We had a fun family dinner here. The chefs were funny and entertaining. The tweens loved it. The drink offerings are plentiful. We each opted for the filet and a seafood. I went with the octopus and was not disappointed in the slightest. The scallops were also a hit. There's lots of choices of sauces - both to be cooked in and dipped in. You start with a broth and everyone also gets regular or fried rice. The portions are large. And, of course, there's vegetables too. So in sum, fun family dinner with lots of choices to please everyone - and you definitely won't leave hungry. read more

Returned after a lengthy hiatus from Kobe. Reservations were made early, and regardless, the eaiting area was crowded. I guess you can't educate parents who allow their unsupervised kids to run around and create a major disturbance in the waiting area. After this display, we were finally seated, and the experience became much better. Jack was our server and provided excellent care of the whole table. Our hibachi chef was terrific. Food was prepared as perfect as a meal can get. It was a great experience once we were seated and away from any other sideshow distractions. read more

It's always fun to come over here for the food performance. I went with my family in the last 3 years and last week I took my LA friend there. I was super surprised that the restaurant still packed while the menu is not changed much. I wish they have more veggie options, I kinda notice that the options and most of their drinks stay the same. I gave 4 stars for that lack of creativity. Otherwise I feel so impressed and welcomed by the vibe P.S. They charge privilege fees and we dont know why Highly recommended shogun for 2 read more

Great atmosphere. Wide selection of food and drinks. Fun bar with a large selection of drinks

The food and chef were great! Getting the shogun we wanted to try a mix of their meat options, each being delicious. Our complaints lied more with the rushed feeling we had. As soon as our chef had served us the final bits of our meal checks were being dropped and the bus boys seemed to be lurking to clean the tables. Understandably going at dinner time we know they are just wanting to be efficient with their seating however we barely were able to touch our complete meals. Also wasn't aware of all the up charges that would be applied, a mistaken on our end for not reading the menu completely but be aware fried rice is not included with your meal and there is a occupancy price large surcharge. read more

Such a fun place with a group! Great place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. The kids enjoy it too!

Came in for lunch today during their Friday holiday hours. We ordered the steak and chicken, and the filet and shrimp hibachi. The salad was fresh and very tasty. The main course with the fried rice and mushrooms were delicious. The restaurant was clean and much larger inside than I thought. The hibachi chef was engaging and enthusiastic. A couple at our table ordered gluten free and he was very meticulous to make sure their meals were cooked first and did not add any sauces with gluten. We will definitely return! read more

Had an ok experience at Kobe. I know it's not just about the food here...people go for the show too. Trouble is, I wasn't impressed with either. The quality of the show depends a lot on the cook you get. Our seemed very scripted, like he had said the same things 20 times already that day. To be fair, he probably had, but still, it was a bit tired. Silly jokes and he seemed a bit bored. The food was very average American style Asian food. Grilled veggies were fine, if not a little bland. I ordered the filet and shrimp. The filet was the star, quite tender and did have good flavor. The shrimp was very disappointing. Super rubbery and bland. The "soup" tasted like beef bouillon that had been dissolved in water. I have never had a worse soup! Overall, I didn't feel like I really got my money's worth. read more

My friends and I went to dinner at Kobe's last night and had a wonderful time. It does get busy fast, so making a reservation in advance is recommended. Once your party is all there they will then seat you. The ambiance was inviting and warm, and our waiter was timely and accommodating even with it being his first night. The chef definitely made it a fun experience while making delicious food. Since I can't eat gluten, they accommodated me by brining out my own soup, salad, and sauce/soy sauce. They then made sure the grill was clean, and made all my food before everyone else's. I had the chicken and scallops, and they were delicious and cooked perfectly! The gluten free fried rice was my favorite. I definitely didn't miss out on the experience nor the food. I also had a Madame Butterfly to drink and it was also delicious! The drink was not alcohol forward and tasted more along the lines of an alcoholic strawberries and cherries smoothie. Really refreshing and went along perfectly with the meal. I definitely will recommend this place to my friends and continue to come back in the future! read more

Pricey but worth it. Every time we go everyone in the group raves about it. Service is always top notch and bound to bring laughs. Drinks can be a bit expensive but always worth it. Great for celebrations or just a night out :) read more

Rude manager, overpriced food. We went there on Christmas Eve and someone in our party ordered their steak medium-well. The "chef" said, "What? Are you from Kansas?" Okay. Haha. Then he asked her that four more times. It got old really fast. Then, another person in our party ordered white rice instead of fried rice. He refused to bring her the rice and mocked her for not ordering fried rice. The "show" was lame and the guy acted like he was bored. Asked to talk to the manager and she was like, "Whatever. We don't need your business." And she won't have it. read more

It's always an amazing experience. But this time Alex was the best cook by far, with the best cooking skills. Highly recommended and I hope we get the same cook next time we are there. Five stars all the way ! read more

Finally made it here after moving back to Omaha three years ago. If you have a large group, reservations are definitely recommended. But if there's only two you, and you want to chance it, you can try going right when they open at 4 and you can probably get in with a little wait time. You can go to the bar and have a drink while you wait. I don't know what else to add since there are already 100-some reviews. It's great for birthdays and large parties. Or if it's just the two of you, you can usually meet some friendly people at your table. You get a lot of food for the money, I mean *a lot*. It's very filling and we ended up taking a lot if it home. I think my favorite part of the meal was, believe it or not, the fried rice. Everything else was good too, but the fried rice was some of the best I've ever tasted. We'll go again. For us it's most likely going to be special occasion place- like a once or twice a year kind of place. read more

I went with my family and it was the best experience I've ever been to. Absolutely amazing and it was so much fun with my family and friends definitely recommend. read more

We came early but don't do that! You have to be seated at your reservation time to allow your table to be full and get the dining experience. The food was tasty and the presentation was great. Our chef was very quiet and not as entertaining as others around us. Our server and bar tender were very attentive. read more

Kobe - Filet mignon and Chicken with $4 fried rice. - Steakhouses Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I've been here a couple times. You come here for the show. The last time I was there, the chef was great. Upbeat, quick with jokes, etc. If you don't have a good chef or you get one on an off night, you won't have a good experience. The food is pretty good, as well. Like I said, the draw is the show and the chefs I've had were great! read more

I enjoy Asian food and enjoy hibachi grills, but I feel Kobe was more like a fast food chain. Gyoza on came in fried, which is fine for street food, but at this establishment we should of had options on how it was prepared. The calamari looked and tasted like fish sticks. The rice was a little hard, but eatable. The rest of the service was amazing, I don't think I will go back for the prices they have, I can just go to a normal hibachi grill. read more

Who doesn't like tableside cooking. With entrees in the $25-30/pp price point it's not a bad deal considering the amountnof food you get - soup, salad, protein, rice/fried rice and veggies. I think given what you go for, the chef can play a big part in your experience. We enjoyed ours, but I could see how this could impact your experience. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place but it's definitely not good anymore. Their prices continue to rise and their food quality continues to deteriorate. Attending this establishment for 23 years as an annual birthday celebration. I typically bring a party of 6-8 people. I initially started going here because the "birthday boy" ate for free. This hasn't been the case for probably a decade. My last trip was the end for me I brought in a large group for my twins birthday to try and establish a new tradition with them. We were charged extra for their birthday???? This full circle from my original reasoning for coming here. I'll be going to Genji from now on. read more

Kobe is the perfect place for a great meal for any fun occasion, party, birthday or a random Tuesday night. The menu is small, but it is because they specialize in hibachi style food. This place is always packed, so make sure to make a reservation or get there early. I suggest getting two meat options for about the same price as one on the menu. I typically get steak with seafood options. I always recommend the scallops, steak or teriyaki salmon to anyone because these three menu items are always perfect. The scallops just melt into your mouth and the salmon with the sauce is cooked perfectly to be a crispy top with a tender inside. The rice is my favorite part of the entire meal. It is THE best fried rice that I eat everytime! No matter who the chef is. Looking to get a drink? Try the volcano that you can share for $18 with a friend or two! It is worth it since some martini can be $11! I do think the alcohol is a bit pricey, but still great drinks. Josh is the best chef we have had there so far. He is fun and conversational. We have other ones who are good, but he so far is the best! Overall, a bit of a pricey place but has wonderful food. read more

Kobe! One of the greatest basketball players, but the steakhouse, on the other hand, needs some practice lol I absolutely love the concept of this restaurant - Entertainment & Food - with audience participation! While the concept is great, the execution is mediocre. Our chef wasn't a good entertainer or cook...the atmosphere he created at the table wasn't exciting, and he seems like he rather be somewhere else. The food was only ok - everything was way too salty, drenched in soy sauce - I felt like a fish out of the water, dying of thirst with each bite! Kobe Steakhouse has a lot of potential with its fun concept of serving food. However, your dining experience is solely dependent on the chef/entertainer you get for the evening. May the odds be ever in your favor! read more

Ok, you'll need to prepare to spend a pretty penny to enjoy the experience, but prepare for an upbeat, interactive and fun time with the chef and some pretty drinks-- especially enjoyable if you're paired with Chef Simon or someone equally as funny! We celebrated my niece's graduation at Kobe and this made it special. The sauce pairing is amazing to the quality meats or fish which Simon explained the types very well to us. Again, I want to emphasize that it wasn't the waitress service or the pricey bill at the end that made this a wonderful and tasty experience, it was 100 percent Chef Simon. read more

I forgot to post a review from September. A group of people (forgot to take pictures...) went there for my and a buddy's birthday. This is the second time I've been here and it's always a great time. Our chef was fantastic and definitely made the whole experience. I ordered some steak and the fried rice that they make is delicious. I don't think I can say enough good things about this place. The drinks are also very good. read more

Really good Japanese Hibachi style food. We got the Shogun meal for 2 consisting of filet mignon, lobster and shrimp with veggies and fried rice. Dinners also come with a clear soup, salad and shrimp appetizer so you don't really need to get any more appetizers unless you are super hungry or know you want to take leftovers home. The spicy mustard sauce on the side was super addictive. Food was cooked to your taste and temperature. The only reason for giving it 4 stars is that you must make a reservation to get a table. We tried to walk-in a couple times are we're turned away. But understanding Covid precautions, it was fair. read more

We've been here several times blah blah...I previous visits were more theatrical. Maybe that's because they were weekend and this visit was during the week. Anyway food is decent and its fun to watch them make it in front of you. I thought a bigger deal should have been made by the chef over the birthday we were celebrating. Blah blah blah, go on the weekend or prepare for somewhat blah performance and service. read more

Kobe - Steakhouses Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The food is good, but this is the kind of place where you pay a premium for the experience (read: melting pot), except there's no 'do it yourself' action here. You're just supposed to sit back, watch your cook, and try to keep up as they load you up with soup, salad, veggies, rice, and meat (approximately in that order). If you've been more than once, you already know the jokes, the tricks (volcano, spinning egg, tossing shrimp), etc. But it's especially fun with a large group (at least 8 to fill a table) or with an even larger group (so you have two tables filled and can heckle each other). But I always was very excited to go there growing up because as a kid the fire and spectacle is much more amusing. Still, I thought it was fantastic when I was younger. Not really a place to eat on a regular basis ever, but with a large group it's a great time. read more

I've been here twice, both 5/5 experiences. This is much more than dinner, it's a show in front of your table with jokes, fire, and piping hot food. I ordered the sesame chicken which was mostly O-K but the beef and shrimp which the rest of my table are truly where it's at, tender and flavorful. The meal includes a broth soup, small salad, white rice (fried rice is 3$ extra), stir-fried vegetables, a few shrimp, and your choice of protein. Our cook kept us laughing and engaged the entire time. You can't beat the price of the meal for what you get- serious entertainment and generous portions. MUST check this place out in Omaha if you want a special occasion meal. TIP: Make a reservation if you have a larger party, you'll thank yourself for it. read more

Simon the Chef made our night SO SPECIAL without any warning! It was a Masterpiece! Everyone at our table knew each other's names, felt connected and engaged in experience.

People looked more beautiful, waitress was so attentive. What a Beautiful memorable night after last min planned dinner at Kobe! read more

We always love eating here, the food is great. The staff is always very friendly and the show while they cook your food creates an awesome ambience.

My first time having a bad experience at Kobe's due to the greeter. She was very rude with her inability to properly check a party in, and proceeded to cut (roll) her eyes at guest as if we were an inconvenience to her. It's your job to greet people, if that's an inconvenience to you it might serve you best to seek different employment. Also, her assumption that a party wanted to share a menu instead of asking if the party wanted more than one menu is an incompetent decision-making choice on her part. Lastly, to the front greeter, if you're having a bad day, maybe ask management to allow you to go home for the evening as it's extremely selfish to run the risk of ruining the reputation of a wonderful establishment because of your unprofessionalism and personal matters. Overall the chef and food were amazing as usual, but the first impression is of the utmost importance for customer satisfaction. Due to her actions it really set the tone for the evening. read more

We drove a bit out of the way to eat here. Kobe didn't disappoint. Service was great and the hibachi chef was very entertaining. The filet was so tender and delicious it literally melted in my mouth. I also tried the lobster tail wasn't impressed. It was a bit rubbery. Other than that the night was perfect. We will return if we are in the area. read more

This is a fantastic place for a birthday dinner. The food is better than I expected, but the best part of the experience is the show that they put on at your table when they're cooking in front of you. This was some of the best fried rice I've had, and the shrimp was tasty too! They also have good, relatively cheap options for kids meals. read more

Kobe - Steakhouses Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

My wife and I always love going to dinner at Kobe. It is an hibachi style grill, where you sit in small groups and your meal is cooked/grilled before your eyes. Groups are always 6 or more, so if you have a large group, you would be seated together. But if you show up in a smaller party, you will be paired with strangers. But, this has never been a problem, and you feel like friends before the dinner is complete. You start by ordering your meal, sides, and drinks. The restaurant has several adult beverages that are reasonably priced and delicious. Sides include traditional Chinese/Japanese options. I have only tried the crab rangoons, but they are delicious! All dinners include salad, soup, and rice. You are allowed to choose traditional white or fried rice, and if you are smart, you will choose the fried rice. I chose the white rice once, and will NEVER make that mistake again. Meals include your choice of protein, the rice, grilled vegetables, and shrimp. During the show, you are treated to a show by your personal chef. In my experience, the chefs do an exceptional job catering to children and those who are celebrating an occasion. Near the end, the chef will fling pieces of grilled shrimp and diners try to catch them in their mouths. Always a great show. My wife and I come here often, and the kids have a great time! Join their club and get free birthday meals and gift certificates for frequent visits! read more

Very spacious interior with black-red theme. The restaurant is big with the hibachi rooms and waiting/bar areas. We get seated quickly, about 10 minutes after we arrive. The meal come with your choice of entree, soup, salad with ginger dressing, shrimp appetizer, and a choice of either steam of fried rice. The soup and salad came out quickly. I love their ginger dressing, the flavor is not overwhelming. I got Steak and Calamari as my entree and fried rice. My boyfriend got Chicken and Scallops and fried rice. We both agree that our chicken and steak was dry. Our seafoods cooked perfectly on the other hand. The fried rice portion is big, bigger than Genji, but I feel like I want something more from the fried rice. Maybe some butter in the rice to make it flavorful? $3 add on for fried rice was quite expensive compared to Genji. They have 3 sauces of ginger, horseradish, and house sauce aeoli(?). Five stars for the house sauce, creamy but not too much. Very flavorful. Service was fast and attentive. Our chef performed tricks and did some small talk. A good experience for us. read more
