This place is such a fun experience! Our chef was so funny and had lots of puns. He was super friendly and made the experience wonderful! I got the land and sea with shrimp and steak and the food was delicious. I loved that they started you out with soup and salad before bringing out the fried rice, veggies, and your main dish. They also had some great dipping sauces. The grill tricks were super fun to watch and the restaurant was very clean and well set up for this! Great place for a celebration or just a fun dinner out

Hibachi Grill with Meat

I tried Kobe for the first time last night with a large group and it was so good!! Our server was great, I was sitting at the kids table and everybody kept dropping forks and he always got us new ones pretty quickly lol! He recommended the filet mignon so me and my sister both ordered that with fried rice. I definitely would've taken a picture but it was so good I ate it really fast. The portions were really good too and almost everyone in my group took a box home for leftovers! Overall a great experience :)

Fried rice and veggies

disclaimer they no longer serve sushi here... Had to take one star away for that my daughter was hoping to have her favorite roll like she gets at Osaka. I had convinced her to try somewhere now since we're doing some shopping in Village point and this is so convenient. The ambience and aesthetic when you walk in gives you more of an upscale feel. Our chef was amazingly entertaining table side. We are sat with another family with kids around the same age as my daughter so many Shirley temples were ordered that they came out with a pitcher. food was good, but could've used a tab with more seasoning. Fried rice is always the best part and they were plenty of leftovers.

This was our family's first time at Kobe. We had went to Osaka in the past. Not that Osaka is bad by any means because we have never had a bad experience there. Kobe, felt like a little step above. The real reason why was the hard take on making sure that our oldest son could eat with an egg allergy. The staff made it very clear that allergens would be VERY accommodated by the restaurant. I use all caps for VERY because they stressed it multiple times. The staff is friendly, the ambience is a little loud but that is what you would expect from a Hibachi restaurant. The food, especially the fried rice, I recommend the $4 upgrade, it's delicious! We, a party of 5, sat with a party of 3 and the chef made sure that it was fun among both families by catching food in our mouths with thunderous applause upon success. Good times for all!

Great customer service, fun presentation, we loved our chef and the food was good. We celebrated our 22 anniversary, it was fun to celebrate with others too.

You could just eat here, but for the prices it's more like a special night out. Enjoy the show and plan a party of people. You can have 10 at a station or reserve two connected stations. Whatever you do, don't be a bozo; make a reservation! And if you get in their email list they'll send you coupons every now and again. The food is good but what you're paying for is the show. This is a large, flat hibachi cook top. The cook will make jokes, entertain you with skills, and flip shrimp into your mouth. You will have a separate server to bring you drinks, your traditional Japanese starter soup and salad, and coordinate the "Banzai" birthday (for an extra $6 included the gong ringing, photo, and cheesecake dessert (yes this use to be free, but not any more)). Note: This isn't a place you sit and talk with your loved ones. This is a place for showmanship. Kobe is loud as all the chefs are doing their own thing and families who are in their "down time" - between the show and paying the bill - are yelling across the hibachi to be heard, plus the special occasion gong (which happens at least once at each time). Other than that, the food is good and we go annually for my younger son's birthday. "Banzai!"

Kobe was so fun! It was one of those experiences that you think back and say to yourself " I'd do it again." A group of friends went together to celebrate a birthday. The host let us know that everyone on the party needed to be present to be situated which makes sense for this type of restaurant. The chef or the person cooking the food ( I am not sure what they called themselves) was so friendly and funny and it was an awesome experience. Be ready to laugh, have a good time and catch food with you mouth!

Dinner

Our cook was amazing and funny. The food was excellent. Our waiter was very efficient.

I have a love-hate relationship with Kobe. I've had a few good experiences and one really terrible one. The proteins and veggies at Kobe were delicious and filling, and the meals are not too expensive! It is a little more than other restaurants of the same caliber, but this includes a little interaction and fun with the chef. The cook stands right at your table, lights up the grill in front of him with a large flame, and goes to work on your appetizers! They have little tricks that they do with their knives/spatulas/sauces and even get the diners involved in the little show (throwing pieces of chicken and making you catch it in your mouth, etc). Another plus is that you get to try some of what everyone orders (so everyone should get something different, if you want to share a few bites to try different items). Now, on to the reason for the three star review. Our last visit to Kobe was on a quiet Saturday afternoon. The staff were all just standing around chatting in small groups when we walked in and asked for a table. One of them piped up that there were none available. I kid you not, there was not one table with diners in the entire place. They were not closed, they were not all booked up, no reason given - they just would not serve us. It was so bizarre. Because of this, we kind of promised ourselves we would not eat there again. That level of (lack of) service is the reason for my rating, unfortunately, no matter how good the food is.

Steak and Scallops
Jana J.

I've been here a few times and love the experience! They always do a great job and make you feel like they enjoy what they are doing. The food was great--rice was crispy which was impressive and the balance of veggies to rice/meat was good. Plenty of meat too! Next time I will only order one as the steak was my favorite. Also love that they give everyone several shrimp for free! The last time I went the chef was a great shot and got the shrimp in our mouth without us moving at all, this time was more difficult but still fun! And he made sure everyone at our table caught several to eat. The atmosphere is a bit more casual than I expected with plenty of families and children--not a problem at all but less of a fancy spot than I thought. I would recommend ordering the steak or shrimp based on everything I've tried, and definitely add fried rice!

Kobe ALWAYS hits the spot. It's not a cheap meal, but it is truly a dinner and a show (and, most likely, leftovers!) The soup and salad starters always hit the spot, and the main meals are cooked to perfection. Our server and chef were funny and attentive and made for a great experience. Don't chicken out on catching the shrimp in your mouth at the end :)

We came to the bar area for a drink an appetizers around 8PM. Every time I come here the restaurant is busy. The bar tender was mixing drinks left & right but he greeted us right away & gave us menus to look over. We started with a Mai Tai drink-that has all the right rums & fruit juices topped with a pretty umbrella & fruit slices! That makes me feel like I'm on vacation or celebrating something special. We decided on Japanese Gyoza & Pork Egg Roll appetizers. I didn't care for the Gyoza that seemed deep fried too long. The pork egg rolls weren't much better considering other Asian restaurants nearby are much better. I'll stick with Kobe's hibachi grilled shrimp & salmon that are 5*

Sakai Sushi Train and Grill

(28 reviews)

My daughter and I came in for lunch and decided to try several things on the train. It was a fun…read moreexperience and definitely worth trying once, but things that are supposed to be hot weren't hot (no way to tell how long a plate has been traveling around), and most of the rolls we tried were just okay. You don't have to order off the train and they have a good sized menu. Unfortunately, as I said, what I did try off of the train was just okay, and I wouldn't rush to come back in.

A Saturday night out with a friend led us to Sakai Sushi Train & Grill, and in true Midwestern…read morefashion, we just beat the dinner rush. We walked in at 5:15 PM, sat down, and the place was packed within minutes. Not an empty seat in sight--good timing on our part! Our server greeted us quickly, and after a quick look at the drink menu, we went all in with water, Coke Zero (YES, a Coke Zero establishment!), and a cocktail--the amusingly named Sex in Okinawa. No regrets. As the sushi train made its rounds, we grabbed a crab rangoon. It was tasty but had cooled off from its little journey, so we opted for a fresh batch from the kitchen. The spring rolls? Crispy, hot, and on point. I did have to ask for sriracha a few times (our server kept forgetting), but to be fair, they were busy, so I didn't hold it against them. One thing we noticed was that some of the sushi rolls lacked descriptions. A tiny sign with ingredients would be helpful. I am a sushi newbie, and I wasn't about to roll the dice on a Volcano Roll without knowing what was inside. For what I did try: California rolls - classic and exactly what you'd expect. Sexy jalapeño - surprisingly good! (If there was fish in there, I didn't notice.) Tempura sweet potato roll - crispy, slightly sweet, and a winner. Pro tip: They offer a veteran/military discount, but double-check your receipt--ours wasn't applied at first, but they fixed it without issue. Final bill: about $68, and let's be honest, a good chunk of that was drinks. Not bad for a fun dinner out! Would I go back? Absolutely. There's plenty more to try, and the atmosphere makes for a great night with friends. Final Verdict: Worth the ride!
