Hot Pot Bibimbop
Ariel L.

If I could give Kobe more than 5 stars, I would. Every dish we tried was outstanding. The White Dragon Roll was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Hot Pot Bibimbop arrived sizzling with perfectly balanced spices. The Teriyaki Chicken with Yakisoba was pure comfort food, and the Chicken and Dumplings were rich and satisfying. For dessert we shared the chocolate ice cream, which turned out to be Oreo cookie ice cream--a great surprise and an even better value. The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and it is clear the staff works as a team. The ambience is calming and makes it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. This will definitely be our regular spot for date nights and whenever we are craving something amazing.

Full Yelp disclosure, I ordered my food on DoorDash. So I can't comment on the actual restaurant. But I can about the food. So yummy! The bento box with beef bulgogi was perfection. Delicious. A side of rice, a wonton, egg roll, and CA rolls. Fresh ginger and wasabi. Freshly made CA rolls were so good! Yummy beef too. Tender and flavorful. A perfect chicken won ton with a clean dipping sauce. The side salad had a nice sesame dressing. The veggie tempura still warm and fresh. A huge side of warm edamame was the perfect accompaniment. My food was packaged so neatly and obviously with care. I definitely want to eat more of it! Next time go to the restaurant. And try the hot pot. SYOY!

Bento Lunch Box
Paul J.

Looking for a quick bite during a meeting in Bellevue, I stopped into Kobe and found myself staring down a huge bento box filled with fresh sushi, a spicy tuna roll, some shrimp tempura and fried dumplings/egg rolls, a tiny shredded cabbage and seaweed salad, and a small bowl of miso soup. Exactly what I needed - delicious and filling, it hit the spot. The restaurant's atmosphere is more of a pub-type bar than a restaurant, but the food was good and the server was on top of it - this place is clearly used to a busy lunch crowd. I washed the bento down with a generous iced tea (they offered a refill to go!) and the price was right. If you're looking for good, quick eats at a reasonable price, give Kobe a try!

Tonkatsu Bento Box
Taran I.

Clean, cozy and fast. This place is the "go to" spot for lunch breaks for my staff. Thought I'd give it a try on a weekend. Pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too busy. The staff are attentive and the food options are well planned. Multiple bento-box combinations (Mom and I should've shared). The portions are hearty and you leave filling stuffed and satisfied.

Main counter

Went to Kobe on Tuesday evening for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the experience was from start to finish. The parking setup deserves a notice as it is clearly marked by the entrance, it is free, and is shared with a nearby hotel, which adds a layer of safety and convenience. The bibimbap was served sizzling hot and satisfying, but the surprise highlight was their house salad dressing. I noticed that they even sell it on the side, so you know it's a hit. I also noticed a smart layout feature. There is a hand-washing sink available outside the restroom, which is great for guests who want to freshen up without the hassle. I don't typically go for sweets, but had Asian-style ice cream and a decent alcohol selection. I chose to sit at the sushi bar since I was alone, and the atmosphere there was chill and comfortable.

Prawn tempura
Smrithi S.

I met a friend for dinner at Kobe recently and this was her pick. I got Prawn tempura and Spicy rainbow roll. I loved both the prawn tempura and the sushi roll. They have so many options and it was tough to pick what I wanted to have on my first visit. Will definitely be back to try other items.

Grilled shisamo fish. Totally scrumptious.
John M.

Take this with a grain of salt, or a teaspoon of gochujang, as the case may be because we popped in after a long morning of flying and dealing with SEA-TAC car rentals. Because SEA-TAC wa such a debacle of an experience, we ate at Kobe between lunch and dinner, and wasn't up for a full meal. We did have two LARGE Sapporo beers for medicinal purposes and one order of the ddokboki (rice cakes), and the grilled shisamo fish. The fish were DELECTABLE. As long as you are a gourmand enough to enjoy little fish whole, you're going to love this. Wee seafood pockets bursting with roe and flavor, they were delightful. The ddokboki was really good too, clearly made with an anchovy broth adding to the deeper flavor vs made with a lesser liquid. While not as good as what you'd get in Namdaemun market on Seoul (a tall order), it harkened to that direction well enough. Service was very friendly, and it was a good jolt of tastiness and medical relief by way of fermented grains and hops.

Katsu chicken curry 3.5/5
Noah B.

*Katsu chicken curry 3.5 *Sweet and sour chicken 4/5 *House sake 3/5 -chicken curry was a good size portion and not a disappointment. The curry itself was so so and nothing that stands out for the chicken was fried nice, and went well with the curry. -chicken didn't have very good presentation but as soon as I started eating, it was really good. Would definitely do again. -house sake was cheap and a good portion for the price but didn't taste great. I know it was the cheapest option but I don't think I would do again.

Las Vegas Roll Fish Roe Hot Pot()

Great spot to go when you visit bellevue or when you are craving for Korean food or Japanese food. The staff was really friendly and the food was always good. I've been going to this place more than 10 times now.

Beef Short Ribs
Diane Z.

Stopped in for a late dinner, the staff was very friendly and helpful, we ordered way more than we could eat, mostly because the portions are very generous! We had a few appetizers (didn't get photos of the soft shell crab, or the Rangoon) a couple main dishes along with some great beer! This place was quiet, probably because it was later in the evening, it's a small restaurant, very comfortable. You can watch them make the sushi to order if you sit at the counter. Definitely recommend this place!

It was my first time visiting Kobe and I loved it! We ordered more than 5 dishes and every single dish was delicious. Especially I liked the ramen. The quality and service was fast and great and I would definitely come back for more foods.

Shoyu Ramen
James P.

This is the best restaurant in Bellevue, offering a wonderful atmosphere perfect for a date night or a meal with friends and family. They serve a variety of dishes, including Japanese and Korean cuisine, and the taste is amazing. The servers are also incredibly friendly. I visit every time I'm in Bellevue. They even have a ramen bowl challenge where you can win $100 gift certificate if you finish it within the time limit. This is always my go-to spot!

Nagasaki Ramen or Udon
Keti L.

SERVICE: 4/5 The service was great! Our waitress was patient taking our large order and the food came out quickly afterward. The only issue was that they forgot one of our orders, but it worked out fine since we were all too full. Overall, we were satisfied with the service, but there was nothing outstanding that stood out. FOOD: 4.5/5 There is a great selection of both Japanese and Korean food. I got the Salmon Love Roll and Nagasaki Udon. The Salmon Love Roll had a mild spice and I liked how soft the salmon was. The Nagasaki Udon had a light, but delicious broth flavor and the udon noodles added a chewy and supple texture. They also gave a generous amount of seafood that it is worth trying for the price. I would highly recommend the udon during the rainy day or if you are craving some comfort food. *NOTE: Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant.

The crowds are less heavy now and yelp joining the waitlist is super convenient. Although today's waitlist join said it would take 16-33min to be seated, I got the text that table was ready within 3 minutes. We were still en route and made it within 15 minutes but were removed from the waitlist because we didn't answer the 3 minute call. Nonetheless, we only waited 10min for another table. The dining area that is nearest to reception can get "cold" particularly the corner, we sat there once and your elders will not like it. Today we got seated there again and decided to wait for the other side where the AC wasn't full blast. Its all chill. Friendly, accommodating staff. The food comes fast, like Din Tai Fung. The cost too, is like DTF. Overall, its good, but not worth the higher cost, but the service and cleanliness make it a combined 5 Star. The Kalbi Tang is the star, a must get every single visit.

Just wished there was more tteok. 1 Daeho kalbijjim (mild) with added cheese and corn- this was a lot for our group of 4, we ended up taking some to go. The meat was tender, the flavoring was a little salty for my liking. 1 Daeho naengmyun- sooo yum and refreshing bites in between all the meat. The noodles were chewy and the portion was great for sharing. Great spot to eat at. Staff are quick and reservations are definitely needed unless you're willing to wait lolll.

Every dish is flavorful, well-portioned, and comes piping hot. The service is friendly and quick; however, the restaurant is small and does not take reservations, so expect a wait during peak lunchtime hours and on weekends. My favorite items are the seafood pancake and the tofu soup (soonduboo jigae). I LOVE seafood pancakes, and this one is crispy, light, and packed with shrimp, squid, and mussels. It comes with a delicious sauce that I can't get enough of. The tofu soup is hearty and balanced, and has meatballs, shrimp, mussels, squid, and scallops, along with a side of rice and banchan. The tofu is soft and creamy, and the rice is perfectly cooked. I don't usually eat white rice at home, so this really hits the spot! The fried chicken is crispy and juicy, and on par with other Korean fried chicken places I've tried in the area. The restaurant itself is clean, sleek, and comfortable for a quick lunch or hangout with friends.

Their sundubu is really quite good, with a nice variety of seafood sprinkled in generously. Their banchan is nice, too, including a really crunchy and fresh radish kimchi. They don't have too much in the way of vegetarian or vegan options, and their veggie dolsot bibimbap still has oyster sauce in it. They have lunch combos that could definitely feed two. Service is fast and attentive and friendly, and food comes out promptly. Overall a good option for Korean food if you don't want to go all the way to Federal Way.

Additionally, I was unaware that I had arrived five minutes prior to the business's opening time, despite the door being wide open. Several staff members passed by without acknowledging me, with one employee staring at me for a while. I wish they had greeted me promptly and informed me that the business would be opening soon, rather than leaving me feeling ignored. After a considerable amount of time had passed, the first thing the staff member said was, 'We are closed.' I was genuinely puzzled. It was not a good experience to start with, but ok. In contrast, the order taker was remarkably friendly. He greeted and communicated nicely. Other servers too. They raised my star rating higher. Culinary-wise, I had high expectations for bold flavors, given Paik Jong Won's founding and ownership. However, the Tangsuyuk was lacking in seasoning. The Jajangmyeon was acceptable but not outstanding. My friend's choice, Beef Jjamppong, while not my preference, was more appetizing than it appeared. The close by competitior has much more flavorful dishes, in my opinion. Wish for better experience from start to finish in the future.

Although we didn't order any dishes that made use of the advanced tabletop, I still think it's so cool! Despite the tables also having a digital kiosk, I appreciated how they still handed us actual menus and manually took our order, both of which are becoming less common these days. Our group started with some hot tea and ordered three dishes which was the perfect amount to share. We loved each item and I enjoyed tasting the various banchan side dishes (included with most main menu items): broccoli, traditional kimchi, omelet, potato, salad and kimchi cucumbers. I can be picky about kimchi, but this one had an ideal balance between tartness, spice, slight sweetness and umami. Their kimchi cucumbers were also a hit as they were refreshing with a tantalizing heat. + SEAFOOD PANCAKE ($25): My first time having a seafood pancake and it won't be my last! It was hot right off the pan with a crispy golden exterior. The seafood included baby shrimp, baby octopus and calamari. It seemed like the portion of seafood was reasonable since I had some in almost every bite, however I don't recall seeing much shrimp... mostly calamari and octopus. They added a lot of green onion, which I personally liked as it gave the pancake an element of freshness. This came with a side of soy dipping sauce, but I enjoyed it as is. The portion size was generous for the three of us. + KIMCHI BEEF TOFU SOUP ($22): This soup was basically a comforting hug in a stone pot. It arrived at our table, still bubbling, with a small bowl of rice. While there wasn't a ton of beef in the soup, the pieces were lean and tender and there was enough to split between the three of us. I loved the smooth silky tofu, and the kimchi gave the soup a little tang. Adding a scoop of rice into my personal bowl and pouring the soup on top made for perfect bites as the grains absorbed the broth. We requested a medium spice level which was just right for me. + HOT POT BI-BIM-BAP w/ CHICKEN ($25): You can't go wrong with this dish! Carrots, radish, zucchini, bean sprouts, spinach and a raw egg topped the bed of rice along with our protein choice of chicken. We stirred in the egg immediately and I enjoyed all the fresh vegetables in the bowl. The chicken was delicious as well and seemed to have a slightly sweet marinade. The best part is the little bites of rice that crisped up against the side of the bowl, adding some toasty notes and texture. We forgot to drizzle on some of the red chili sauce provided with the dish, so I'll need to do that next time! The three of us had a terrific dinner here and the service is so kind. We were checked on three times, which surpassed my expectations. We came for an early dinner on Sunday, so it was relatively quiet, even shortly after 6:00P. Even if the restaurant was full, the tables are spaced comfortably apart and I noticed they even had a separate section that is walled off for a larger group. Parking is also easy, running right alongside the neighboring walking trail. Needless to say, I'll be back!
