    My wife went to western, we came in here while visiting for a football game. Super clean, amazingly kind service, very good prices, high quality food, great music, just overall a great experience!

    A group of friends and I visited Kobe Express while in Sylva. The prices on the menu are great! I ordered the egg rolls and the steak and mushroom hibachi with mushrooms and broccoli. When I first ordered the egg rolls, they came out frozen on the inside. So glad I didn't bite into it. The waitress was super friendly to get the egg rolls right and fried fresh ones for us. The portion sizes here are pretty large, and the food comes out fast.

    Great food. Portions were a good size. We paid $50 for the two rice/meat meals with one sushi. The sauces were great and flavorful as well.

    I eat at Kobe's a couple times a month. The food is always good. I love the shrimp tempura roll and the California roll but sometimes skip the sushi and grab a plate of hibachi chicken. 9 times out of 10 the service is great there have been a few times I have visited that I haven't been sat a clean table or our drinks haven't been refilled other than that I enjoy eating at Kobe's.

    You get what you pay for. The food is okay for a college town with not many options. Not much else to say about it.

    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.

    I was there on a Friday and sat at the bar. They have a $3 PBR cans special on Fridays so I had…read moresome a couple of those. I ordered the pickle brined chicken sandwich. It normally comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and special sauce. I didn't want a mayonnaise based sauce....trying to cut some calories since I'm already having a deep fried sandwich! I instead got a smear of buffalo hot sauce which was a really good substitute. The sandwich was super crisp and spicy. Very good! My only gripe is that when I get a sandwich at a restaurant, I expect some type of side dish. It could be a small amount of fries or some potato chips but something. R&R has lots of good sides so they could offer some free fries but then encourage up charge sides for one of their delicious options like their truffle fries. Ive eaten there a few times and each time, very consistent, good food!! Bartender Chynna was very nice. Bar was getting busy but she handled everyone efficiently and friendly.

    Stopped in for lunch and we were seated promptly and greeted by our waitress. We had iced tea and…read moreour waitress suggested several favorites for lunch. I had the burger and fries and my wife had the Korean Steak Bowl. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the meal. The crowd was minimal and the restaurant was fairly quiet everything was clean and we will go back in the future.

I mentioned to her that I had the regular crust pizza before Melissa immediately put my order in for a regular pizza and she walked over and gave instructions to the pizza creators I was truly impressed with Mellisa's warm caring disposition given to me with ease I felt with the return and re-ordered Melissa has outstanding customer service skills. That's a rarity today to show compassionate, empathy and going out of her way to make sure my meal was superb quality. I noticed that she was well-dressed professionally with a pleasant voice when she spoke I took in the pleasure to know that 'values' exist through Melissa's disposition was a wonderful experience with an uncomfortable situation of returning a pizza already consumed one slice by me Melissa made an exchange with ease given a warm memorable smile I am wholeheartedly grateful for her assistance this evening Thank You for the positive experience J Motyka
