Recently celebrated my husband's birthday here and it did not disappoint. The other commonly known hibachi steakhouse that we were planning on visiting is known for taking forever to seat guests while charging more for food and providing less. Thankfully, none of these issues were encountered at Kobe! Not only did we have more than enough food including soup, salad, rice, noodles, chicken, steak, and potatoes, BUT the service was great and the show with the meal is always fun. Since we let them know we were celebrating a birthday, the entire serving staff even came out at the end of dinner and sang Happy Birthday in both Japanese and English! PRO TIP: Make sure that you download the app and apply for the birthday discount at least one week prior to your dining experience. We unfortunately waited too late for that and were only told after filling everything out that there would be a delay as far as the freebie being loaded onto the account. Not sure why this process is so complicated?
The food was great, and the service was excellent! Great experience for me! Our server was Wee. love the entertainment and jokes with him. Please eat here!
My mom, kids, 18 month old grandson and I went to Kobe for a late birthday dinner for me. Kobe has been one of our favorite places to dine, and did not disappoint. This was my grandson's first hibachi experience and he had a blast. The chef didn't just interact with the adults at the table, he made sure it was fun for him too. My grandson was absolutely fascinated with the tricks with the spatulas, catching eggs and bowls in his hat and especially when he made fire. The chef was very entertaining for all of us. The decor was very nice. My grandson liked the koi pond and watching the fish. The restaurant is nicely decorated throughout and was very clean. My daughter was pleased that they had a changing table in the restroom. Dinner starts with soup and salad, which are good. We all ordered the filet mignon for our entree and it was so tender, perfectly cooked and delicious. The fried rice, noodles and vegetables were also very good. Throughout the meal, the chef made sure to sing and do other things for my birthday. When we were done eating, the employees came out singing happy birthday and playing drums. They also gave me a cupcake. Overall we had a good and fun experience. On a side note, if you join their rewards club, you will get $25 off your meal Sunday to Thursday, and $20 on Friday and Saturday. It is good for anytime during your birthday month. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
Fun little birthday dinner experience! We had a party of 12 for our daughter's birthday. We opted for the hibachi table. The chef put on a great show and modified based on our feedback for the little kids. The portions are incredibly large! We opted to share entrees and had plenty of leftover even with sharing. The food was super flavorful. Each entree comes with small soup and salad, rice, noodles, protein of your choice, potato, veggies and shrimp. Come hungry! As expected with most hibachi type foods, it's high in sodium so just know ahead of time. It is pricy but you're basically getting 4 meals out of one entree.
Good food and fun time with Pao our chef. He delivered great service who turned into a great ambience. Kobe might be a chain but each location, each table has their own experience. And we had a great one..
We entered the restaurant and were quickly greeted and seated. We just drove up to Orlando so we were not in the mood to sit through habachi and chose to sit at a regular table. They had this great pre-fix meal deal where you get soup, salad, habachi and dessert for 40. My peers chose this deal and I can tell you- it's well worth it. It was a substantial amount of food and was tasty. I opted for the spicy tuna poke bowl as I was not that hungry. The lovely waitress- who was amazing I think her name was Twee- was nice enough to give me a salad so I wouldn't be sitting there with nothing while my peers munched. Twee was awesome- she really made the experience great. She checked in frequently and came with the bill quickly when requested. Great experience and it was good value- specially for being in a high tourist area.
Great service !!! Funny chef super great !!! Server attentive ,,, the only one thing I didn't care for was waiting to see if others would come in to fit my table of ten before being sat it was two of us the host should've offered us the bar while waiting however once we sat the experience was great ! A little pricey but I'd do it again!
This was my second time here at this restaurant. It was with high hopes to give it another chance. The food was good and our chef, Tam, did a great job entertaining us as well as cooking our hibachi meal. The restaurant is clean and is decorated in an Asian flair. The only hiccup was that we were the last two seated at the table. A total of 10 of us seated. After we were seated our table waited 40 minutes until the chef came to begin cooking our meal. Which for us wasn't as big of a deal. But, for the 3 ladies sitting next to us who had to be at work by 4pm - well, not so great. I would just recommend having enough time in case you have to wait for an extended amount of time to get your food cooked. Overall 4 stars. Again - the chef and server did a great job.
Visited in April while in town for a cruise and visit for Universal, food here was recommended as a special treat addition. We had the best cook who made the experience more fun, the food was prepared just right (had the seafood trio) and was the perfect experience. Definitely a top hibachi place in all of those that I have been to across the east coast. Highly recommend!
