Came to meet some friends and surprised with odd service first off to order took over 15 minutes before server came. Then all orders were wrong or bad quality! Salad was good but dressing is very sweet, miso soup though was really good. Our table ordered 2 filet minon and shrimp (one came as steak not filet, after some discussion they just brought a side a filet minon). Sushi came at least 10 minutes later (one roll was completely wrong and we just asked for it to be just be removed from bill) I got sushi with tuna and avocado. Avocado was so ripe it was inedible. Both rolls were not well done! We went because it used to be my friends, favorite hibachi and sushi restaurant. We were very disappointed. It was dark. It was borderline dirty, and I just wouldn't go back. read more

We came for happy hour but quickly discovered all our usual people were gone and that they were under new management. Will not be back. Edited: Come to find out that happy hour is GONE, no more specials, no more Italian food, no more 2 for 1 drinks, new management as stated. Got our rolls wrong and put imitation crab in rolls where it wasn't listed as an ingredient. Sushi was sloppy and falling apart every time we picked some up with our chopsticks, cooked rolls were cold and oil from the deep fryer was old and tasted old and gross. read more

My favorite Sushi in the area, and it rivals top sushi in all of the United States. I've never experienced sushi so delicious. Each piece is hand-crafted to perfection, and the sushi chef is A+. This place deserves your visit, and you will not leave disappointed. Truly an exceptional place to eat top notch sushi read more

Went here for the 1st time on Wednesday May 14th 2025 with my parents. We were looking for some dinner nearby the holiday inn express that we were staying at. This was within walking distance, and my dad wanted pizza, so we tried here. Note: this is also called CDB Pizza/Kobe's Italian. Basically sells pizza and Sushi and hibachi food. We arrived in the front, and someone greeted us and sat us at a booth that was actually near the bar. Server was a little slow to take our intial order, and refill waters, but she might have been the only one working in the restaurant, and we did notice that there was noise on the other side of the room, where a party was happening. However, that was okay because we also had to look over the menu options. Finally she came over, we got 3 waters and a personal pizza with sausage and brocolli. We then looked over the menu some more and decided on our entrees, which we ordered shortly after the appetizer. I ordered the Clearwater Beach Sushi Roll, my dad ordered shrimp and scallop hibachi, and my mom ordered veggie hibachi. Food came out in a timely manner- the pizza turned out really good and enjoyable- and we're from NY! I enjoyed my sushi! my parents also enjoyed their food and said that it was a good different for them. We left a cash tip, and paid via a credit card- oh and our waitress also made a mistake and said they don't charge for an extra topping on the pizza, but they did. She was polite about it and apologized though. Anyways, we enjoyed our food and it was different and may be back again if we are ever in the area again! read more

They have fabulous paintings on the wall. They have great service the server kept coming back to see if I needed anything else and to refill my drink overall it was a 10 out of 10 experience. If you live in the area and you sushi had a good price I recommend you to go! read more

Kobe Italian - Happy hour 2011 and salmon roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Only one other couple in here when we arrived. Barkeep slash waitress seated us right away in a booth right behind the arse end of the bar. Our view was paper towel dispenser and condiments galore. All the cocktails and wines on their little list, BTW, are BOGO all day every day. One thing I can't stand about this joint is the awful, crappy alternative and Euro Tech music they play. I don't wanna feel like I'm sitting in a damn nightclub. I'm just too GD old and ornery for that kinda nonsense. I much prefer a dining experience than a trip to Studio 54 or the Twenty One Club, even when I still lived in NYC. Unagi sushi for Queen Bee and gyoza for me as apps. Very slight note of smoke in the fresh eel; pickled ginger and wasabi both quite tasty too. Queen Bee discarded most of her nondescript sushi rice. Blah! Gyoza, meantime, were quite flavorful lil parcels of porky pleasure. Dinner entree was Sake House Hibachi Dinner for 2. It comes with 2 miso and 2 salads, both of which were pretty good. Ginger dressing was a lil sweeter than what I'd expect but still not bad. Then all of a sudden, after we finished those.... I was/we were given a huge platter of food, which took up over a third of our decent sized table! Shrimp, scallops, beef, chicken all grilled and seasoned nicely. Alongside that was a mixed variety of veggies: broccoli, carrot, mushroom, onion, zucchini. Broccoli was limp and soggy but the rest was quite well prepared. Then there was a large mound of grilled noodles and somewhat bland mound of fried rice. We wound up with two take-out boxes for the large amount of leftovers. We finished the seafood there, as it doesn't travel or reheat well. Shrimp were good and those scallops were VERY good. Land side proteins tasted like they were grilled in soy sauce, which pretty much describes hibachi anyway. I didn't appreciate the crappy booth we got stuck in. Nor did I appreciate the loud acoustics in there. No ceiling per se; just black painted corrugated steel and exposed ductwork. Industrial chic is all the rage these days; I find it horrid. The horrible music and an extremely loud buffoon and his office pals were just around the corner from us at a bar table. I walked outta there with both a full tummy and a headache. The buffoon isn't the restaurant's fault. The headache, however, is. Service was relatively nondescript other than the waitress, who was a little pushy at the start. We reminded her twice that we weren't in a hurry; she finally got the hint. So I give three stars because of that and particularly for the horribly noisy environment even though there were only SEVEN patrons in the whole place. So I can't begin to imagine how noisy this dark, cavernous space (with big bar plopped dead center) becomes when the joint is full. Would we return again? I'd say not, despite fairly plentiful, fairly good food. I DO value my sense of hearing more highly than that! Kobe Italian: sayonara and ciao for now, if not forevermore. Oh, BTW: the Einsteins at Yelp gave me another badge for reviewing my third different Italian restaurant. There is NOTHING on their menu even remotely Italian other than the word "Italian." That's a-nice! read more

Really enjoyed our dinner here. We had the chicken hibachi dinner and the steak hibachi dinner. It was a great price for the amount of food-- salad with ginger dressing, clear onion soup, then hibachi chicken/steak, noodles, fried rice, and vegetables. Very friendly service. We sat at a regular table, but we'll try the hibachi grill tables next time. read more

We used to love going here The people were friendly, nice, cared about you. Now under new ownership, it is disorganized, not especially friendly, orders are often wrong. They seem crazy busy with take outs and just sit the bags on the counter. Don't ask who you are or call out names or anything. The food seems to be as good but the service is not at all. I hesitate to go back. read more

Kobe Italian - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Interesting place. It's Japanese and Italian. Definitely came for the sushi though. I ordered for pick up for NYE. Ordered a variety of items to try. I ordered the Rock In Shrimp Fried, Cheese Wontons, Shumai, and Hibachi Noodles. For sushi I ordered the 2011, NYC Roll, Jaguar, and the Tampa. The Rock In Shrimp Fried was just fried shrimp and no sauce. Not great and would not recommend. The Cheese Wontons were good and basic. Nothing special or different. The Shumai was fried. It was good. I've only ever had it steamed so it was different than what I am use to. The Hibachi Noodles were good. The yum yum sauce that comes with it was missing something. It was only runny. The 2011 roll is deep fried. It is salmon, cream cheese, avocado, spicy Mayo, eel sauce, and yummy sauce. The NYC Roll is yellowtail, cucumber, scallions, and smelt roe. The Jaguar roll is deep fried. It is eel, cream cheese, and avocado. The Tampa roll is fried grouper, onion, and Mayo. All of it was good except the NYC roll and the Rock In Shrimp. Would not recommend these two items. read more

terrible never go were waiting 1 hour to get soup food never came very bad experience

It was my first time coming here, unlike my friends who are regulars. I had no problem getting a parking spot and the restaurant itself wasn't too busy. The wait staff were all really nice! This is a great place to come if you have picky eaters or friends that all like different foods because there's sushi, hibachi, and Italian food! I've never seen a Japanese restaurant with fried ravioli before! Pretty darn cool that they have a separate menu dedicated to those Italian dishes. I ordered the #14 2001 and #68 Angry Bird roll. Both were good but I liked the #14 more. There was a ton of options! Enjoy! xo read more

I have been going to this place for over 10 years. But recently the food quality has been getting worse. Last night I place an online order for pick up over $100 and when I went to pick it up it was not ready. The worse is they couldn't even find the order. I showed the order confirmation and they said we'll make it. Waited 30 minutes and they gave me a $10 store gift card which is worthless because I have no intentions on going back. When we got home, the only thing we could eat was the cup of salad with ginger dressing. The rest of the food was inedible, the rice was old and dry, the noodles were pasta and not lomein noodles, chicken was old, veggies were too salty and overcooked, and soup had a weird taste too. We threw everything in garbage as it was too risky to eat. Ended up ordering from somewhere else. I called them the next day to let them know their food wasn't edible and they should not do what they did. All I got was I am sorry, we will take your feed back. No attempt to let me rake the order, or refund you for the terrible food. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. TERRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE. Unless you want to get food poison, don't try this place!!!! read more

1st time here and won't come back ever. Service was not so great, the food was not to what we expected. Mahi-mahi tastes like very dry and old. Scallop still has fishy taste on it. no refill on water and the hibachi chefs was rude. No wonder your restaurant was empty. read more

I don't recommend. We got a Groupon and more than half of the menu wasn't usable with the Groupon. Ginger salad was really good. Sushi was decent, but Ginger and wasabi looked old and dried out. My hubby & I both got Filet Mignon Hibachi ($25-$26 each) definitely not a quality meat, meat was torn apart and for the price, not good. I got mine with scallops which were sandy. Hot green tea was luke-warm at best. Menu we're sticky and the whole dining room felt a bit dirty. I really wanted to love it. read more

I have been coming here for over 6 years and have never been disappointed. The avocado boat lunch is absolute perfection. It is a peeled half avocado filled with sashimi grade salmon, tuna, and white tuna garnished with sprouts and dressed with ponzu sauce. The price is only $9.99 for this delightfully healthy and yummy meal! I strongly suggest you give it a try! read more

I used to really like this spot but the quality has gone down a lot. Every time I walk in there it smells like sewage and the floors are sticky. The service is average. Quality is bad. The green salad is always wilted. The soup bowl has paint flakes in it. The sushi is nothing but rice. When I've gotten the hibachi lunch meals there's barely any protein and it's all rice. Personally I won't be going back here. read more

We came in on a Groupon. The moment I walked in, I was immediately put off by the environment. It's dark, dingy, with bright spot lights As soon as we sat down we noticed how it smelled, seats weren't clean, floors dirty, and menus were sticky. There was 2 different dance music songs playing? There was only one other couple so service was good. When my salad came some of the lettuce was slimy. My daughters rolled silverware napkin was soaked in something. At this point Im nervous to eat anything. We did get Hibachi. It was just okay. We only had a few bites. Also, they don't do Hibachi on certain nights but that's why we got the Groupon. Paid $18 for Groupon. The bill was $32 after $25 off. Very disappointed in Groupon and this restaurant. Looks like it was much better a few years ago according to the reviews of 2017. Really was excited to come. Wanted to love it. read more

I love this place for lunch! Vegetarian here, the rolls are always impressive, the veg habachi is amazing, and I tried the pizza yesterday. Pizza is the best and now my favorite place for pizza. (This is two restaurants in one large building, 2 menus, you can order off of either one. The building is a large (high ceiling-like First Watch) so it can easily get loud when the high tops are filled and they are drinking LOL. read more

The service is slow, the food is good. It stinks you cannot call in an order and the online method is cumbersome.

WOULD LOVE TO GIVE 0 STARS. Not sure how this place has good reviews. We were there at 8:58, didn't get a server to us for at least 7 minutes. After we got out drinks another couple came in & instantly the server was waiting on them. We ordered 5-6 minutes before they did.. just sushi rolls. The other couple got a HUGE plate of hot food before any of our rolls were done. Mind you, we were the only people in the restaurant (along with the other couple). ALSO, the salads they served us was mostly rotten lettuce. They literally gave us the core of the lettuce head.. disgusting. Being in the industry, I'm completely shocked at how minimal the service, or even communication with this place is. The server had no personality at all, not even sure what he name was because she just asked what we wanted. We won't be back. read more

The signage out front would help to Find this place. We purchased a Groupon for a $25 off voucher, we both got combo hibachi dinners, the soup was tasteless, there was so much dressing on the salad you could barely eat it. The chef wasn't friendly & during the time he was cooking he never said anything except asking how we wanted our steak cooked. The fried rice was mushy & so salty we didn't eat it. The cooktop must've been too high. Everything had a burnt taste to it. When we received our bill they added almost $10 to our it so after paying the Groupon saved us sixty cents. Definitely will not be back, there are other much better hibachi restaurants. read more

This place could have been so much better, and there is at least one staff who was very keen for feedback, and it was refreshing to see that. Unfortunately we've had better... everything. There are two entrances to this place, and as it turns out, the door on the right is officially the entrance to the sushi part of the business, and the door on the left, that's right, an Italian part of the restaurant. Once inside, we found that it was very dark, almost needed a magnifying glass to read the menu. We tried: - Teriyaki chicken with miso soup and rice: old, yellow rice with bland miso soup. Strangely, both tasted ok. Lovely chicken but oddly, it tasted like it had been cooked separate from the sauce then put together just before service. The lovely female staff was eager for our feedback for we let her know. - Vegetable tempura: Well cooked, tasty. - Volcano roll: the topping should be baked, or at least hot, but it was neither. Disappointment. - Tuna and prawn roll: Good. read more

Not a fan of their cooked rolls (or anything fried for that matter). My husband and I have always been fans of this place because he was able to get hibachi and I was able to get sushi. Once I got pregnant, my ability to eat raw fish went out the window so I had to transition to cooked rolls. I've had great experiences with cooked rolls at other sushi places so we decided to come here for dinner and introduce two of our friends. I am normally super picky about where I bring people because I feel like it is my duty to choose a place where we will be guaranteed a good time. Usually this means a place with over 4 stars on Yelp. Even though this place has 3 1/2 stars I figured with our past good experiences I'd let it slide. This was definitely a mistake. Although I hate lowering my rating based on one bad experience, this one was probably bad enough that we won't be back for a while. SERVICE: Definitely two stars for service. My friend brought a bottle of wine and asked if there was a corkage fee. Our waitress seemed flustered and questioned what corkage meant. We changed the question to could we open a bottle of wine that we brought and she said sure. Later she came back and told us her manager said it would be $10. Yep, that's what a corkage fee is. So she then proceeds to open the bottle and breaks half the cork. She basically pulled out half the cork and pushed the other half into the wine - and this was not an inexpensive bottle of wine. The waitress then kept trying to blame the bottle and said she herself opens a bottle of wine almost every night and this has never happened before. We ended up having to pour the wine into a plastic pitcher to try to make sure there weren't any bits of cork in it. On our bill they comped half the corkage fee. I suppose it's because she was able to get out half the cork? What's weird is they put the corkage fee on both bills. I'm used to paying a corkage fee per bottle, not a corkage fee per bill so in the end even with half of it comped we paid $10. Just bizarre. The bad service didn't end there. Even though we ordered appetizers all the food came at the same time. Our waitress told us that the kitchen staff wasn't on the ball that day. I don't know if she was trying to deflect blame but it came off sounding odd. FOOD: Stay away from any rolls that are fried. I got the Spider Roll and the Jaguar Roll. Both came out deeply fried. I'm used to lightly fried rolls, but the Jaguar Roll was fried to the point that it looked like a roll that you get at a cheap buffet. The soft shell crab in the Spider Roll was also deeply fried. The ends looked like fried blobs. It was pretty unappetizing. I'm still a fan of their fried rice and happily ate some of my husband's hibachi. We "started" with the shrimp gyoza which was also deeply fried. I would just steer away from anything fried. My friends did say that the spicy salmon roll they ordered was good and I've enjoyed raw fish from here before. Overall it was kind of embarrassing to introduce people here for the first time when service was that bad. If you need a place that is dependable enough to always impress, I would suggest looking elsewhere. I probably won't be back until I can eat raw fish again. read more

We came here for a hibachi dinner, but also ordered some sushi and gyoza as an appetizer. The soup came out first and was just pure salt. Then came the salad, and the ginger dressing was pretty good, but it was just lettuce and dressing. There was literally nothing else on this salad. After that, everything came at once, which the server apologized for, but there is actually a reason for ordering appetizer and that is for them to come out first. And I could maybe understand if it was just the timing with the sushi as it's made in spectate areas, but the same thing happened with the gyoza. The food was okay, the best was the lobster and scallops. The steak was a bit grainy and I didn't try the filet mignon. There were however a ton of rice and noodles on the plate, so if your trying to carb load this is great. Also, we brought in a nice bottle of wine to go with our hibachi meal. They charge $10 corkage, which is reasonable if they know how to open a bottle of wine. But this was a huge mistake on our part. 1/2 the cork got left in the bottle. The server blamed the cork and then left us to figure out how to get the wine out of the bottle, which we managed with a plastic jug as a decanter and some chopsticks. They manager discounted the corkage by $5, but seriously why wouldn't you just remove the entire charge. This is definitely not of the top of my places to return to anytime soon, food and service were both mediocre. read more

Completely messed up my order. The sushi is pretty nasty. It doesn't taste fresh at all. Very unimpressed and after multiple bad experiences I will not be back or give this place my business anymore. read more

Honestly it was just okay. We came in with a Groupon for $30 worth of food. They have a sign on the door that says 2 for 1 all day so we were super pumped. We ordered 2 speciality rolls for $17 (or so we thought) and a soup and salad. The rolls turned out not to be 2 for $17 instead $14-15 each because we had a Groupon. Really wish our server would of told us that in advance. The beers were also more expensive than we thought, $6.99 each so $3.50 each which I feel like is regular price so that was a bit annoying as well. The sushi was okay nothing special. I won't be visiting again unfortunately. read more

Kobe Italian - Sushi lunch 2x - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Kobe Italian is a Japanese Steakhouse with Sushi. Located in an outdoor mall near where the old Tucson's used to be off Ulmerton Road. As you enter the restaurant the first impression is that it is a bar. The entrance door opens into the bar. There is no waiting area or real reception. You are standing in the back of a chair at the bar. The bar consumes the entire room sharing one end for the sushi bar. Around the bar individual tables and booths. In the back are 6 to 8 hibachi tables. I was greeted promptly and seated immediately at the sushi bar. I was given plenty of time to peruse the menu and take it in with the occasional assistance of the wait staff. I was used to marking my sushi choices on a separate menu; here they took your order. I was impressed that they had approximately 70 items on their sushi menu and offered combinations with miso and salad for approximately $13. In making up my mind I did have a slight language barrier with the sushi chef as I did not know what he was describing so he solved the problem by providing a sample to satisfy my taste inquiry. The staff was very friendly. I always enjoy miso and a salad with my sushi so I knew I was going for one of the combinations. I selected one of my standard spicy tuna and an unknown to me called the USF (with the colors Green and Gold: Go Bulls!!!) and included Oshinko which was the bases of our language barrier. The spicy tuna had a moist texture and a mild nutty flavor which was extremely tasty. The USF was reminiscent of a California roll in texture with a very clean, cool flavor. But bolder than the California roll. Both were delightful. Although I was only having water I did inquire if they had a happy hour. They do offer a 2-4-1 special on mixed drinks, beer, and select imported beers. Although the space between the bar and the other tables did not seem to encourage a large happy hour at the bar. Happy hour and a dinner out with friends would be possible at this location. Unfortunately I still don't know where the Italian part comes in. Oh well, next visit. read more

Very cool concept. The owners bought the CDB Italian franchise and years later opened a sushi/hibachi joint next door. Soon after, the wall between the two was torn down as if order so by the Gipper himself. Now what you have is a restaurant with Italian and Japanese menus, hence Kobe Italian. Laughable at first, but not after you've had the vittles. What we ordered: Fried shrimp app - Shrimps were big, but the flavor was lacking. They absolutely depended on the side sauce. Eggplant & Italian Sausage app - Very tasty. Sausage and cubed egg plant served in a bowl with marinara sauce. Too good for the price. Sashimi app - I didn't eat any of it because I had an entrée coming, but the portions were pretty large, and La Chica had a smile on her face while stuffing it, so I'm assuming it was all good. Chicken Bianco - Ahhh, a long lost friend of mine. I had to order it. It was my favorite dish at the old CDB that used to be at Hutchison and Ehrlich back in the day. It was good, as I remembered, but the sauce was different. It used to be more of a thin white wine sauce, but now it's more like a white wine alfredo. Still tasty, and still a recommended dish. Chicken, mushrooms, onions? Yum! Oh, and that bread they bring out to your table that is covered in garlic butter goodness is indeed Cuban bread. Props for that. The place was clean, well-organized and the staff was friendly. Our server could have been slightly more attentive though. She dipped out on us for long periods of time, and she also never brought us any water. I will definitely return though. We had the restaurant.com deal, and didn't experience any issues. read more

Kobe...that's Japanese right? What is this "Italian" word? I'm sure everyone has to wonder that the first time they visit this place. Now, I can say I've never ordered their Italian items on the menu...but I must say, it is interesting and brings another dimension to "pleasing the whole family" when coming out to eat. Hibachi dinners, sushi, then maybe some lasagna on the side- why not? At any rate, this is our "go-to" Hibachi restaurant when we get a craving for it...it's about a 15 drive across the bridge from South Tampa, but we think it is worth it for what we have comparable in the area. Service always good, the prices are fair, and the cooks are sanitary/quick/personable/accommodating. - Worth noting that everytime we go, it always seems like drinks are BOGO. read more

Kobe Italian - Interior at hibachi tables - Sushi Bars Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

I heard that there was a new management in place and my coworker suggested I give it another shot after my first experience. I would have to say it was better, but not by much. I'm still not impressed. Honestly, my stars would be closer to a 2.75. Anyways... We ordered from the Japanese menu. We started with the Rock n Shrimp, sashimi deluxe and an sake house roll. The Rock n Shrimp was literally rock hard. The batter was almost burnt and presentation was horrible. I was super disappointed and the chefs sauce was nothing I cared for. With such a bad start I was praying the sashimi would be better from the last time. And thankfully it was! The fish is fresher and not dull in color. It's not the best because besides the salmon and escolar there was no flavor. The sushi roll was a little green madness of seaweed and baked fish on top of an avocado wrapped California. It wasn't bad but I think the seaweed salad is somewhat out of place and the baked tuna and salmon can be dry. I would have liked it more torched instead. I wasn't a fan of the service and think it's awkward when you walk in and someone behind the bar is trying to host while walking off around the corner of the bar. Am I supposed to follow or are they coming out to meet me? Uhhh... Awkwardly standing, haha. Hmm... Sorry I'll pass. read more

I know that most teppenyaki's have the same, redundant routines. Soup, salad, corny jokes, and food cooked in front of you. The formula is the same virtually everywhere you go, The 4 stars for this location is for the quality of the food that you get. The fried rice was exceptional and the filet mignon was grilled to medium rare perfection. The lobster was juicy and flavorful. If you are looking for great food to go along with your cheesy entertainment, come here. You won't be disappointed! We came here for my 8 year old's birthday. They gave her a delicious cheesecake on the house and that was definitely a nice touch. read more
