Tonkatsu bento (missing salad and miso soup)
Vinh M.

This spot seems to have been around for a long time, hence the number of reviews already posted. It's a hole-in-the-wall location, or in this case a hole-in-the-side since it faces the street but isn't that noticeable. I decided to come here with a friend on a Friday night around 6pm, and got here using street parking that was hard to come across. You could probably stay for a long time here just enjoying conversations with friends; the inside feels like a fine-dining steak restaurant mixed with bar-like noise levels but instead of chatter you hear today's most popular K-pop music from LE SSERAFIM, for example. The menu is expansive and covers everything from bento boxes to specialty sushi to a really large ramen bowl that you can try finishing in half an hour for a $100 gift card to use at the restaurant. I got a tonkatsu bento, and my friend got their chicken katsu bento. We both weren't too satisfied with what we got: - We each got California rolls as our sushi side. Pretty standard but filling. You can sub for spicy tuna rolls for $1 more. - Sides like the miso soup and salad were served in separate bowls sometime before our bento boxes were served. Standard for both as well but I love me some salad dressed in sweet sauces. - The tempura and fried selection was one of our favorites. Gyoza was all right, but the shrimp tempura was fresh, hot and crispy. There was one tempura that I thought would be a potato croquette but then ended up tasting more like a hash brown. It was also a little thinner than what I remember a potato croquette being. - Our biggest issue was, sadly, the katsu itself - for both of our bento boxes. Regardless of meat, the outer coating was pretty hard, so much so it even scratched the roofs of our mouths when we ate it. Neither meat was particularly juicy though I slightly preferred my friend's chicken katsu over the tonkatsu I got; it was ever so slightly juicy and my mouthfeel could only subtly pick that up. Service overall was great; we got our orders promptly, water was refilled without us asking, and our server would ask how we were doing at times. This was still a great experience, just the food we got wasn't great. If I come back, I'll try their sushi and maybe even risk the huge ramen bowl.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Menu

This place was very good for lunch! It was hot outside and my partner and I were very hungry from walking around town all day. Kobe was very cool inside and had fast and friendly staff. There were a lot of choices on the menu and I got a mixed plate. The food was absolutely amazing. Very happy I stopped here. Memorable experience.

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!

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.

For food, I ordered the mixed (seafood + beef) tofu soup which came with 4 assorted ban chan, fried fish and ceramic pot white rice. Note: there's peas on the rice. My husband ordered the combo tofu soup + protein entree, which he chose beef tofu soup and bulgogi (thinly sliced marinated beef) and it was delicious! We shared the entree since it was pretty large size. The combo also came with side dishes, rice and fried fish. It was nicely grilled, easy to eat with small bones. Ban chan was pretty unlimited with staff constantly walking around to check in and make sure you have enough side dishes to enjoy with your meal. I have to note, the service is incredible! I couldn't have had a better lunch experience than my first time at Cho Dang. Will be back soon and highly recommend to friends :)

The spice level was at spicy, but it wasn't an unbearable spicy. Just the right amount. Their tofu stews come with banchan that included zucchini, fish cake, bean sprouts, and Kimchee.

They served us barley tea to start with and continuously checked to make sure everything was good. The layout of the restaurant itself is very spacious and clean. It's a very comfy restaurant and the food items pair well especially when it's cold and raining outside. Would highly recommend trying this place out.

While the meat jajangmyeon…read morehad a great taste profile from my last visit, I got their beef jjamppong this time around and wow I wish I got this one earlier! The beef broth is on the verge of being too salty but it's balanced by the sheer amount of black pepper that you can taste and not really see inside the clear broth. There's also a ton of beef and veggies inside, and got noodles for this dish. Noodles themselves were al dente and fresh. Friend and I also shared a side of fried dumplings, which came out very hot and didn't really need the sauce provided on our table, as everything already had enough taste. Staff brought out the food relatively fast - within about 10 minutes for all our dishes - and this is on top of the restaurant becoming a full house throughout the hour we stayed. People even started lining up near the waiting area after a while, that's how packed this place gets!

What did I get here? Of course it's the jjajangmyun! Very authentic, saucy, with noodles cooked how I like them - i.e., NOT overcooked. The sauce sticks to the noodles fairly well. The space feels like what I would describe as 'cafeteria-style' if you get that vibe: you order and pay at the counter first, take one of the number stands, sit down wherever, and wait for your order. There's a container of room temperature drinking water at each table. The noodles come with pickled radish, but I did wish it came with more banchan - for instance, kimchi, fish cakes, and potato salad, just to name a few. Not bad for the crowd on a Wednesday night. Knocking off 1 star because I wish my noods came with more banchan and I haven't tried other dishes yet so withholding that star for until next time!

My friends and I stopped by Danji Korean Cuisine for dinner and I was honestly blown away by the…read morequality of the food here. As visitors from the Bay Area where there are a bunch of Korean restaurants, I can confidently say the food here is far better than your average Bay Area Korean restaurant. Between the four of us, we ordered a 12 half-and-half piece wing set, a seafood pancake, a tofu soup, and a beef bibimbap. Although food takes a long time to come out of the kitchen, the food is worth the wait! The seafood pancake was some of the best seafood pancake that I've had. The pancake had generous amounts of seafood in it and the crispiness could not be beat. Although the bibimbap comes in a large stone pot and is sizzling hot coming out of the kitchen, you unfortunately aren't able to extract any burnt rice from the bottom. Perhaps a little bit more oil is needed to achieve this? Despite this, it's still a really nicely constructed bibimbap bowl with a solid variety of vegetables. The chicken wings are crispy on the exterior and juicy on the interior. The wings are on the larger size, so once you get past the thin layer of crispy skin on the outside, I recommend dipping the wing back into the leftover sauce on the plate for more flavor. Last but not least, the tofu soup had a deep kimchi flavor, and was very mild in terms of spiciness. I thought the rice cakes included in the bowl were cooked perfectly and had a nice bounce to them. Overall, if you're looking for Korean food in this part of town, I don't think Danji Korean Cuisine can be beat.

The staff was efficient and friendly. We ordered the Katsu Ramen, Seafood Pajeon, and Galbi Soup. The Katsu Ramen came with instant noodles, which were different from Japanese ramen. I enjoyed the instant noodles as they had great flavor, but the katsu was a little hard and not crunchy. The Seafood Pajeon was excellent--it was crunchy and delicious. The Galbi Soup came with a lot of beef, but we found the galbi to be saltier than usual, and the beef might not have been as fresh. The seating was spacious. Parking was easy with street parking.
