none of us left hungry. We had such a great time that we came back two weeks later with my in-laws and the only difference was that Taylor wasn't working that night. The food was still delicious and we definitely look forward to returning another time. If you are bringing a toddler, you might want to use a towel or blanket to have them sitting higher in the high chair so they get a better view of all the teppan chef is doing..

Jane W.

Went here for my birthday with a group of friends. The food was good, however the service was probably the WORST I've ever experienced. I had made a reservation in advance, so they were perfectly aware of the large party. Not to mention, there was ONLY one other table in the entire restaurant eating. We saw our server maybe once, possibly twice when she asked for our drinks and then brought us our check. We all had empty drinks for probably 20-30 minutes. I was disappointed because I had brought so many close friends and family here, in hopes of having a fun dinner. I truly am never one to complain and always give the benefit of the doubt (I use to serve) but this was awful. Not to mention extremely overpriced. Overall all, don't go here!!

We eat here all the time and normally the experience is good, but last night we actually walked out due to poor service. The place was busy but we sat in the back room which was not full. A 12-top was seated right next to us before we were seated. We had our 17-month old with us and had to get our own high chair. We waited twenty minutes with not a single word or even eye contact from the waitress, who walked right by us several times to other tables. She took the drink order from the big table, then went to the table behind us, apologized for the delay and took their order. I expected her to take ours at the same time, but nope, she went to put their order in. She then went to another table and refilled the guy's water glass. She came back with the drinks for the big table. I thought she might be bringing water to us, but she then proceeded to take the order from the 12-top first (which is never a fast task - they were asking about the specials on the board in the front lobby, so she had to run out to check what they were). They also had to remind her that not all drinks had been served for their table yet. All this time, still no eye contact, hello, sorry for the wait, I'll be right with you, anything to placate us. My husband even went out to the car to get snacks for our daughter, which I ended up eating. Finally we gave up and left. We did say something to front hostess and got a weak "sorry". If I ran my business like this, I'd be out of business! Not sure when we'll be back.

We eat at Kobe at least a couple times a month. This is by far the best sushi that we have been able to find in the valley, and their happy hour menu is awesome. We sit exclusively at the bar, as the service in the dining rooms seems to be a bit slow. The food is consistently good and our favourite bartenders never disappoint. Love this place!

Eaten here three times. Each time the food has been fresh and really good. Great service as well.

Great happy hour offset with ridiculously overpriced non happy-hour alcoholic drinks ($8 for a little Strawberry margarita class, c'mon?). Sushi/california roll - eh, was decent. Stuffed shrimp was incredible. Not enough to get me to come back or recommend to friends.

Dustin G.

My experience was pretty good but a problem with the bill has led to me give this place a low rating. We went on my birthday and had their $20 birthday coupon. I specifically asked the waitress if we could order off the happy hour menu before we ordered anything. She said it would be fine as long as we ordered more than $20 off the regular menu. When the bill came she said the manager told us we could either get happy hour prices or $20 off the bill. I wouldn't have ordered $20 worth of full-priced sashimi a la cart or an extra carafe of sake if I thought this would be the case. I wasn't happy about this and I won't ever go back to this place. The waitress didn't even say "Happy Birthday" to me even though she insisted on looking at my license to verify that it was my birthday. There really isn't anything special about Kobe so I'd suggest you go to RA for sushi and Benihana for teppanyaki.

I go for Rotary on Monday afternoons. The service we receive is FANTASTIC, however the food is marginal. We have a set menu so I can't comment on everything, but sometimes the sushi doesn't seem completely fresh and everything else is just sort of bland. Oh, and there always seems to be a strange smell when you walk into the restaurant. Not sure what that is

Josh B.

Attempted to stop and get lunch and was told they were closed for lunch even though the hours listed said I had 10 minutes left. I guess they didn't need my money even though my order would have been to go. I will never attempt to dine here again.

Olivier N.

Came here with a party of 5 for a birthday. In general the food was very good. Although we did not order Sushi, the Teppenyaki was delicious. Our chef was very nice, the show was also very good. The price was rather high. Our bill was $70 for two Teppenyaki dinners, 3 beers.

Anna M.

Happy Hour Review... We stopped in to check out the happy hour. The HH menu is very limited. We decided to skip the weak food options and just have the $2 sake. For cheap sake it was not too bad. The decor is nice and the staff were all dresses in kimono type dresses. I would come back to try the teppan.

Elaine Q.

I go here often because it is a reliable sushi place with teppanyaki (sp?). The service is friendly the times I've been here. The sushi is good with a deep list and reasonably priced. One time that I ordered takeout, though, they forgot to include my salad and soup. The teppan show is very entertaining. The chefs do their magic and feed you fast! We always order their chicken yakisoba and it is full of chicken and shrimp but it can be a bit too oily. I do recall having a great Mai Tai which is big in my book!

I've been meaning to review our experience for a couple of months and here it is. We bought a TravelZoo Local Deal for the $25 Theater-Style Teppanyaki or Sushi Dinner for 2 at Kobe (Chandler, AZ). It was plain awful. They completely bait and switched on us and treated us like second rate customers. What began as either sushi or teppanyaki to the tune of $75 (we opted for sushi) turned into a fixe prix three course menu with extremely limited choices, none of which added up to the said dollar value. Not only that, but they sanctioned off a separate room for travelzoo local deal diners. A dirty room with no music, a new waitress-in-training who didn't speak english, a supervising waiter who apologized for the obvious bait and switch, stating the owners wanted to make it "simpler and more organized" when clearly they were trying to save a dime. After we showed our surprise to the unexpected change, we had very little attention or service for the rest of the night. We had to basically beg to get the bill so we could leave. The food honestly wasn't even good, some was just plain inedible. It was a depressing experience and I suggested that travelzoo never partner with that particular restaurant again. I also suggest that you find another more palatable place to dine. Plenty of other choices in town, no need to see for yourself here.

How fun! Meal starts off with miso soup, then salad with a funky dressing, appetizer shrimp, fried rice, then the main course. Somewhere in the middle of it all, the chef tries to flip shrimp into your mouth. Not so successful at our table, but entertaining nonetheless! Variety of scallops, steak, lobster tail, chicken, veggies, and tofu. Everyone was happy with their meal, portions are large, and drinks are tasty! Definitely bring some $$, because it's not cheap.

The only thing lousier than the food was the service. The food came out warm and dry as if it had been sitting under the lamp for a while. It was not gat tasting. The sushi was nothing special. The server was forgetful and unattentative. She got the order wrong. The only reason we did not complain is because the kids were tired and we were all hungry and did not want to wait for new food to be cooked or have to go some place else. A waste of money for what you get. You are better off with Hon Machi or Benihana!

My boyfriend and I found Kobe almost a year ago and have been several times for lunch, dinner and happy hour. We abosolutley love the place. The food, service, menu selection and prices make Benihanna a waste if time. The Kobe beef is totally worth the price. They have several entrees and sides to choose from and the sushi is fabulous. If you want a nice meal at a reasonable price then go for lunch. Happy hour is from 3 to 7 EVERYDAY! There are only a handful of restaurants that we will go to and this is one of them. Totally amazing food experience.

I do LOVE this place. It's not as expensive as teppan restaurants back home (California) and the food totally works for me. But let me break it down... Service: I've never had a problem with the hosts, but sometimes the servers take a while. Now, mind you, this isn't EVERY time, just some of the time. But you don't come here if you're in a hurry, anyway... Drinks/Food: I'm not 21, nor am I endowed with a "fake" ;), so I can't say anything about the drinks. But the food...ahhh, so good. Portions are big, which is good for leftovers! Most dinner meals come with miso soup, steamed rice (which can be exchanged for fried at a slightly higher price), salad, and the entree itself. I think the sushi tastes great. I order the Buddha's Delight every time and I'm not disappointed, except... -Sometime's the food's a bit greasy. Even the vegetables. Just tell the chef to go easy on the oil and butter. I know that people don't come here to eat the healthiest meals of all time, but still. -I am about 90% vegetarian and don't eat the meat. BUT! When I do try it, it always seems a tad undercooked. I try bits of steak, shrimp, or chicken (aka whatever my friends are having) almost every time I'm here, so yes, I have experience, and yes, it does taste a tad undercooked almost every time. Price: The meals *average* about 25/person including tax, but not tip. Lunches are cheaper. The average I listed above is assuming you get the typical teppan meal, which most people do. Sushi and other appetizers aren't priced horribly, either. Your actual bill per person could be higher, but probably no more than 60 - there's lobster on the menu. I'd be very surprised if it was that much, though. Decor/"feel": It's dark in here...not too lively. Somewhat interesting Japanese-style decor (well, duh) I don't really care, though. I come here to EAT! Entertainment value: As a 20-year-old who's been to many different teppan restaurants HUNDREDS of times, I can say that this place is no different than any other. There are some cool chefs here, of course (I like Chris)...but unless you're a teppan n00b or a little kid you're not going to be enthralled. I will say it once again though: I personally do not care. I'm hungry. OVERALL: Great place to eat, fun with a group, but make sure you talk to your chef and that you're not in a hurry. Awesome.

The sashimi is fresh, cold, and excellent quality. Yes, it's a little more expensive than the grocery store. However, Kobe is well worth it if you have the discriminating palate to appreciate the quality. They had (at the time) fresh scallops still in the shell. pretty expensive, but the sushi chef let me hold the shell and show my boy the "before" state of our meal. Service is good, but if you go to a *real* sushi restaurant, you have to accept a certain level of language barrier. Communicate clearly and adapt or go to McDonald's.

Our family of 4 adults was very pleased with everything from beginning to end. The service was attentive, but not rushed, the food was fresh and tasty, and the seasonings were spot on. The sashimi was very fresh and well presented. The teppan chef was friendly and entertaining. We were pleased to find a hibachi steakhouse which hit the mark. We will be going back here.

Although I havent tried the Teppan part of the restaurant, the service and sushi wasnt good. Sushi wasnt fresh and a waiter passed by us several times, about 10 minutes without helping or saying if someone helped us.

The problem here people, is that sushi should be had at a sushi restaurant when in Arizona. Not Kobe. Try Sushi Eye down the street for that. Waiting for a table to fill can suck. Getting squished into a table of 8, when you only have 2 sucks too. For teppanyaki, this place is a-OK for a while. Once you eat here a few times, you start to realize that not all the chefs can actually cook. You have to find the chef you like, and stick with them. Also, after a while it all tastes the same. This place is really good, when you have not had it in a few weeks/months. Salad and soup, not so good. Tell them to keep it! The cooking experience can be fun for someone who has not been there before, or for children. Who doesn't love a beating heart made from fried rice, or a fire shooting train when the lights are dimmed? Overall its good. Nicer place than Ichi Ban. And way way better than the local Benihana. (Not sure why the Benihana in AZ suck, they are great in CA)

The focus here is mostly on Tepanyaki, but their sushi and rolls are equally notable. The prices are a bit on the high side, so we only really go here for special occasions. Their fish quality has been good on every visit and their rolls are the closest thing to perfect that I've had in AZ. Also, they have pretty great happy hour specials and there is usually plenty of room in the bar for dining. I recommend this place over and over again and I definitely would consider it number one for sushi in the valley.

Okay... so I think the food is really, really good here, what with the use of all of that extra sweet, salty, delicious creamery butter that they add to everything to cook it in front of you... so very, very tasty... and heart-stopping! But tasty, oh, yessss... Here's the thing, though - the food is not consistent. We had a party of 6 and shared the table with another party of 4 and everyone had a different protein. So on our side, there was one who ordered chicken, two with scallops, one with shrimp, and two with filet. The chef comes out and gets to work on rice: some had fried and some had steamed. Steamed was served first and the bowl of rice just sat in front of the customer as there was nothing to go with it yet. Then the fried rice was cooked and served, but again, that food sat untouched. Scallops were cooked first and distributed to the two people who ordered them, but veggies were not cooked yet and no one else's food was either, so the scallops sat on the plates, untouched. Next was shrimp, then filet, then finally chicken, and THEN veggies. when the Veggies were finally served the chef scooped from a large pile of sauteed vegetables and started serving the table from the inside out, so the first three people on either side of the table got the large chunks of vegetables, and the people in the outer three chairs were served what was left, which was little slivers of overcooked, mostly onions. By then my scallops, which were seared to perfection, were cold, as was my rice. The food was very tasty and seasoned correctly but most of my food was cold when I was able to finally start eating. For $25 a plate there's gotta be a better way than this, doesn't there?

I'd call this place a poor man's Ichi Ban except it's more expensive. I went there on Sunday night and it was pretty dead. Right as we were getting situated, a waitress walked into the room with a tray of drinks and promptly dropped half of them in a loud crash. I would consider that excellent foreshadowing and a metaphor for the overall dining experience. First we had to wait forever because we were the only ones at our table. After asking if it would be much longer, they said you have to wait 15 minutes and 10 had already passed so we decided to invest another 5 minutes hoping for some sort of payoff in the end. Ten minutes later, we finally got to place our order after we asked again. In a nutshell: the salad and soup were nothing special, my fork was dirty, and the entrees were bland and burnt. There didn't seem to be much seasoning used, if any. Definitely not as good as Ichi Ban and the meals cost about $5 more, plus they charge $2.00 extra for fried rice, unlike at Ichi Ban where fried rice is free. I was glad when we finally got out of there and I don't plan on going back.

I am shocked to see such a low rating for Kobe and Benihana gets more stars? Seriously? I noticed most of the reviews are for sushi here and I have only had tepanyaki. We had a great experience here. Granted the miso and salad are nothing to rave about, but are they ever? You don't go to tepan for miso and salad with ginger dressing. My experience here was better in every way, shape and form compared to the Benihana in Scottsdale, but thats a whole other review. We were seated promptly and or drink orders were taken while we waited 5 min for our table to fill up. They took our orders as we were ready to give them and we waited for our chef. He was seriously a lot of fun, I wish I could remember his name! They might charge an extra $2 for fried rice but the free saki shots made up for that. Our food was prepared perfectly as ordered and we got the standard flipping food at someones mouth and one of the better onion volcanos I've seen. I'm sad to see this place have such a low rating as my experience was great!

Oh my god, this place was abysmal. My dinner partner and I had planned on going to Sushi Eye for happy hour last night, but after driving up and down Elliot 4 or 5 times without finding it and with the end of happy hour quickly approaching, we finally pulled into Kobe out of sheer desperation. Biggest mistake ever. So, the hostess asks us whether we want sushi or teppan, and we say sushi. Then, sushi bar or table? We've got some talking to do, so we say table. Once we're seated at a table with menus, our eyes pop out of our heads when we see the sushi prices. Like, we're talking $8 spicy tuna rolls. So we ask the waiter whether there are any happy hour specials. He says, "Yes, but we only have happy hour at the sushi bar, not at the tables." Hmm, okay. So we move to the sushi bar and ask for a happy hour menu. The waiter says, "Oh, you mean happy hour sushi? I thought you meant drinks. At the sushi bar we only do happy hour drinks. If you want happy hour sushi, you have to sit at the main bar." So, we've been there for 3 minutes and moved twice. Not exactly auspicious beginnings. It only got worse from there. There are two happy hour sushi specials: spicy tuna roll and california roll, both $3.25. We were starving so we ordered two of each, plus Kobe tofu and pork gyoza (both also on happy hour special for $3.25). It was the worst sushi I've ever had, and I've had a lot of sushi. The california roll was horrendous. It was 95% imitation crab and mayonnaise, with teeny slivers of cucumber and brown avocado. The spicy tuna roll, though not as actively offensive as the california roll, was boring and mushy. The Kobe tofu was bland and had an oddly spiced dipping sauce - eating it was reminiscent of eating McDonald's chicken nuggets dipped in sweet and sour sauce. And not in a good way. The pork gyoza, though, was wonderful, though at $3.25 for 5 of them, it was not enough of a bargain to warrant a return trip. And all, the while, since the place is (for whatever reason) really busy, we're stuck at the end of the bar, where we have to listen to the world's most obnoxious waitress prattle on to the bartender about how she's soooooo tired of all these women glaring at her because they think she's after their men, and how she wants to "get a t-shirt that says, "Honey, I'm not after what you've got because I've got my own stuff to deal with at home." Wow. Witty. Anyway, this place is awful and I'll never be back. Luckily, we finally found Sushi Eye on the way home (hiding sneakily between a Quizno's and a Baja Fresh, if memory serves) and hopefully we'll have a more pleasant happy hour experience next week. Sigh.

I cant say that I really enjoyed having lunch here today. The sushi was so so. The mushroom tempura was actually pretty tasty, everything else, not so much. I never really pay attention to the prices when I eat sushi, so I can't tell you how expensive it was. I can tell you this - I have had better. I think this is the first time I have had sushi that I couldnt actually taste the fish in the heavy sauces that were used. The tea was really good, I didnt have to add sugar to it, which is not the norm for me. I didnt have any drinks, which I should have, because I was already having a horrible day. Kind of disappointing, I had been looking forward to this place since I saw them putting it in a while back. Probably wont go back.

I have been to Kobe many times with big groups of friends. While I've had great times at this place everytime I've been there, I think it's more the company than the restaurant. Since I usually to go to Kobe with a large group (8 or more), they always make us wait to be seated until everyone gets there... even if we're just waiting for 1 last member, even when we've called in reservations. That can be very annoying. The sushi is pretty typical... not outstanding, but good. The teppan dinners are also pretty typical, they use quality ingredients, but the meals are wayyyy overpriced. Plus, many times, I've tried ordering certain cocktails from their menus, only to wait 20 min, have the server forget about the order, then tell me they don't have the ingredients to mix the drink. Quite a bummer. Plus... if you go to Kobe for a birthday, be prepared to fork over $5 for their "Birthday Special", where the wait staff comes out to sing their birthday song, give you a piece of cheesecake (kind of random for a Japanese Steakhouse), and take a snapshot of your group.

Ive gone 2 a million Teppan restaurants in my life. This 1 was probably the worst. Our chef was bland w/o any tricks & the food wasnt worth the price. However, thr party across from us appeared 2 b havn fun with the chef. Hopefully u get him

Love love love Kobe! They have great happy hour specials and wonderful service! My husband and I go to Kobe at least twice a month. They have the BEST chicken fried rice and miso soup! It is a very relaxed place and caters to everyone from families to couples on dates. We will be regulars for a very long time to come.

The steak and shrimp combo is so yum o! Its one of the few teppanyaki grills left here in the east valley. Their sushi is really good too. I usually order the rainbow roll, not to big on sweet sauce or cream cheese in sushi. The lobster is and kobe steak is awesome! The prices are not bad considering the amount of food you get and the sake being sprayed at you... very entertaining. The kobe I believe is american kobe... its way too inexpensive to be japanese kobe. All in all one of my fav places. They have great lunch specials also!

Warning do not go here!!! 18 friends of mine went here last Friday night for a Xmas party. We were told when we made our reservations for 18 that if we were not all here at 10 min. After our time the reservation would be cancelled. We all showed up on time and our table was not ready and the place was empty. After we were finally seated we spent some time opening gifts (maybe 15 min) and we were told by our server to hurry up! She said the chef was waiting. We all ordered and ate. The food was ok at best. The service was HORRIBLE! We had to beg for drinks and told we couldn't get saki because they didn't have any clean glasses. Our big came out to $1,000 and it was the worse! I called to complain today and the manager simply replied he was sorry. I work as a public relation manager at our office so I just wanted to give Kobe a chance to make good on our horrible meal but not one solution came out of his mouth! Take your money and run!!!!

Kobe just barely deserves three stars, and here's why. The food is a wild mix of "I've had much better at Shogun Express", to "Wow! This is really tasty." The service was another mixed bag. Our server wasn't on the ball, but some of the others covered for him. I'm not sure exactly how long they've been open, so the service may improve. Overall, I feel comfortable saying that you don't get what you pay for. Last night, my wife and I met a friend at Kobe for dinner. We started off with an order of Gyoza; it was served warm-ish. I almost sent it back to be heated up, but had a feeling they'd just throw it in the microwave. The flavor was good, but nothing special. Our Gyoza was followed by Ginger salads and Miso soup. As our friend said, Miso soup is tough to mess up. It happens, but not often. Luckily, Kobe's was just fine. As was the salad, which consisted of iceberg lettuce, a cherry tomato, a couple strands of carrot, and the only thing capable of saving such a pathetic salad, some yummy ginger dressing. The ladies ordered sushi and both really enjoyed their rolls. As I'm not a sushi eater (I know, I know, shoot me now!), I can't really comment on the quality other than the girls' reactions and comments, which were mostly (if not completely) positive. I, on the other hand, ordered a cucumber roll and the teriyaki chicken and steak combo. A cucumber roll is another one of those really difficult things to screw up. There's was just fine. The teriyaki dish was the worst teriyaki chicken/steak I've had in recent memory. The meat was a dry and the rice was either over cooked, or had been sitting out too long like the Gyoza. For desert, we ordered a mango sorbe and a vanilla tempura (read fried) ice cream. Neither were anything to write home about, but neither were bad either, which is exactly how I'd characterize the restaurant. Although I didn't try the entire menu, my recommendation is that you stick to sushi and miso soup.

I love love love this place. I usually come here with a group of friends and we do the "Teppan Style". I love this place more than any other teppanyaki place. My food is always good and I have always had a reallly good cook with a great performance. I can't wait to go again. :) Yummy! The only thing I have a problem with is when we go there with big groups the waitresses tend to take your order and then disappear. They are nice but sometimes hard to get back. I like to always have a drink available and I like it when they check on me. I guess it's hit and miss.

Went here for happy hour and it was neat and cheap. Sat at a table in the bar area, nice atmosphere. Ordered the spicy tuna roll which was nothing to brag about but it was 3.25. The Vegas Roll and Shrimp appetizer were very good. Entire bill was 24 bucks with two saki bombers. Awesome deal and quality tasty food.

Benihana style restaurant with good Sushi and Tepan cooking. You'll get the usual fare: terriyaki, tempura, and sushi, but the food is well prepared and the presentation was very good. Not an inexpensive place, however.

I had never been here before and was really looking forward to eating here with my wife and daughter. We were part of a 16 top table of friends seated at one of the Teppanyaki tables. Now, those who know me say I'm a patient guy, but this place really tried my patience. They did not disperse enough menus for the whole table and my wife, her friend and I sat her for FIFTEEN FRIGGIN' MINUTES waiting just for a menu. Finally I personally got up and walked to the host station and grabbed the menus myself. BTW we still haven't placed a drink order yet. That happened about ten minutes later as I looked at my watch and noted it was just shy of a 1/2 hour before we even placed our drink order. With that said, my Saki Bomber wasn't delivered for another 20 minutes. In short it was just shy of an hour to get drinks and order! Are you friggin' kidding me!?!!?!! My wife ordered iced tea and they brought no sugar - another 10 minutes watching the ice melt. If not part of a large party I most definitely would have got up and walked. On that note, one of the gals saw my displeasure of the near hour long drink order and delivery method and said to me, "Yea, the service really sucks here, you're kinda at their mercy as to what they want to do...but I love the Tepp Chef." Eeeek, boy, wrong kinda love I thought. Anyhow, the prices are a bit up there but you get a lot for it. They all include a cup of Miso soup, a small salad, a shrimp appetizer, rice, hibachi vegetables and your main course cooked in front of you. Now to be fair, the abysmal non-existent service from the beginning did pick up almost to pace. I was even asked for a new beer before the other was finished = which shocked me. The food courses were rolled out timely. Miso soup was good but not great. It was very hot and flavorful but the tofu cubes were smaller then an eraser head. The salad had if I recall correctly, a ginger vinaigrette and was small but decent with a single tear drop tomato in it. You also got a shrimp appetizer which was cooked by the Tepp Chef on the flat top. The shrimp was very good. What I liked about these courses is that my wife doesn't like miso soup OR shrimp so I got both of hers - shoot...swish. I ordered the scallops for my dinner with double hibachi veg and no rice. I was pleased that there was an abundance of scallops and they were seasoned and cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the chicken and it was absolutely terrible- dry and tasteless. Now the real value at this place and my only guess as to why ANYONE would venture to dine here are the Tepp Chefs. They are extremely entertaining. I got a real kick out of the Japanese chef speaking Slang Spanglish and the comedic value of this seemingly flying over most peoples head. This guy was really funny cool man. He did the whole onion volcano bit which is always entertaining. He made me slap the backs of my hands together like a friggin' circus seal and beg for a shrimp bite which he tossed up at me in the air to catch with my mouth, and when I did he squirted, from one of those squeezy type ketchup or mustard plastic bottles, sake into my mouth as a reward. That sake squirting gag was a gas man as he squirted it into the mouth of a woman at the table but kept doing it for like 7 seconds as it all dripped out of her mouth and onto her chest and shirt - funny stuff.

Came here for lunch with coworkers... it was very busy so I though this might be a good place for sushi after all. Unfortunately I was wrong. I ordered the Tuna Tataki salad and a side of chicken fried rice. The flavor of the dressing of the salad was very good and what I am used to tasting. My problem is with the tuna that was in the salad they were rather large pieces so you had to bite into them... you pretty much had to wrestle with it. Just not the quality of fish I am used to eating. The chicken fried rice I had was awesome, I think it might be one of the best I have tasted. Others I were dining with had the veggie tempura plate which I did try and was very good. Fried sweet potatoes, carrots zucchini, etc. Others had the sushi rolls and their thoughts on the fish were about the same as mine. I would go back, just not for sushi.

It was OK... the sushi wasn't that fresh. I liked the inside... we ate in the sushi area. The other side looked like Benihana. Nothing terrible.

I kind of liked Kobe. The teppanyaki has always been great. The sushi is often hit or miss. I used to be a somewhat regular there, living through the meh sushi to get the good. What stopped me going there completely, besides discovering Sushi Eye not even a mile away, was an event that happened one Saturday. My husband and I were sitting at the bar like we always did when an off-duty waitress showed up with a puppy she had just purchased. Not only did she take the dog to the sushi bar, but stood right next to us at the end of the bar so the sushi chefs could pet her new pooch. The manager joined in on the doggy loving and then took her and the dog to the back, towards the kitchen. Granted, there was probably an office back there, but do you really want a dog in the kitchen where your food is being prepared? Granted, this happened at least a year or two ago, and I called the county health department, but I haven't been back since.
