Was trying to figure out what to pick up for dinner and we had never been to Kobe so we decided to…read moreorder it to-go. 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.

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.

Best fast food Japanese restaurant anywhere near Asheville! Seriously, everything I have had here…read moreis fantastic! Better than most Japanese steakhouses I have been to, and half the price. This time I had the teriyaki chicken, the meat was perfectly tender and moist, not dried out like some, and broccoli was perfect cooked with just a little bit of crunch left. I should mention that i absolutely love rare stake, and this is the only fast food Japanese restaurant to ever get my order right! I normally have to pay $25 or more to get properly rare teriyaki steak, but here it is only $15, and I swear you get much more and it's better than most steakhouse. The service is excellent as well actually some of the best I have had in a long time. The staff are all very friendly and happy to accommodate requests when possible. And most importantly, for me, they are attentive and kept my drink full! A rare find indeed! The restaurant is small but very clean with a reasonable dining room. Plenty of tables for 2-6 people, but maybe check if you want to bring 10 or more. Over all it is a relaxing place with wonderful food, good prices, and great service!
