We hosted a large group event here last night (50 people), and everything was absolutely seamless from start to finish. The food and drinks were amazing--our entire group couldn't stop raving about them. Lisa and Taylor took such great care of us, staying on top of everything and making sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. The booking process was just as impressive--the events coordinator made everything incredibly easy and stress-free, which we really appreciated. Overall, our group was beyond happy with the experience, and we will definitely be back! read more

The food here is amazing. So delicious. Truly great meal. Highly recommend it for a fantastic dining experience.

Kauboi has a cool atmosphere and a great place to "be seen" in Scottsdale. The menu is a trendy fusion of Japanese and quality steaks. I would visit again for the music and fun outdoor ambiance. The servers were a bit pushy to spend more money when we really only wanted some small bites and cocktails. She was also a bit annoyed after we asked if anything could be done for not receiving our wagyu skewers for 1 hour. We were already ready to leave when they finally arrived. read more

It was a wonderful, special night. The moment you walk in, the ambience overwhelms you. The use of indoor/outdoor space is amazing and the people watching is a close second. We'd walked in a few months earlier, and earmarked it as "A birthday kind of place". You feel like you've stepped into heaven. So, for my birthday we planned accordingly and went there last night. Taylor was a wonderful server. Our drinks took a little longer than she would have liked, and I could tell by her demeanor. Still, it was a blessing because we were able to take in the entire energy of this magnificent restaurant. When she came back, she encouraged us to place our entire order. At first, I was concerned as we wanted the night to last. But she assured me that nothing would be rushed, and she was correct. We ordered the chicken thigh and scallop skewer. Man! These were amazing!!! The presentation fantastic on a little coal stove and the taste was out of this world. I'd be happy just enjoying a few skewers for dinner sometime. My old fashioned was also wonderful. Then the rest of our meal arrived. The Bone in Ribeye, wagyu fried rice and mushrooms. All, just amazing. The fried rice topped the list for me. Just as we started eating, I felt an unexpected raindrop that had not been in the forecast. We ran inside with everyone else. And what a gift it turned out to be. Although we adored our table in heaven outside, we now had a completely different vantage point being in this hip and trendy bar that was stunning in every way. And despite the chaos, the service remained exemplary. Taylor asked if we needed anything else, and I merely asked if they had any bread. I was uncertain with it being a Japanese steakhouse if indeed they had rolls or bread. Well, even though the kitchen was wrapping up for the night (it was close to midnight), she managed to get me one of the most decadent things I've ever tasted. The Japanese Milk Bread. WOW!!! It was a magical night and will remember it for many years to come. read more

It was our first time at Kauboi and it will definitely not be our last. What a great addition to Old Town Scottsdale. Taylor our waitress was fantastic. I have to be gluten free so she walked me through the menu on what we could order and she also confirmed with the chef to ensure I had a wonderful dinner. We chose the chicken thigh and scallops yakitori which was delicious and perfect to split for the 2 of us. For dinner we shared the ribeye, wagyu fried rice and the mushrooms. It was so delicious and the presentation was amazing. The waygu came out sizzling and was placed on the rice at our table. Our table was outside on the patio which was so beautiful. It started to rain after our food was served so everyone was rushed inside. So our second table was in the indoor lounge which was equally beautiful. We feel like we had 2 unique meals in the same evening. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner and was blown away. We tried items off the small plate menu and enjoyed everything. I also had a mocktail that was absolutely perfect. I loved the decor and got the chance to walk around the oudooor area which was lovely. Definitely the perfect place to celebrate any special occasion. Service was slow to start but seemed to be okay afterwards. read more

I'm way overdue for writing a review for one of my absolute favorite spots in Scottsdale. Kauboi, located inside the Remi Hotel, is more than just a restaurant--it's an experience. From the stunning city views to the beautiful landscaping and vibrant atmosphere, every visit feels elevated. The sushi and drink menu is extensive, with both cocktails and mocktails that are as visually impressive as they are delicious. It's the kind of place where you can sip something fancy and actually enjoy every drop. Dinner has always been amazing. I've been there 11 times and have yet to be disappointed. I usually sit outside, either at a table or in the lounge areas, which really adds to the overall vibe. Some of my personal favorites: the bone-in ribeye, garlic soy edamame, togarashi-dusted fries, smoked sweet potatoes, and BBQ carrots--each dish consistently hits. My friends swear by the wagyu fried rice served in a clay pot and the whole fried snapper. The only miss for me was the chocolate chip cookies dessert--but honestly, it may have just been an off day because everything else has been flawless. Service is also worth highlighting. Lisa and Teron ("T") have both taken great care of us--attentive, knowledgeable, and always on point with recommendations. Kauboi continues to deliver every single time. If you're looking for a place that combines great food, atmosphere, and service, this is it. read more

I'm gonna be honest kauboi blew me away!!! I loved how thoughtfully designed the space was. I highly recommend grabbing a table outside it's gorgeous. We decided to do seafood only which was the best decision ever! The grilled prawns with that spicy chili sauce was really fresh and juicy with every bite. I loved it. The tuna rice was delicious that had a little spicy sauce on the bottom. I really enjoyed it. The sashimi was seriously some of the best I've ever had. The Ponzu sauce at the bottom only brought out the flavors of the fish more. It was so good!! they had the deck open, so even though I was sitting outside and was able to enjoy the outside atmosphere which I really appreciated. I will be back. read more

My first time coming here for dinner with a few friends. We made dinner reservations for 830pm but we didn't get sat till around 9pm. It didn't seemed too busy in there on a Saturday night. The ambience and decor was very nice. It was really dark inside. Had a little hard time reading the menu. We each had a few cocktails and a few appetizers for the table. Spicy Cucumber salad - I thought it was a little salty Bluefin Tuna crispy rice - this was very good Hamachi sashimi- I enjoyed this as well Spicy tempura shrimp - was pretty good as well Overall was a good experience I would come again and try other items on the menu. read more

Kauboi - Fried whole snapper - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We had a lovely time here. It's a nice vibe, upbeat but low lights, nice presentation. Service was excellent. The guy was very nice, seemed very nervous the whole time, but I'm not sure why, we didn't have any issues. We ordered lots of different things because everything sounded so good. Japanese milk toast with miso and honey butter. OMG. It was the fluffiest, dreamiest toast. You get 3 thicc slices with an ample amount of honey butter. The balance of flavors was excellent. You get depth and umami the miso, sweetness from the honey. I could have eaten a whole additional order. It's a bread lover's dream. For the small plates: We tried the shishito peppers, and crispy pork belly. Do not skip the crispy pork belly. If you like getting crispy pork belly at dim sum, it's better here. It was tender, flavorful and had the perfect crisp to it. I wish I got more than one plate of it. Like, if you go with friends, everyone should get their own. They served it with chili XO sauce, togarashi salt and honey mustard. I tried it with all 3 together and it was like fireworks. Chef's kiss definitely. Cooked perfectly, not overly salty. Yasssss. Shishito peppers were served with the perfect amount of sauce, and they had the stems cut off, which I like them prepped that way. So good. Anytime I get sushi, I get shishito peppers if they're available. Super tasty. The sauce wasn't too overbearing so you still tasted the flavor of the peppers. 7/10 Yakitori: it's a hard choice, there's so many options. I chose the Hokkaido scallop only because we were trying so many different things. 2 pieces come on the skewer and they bring a whole binchotan grill to the table to serve it. It tasted fresh and the flavors were simple, served with the XO sauce. Definitely would eat that again. I wish I got a pork belly skewer too. 9/10 Sushi: Yuzu Verde roll Tempura fried lobster, with cucumber, avocado, yuzu and green salsa. The lobster was cooked perfectly. It was a very nice combination, bright and fresh tasting. The green salsa was unexpected with tempura fried lobster but very good. We didn't even need soy sauce and wasabi. 8/10 Wagyu fried rice in a clay pot- Presentation was lovely. They brought a hot stone with the Wagyu short rib slices and finished the cooking at the table. It was good, but...not $48 good. I like my fried rice a little drier, this was more "wet" bc it was saucier. While it wasn't gross, it was seasoned decently but it was mid. 6/10 We got dessert to go, the kauboi chocolate chip cookies. They were good and chocolatey and came with a "Mexican hot chocolate" which was like a chocolate dipping sauce with cinnamon. You get 2 big cookies approximately 6" in diameter. They were pretty standard tasting for chocolate chip cookies. They were $20, which I don't think they were worth that price, $16 would be a better price point for what you get imo. 7/10 All in all, I'll definitely be back. The standouts: Crispy pork belly, 10/10; Japanese milk toast 9.5/10, read more

This is a newer restaurant in Old Town at the Remi Hotel. I went on a Friday night and it was quite busy which to make me think it was a really good restaurant! I arrived and we had to put a credit card in to reserve a table (not my favorite thing) and we had to wait about 10 mins or so until our table was ready. The service was 7/10 as the waiter might have had some bias towards us since we were a younger group of girls who were ordering a ton of food. The wagyu top cut was the best thing we ordered- it was $95 and definitely worth the price. We ordered a few drinks and one of them came with quite an experience in which we weren't expecting! The drink came out on a plate with dry ice! Worth a try if you are in old town, it's a good upper class Asian fusion restaurant! read more

Hubby surprised me and took me here for our wedding anniversary dinner. Super romantic setting inside with dim lighting and the views of the sunset from the outside bar/terrace were incredible! We were sat in a cozy corner booth before being greeted by Tiarnan -- whom was absolutely spectacular right from the gate! He explained the menu to us, reviewed drinks and the most popular cocktails, as well as what my fave spirits were to tailor preferences to those. He also asked if we had any allergies to avoid, which is always a kind touch in my book! We started with the Japanese milk toast which was phenomenal and for mains, I had the Tombstone roll with wagyu, caviar and gold flakes while my hubby got the 8oz wagyu top cap with a side of fries. Our food was so amazing, and I NEVERRRR eat leftovers -- esp not sushi however I ate that roll UP!!! literally so good and one of the best rolls I've ever had. We will definitely be back for another date night and another big thank you to Tiarnan for the outstanding and phenomenal service and for making our second year wedding anniversary so special! read more

8.22.25 - our group decided to check out this place after leaving Global Ambassador. Instantly loved the ambiance here. It's dark and vibey with good music. We were seated in a lounge area with a bar. Our waitress was nice and got our orders in pretty quickly. We ordered some drinks, 2 rolls and yakitori. For drinks, we ordered Shishito Sour and The Outlaw. Our drinks were pretty good! Would order again. I believe the guys ordered tequila sodas. I can't remember the names of the rolls that one of the guys ordered. They were alright though. I would've ordered other stuff. I didn't try the yakitori so unsure if that was good. I'll have to try different items from the menu the next time I'm back. The only thing I didn't like was that Valet for the hotel is $30!!! Park around the corner somewhere read more

Came here with a big group so We did family style which I highly recommend. When I opened up the menu there was probably 20 options that caught my eye so luckily we tried a lot. First off the pork ribs were great. Fell off the bone and a hint of sweetness. The wagyu fried rice was amazing. It's served in a stone pot and is a good size portion. The ribeye was fire. It was bone in and had just the right amount of fat. My favorite was the wagyu skirt steak. It came with 3 types of salt to put on top. My favorite was the spicy salt( can't remember the name) but it was fire. If you're looking for a cool experience try the sushi boat. They cover it with dry ice so it's a really cool experience. The sushi was unique and had a lot of options. For dessert we tried the cookie, matcha tres leches cake and the shaved ice. All were amazing. The service is super attentive and friendly and love the western asian style of the restaurant .Definitely come check this place out! read more

Kauboi - Jasmine infused gin with egg white - Whiskey Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

If I had to describe my dining experience last weekend, I'd say disappointing. Went with a group of 11 for a birthday dinner and was blown away by the ambiance. When I say stunning, I mean... WOW On to the disappointment... Almost all of us had a complaint about our food. I ordered sushi and fries. I got my sushi first and tried to hold off on eating it as I thought my fries were on the way. After about 30 minutes I had no choice but to eat the sushi which by then was freezing. Smh I asked the server and she said the fries were coming out with the steaks. I asked her why they were coming out with the steaks, I didn't order a steak nor did I order fries as an entree. I canceled them and starved the rest of the night. Let me just say the steaks literally took 2 hours to come out and were described as "fatty" and "missing something". My husband ordered a side of scallops to go with his rice. We never received them. They ended up on someone else's plate. The server offered to throw them back on the stove to warm them. Let me say it a different way - the server offered to take the scallops off of the plate of the guest who incorrectly received them. They'd been sitting on her plate at least 30 minutes being talked over and spit on. Put the spit on scallops back on the stove to cross contaminate anything else and then serve them to my husband. Not on my watch. How disgusting and unsanitary. My cousin and his lady received undercooked steak and lamb. Now, in all fairness, their food came on a stove that was supposed to continue cooking it. And it would have, had they been given a hot stove. The birthday girl didn't receive the fried rice she ordered and ended up eating some from a friend's plate. We were there for 3 or so hours. Two of those hours were spent waiting on subpar food. Another beautiful restaurant with poor service and mid food. They've been open too long for these kind of mistakes read more

We had a luxurious and beautiful birthday celebration at Kauboi, the new Japanese steakhouse inside the Remi Hotel in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale. The interior design inside the hotel is breathtaking including this wonderful clean scent. The hotel as well as the surrounding businesses are all run and owned by Riot Hospitality Group. The theme behind Kauboi is the combination of cowboy and Japanese culture. There's a large mural over the bar which depicts a cowboy (Clint Eastwood?) with moving parts created by a projector (smoke from a gun and a train). We were well taken care of by our server Lisa and our busser who made sure we had the best experience! Our dishes included: Japanese Milk Toast Kanpachi Nigiri Saguaro Roll (soft shell crab, tuna) Crispy chicken wings Grilled Kauboi ribs Wagyu short rib skewer Corn on the cob Head on blue prawn Kakigori (shaved ice dessert) Matcha tres leches cake Robata Yuzu olive oil cake Kauboi chocolate chip cookies Overall the majority of the dishes were a solid good being that it was only their second week. We learned that their robata grill is outside and our ribs arrived cold, I'm not sure if it's because it just took awhile for it to be brought in. Our favorite was the Japanese milk toast and Wagyu short rib skewer. But the standout of the evening was their top tier hospitality, definitely on brand. A few other notes: Kauboi is on the 3rd floor of the hotel. There is a dress code. There is no kids menu, but we did bring our 6yo son who enjoyed some of the food. Valet is available, but there is also nearby free street parking. In the back of Kauboi, there is also a whiskey room which is $100/person. On the outside, there is a beautiful patio and cabanas. All in all, we loved going there for dinner and enjoyed a new experience! read more

We had high expectations. The service was awesome, they had a dj which wasn't needed but added to ambience. We had drinks, starters, mains and a desert. The food was very good with the milk toast and sushi standing out. The yakitori Wagyu was okay but not astounding. I'm giving this a four for several reasons, the lighting was so dim we needed our phones to read the menus, the DJ played music from ages past but mixed with modern beats and therefore ruining the classics. Lastly, the waygu meats didn't live up to expectations. Naomi our waitress was the bomb and the primary reason for four and not three stars read more

Located on the 3rd floor of the new Remi Hotel in Old Town Scottsdale, Kauboi is a beautiful and upscale Japanese steakhouse. Valet service is available, though there's also street parking nearby. Reservations are highly recommended, and the dress code is clearly outlined on both their website and in your confirmation message. The restaurant has a refined, modern aesthetic -- warm wood accents, greenery, and a masculine elegance throughout. In the evenings, the large glass doors open to connect the main dining room with the outdoor bar and patio, giving the space an open, vibrant feel. The food was excellent. I especially enjoyed the spicy cucumber and the crispy rice with tuna -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully executed. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. After dinner, we moved out to the patio bar, where a spectacular lightning show lit up the sky in the distance. Staff was mindful of safety, but it was an unforgettable backdrop that only added to the ambiance of the evening. Kauboi is a welcome new addition to Scottsdale's dining scene -- refined, memorable, and worth reserving a night for. read more

The outside part of the restaurant was very pretty and felt like a place you'd see reality shows filmed at. Very hip. Though we were a big group, the service was attentive, and they switched plates and utensils between course and kept water refilled. The corn with crab and the kimchi fried rice were standouts. The Kyoto pop and samurai soda mocktails were great. read more

The food is delicious I will say that. It's the service that's a little slow. Maybe it's the hostess fault for not notifying the server? Or possibly too busy. Other than the service being slow our servers were fríendly. We had a 5 people in our group and shared a lot of delicious dishes. Highly recommend the tombstone roll with Wagyu on top & the Waygu Egg Fried Rice in the Clay pot! read more

An absolutely incredible experience! The atmosphere and ambiance are amazing. The cocktails and food were spectacular. I also appreciate that they are willing to accommodate for a gluten free diet. My personal favorites were the desert heat roll, hamachi, A5 wagyu hot stone, and wagyu fried rice! The service was top notch - thank you to our waitress, Lisa and Chef Gilberto! And a huge shout out to all the managers (Jeffrey, Danielle, Randy)! I cannot recommend Kauboi highly enough! read more

5-Star Review for Kauboi Japanese Western Sushi & Steakhouse - Scottsdale, AZ What a phenomenal experience at Kauboi -- and yes, it is truly an experience, not just a dinner. From the moment we were greeted, Klajd and PJ delivered exceptional service with attention to every detail, making us feel welcome, cared for, and completely at ease. Jeremiah was the magician behind the bar -- his cocktails were thoughtful, unique, and presented like works of art. The Jasmine Blossom, served on a miniature Japanese garden with dry ice fog gently rolling over the table, was an absolute showstopper both in flavor and visual presentation. We began our culinary journey with a refreshing light salad and the Japanese Milk Toast -- my date's first time trying it, and she described it perfectly in one word: heavenly. The crispy rice balls were perfect bites of texture and flavor, and the skewers (sweet potato, short ribs, and mushrooms) were served hibachi-style at the table -- smoky, tender, and perfectly seasoned. For entrees, we enjoyed the salmon and pork katsu -- both beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. Every bite brought happiness to all our taste buds. Dessert? Let's just say it was the mic drop moment -- massive warm gooey chocolate chip cookies served with a velvety Mexican hot chocolate dipping sauce. Unforgettable. The atmosphere is intimate, warm, and beautifully designed -- with upscale Western-style uniforms, indoor/outdoor bars, and a cozy patio. You can even watch the chefs cooking over traditional Japanese coals -- a true nod to authenticity without the heavy smoke of western BBQs. Kauboi absolutely nailed it. For a new spot, the staff is polished, knowledgeable, and passionate. A perfect date night spot -- we're already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for a memorable night! read more

We loved our experience at Kauboi. This upscale restaurant has a perfect balance between elegance and a comfortable, business-casual vibe. I appreciated seeing guests dressed beyond the stated business casual standard--elevating the overall feel of the evening. The ambiance is entertaining and lively, making it a great spot for date nights or special dinners. I absolutely loved the presentation of my cocktail. I had the Chilean sea bass, and it was absolutely delicious. It melted in my mouth and was incredibly flavorful. I'm bummed I didn't take a picture of it. My husband felt his steak was good but not up to the upscale standard we expected from the menu. We had the Dark chocolate mousse for dessert which was divine! It was rich, silky, and a perfect finish to the meal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and we will be back again. read more

You've probably seen Kauboi in Scottsdale all over your feed -- and I can confirm, it's worth the hype. We started with the Wagyu tartare and the bluefin tuna over crispy rice. Both were delicious, but the tuna was the clear winner for me -- buttery soft and super easy to eat. The surprise standout? The crab elote. It's a fancy twist on a classic street corn, but still packed with flavor and unlike the usual versions you see everywhere else. The Wagyu fried rice deserves its own spotlight. Served sizzling in a clay pot with soy-cured egg yolk and tender Wagyu short rib, it was rich, savory, and downright addictive. And of course, we had to get the tomahawk steak. Yes, the fire show was fun, but the steak itself held up -- perfect sear, medium rare inside, and paired with different salts and sauces. The Kizami chimichurri stole the show with its fresh, Asian-inspired flavor. Overall, every dish we tried was a hit. The food, the presentation, and the experience all lived up to the hype. I'd 100% come back. read more

An upscale Japanese steakhouse inside of the Remi hotel. It's located on the third floor with a business casual dress code. It's hybrid inside with a large patio and bar. It reminded me of the since closed Donabe restaurant that was previously located in the W hotel nearby. I started off with oysters and wagyu tartare, both were delicious with a nice presentation. I then ordered the wagyu New York strip which melted in the mouth. I ordered the wagyu skirt steak (rare), it came with three different seasonings and a pepper that had some bite. I wrapped it up with a yuzu verde roll that had the "cowboy' theme with chile salsa verde. Overall it was a good experience. The appetizers stood out as my favorites over the entrees. The restaurant was beautiful inside. I went earlier in the day when they first opened and it was pretty empty, but I imagine at night it would be loud and vibrant especially with the nightclubs nearby. read more

I came for my birthday and I'd never felt so unwelcome. My whole party was profiled by hotel security when they arrived. I have never had front desk security ask "what are you here for? What's the name on the reservation?" You are not the hostess. You wouldn't know. Why would you not say "Welcome to the Remi, can I help you find where you're going?" The immediate hostile nature made my guests feel like they didn't belong there. I wish we would have just left. Then I really don't understand why hostesses won't seat you until the whole party is there. You don't have parking; people are bound to be late. We had a reservation for 5 and didn't get sat until 5:30. We could have started ordering at our table immediately. We were delayed but okay I guess. We spent over $700 on a dinner for six and I can't say that anything was memorable enough to bring us back. Our fried rice was mushy, the steak was average, the vegetables on the side were smoked dry, and none of the drinks had alcohol in them. If I order three drinks at dinner for $20 a pop I expect at least a slight buzz. Our waiter was sweet. The welcome left us a poor taste in our mouths. I've never been treated like that in Scottsdale. read more

I've been here a couple times now. Service is good, have always been sat on time. It can get really busy, hard to reach your server but this is a place you're not rushing. Had a few of their sides and they aren't impressive really, specifically the corn. The hot pot wagyu fried rice is definitely something to always order. It's so savory and tastes just as good the next day. Their fried snapper is a must try; crispy, tender, falls apart and comes with sauces. chefs kiss on that. The Tomahawk Ribeye was indeed so tender, juicy and melt in your mouth, can share with 3 people, however it comes at over $300+. Idk, what do you guys think? But it is an experience. The negative I have on Kauboi, is their pricing on cocktails; a glass of wine @ $27 just seems excessive, especially compared to nearby similar establishments. And their lack of dessert. There is nothing outstanding on the menu. One option is similarly a breakfast açaí bowl. I was hoping for indulgent & decadent. However, the vibe & ambiance is fun, pretty and so Miami. It's not a place I'd frequent unless maybe celebratory. read more

Also, tried the wagyu tartar, the ribs and the cookies. All fantastic! But the star of the show has to go to the service. More specifically, Brayden at the patio bar.

I recently had the chance to dine at Kauboi in Scottsdale and the entire experience was top tier, but what really stood out was our server, Tiarnan. From the moment we sat down, Tiarnan brought great energy, professionalism, and attention to detail that made the night even better. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, gave solid recommendations, and made sure everything moved smoothly from start to finish. It felt like he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. What stood out most was how attentive he was without being overbearing. He stayed on top of everything and made sure we had what we needed before we even had to ask, which made a big difference. Kauboi already has an awesome atmosphere, but Tiarnan is a big reason we will be coming back. If you go, I highly recommend asking for him. read more
