    Vegetarian burrito
    Mari M.

    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.

    Vegetable gyoza and salmon hibachi dinner
    Bill Z.

    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.

    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.

    BYO sushi burrito: brown rice, ginger, cucumber, tofu, avocado, broccoli, cucumber & crunchy tempura.

    Two words: sushi burrito. Just do it. Thank me later. I am a changed woman. Pink ginger = fresh ginger, & my oh my was the ginger pink at Kobe Hibachi!

    Tuna Sushiritto
    Jessica W.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Tri-color sushi burrito
    DJuan L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

We were a group of nine that included a few children. We went all out. The clear soup was good and flavorful. The salad was fresh and we loved the dressing. It wasn't the typical orange ginger but a light dressing. Delicious! I got the shrimp and scallop combo hibachi and I love that it comes with both rice and noodles. Lots of fresh vegetables. The scallops and shrimp were meaty and perfectly grilled. Others got steak cooked to their liking and some got salmon. Apps were edamame and a dragon roll and spicy tuna. I didn't try the apps but it was a fancy presentation. Everything was just so good. The service was impeccable. The chef was super engaging with everyone, including the littles. Hibachi is always fun and they are pros on fun. They handled our group with humor and the theatrics you've become accustomed to at hibachi dinner were on point. We went there on a Sunday, late afternoon, and it was amazing. I also got a fried ice cream for my birthday with fireworks! Thank you! The restaurant is big and can accommodate large parties. I want to go back soon! I do want to mention that the person that was paying for this birthday dinner didn't realize that gratuity was already added. They came back to give her the extra cash back that she had put in her payment. She was so grateful she still added a little extra!

Their hibachi is always delicious, fun, & entertaining. Their chefs have more than a decade of experience and their teppanyaki skills really show it. Whether you're eating solo or with a friend, or a whole group, remember that you can still take a seat in front of the hot and flaming grill. However, you can still get the hibachi meals at a regular table but won't be able to watch the show (I highly recommend watching the show and enjoying the meal at the grill). They have great lunch specials and even kid's meals for those looking to keep the kids entertained. My go-to is their HIBACHI COMBO with STEAK + SCALLOPS. The chef will most definitely cook the protein to your liking. Not all hibachi spots include both fried rice and noodles in the meal, but Sake Bon does! The carbs are so packed with garlicky soy flavor, unlike many other places I've tried (bold, umami, and addicting...no kidding). The meal is complete with a side salad topped with the creamiest ginger dressing and a clear soup loaded with the perfect amount of sliced mushrooms and an onion flavored broth. Pair it with a nice cocktail, wine, or sake... you're all set! Their apps are also very generously portioned, so it's a good idea to share. It's always a great time with friends and family at Sake Bon. Enjoy their hibachi, sushi and sashimi , rice and noodles, plus so much more. Their fish is fresh and tasty if you like sushi and sashimi. Overall a wonderful Japanese restaurant that serves delicious food and drink that will leave you happy and satisfied. So grab a seat at their bar and enjoy some drinks and apps before heading over to one of their hibachi grills or dine at a table for an intimate and exquisite dinner.

(not too sure) The tofu soup I got was mild-lightly spicy and gosh it was the spiciest soup I've ever gotten and I usually eat this and other spicy foods perfectly fine! Wasn't the best for me. Alternatively the beef soup felt a bit bland but my friend liked it. Main complaint is not much beef in the soup and it tasted very tough. alternatively not much seafood either, just tiny small bits of cheap shrimps which were a bummer. Only good thing was the decent price and decent free side dishes (not many) of which only broccoli tasted good. Food took forever to come so side dishes were a life saver although they also were never refilled which at traditional places they are. Main thing: the service was quite bad... from the moment we walked in, we didn't feel welcome as no one welcomed us, dirty tables were everywhere (like in those video games you play to clean up), and we waited awhile at the counter looking at menus until someone greeted us with an attitude yelling that counter is only for to-go and we should've just sat down if we're dining in... she huffed and sat us down, surrounded by the dirty tables. We asked if we could sit elsewhere but as big as the restaurant was, she still said half of it was closed for dinner (I know other places do the same but they were kind enough to let us sit in that area when requested) and the reason why this time, was because we were literally sitting surrounded by dirty dishes all around us - which they never cleaned up the entire hour we dined here! Very unpleasant view-never have I ever! Even our current table was sticky. And the food and service took forever. She seemed very annoyed when we ordered and whenever we asked for water or refill side dishes and gave attitude like we obviously need to wait for her to appear and be free to even ask which she was rarely seen. I never saw her treat other customers like the same way she treated us, for them, she was very patient and kind and offered menu options and even personal talk. Seems like she doesn't like tourists, just regulars. Anyways she was rarely seen throughout the meal and so I just sucked up the not so good food and we finished and took awhile to get the check. That was the only point in the interaction she seemed to be present in the restaurant. Other times she was nowhere to be seen. When paying, she loudly exclaimed what do you want to tip? In an attitude saying that, we had to tip, and it had to be a sufficient amount otherwise she'd be upset - which she was because service was not good. Even when we left and said bye, she gave us no word back and just another one of those scowled looks. Only one lady working the front and she was barely present and not pleasant. Overall food really isn't bad but it isn't amazing either. If this cuisine is what you're craving go for it, it's fairly priced. I would support a small business. But don't expect a clean restaurant or friendly service - unless youre a regular or fits the server preferred demographic. Not the best experience for me. Whole heartedly believe if service was better this could be a solid place!

The spicy dumplings were alright, the filling didn't really have enough flavor to be discernible above the chili oil coating the outside. They were tossed with fresh cucumber which was really nice. Okay, here's the tea on the bad stuff. It was really slow for a weekend night. The service was all over the place. They seem to just all work the room but there is no assigned server to your table so they have no idea what is going on. We were all served waters with our other drinks, but unfortunately one of the water glasses was broken. We gave it back to one of the servers who apologized but never came back with a new glass of water, or the additional drink someone else from our party asked for. Another server couldn't speak English which caused many other issues. We were approached several times to order food from different servers. They tried to take our menus away after ordering appetizers. Many more shenanigans ensued, it was honestly a mess. I ordered the biang biang noodles. I had to ask both servers the same questions about my meal because nobody was talking to each other and I got two completely different answers. I decided to accept the risk and order this dish anyway. I wish I hadn't, it was legitimately awful. The small slices of beef were stone cold and were inedible. There was no meat at all, it was just grizzle. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. It was like trying to chew on rubber. Awful! I pushed all the meat to the side of my dish and tried to eat around it. One of the servers asked me if I wanted a box. I told her that the meat was disgusting and just to pack the few noodles I had left on the plate. She just said "oh sorry." The ramen dish had 2 of the thinest slices of pork loin that I have ever seen! They might as well have been cold cuts. And both of those were mostly fat. They were roasted and served untrimmed. And thats all the meat that came in the Tonkotsu ramen dish, besides the 2 slices of fish cakes. What are we on rations guys?? They are very stingy with the protein here. When a place starts cutting food quality and has no self awareness of service quality you know a restaurant is struggling financially or you have an absentee owner situation. I tried to pay a portion of our meal with a gift card and the server couldn't figure out how to do that so she said that they do not accept gift cards. I paid the bill with my credit card and headed for the door. As we were walking out the door, she ran up to me and said "oh we accept gift card, my manager show me how. You can pay gift card when you come again!" I said okay and walked out the door laughing. Don't worry! We will never be back again!
