Giving the older man the 5 star. Either he's a manager or just front desk sitting customers not sure but one friendly and welcoming guy! It was my birthday and decided to come here, he got us seated right away, he made sure I got a free cheesecake which was DELICIOUS and he gave me chopsticks which was so thoughtful. Food was good m, totally just a great experience. Restrooms and areas seemed clean enough. Only thing was waiting awhile for a chef to come over to our table but not sure if that's the normal or not. Good experience here for the most part. Thank you for my gifted chopsticks!

My sister planned to take us here for my mom's birthday dinner and it was alright. The staff there are super friendly and just like every hibachi place, you can't be seated until your party is all present. My sister and her fiance were running late and so we were asked to sit and wait (party of 6) until they showed up and then we were sat at the table. We had 3 others joined us before our server came to take our order for drinks and appetizes. We took a minute to review before she came back and I ordered some edamame, and some sashimi for an appetizer. The edamame came out quickly but the others didn't come out until just before the hibachi chef came to our table to start cooking. I ordered white rice for my hibachi with shrimp and veggies. The food was not too bad, the sushi I definitely enjoyed more than my veggies and shrimp only because the shrimp was overcooked. The chef gave me fried rice but I guess he wasn't looking at the chart that the server gave him because he also gave my sister's fiance fried rice but he wanted udon noodles instead. We weren't charged extra for the error which was nice though! It was very loud inside so I will say it's very difficult to talk with other people on the table except for the people next to you. Everyone is shouting and everything echos inside since it's concrete floors and ceilings. We had brought a cake but since my family didn't want to stay for cake due to it being too loud, we asked the server for it back to take home and enjoy.

The food was okay. The staff did not care about us at all. The table and both were sticky. Granted we went for lunch but it wasn't a win for us. Seemed like a big waist of time and money.

3.5 stars.Everything was as it should be at a Hibachi restaurant but the wow factor and food quality was missing.There are several entree options for Teppanyaki - we chose vegetables udon noodles and teriyaki chicken. Both dishes were ok but lacking somewhere in taste, noodles had too much soy sauce and teriyaki chicken was missing the zing.The fire show was ok, not as elaborate as some other Hibachi themed restaurants. Typically, they always cook vegetable entree first, but our chef served it last so it was fried on the same grill as fish and steak so my fish ended up with those flavors that I don't like.Soup and salad were more appetizing than the main entree.Service was attentive although they brought out our check quickly, without being asked as if trying to get us to leave, perhaps to accommodate others in line.

Father's Day dinner at KOBE was so much fun! My dad loves Benihana, and unfortunately since there isn't one in Austin I was excited to find a highly rated alternative, and KOBE did not disappoint.They only take hibachi reservations for parties of 6 or more, but we were lucky and our party of 4 was able to walk in and get seated immediately. Our server was patient with all our questions and modifications to our orders (for example my sister ordered the teriyaki chicken but without the teriyaki sauce, and they accommodated that). The meal is on the expensive side, but you get a salad, soup, rice (slight upcharge for fried rice), main entree and a fun show for the price! The chef was skilled and made it an engaging and interactive experience. Everyone around the table enjoyed it. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion experience!

My husband and I had yet to exerpience a good HIBACHI type place. We knew going in, we would have to share the table. We had a nice couple sitting accross from us. But, what got us, was the family they sat in the middle. Now, if I was this family, I would have sat in the tables in the front of the restuarant. They were vegans, as they told the waiter. So, they were not interested in the cooking process. Only reason I can think, is for the two young children, around 7,,but they did not seem to care...then, they had 1 in highchair, who definatly was not interested. So, in the beginning, you get soup and salad to go with meal. Salad comes with a "ginger" type dressing, but the guy in the family asked the waiter if it had "dairy" in it, and the waiter said "yes, as it did have mayo". So, while the cook started to prep, they ate their seeweed salad. They order their vegetables, and waiter said that would come from kitchen, which was right behind us.Our waiter was great refilling my husband's soda. But, unfortunately they serve the soda in plastic bottle...which had carbination build up and sprayed upon opening! Why do they have this? No fountain in back? Our cook was not very energetic either. He just verified with everyone what ordered. I had the seafood feast and my husband got the steak, so we could have a little of both. We heard the cook from another table more animated and even singing "bye bye bye" to some of the food! LOL. When, we saw all the vegetables on the table top, we thought it belonged to family. We found out after all of us had our rices, and our meats...the vegetables were part of meals too. We struggled to find room on our plates. I just can't imagine this family watching this..all this meat being cooked......especially the uncooked egg for the fried rice. The cook went away and the family still did not get what they ordered, so they yelled into the kitchen to "hurry up". Finally, they got their two plates of vegetables, which they split between the two kids too. I was just sad to see them eat that, with all the meat the cook prepared.The food was good, but it just seemed the presentation was not there, the waiter was just there in beginning and serve check at the end.

Kobe has been one of my favorite lunch spots since 2010 or so. Today, I met an old friend to catchup and we had lunch at a normal table (vs at the grill), which is how they're handling lunch these days. We both got the samurai steak medium rare with fried rice and it also comes with miso soup. Its $14.95 for the lunch special now (extra for fried rice) but you also have other similar options like Teriyaki chicken, fish, veggie, or tofu. The samurai steak comes with two dipping sauces and veggies and the cook on it is always great. The veggies and fried rice hit the spot too. While you don't get the grill show at lunch, I don't really feel like I need it after having seen it and similar shows a have dozen times before. Service is always friendly and good.

What a show. It's been a long while since I've been here and I had forgotten how engaging and entertaining the chefs are as they prepare the food at your table. I had the noodles and chicken and my wife had the noodles and steak. They all come with stir fried vegetables, a very mild ginger tasting broth, and white rice. Other additions or substitutes are available at extra charge.Your food is prepared for you right at your table around the large flat top grills and what a show it is. The chef engages with the diners as he shows off his knife and spatula skills which are very impressive by themselves then he adds touches of fire and flame throughout as well.If you are looking for a dining experience and a show at the same time, this is the place to go. The chicken teriyaki was very good and my wife really enjoyed the noodles and steak as well. If you have room after the pile of food the present, you can end it off with a delicious cheesecake drizzled with caramel and chocolate for desert.Of course, they also offer a selection of wines and beers.

We went as a family of 6 on a Saturday afternoon and most of the tables were empty. The place is older but clean. Drink service was quick, and our chef arrived promptly. As expected, he was deft with his instruments and kept us all entertained, especially fascinating our thirty month old grandson. He cooked a variety of food from rice, veggies, and steak to scallops and everything was cooked to order. Portion sizes were good, and everyone was happy with their meals. We had a good time, ate well, and would go again.
