Spicy girl I believe
Amber C.

The food at Kobe's is great! I enjoy the low light ambiance and the cozy atmosphere. But one thing I think is funny is their lazy customer service. I've been there four times and there is always someone sleeping, waiters on their phone, not greeting customers, and the hamachi grill was one of the worsts I have ever been too. Yes I will still come back, I just do not feel truly valued and welcomed to eat at this restaurant.

Udon veggie soup

I have a lot to say and I'm going to try to be brief (sarcasm). I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and moved here 5 years ago. I know what authentic Japanese food should look and taste like. If you want authentic Japanese sushi, please go to Ginza Japanese Restaurant on Guinard in Sumter, SC. I wanted to try something different today. So I go to Kobe's to order take out. The hostess greets me and I ask to see a menu. She gives me a paper menu which is ok, but also hands me a filthy plastic booklet menu. I sit down to decide what I want. I go back to her and begin to tell her my order, she snatched the paper menu out of my hand to circle what I wanted. I ordered 1 shrimp Udon soup, 1 chicken Udon soup, 2 spicy tuna rolls and a shrimp tempura roll from the 3 roll special on the menu. Spicy tuna rolls were not listed but she said yes it's ok. I sat down to wait for my order. As I looked around, I noticed the restaurant was in dire need of a decor update, it's dark and dingy. It was empty, I was their only customer and it was after lunch. As I was sitting waiting for my food, an angry short man comes to the counter and shouts to me, did you order the spicy tuna rolls? I said yes. He then yells, that's more money. I said ok, how much? He said $3.00 more. I said ok, I gave him a $5 bill. My bill was already $46 and he acted like I stole something. I go back to sit and wait. A teenaged boy comes in and asks if he could have plastic utensils from the hostess. She walks to give it to him and the angry man appears like smoke and shouts, did you buy food here? The teen says no. The angry man is talking to him but keeps looking at me because I'm staring at him. He yells at the teen you need to buy food here, but let's the hostess give him the plastic utensils. When the teen left, I said to the angry man, you should be nice. He said, he didn't buy any food. I said, well your tone with me wasn't nice about the spicy tuna being more money. He angrily apologized and walked away. My food was ready in a good amount of time and I left. When I got home and opened the trays of food. I was knew this was going to be nasty and a waste of $49. The Udon soups had an egg in each which I never ever had in Udon soup. It looked like Pho soup, not Udon soup. There were no shrimp in my soup. The sushi rice grains looked like regular white rice, the tuna looked chopped up. I deconstructed the sushi, it looked like uncooked ground beef. The shrimp tempura roll looked like fried shrimp with flour batter, not panko like it should. The customer service professionalism was zero. The hostess and the angry man had attitudes and they were not friendly. I've been here once before, 4 years ago during dinner time and I had no problems. I faithfully go to Ginza, but today I wanted something different. I will never do that again when it come to Japanese food here in Sumter.

On fire.

As expected the sushi were excellent. The timing and presentation were fabulous. We were visiting my son who is stationed here in the Air Force. He loves this place. Out waitress told us he is a regular... The restaurant was clean and open. A little dark but nice. We went before dinner was it was not busy yet. The there one other table filled. We started with sushi that my son loved. Then, hibachi. Steak fir me, chicken for my son with double rice and veggie for my son. The chef was entertaining. Food was tasty and hot. I am sure we would go back when we return.

Veggies!

Portions were terrible for the outlandish price. Waiter never came back to fill drinks not once. Food was good. Not worth the price

They use to give everyone a shrimp at the end of the cooking performance. Food is still good though.

Hawaii Seafood Steak House - Shrimp and chicken

Hawaii Seafood Steak House

4.3(21 reviews)

Tucked away in a shopping strip, Hawaii Steak & Seafood House in Sumter is easy to overlook from…read morethe outside, but once you step in, you're greeted with a surprisingly clean and spacious dining area. I didn't dine in this time, I ordered my meal to-go but I still got a good feel for the space. I ordered spring rolls and shrimp and scallop hibachi. The veggies was definitely the highlight of the meal. The seafood was cooked nicely, but it was the fresh, crisp veggies that really stood out and gave the dish its balance. The portions were generous, big enough that you're not leaving hungry, and maybe even with leftovers for later. The spring rolls missed the mark for me. They lacked the veggie crunch I was hoping for and didn't have that crispy, golden snap that makes spring rolls irresistible. Instead, they leaned a bit on the soggy side, which left me wanting more texture and flavor balance. Overall, Hawaii Steak & Seafood House is one of those spots where you'll walk out full and satisfied portion-wise. The hibachi veggies shined, but a few other items could use a little fine-tuning. Clean space, big plates, and a meal that's worth a try if you're in the area.

We had such a wonderful dining experience in Sumter…read more Oh, the Hawaiian appetizers were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to start our meal. My wife ordered the Roman and loved every bite. My daughter went with the salmon bento box, which was both beautiful and tasty. And me? I couldn't resist the "Sexy Girl" sushi roll--tempura shrimp and crab fried just right. Yep, yep... YUMMY! From start to finish, everything was flavorful, creative, and well-prepared. If you're looking for a place in Sumter with variety, flavor, and that "we'll definitely be back" factor--this is it!
