    When you are in the Smoky Mountains (NC) you can only eat so much BBQ. I know it is hard to believe, but for me it is true. To our surprise, Kobe Express had some very fresh sushi and very tasty calamari. I have had the opportunity to eat her twice over the last month and I have not be disappointed with the food. With us still being in COVID times, it was not surprising to have everything delivered in to-go containers. Sure hope we will return to table service pre-COVID style. The reason I gave three stars was not the food, but was the service. Our first time eating here was good service, but this last time it seemed like we were bothering the waitress. I guess everyone can have a bad day, but it always makes a more pleasant dining experience when both the patrons and wait staff are happy. Also makes for greater tips!

    Pulling up you would never expect such amazing dishes to exit this facility. I'm proof that the food was beyond tasty. Due to Covid-19 it's drive thru only. A lot of the restaurants in the area were closed and we lucked up on this place. I got my food in a timely manner and it was extremely hot and fresh. Trust me guys, the food was exquisite! Just give it a try.

    Stopped by for a quick take out dinner. Hibachi steak and chicken were delicious. Love that they use carrots instead of zucchini.

    We decided to try this restaurant on a mid Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was about half full…read moreof customers, and the sanitation rating was a 94.5%. We were allowed to sit anywhere, and we didn't wait long for a server. Wanting to try several dishes, we chose the pad thai, the ginger pepper beef, and the red curry with chicken. We also ordered some alcohol, my wife wanting to try a particular wine. A sample was brought, but it wasn't very good, it tasted as if the bottle was old, as if it had been opened multiple days ago. We commented on this to ourselves. My wife ordered a full glass of a different wine. Our server brought the entire bottle of that wine over to open it and pour it, in what I would describe as a purposeful but unnecessary gesture of showing that it was a fresh bottle. My wife made a comment about the type of corkscrew she tended to prefer while the server was pulling the cork, and the server's response came across as unnecessarily abrasive. Our food came out fast, and the portions were good sized. The pad thai was tasty, well made. The red curry was not very good, it had a very unusual vegetable blend and the sauce was very watery. The ginger pepper steak and its vegetables had a decent flavor but several of the meat pieces seemed to be partially made of what I can only describe as gooey gelatin, independent of the sauce the dish was cooked in. Very off-putting. All three dishes were decently warm when they hit the table but not piping hot, and as a result they were lukewarm or cold fairly quickly. Later on I observed our server helping another server clear a table and our server made a definitive and unmistakable head gesture towards our table. Overall she seemed very tense, only checking on us occasionally. Her lack of care was emphasized when she checked by our table and we told her we were done with a half-eaten red curry and she did not question whether there was anything wrong. Overall a negative experience, and we will not be returning.

We had made a reservation previously and were sat immediately when we arrived. From beginning to end, everything was absolutely fantastic. I started with the sake flight and my husband had the whiskey flight. For our meals, we decided to do the tasting meal so we would have a variety of foods. Both the drinks and food were beyond exceptional. I couldn't tell you my favorite dish because everything was just so good. Even though the portions were small, by the time we left, we were absolutely stuffed. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to celebrate something special, or want a great experience. I'm definitely going to tell friends and family they should visit as well.

The restaurant is just beautiful and seating capacity is great--inside and outside. If weather is nice and permitting outside, you get a beautiful view of the mountains. The interior has a full bar and modern-decor. The menu features lots of creative fusion dishes. I enjoyed the avocado salad more than I expected. Maybe it was the ginger lemon dressing. It's light and filling. The ramen bowls are rich and the miso vegetarian Ramen is much more bold, flavorful than I had expected. The carrots and roots were caramelized with a sweetened hint. The ramen bowls are generous in size. I'm bookmarking this place to come back!!! The waitresses gave us several recommendations and her shows through her service and her recommendations of local shops to explore after our dinner.

We couldn't find a menu for the Sylva location but for one for another location in the area and that seemed to work. I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp & Steak Hibachi with no broccoli and subbed rice for Soba Noodles. I was a little odd that they didn't ask how I wanted my steak cooked since that in normally with most hibachi restaurants. Once our food was picked up I will say it was a pretty big serving. My shrimp were bigger then the normal shrimp but not by much. But the shrimp and steak had good flavor and I was a fan of the mushrooms it came with. I will say the serving of the Soba Noodles was on the smaller side though. The carrots seemed like they were just boiled and chopped up. Most likely were not cooked on a flat top and have never little flavor. Thank god for Shrimp Sauce right. Prices were similar wo what you get from most hibachi restaurants but did think the quality holds up to others. They also didn't have any Soy Sauce to go which was also odd. Would maybe come back if I was really craving Hibachi but most likely would not be my first pick.
