We came in as 3 people and a toddler w/ a high hair. The hosts ask if you're in for hibachi or sushi side, we sat on the sushi side. They gave us menus and I assumed they didn't have a kids menu because I wasn't given one, I had asked the server about it and she went and retrieved one for us. The menu is confusing, as we learned while ordering there is a difference between hibachi and sushi. If you sit on the sushi side you CANNOT order from a certain part of the menu and vice versa. There should be separate menus for this. Throughout the service the server did a good job checking on us but at the end she had dirty tables and we were neglected. The guests sitting around us were given boxes, checks, and cashed out before we ever were. We sat there for quite a while before the server offered us dessert, which by that time we were way more than ready to just leave. I understand busy, but this server prebussed our table until we only had drinks while the guests around us tables were filthy, but those people were cashed out and they left. Then we saw her snipping at a busboy to clear her tables for her. For food, 2 of us got sushi rolls, 1 of us got a steak and vegetable, and the kids chicken meal. The sushi was yummy, the steak was horrible- just horrible, and the kids was a very good portion; my son only ate the rice so the rest of us ate his food. He wasn't a fan of the sauce on the chicken. Service goes a long way in a restaurant and it can make a bad meal seem ok as long as you're taken care of. We were disappointed. read more

Overall, a good experience that could have been great if not for lackluster staff attitude. Stepping into the restaurant, I'm impressed with the overall size and set up of KOBE. Lots of room and a very cool vibe. The staff is where KOBE takes its hit. Not friendly at all, they seemed to be barely doing the minimum to get by. The couple of staff I interacted with had no personality at all. Seemed like everyone around the store did not want to be there. The food was quickly brought out, which was notably impressive. It was also very good. We had teriyaki beef, chicken, and salmon which were all delicious, along with the soup and salad. The volcano and shrimp tempura rolls were also good and full of flavor. Very happy with the food we received. Overall, I would be happy to come back but it would be nice to have a more friendly staff environment. read more

Very good sushi for Montana!! The grizzly roll is our favorite. Lots to choose from on the menu and you can always choose to eat at the tables where they cook in front of you. Service is great especially if they cook in front of you the chefs are very entertaining. Always clean and nice atmosphere. read more

First time trying Kobe.Had three two sushi rolls and chicken teriyaki. Overpriced lunch special. It was 85$,just me.Rolls are good sized but had virtually no fish just rice. I am convinced that every sushi restaurant in kalispell iscomplete garbage.Kobe is probably the worst. I honestly can't believe how these restaurants up here.Overcharge for such poor quality food. I have had better sushi quality in a grocery store. Rolls are 25 to 28 dollars each, and there is no fish in these rolls. You would think the owners of these restaurants would be embarrassed, but they're not read more

My friends' group love to have our special lunches there. The staff for the most part is very friendly. The food is great and is served in a very timely manner. We have our luncheons there often. Love the seafood pizza and the avocado bomb. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for years, celebrating birthdays and bringing family and close friends because it used to be a place we trusted. After last night, we will never return. We were there for my husband's birthday, with our son and our close friends, and the experience was completely ruined. The table next to us was out of control -- screaming, slamming their fists on the table, and acting aggressively loud and belligerent. It was so bad that we had to yell just to talk to the person sitting right beside us. Even our cook struggled to prepare our meal because of how disruptive they were. What made everything worse was the total lack of action from the staff. Not one employee stepped in. No one asked that table to calm down. The cook preparing their food didn't seem to care how disruptive they were being. No one checked on us, acknowledged the situation, or made any attempt to protect the dining environment. This is supposed to be a family restaurant, not a bar. Yet the atmosphere felt chaotic, uncomfortable, and completely inappropriate for families. We were so upset we couldn't even finish our meal. After years of choosing this place for special occasions, last night made it clear that we can no longer support an establishment that shows such disregard for its customers and their experience. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

So yummy. Amazing service and the food was incredible. Very accommodating, I don't eat eggs and they were happy to cook my rice separately so great! read more

We stopped by for lunch on Sunday. The rolls were excellent (as usual). The presentation was stepped up of our food was raised to a new level. It looked delicious and tasted better than it looked. I had the Volcano Roll and my wife had the Baked Grizzly Roll. We began our meal with an appetizer order of Spring rolls (5). The service is exceptional as usual. The Itamaes (sushi chefs) are behind the counter preparing the masterful works of art and flavorful rolls for our consumption. It is a casual dining experience for the whole family. read more

I've ate at this Kobe since 2018. It has been going downhill for a number of years. The food has gotten worse over time and the customer service is now horrendous. On my latest visit I walked in around 5:00 pm to pick up the order I phoned in. After walking in, I stood at the front desk area for about ten minutes as various staff and servers walked around ignoring me. Finally a lazy, apathetic, fat kid stumbled out of the bathroom and approached the front desk area. I told him my name and that I was there to pick up my order. He checked on it with the sushi men and then walked away. After more waiting he eventually walked back tot the sushi area, stated my name, and placed the bags on the counter, once again walking away. I specifically asked for them to include soy sauce in my order because I was on the road, but no surprise they didn't include any! I think as customers purchasing expensive Japanese food we deserve better than this. I would encourage everyone that's had a negative experience at this location to reach out to their corporate headquarters and complain. I know I will as of tomorrow! Customers deserve better. I won't be back at this location again. read more

Great service, quick and friendly, specialty roll was HUGE! And delicious. Chicken and steak fried rice was delish too. All positives for this Asian fusion spot and on par with some of the better we've had all over the US! read more

I wanted to like it. Sashimi was limp and room temperature, rolls fell apart and were hard to eat, way too much cream cheese?? . We sat with dirty dishes and sushi boat in front of us for the entire time we were there. Our waitress wanted to pay up, even though we were still drinking our saki. Just not a great standard of food or attentive service for meal that cost over 100$. Won't be back for that. read more

Good grief people. Take some pride in your establishment. It's a nice restaurant with good food and good service. Yet every seat in the restaurant looks like Freddy Kruger slashed them with his scissor fingers. And it's been this way for far too long. I'm at a loss as to why you would let this go for so long? read more

The staff is horrible. We were shorted on our order. When my wife called to ask them about the mistake they admitted the mistake. When we asked how they planned on fixing the problem they refused to credit us for the $38.00 steak that they shorted us. When we asked to speak to a manager the receptionist hung up not once but twice. I would not recommend. read more

Have been 3x and every experience was great. Fast service. Super fun interactive chef and perfectly cooked food. We usually get steak, shrimp and scallop hibachi. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Never answer the phone or you call & it says "mailbox full". Servers aren't exactly what I would call friendly. Not really rude but it's like they don't care. Online ordering needs to be fixed as they can't seem to get the orders right. Tried 3 times. The food is good, bathrooms were clean, ok tables... only reason for 2 stars. Might stop is & grab something quick but I'll never use this place as a dinner out location & I won't be ordering take out ever again. read more

My sisters and I dropped in to satisfy our sushi craving...tbh this wasnt our first stop but we aren't mad either. The service was sub par but not the worst that i've experienced since venturing on this side of the country. The tuna poke salad was ok honestly could use sauces like Sriracha and Mayo, soy wasabi?.... It served more like a palette cleanser tbh.....That was my only dislike everything else was yummy...The mussels are basically like all the mussels you get at any restaurant. read more

A USED bandaid in my stir fry veggies! I ordered the most expensive steak on the menu and when my vegetables were plated at the hibachi table there was a USED bandaid in them! I was disgusted! I told the chef and he just laughed it off. I HAD TO ASK for a new plate of veggies. When the server asked how everything was I told her about the bandaid. She asked the manager to discount my bill and the request was denied. The manager never talked to me or apologized. The entire experience was hugely disappointing and ruined by the unsanitary meal preparation. My family and I will never go to Kobe again. read more

Absolute terrible time. Service was absolutely horrible and disrespectful. Me and my fiancé went here for our anniversary and were absolutely treated like trash by the waiter and chef. Will never be coming here again and I do not recommend this place whatsoever to anyone. read more

The food is just not... . Service is just little below average. If there was a half a star, that is what I will give.

This was my first time here and stopped in for dinner. I ordered the Phad Thai and was absolutely horrible. I had to spit out my first bite. The server shared that they have a new chef and this wasn't the first plate she had to send back. I thought to then order something 'safe' and commonly ordered, and ordered a delicious spicy sushi roll. So much better and it was wonderful! The server was so kind and really appreciated her understanding of asking to order something to replace the Phad Thai and offering great customer service. read more

I invited my 74 year old sister to lunch for her birthday. We were a party of 5! We were all meeting there. My sister uses a walker. We were told to go sit on the bench by the windows, not allowed to sit at the tables!! The dining room had seating for probably 200 people and had not 1 person in the entire place!! The chef cooked food very well but put on the worst performance of anyplace I had eaten before! He screwed up his juggling and didn"t do any other fun stunts! We were seated end of the table where we would not get to see the performance straight on! had there been a crowd I would understand! read more

KOBE Steak & Sushi - Grizzly Roll was Amazing! Will definitely be back, service was great, wet friendly staff - Sushi Bars Near Me - Kalispell, Montana

Review of take out sushi after re-open (after Covid-19): Grizzly Baked Roll: $18.55 Shrimp tempura, crab inside and topped with avocado, scallops, crawfish & crab. It was pretty tasty and had so many different kinds of seafood. Crazy Dog: $16.55 Salmon, cream cheese, shrimp tempura inside and topped with crab, tempura flakes, spicy mayo & eel sauce. Pretty good roll but wasn't too keen on the large chunks of cream cheese inside. Overall, the sushi's quality and taste were pretty good -- I am a bit picky too. Both of these rolls were served in one "to go" tray which is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 .... because if I'm paying over $35 for 2 rolls, then they should be a decent size. These were small rolls for the price I paid, which barely fed 2 adults (we were still hungry when we finished). The "specialty rolls" average $16-19, which is on the higher price of sushi, especially considering the locale & the amount of food you actually get. When I went inside to get the food, the staff were very friendly. Before I left, I peeked in the bag to make sure I had soy sauce--I saw only one pair of chopsticks. So, that reinforces the portion size: maybe they really did think that only one person was going to eat these 2 rolls (it was possible!). I'd return to try their hibachi grill as it looks like it receives decent reviews. read more

(Per my 9 year old friend) "Kobe is awesome anyone that sees this text go to Kobe now the workers are nice and l love the chef,cooking"

My wife and I had sushi and teriyaki chicken, sushi did not taste fresh some of the worst I have had. Teriyaki chicken was ok. The service was ok for some reason they had trouble finding silverware. Also my wife had wine glass was empty for 20 minutes before they asked if she wanted another glass. I wasted $80 dollars. read more

This place is super fun I love getting any of the cooks they all bring their own special show. The feels almost like a fancy restaurant but it's nice and comfortable at the same time. The food is absolutely delicious. This is the best fried rice I've ever had in my life. and all of my proteins have always been cooked to perfection read more

Ordered a large sushi order for pickup. I really enjoyed the sushi but some of the people in my party weren't as impressed. I've been craving it ever since! They do NOT take American Express. But they do also have hibachi grills so that's cool. Looking forward to dining in one day read more

Good food, fun atmosphere. Friendly staff. I wish they had a yum yum sauce that was standard for Hibachi grills.

The food was good, but not the best I've had. The food had flavor to an extent. In my consideration it tasted like there was no salt, even though soy sauce is supposed to add a salt like flavor due to the ingredients. But the food just didn't have enough. The menu was a little complicated to read but it was do-able. The choices of having either noodles or fried rice were a little unclear. The Kobe steak apparently wasn't tender enough, and tasted like the other steak that was half the price. I was t the one to try it but that is what I was told. The staff was upper nice though. The workers were quick and friendly. The look of the interior design was very pretty. All in all, a fairly good place, would recommend read more

Really bad sushi. Incredibly bland and even the ginger was dried out and gritty. The calamari, chicken fried rice and sushi was all terrible. We threw away the majority of our food. Nothing worth eating that we got and we got 6 different rolls. This is garbage. read more

If you know my work here on Yelp you know I am a pretty positive reviewer. But this one will not be. The food tasted pretty good. It was not seasoned the way it has been at other hibachi restaurants. But every place does it a little different. Our salmon sashimi was good but the "chef" did not cook it. Lol!! There was a full table around the hibachi and our chef looked more like a mountain man than a sushi chef. But again every place is different. He began cooking and set out 2 extra plates on the side. Which was confusing to us. As he began cooking the food he cut was cut all different sizes. My filet had a 2 inch cube and some 1/2 in cube pieces. Very Inconsistent. My husband ordered scallops and shrimp, even though the chef cooked several my husband got 6; the remaining scallops he divided between the other 2 extra plates. Our friends were at the end of the circle and as he served the veggies he kept serving less and less and still put some on the extra plates. So our friends barely had any vegetables. This was the first time I have been to Japanese hibachi restaurant and left hungry. After everything was cooked and served we asked for yum yum sauce and then we were served the sauce in kind of a hurry. When we left we saw the chef and his daughter eating at the bar the food that he had cooked. Which would be fine if we hadn't gotten gypped on our portions. Should have read the reviews before we picked this place. Read the reviews! read more

Our experience was horrible! My husband, 1 year old son and I came to eat and our waitress forgot about us the entire time. There was three other people seated next to us, who received the best service and not one thing was forgotten. Meanwhile, our drinks and my sushi order were not even ordered. When the bill was brought, the waitress included the sushi order. I explained it was never brought out and she did not apologize or offer to put in the order. I was double charged for the drinks on the bill. There was no manager on staff or on call to reconcile the situation. The most horrible dining experience of my life. I will mot be bringing my family back to this location. ** The manager never called me about the situation, which the staff promised me would. Safe to say this location does not care at all about their customers. read more
