Kobe

Terrible service, tough meat and very expensive. We sat on the table side (not the grill) and ordered hibachi. Our waiter did not come by other than to take our orders and drop off our first drinks. We had to ask the hostess for drinks, a box and to cash us. Waiter was too busy talking at the bar through the meal. The restaurant itself looks pretty neat, but it was hard to enjoy with no air conditioning running on a 90 degree day. Entire place just smelled like sweat. Portions were generously sized, but everything was relatively bland and the chicken and steak (ordered medium rare) were incredibly tough and overcooked. Vegetables were probably the only good thing in the meal. Not worth the price.

Very good food. I love how they give you noodles and rice at no extra charge. The chef was very generous with Yum Yum sauce which was great. The wait time for a chef was almost 45 minutes which was a little long for lunch time and there were no other grills goingZ the food had a good taste and I would recommend anyone to try this place out.

Ive went to SO many Teppankayi and Hibachi restaurants and this one was unfortunately pretty boring with mediocre food, which was especially disappointing since I was taking some relatives who've never been to any type of Japanese steakhouse. We made reservations for lunch, and there wasnt any wait since they only allowed a certain amount of customers at a time. Although it wasnt busy, the floors were SO sticky, it was noticeable to everyone. The host was really polite and quick, and was the most friendly and talkative of all the employees (who were all masked, but clearly not smiling). The chef was nice and seemed friendly the little bit he spoke... but there wasnt any showmanship or effort. We were lucky we got at least the fire 🔥 blast for a moment of fun, but otherwise the chef did no tricks, no show, no talking, etc. Just cooked ... but zero show. It was such a disappointment. A Pro would be that the food does taste good, and the prices are typical as well. However, our 6 orders were all messed up, and some pple didnt even get what they ordered. So basically, if you just want to have the food, and dont go for a show (but who doesn't go for a show?) its probably ok, but, if you are going for a normal steakhouse show, this place is not going to provide that.

I have eaten at a lot of hibachi restaurants and always love the food. Kobe was no different. Had the steak and lobster, which was perfection. What differentiated Kobe from most other places was the amount of food you receive. I ate until I was stuffed and still had enough left over for another meal. If you want to enjoy the goodness more than once, I definitely recommend giving it a try.

I ordered take out and everything was burnt and overcooked. I order the trio lobster, chicken and shrimp. I couldn't tell if the lobster was chicken or shrimp it was so badly overcooked. It was the worse $50 I have ever spent on food. I just moved to Columbia and heard great things about Kobe in STL; however, my experience was atrocities. At around 8:30pm my stomach was hurting so bad and kept me up vomiting until 1am. NEVER AGAIN....🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢

NEVER GOING BACK!! Tonight we decided to take my daughter out to Kobe for a birthday dinner. In the past we have done this and had a great time, they gave a great fruit dessert and took our photo for a card so we decided to come back, well it was completely different. When we first sat down we let our waiter know it was my daughters birthday and he promised a cheesecake desert, which sounded perfect. Then the cook came out and he barley put a show on at all he didn’t do the onion fire or anything he just cooked the food and moved on and sorry if I am mistaken but I believe the point of going to Kobe is to have a fun show but nope didn’t happen. As soon as the cook got done the waiter came back and immediately started pressuring us to leave, we had just got our food! The waiter never refilled our drinks, and never checked on how the food was. Then he came back and let us know there was no cheese cake left after promising my daughter a slice, he didn’t even offer a replacement just gave a big “too bad”. The food was also way worse and over priced. For four people it was $120.00! And the waiter literally did not have the decency to even grab the cups correctly instead he held them by the top where we drank.

Usually love going here but things were different this time. The cook/chef didn't do the normal things and barely talked to us. Also after we ate and he turned off the vent cold air was rushing over our table, everyone at our table was talking about it! The food was good but once he walked away all of our food got cold.

Damon did a great job. He was distracted by something he admitted wasn't his job so we didn't get our salads. I guess there isn't soup either anymore or we didn't get them. The food was still good. The one that ran the grill did a wonderful job entertaining the children. Wasn't the best experience but guess it could have been worse.
