   If I could leave less no stars or negative stars for this restaurant I would! We had a 7:00 reservation and didn't get seated till 7:45. We didn't even get served (from a beyond nasty waitress) until 8:15. This was for my daughter's birthday and we had 3 other kids with us. The chef was horrible and did nothing for the FUN Hibachi experience. He just cooked the food. The whole thing was disappointing. Then the waitress added a 18% tip on to the bill and was annoyed I didn't give any extra. I WOULDNT EVEN OF GIVEN THAT! We will never go back again. $300 down the drain for a fun Birthday experience.

   Thank you for your feedback. At Kobe Steakhouse we value our customers' feedback and we constantly look for opportunities to improve our customers' overall dining experience. The service Charge is the service fee that is automatically added to your bill for the convenience of services. It is also considered a gratuity and will be shared to the waitstaff (including chef, server, assistant server and other involved departments) If the service is not up to your standard or at any time you wish to remove the service charge, please feel free to ask our management team to remove it for you. The Service Charge is never mandatory!

   Our chef Juan was a bit of a disappointment. No flare no fun and the food was not that tasty.

   Fantastic night. Maya the Server and Coco the Chef were an excellent combination. The best food we've had there, and wonderful service. Drinks continuously refilled and all requests met.

    Good hibachi restaurant with typical menu offerings. Servings are very generous and fresh. Tables are for 10 guests. Service was a bit slow this visit. Once meal is completed,it was obvious that we should leave the table. Overall, a good experience.
