Reviews for Kobé Japanese Steakhouse - Tampa in St. Petersburg, FL

Everything about the experience was delightful and the food was amazing. Some of the best hibachi I've had. Quality ingredients... and a staff that takes pride in food and service. I will return and highly recommend if you're craving hibachi. Read more

I was taken here as a surprise for my birthday, and let me tell you, Kobe never misses. Chef Andy prepared our exquisite meals... in getting off us with some fun and a light hearted show, even a little magic trick with an egg! Our server was Michael, whowas very professional and kind, able to quickly take our order and answer questions others at our hibachi table had (not in ourparty). They had very attentive staff, refilling waters and beverages without delay. The entire dining room seemed very cleanand well kept, even at other hibachi tables almost immediately after everyone had left it. The hood above ours (and others fromwhat I could tell) was very well cleaned and nicely kept (the easiest to overlook in a hibachi restaurant), and the stove topwas cleaned and scraped between every different dish (quite efficiently at that) in front of us by our chef. I had the steak andshrimp combo, and both were very well seasoned and cooked exactly as requested. The rice made for everyone before the dishes wasextremely good and I couldn't help but finish all of it before I was able to get anything else on my plate. The noodles weredecent, though I prefer more garlic, everyone else seemed to love them just the same. At our table, another group ordered Waygusteak and it was cooked first for a very pleasantly assembled platter, and they kept saying how it was perfectly cooked and that"it melts in your mouth like butter!" We enjoyed the time we had there and although there is another Kobe location closer towhere we live, we will be returning here! Read more

A fun place to eat! The wait can be a little long, even with reservations and the prices are pretty high. The food tastes fresh... though and it's one of the better hibachi places we've been. Read more

Had an amazing time! The food and ambience was outstanding!!! The host Eric greeted us as soon as we entered. We had... reservations and were seated quickly. Kobe's steakhouse has been on my bucket list for a long time and when I say they did notdisappoint! The service was great from start to finish. Our waitress Amara was very attentive and helpful with menu selections.Chef Tony was funny and friendly and the food was amazing. He did everything to make sure the entire table was satisfied. Iselected this drink called the "scorpion" and it was so good. It is a two person drink but it was to good to share. We willdefinitely be returning and bringing along the rest of the family!

Food was really good. I could have had bowls and bowls of their soup. I ordered the steak and shrimp. It was so tasty. ... Great flavors. And of course the reason for most people going is the chef entertainment. Our guy was super funny and cookedmy food to perfection. I'm really picky about my steak and he did it perfectly. Read more
