   Kings of Kobe is a must-visit for any meat lover. The quality of the Wagyu beef is exceptional, the beef just melts in your mouth, and the AYCE deal is an incredible value. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff. The only change I would like is that instead of the mac and cheese balls, a salad was an option on the AYCE. I highly recommend this place for a memorable dining experience.

   We had researched places to eat in NYC whilst on holiday there and Kings of Kobe had cropped up often. It was walking distance from Timesquare, so a great location. The food did not disappoint! The whole evening, from suggetsions, comversations with staff and then the amazing food blew us away. We were so glad we found this beautiful restaurant and their amazing food.

   Nothing to write home to mom about. They serve sirloin and ribeye full of fat. I honestly don't think anything we were served was Wagyu. Waste of time and money.

   Hi Engin: I am very disappointed you didn't enjoy the steaks that so many rave about daily. I wish you had mentioned this to your server or to any of our managers. All our beef in the restaurant is premium Wagyu. We wish you a great weekend and hope you try us again.

   I love Kings of Kobe. Every menu item is delicious. Unlike most restaurants, KOK thrived during the pandemic because of their excellent food and attentive staff. When I was recovering from surgery, they were there bringing me delicious meals and a place to dine in with friends. Highly recommend.

   Me and my husband really like coming here. We came for burgers since we enjoyed them so much last time we were here. But now they added a new selections of Wagyu steaks and my husband couldn’t resist. It was so delicious. Food and service was on point.

   Hi Marcia: thank you very much for joining us. However, I am a bit confused here ... you came in for lunch, "food was tasty, service attentive" according to you ... so why the bad rating? very curious .. would love to hear from you if you mind sharing more details

    I found Kings of Kobe on Instagram and thought it would be a perfect place to celebrate a birthday. I chose this spot for the steak, but looking around when we dined in, it looks like people come for their burgers more. It is a little on the pricier end, but won’t break the bank for special occasions. My boyfriend ordered his steak medium, and the initial edge pieces made it appear to be cooked properly, but as he ate into the center, it was clearly closer to well done. We debated whether we should say anything, and ultimately he decided that he wanted to - it’s his birthday after all! So we alerted our server who called over a manager, who agreed that the steak was not cooked to request. He arranged for a whole new entree including the side, which did come as ordered. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with a full bar on one side, and restaurant seating on the other. There was a group of 6 when we were there, and they were enjoying themselves (nothing against that!), but this is obviously not an establishment for that *intimate* feeling, unless you get lucky and your reservation is during a quieter time. We really appreciated the service, and if we do come back, we would try other burgers! One small thing I wanted to mention is that I noted in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and while not expected, it would have been a nice gesture if it was acknowledged (even a simple “happy birthday” would have sufficed).
