I've had Kobe Hibachi before and it's always been spot on. Today I tried their other business in Galleria 7, Kobe Ramen. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Takoyaki. The food was ready quickly and was fresh. The broth was flavorful and included Chili Crisp Oil on the side if I wanted to add more zing. Also included was a delicious breaded pork cutlet. It was fried to perfection. The Takoyaki was perfectly prepared and didn't have that fishy taste that often happens at other places. The employee was incredibly friendly, and told me to come back for a to-go container if I couldn't finish my soup. It located in the back of Galleria 7 and there was ample seating and the dining area was clean and well organized. This place is worth the visit. You won't leave hungry. read more

My wife ordered a Salmon Bowl ($12.45). All the ingredients were fresh, and it was nice to have brown rice as an option. Service was quick and portion was reasonable. Definitely worth returning. Maybe the next time she said she would substitute lettuce for the rice. read more

I went to Galleria 7 recently and stopped by Kobe for some boba. I got the brown sugar boba with regular tapioca pearls. Although I didn't get any food because I had already ate, the flavors wafting from the kitchen were amazing. There was only one guy working at the time I ordered and his attentativeness and grind was admirable. The boba was yummy and a reasonable price, I would go again. read more

I ordered a sushi burrito to pick up on my way to the airport to avoid airport food. It looked really good and overall was alright. The mango and avocado complimented each other well and the gingery sauce tasted great. It was listed as having tofu but there was no tofu. Which was really disappointing since that meant it was just veggies and not as filling. There was also a random huge piece of broccoli in the middle that felt kind of like filler. Probably wouldn't get again but was likely better than anything I could have gotten at the airport. read more

For such a small space, Kobe gives you many options. I think last night, every person in our group of 7 ordered something there, with varieties ranging from a hibachi meal to appetizers, to salads, to rolls. I think everyone got their meal within about 10 minutes. I started with vegetable gyoza, which has enough to share, followed by the hibachi salmon dinner, which is a lot of food, including freshly cooked vegetables, some noodles and rice. The sushi burrito looks interesting too. You get very friendly service from behind the counter too. This place is another feather in Galleria 7's cap. read more

Updating my review from four years ago for a couple of reasons: 1. This is the "last man standing" in Galleria 7. Yes, there are four outlets also operating right now, but Kobe is the last of the early wave of places in the food court ./ mall, not quite an original tenant, but they are certainly the longest tenured now. 2. They're incredibly consistent: while it's a fairly limited and simple set of things they prepare, you can make your own custom combo hibachi dinner, they continue to use fresh veggies, there are both veggie and meat options, the noodles are good, everything is completely fine here. If it's not quite five star food, they deserve the bump up for doing what many such locations cannot -- maintain quality consistently. read more

Tasty poke bowls and hibachi combos make for a relatively inexpensive and satisfying lunch. All the bowls are under $15. Certainly worthy of lunch consideration, especially if you need a quick bite without skimping on quality. Look for it in Galleria 7 market food hall. read more

Kobe Hibachi - BYO sushi burrito: brown rice, ginger, cucumber, tofu, avocado, broccoli, cucumber & crunchy tempura. - Japanese Near Me - Latham, New York

Kobe Hibachi fills a much-needed niche in the Albany area. The menu offers a good variety of different combinations. Tuna Sushiritto- Compared to Sushirittos on the west coast, this sushiritto is very plain and lacks seasoning. But since this is upstate New York, any sushiritto is a novelty. The ingredients were very fresh and the portion size was good. Overall, I'd recommend if you're in the mood for a sushiritto but don't expect it to be like the ones from the west coast. read more

I love this place. The people are nice, the service is fast, and the food is good. It is not a sit down restaurant, but there's plenty of seating at Galleria 7. I'm not saying it's the fanciest restaurant, it's not, but it's good, fast and an excellent lunch option. Their sushi bowls are fantastic, and Ive taken several people, there are now hooked. read more

A sushi burrito is something that I've seen, heard about, but never had an opportunity to try. When I saw that Kobe Hibachi had one on the menu, I had to check it out and I was NOT disappointed! The sushi burrito was everything I imagined and more. It was full of flavors and textures and it didn't take long to get to my plate after placing my order. Another thing I like about this place is that you can see them prepare your food right in front of you. read more

Noodles, shrimp and veggies were good. Steak was chewy and fries rice had a caramel hint to it. Chicken was so gross it was inedible. Avocado rolll was ok except it was only avocado and rice, no carrots no cucumber, nothing... For the price, just not worth it read more

This was the worst Japanese I ever ate very tasteless and poor quality never going there again

Not bad for a food court-esque hibachi place! The menu is pretty limited but it is really aimed toward those who want a fairly quick and decent meal, as I assume many people who work at the offices nearby stop in frequently. The prices are a little higher than what I expected to pay for a food court meal and the portion was just right for me although my friend would not say the same. I had the hibachi salmon which included fried rice, sautéed vegetables, white rice, a creamy orange colored dipping sauce. It tasted similar to mayo but less thick in consistency....I would've preferred a ginger sauce or horseradish sauce instead. The vegetables were also cooked very lightly and could've used more flavor. The salmon was the highlight as it was complimented by the semi-sweet, brown glaze. I saw others enjoying their hibachi meal in their neat to-go box which it is served in whether or not you are dining in or taking it home. I really wanted to try the hibachi steak but not totally sure if I'd get it because it looked just like thin sliced beef...not what you'd normally get on your plate when you goto a hibachi restaurant. Overall seems like a good place to fulfill a hibachi craving if you're not looking for the show or if you are on the way back to the office! read more

Fresh hibachi within minutes. No frills, just thrills on your tastebuds. Kobe will provide you the great tasting hibachi you always wanted without the repetitive show you see at all other Japanese Steakhouses. A concise menu ensures quality food every time. I order the Hibachi Steak and Shrimp every time I go. The ginger sauce is delicious and the fried rice is addicting. Kobe is definitely a must try at the Galleria. read more

We had an absolutely horrible experience. The service was poor and the food was mediocre we won't be going back.

Great hibachi lunch special, hand wrapped spring rolls, and sushi as quick service. Might be my new favorite restaurant! It's tucked back off Troy Schenectady Rd in Latham in the Galleria 7 Market along with a wood fired pizza place, a thai rolled ice cream place, salads, smoothies, and a Hooked, the fresh fish and seafood restaurant and shop. read more

I love coming here for hibachi, they give you the experience and good food. You also get a bonus of noodles with your hibachi which other places usually don't include. The sushi here is also good and I have never had a problem with it not being fresh. They also have a wide variety and have pictures that show each sushi. read more

Another addition to the food court at Galleria7! We ordered the chicken and steak hibachi. The fried rice was quite delicious. The meat was a little tough. The vegetables were ok. Seaweed salad was $5 and that was the star of the meal for me, it was delicious! Overall portions of meat and veggies seemed small for $13 but a nice option if you want to get hibachi takeout. read more

I asked for well done and I received this. If I wanted bloody meat I could have just bite the cow.

Great place to get sashimi bowls. Delicious and fun to watch them cook! I recommend the tuna bowl and the make your own bowl. The ingredients are fresh and the quality is top notch. read more

Hibachi to go was something I never knew I was missing in my life till now. Yes I'm sure regular hibachi restaurants will do this as well but I'd never think to go through that trouble. It's quick, it's really good and the portion is substantial. All I could ask for are larger yum yum sauces, because a girl could never have too much. read more

Just got take out here tonight. All hibachi dinners. Veggies and fried rice were good. The chicken was.... sigh. Too rubbery at times- which that consistency makes my skin crawl. So, I was a little disappointed. read more

I just ate my first spicy tuna poke bowl from Kobe. Called it in and picked it up to go. They had it ready and waiting in less than the 10 mins it took me to get there. It was exactly what I was hoping it to be. Good size, fresh, spicy. Like a giant spicy tuna sushi roll. Mouth is still a bit hot even after the fact, which I like. Almost $12 buck though, a littler more than I'd like to pay for lunch most of the time but not terrible. read more

This is by far one of my places to eat, they are always so nice, friendly, and fast with making the food. The food is very fresh and delicious. You know it's a win when my picky toddler will eat it! I love the location, it's child friendly for my child to be a little wild and I don't have to worry about her breaking anything. Plus after lunch or dinner we can get ice cream right there too! Galleria 7 is over all a favorite for us, especially in those times when nobody can settle on the same thing to eat. They have pretty much everything, and more room to add. Excited to see what will be in there next! read more

I ordered one of their new spicy tuna "sashimi bowls" and really enjoyed it. For just over $10 it was fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned. Came with PLENTY of tuna, perfectly ripe avocado, cucumber, seaweed salad, crab salad, edamame, corn and rice. Personally I could have done without the crab salad and topping sauce, but I would definitely recommend for a fresh, quick lunch! read more

Their hibachi dishes, whether shrimp, chicken or salmon, are tasty and comes with an interesting and delicious ginger sauce.

I've only ever gotten the sushi burritos but they are the best! I love coming here with my family because it's in Galleria 7 so everyone gets to pick what they want to eat. The fish tastes fresh and everything just goes together perfectly. It was reasonably priced and I'm pretty sure there is more in a sushi burrito then a sushi roll so it's definitely worth it. read more

This is the second time I have been here. The first time I got Shrimp and it was fine. Today I got lunch combination Shrimp and Steak. The shrimp was again fine but the steak was not. Half the steak was not edible. I chewed a few pieces for minutes. I could not break them down enough to swallow. I thought about including pictures but decided against it. It was not inexpensive an the fact that I (anyone) could not eat one the main proteins was hard to swallow ( pun intended). The rice was ok and the gyoza was good.The person behind the counter taking orders and prepping the food in containers was babysitting a young boy. Who was near where the food was being handled. I will stick with Hooked ( in the same plaza) from now on. Very expensive but always good quality. read more

This place is quick and tasty. Definitely recommend for a quick and delicious lunch. Their ingredients are very fresh and well cooked.
