Usually a decent wait on the weekends..but with that being said it is usually...USUALLY...worth the wait time. Always get steak (medium) and shrimp...always tasty. I actually enjoy getting to see my good get prepared, just gives me a good price of mind...if you know what I mean. read more

I will never be back because of how horrible the service was unfortunately. All of the servers we encountered were so rude it was actually crazy. Never seen anything like it read more

I love the chicken fried rice at Kobe. I eat at Kobe's about twice a month. It is spinetingling good. The chef is extremely entertaining and funny. It is a dinner and a show. I fully recommend Kobe's to everyone. It is worth the drive (no matter where you live), and when you get done eating; you can buy groceries next door at Food City. read more

Our first welcome was the hostess who didn't even stand to greet us and told us to sit at a table at the end of the way. Our waiter was pleasant enough and checked in on us regularly though. The restaurant is nicely lit and not too harsh on the eyes. When we looked at the menu and were looking to order we were very surprised at how expensive everything was. One of the 5 piece sushi nigiri appetizers was $15.45. I ordered a caterpillar roll and salmon roll and a chicken broth (they don't have miso soup which was very surprising to me). The broth was great; Both rolls were alright and the presentation neat. The soy sauce was given in little plastic cups and was entirely too sweet from standard soy sauce. All in all it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. I wouldn't go back unless there was no other sushi place around. read more

Absolutely love Kobe Japanese Steak House! Their food style and flavors feel pretty authentic to me. I spend most of my time in Atlanta, but every time I'm near the lake, I make sure to stop by. Their specials are always a great choice--you really can't go wrong! ., read more

Food has been fairly good but last two times we have went into Kobe the service has been less that acceptable. Servers just seem like they don't care if your there or not. And maybe they don't care. read more

This used to be a good place to dine. But not anymore. Only took 5 minutes to be seated. But 16 minutes before a waitress came to get our drink order. Then 10 minutes to get the drinks. And fyi. We weren't in a rush. But the entire dinner took forever. Arrived at 5:43 pm. Walked out at 7:39. Came to take food order but no menus. There's now a poster on the wall with the menu. Only one and it was behind us. So has to turn and look best could. Not being nick picky but this isn't some mall cafe food joint lol. Order steak and chicken combo..... sorry sir we are out of chicken. Ma'am? Yes, sorry we are out of chicken. Ummm ok. Steak and shrimp then. Wife got steak and salmon. Also Something not expected was the "yumm yumm" sauce was given in small plastic containers. A little tacky for what this restaurant represents. Overall the food was good. Average of any hibachi grill. Oh, and they were out of broccoli with their vegetables. Also it seems their prices increased, which i understand. But also the quantity decreased. I normally always have leftovers to bring home. Not this time. Haven't been here in a while, and most certainly will be a lot longer while till next time, if any. Overall I would say go elsewhere. If you must have then might be ok to go. Just do not except friendly service and maybe they will have what's listed on the menu.wanted this to be great. But was average at best. 2 combo entrees. 2 sweat teas Total $100 read more

LOVE KOBE JAPANESE STEAK HOUSE!! Their food style and flavor was pretty authentic for me. I live in Atlanta most of the time but always go back to kobe whenever I am near visiting the lake. You can never go wrong with their specials:)) read more

My favorite Asian restaurant. Everytime we have a special date I always ask my husband for Kobe. The atmosphere is so much fun. However if you don't like the show you can eat on the other side. The food is super yummy. They are also super kind. My daughter has an allergy and they were very kind about us bringing her food so that the whole family could enjoy. read more

Was very disappointed in food. Everything I had was almost cold. Could smell the salmon before placed on my table, was awful. My wife didn't like the way her shrimp tasted. Our appetizer was cold and we had to fight flies while we were there. Not the way it used to be. At least we had a nice waitress. read more

Looking for a pre-dinner snack (yes, I know what I said). we stopped in here and were able to get seated at the bar immediately. To be seated at a table or booth we would have had a wait of probably 30 minutes. The staff was very friendly, but unfortunately there was some confusion on who was supposed to be our waiter/waitress. Several different staff members talked to us, then they figured it out. They felt very bad and considering how busy they were, no mark down on the star rating for this. We had a small bowl of soup and a salad that came with the typical ginger salad dressing. Fresh salad and the dressing wasn't done in excess like some of the places have a tendency to do. The sushi roll was spot on and was exactly what we were looking for. This was our second trip here and it was every bit as good as the first trip (except for the confusion about who would be waiting on us at the beginning). Overall great experience and we will be returning. read more

I don't know how to express how much I eat here. The staff is always super friendly and very prompt no matter what side you sit on. The Sushi here is absolutely fantastic. It's not too much other stuff and tastes authentic vs. a chain sushi restaurant. read more

Food is pretty good but rather pricey. I ordered the Fried Calamari as an appetizer but it didn't have much taste to it. The breading was unseasoned and overall, not worth the price to me. I enjoyed the sushi rolls. I ordered the Spider Roll and Eel Roll. Both were very good but again, you can probably find the same quality at other nearby places for half the price. read more

The place was VERY busy. Sushi was wonderful! Salad and soup good. Shrimp, salmon and chicken disappointing. Very over cooked, chicken was burnt on one side. Didn't ask for but server gave discount on ticket. Would go back but only for Sushi. read more

We had Kobe for dinner tonight. We both started with the chicken soup. I had the Yaki Soba with beef. My first time trying it and it was good! The flavor of the noodles is a little sweet and the beef was tender and cooked to my liking. Benilda had chicken fried rice. And, she will have it several times tomorrow too lol! Our waiter was very helpful with suggestions and attentive. In the dining room, there were plexiglass partitions between the tables, which i liked. Enjoyable dinner and dining experience. read more

Awesome place. Great food. In the mall. The place is not much to look at. But food was awesome

Kobe is in the Gadsden mall so it was perfect to swing in and try before a movie. However, I can say the experience overall was disappointing. First of all, the place is really clean and nice and up to date. You get to choose to sit at the grill or a table. Since my friends and I had a movie to make in about an hour, we chose a table so we wouldn't have to wait. My trouble came from what I ordered and the price. I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate for $14.95. It comes with soup, salad, chicken, rice, and vegetables. I don't really like the soup so the waiter offered 2 bowls of salad instead. I liked that very much even though the salad is just lettuce, carrots, and the special dressing made out of ginger. When the rest of my plate came, I thought it was not a big portion for the price I paid. The rice and vegetables were pretty good. I felt like I should have been given more vegetables. The worst part of the meal was the chicken. It was like they threw one chicken breast into a pan and lightly brushed it with teriyaki. Most Japanese places I've been to in the past drown their chicken in teriyaki. It wasn't inedible or horrible by any means, but it was just plain. I asked for extra teriyaki sauce and the server brought me a whole cup full that helped. But paying $14.95 for basically a plain chicken breast that I could have cooked at home made me feel like a chump. I don't really like seafood so if I ever do go back, I will try the beef. My friends also told me you usually get more food at the grill. Kobe wasn't a horrible place to eat by any means. It's just that I thought I should have been given a larger portion for the price I paid and that there would have been more teriyaki to my teriyaki chicken. read more

Easily the most disappointing restaurant in Gadsden. Went out on a date night with my wife for something different. Ordered the salmon and shrimp. My wife ordered the salmon. The chef was friendly and performed all of the usual Japanese restaurant tricks. When the chef arrived he placed the salmon on the grill. I kid you not when I say the salmon was cut in a steak form and quarter of an inch thick. I almost think even the chef was surprised because he over cooked it so much it was similar to jerky. He then proceeded to pass all of my shrimp out to the rest of the table. I ordered salmon and shrimp and received 2 pieces of shrimp just like everyone else. They didn't order shrimp. I spent almost $70 and I received a pile of rice, vegetables, one ounce of salmon and two shrimp. Needless to say I will never return. I wish them luck but I anticipate they will be out of business soon. Return customers will become a problem. read more

Went in and ordered takeout. The menu online was not for this branch, so of course that required a phone call home to get an amended order. It took them 55 minutes to give me 3 sushi rolls and an order of chicken tenders. People that were waiting to be seated when I placed my order were leaving well before I received my food. When I got home, a five minute drive away, my chicken tenders were nowhere near freshly made, room temperature and no longer crunchy. Will never return. read more

We went in on a Saturday evening with 5 people. The wait was quoted 25 and held true. However, 10 minutes to get drinks, 30 mins to get salad and soup, and an hour and 15 mins to start the cooking. We were in there for 2 hours. No refills and the quality and quantity of the food is over priced freezer food. Please don't waste your time or money. read more

Really wanted good hibachi tonight. Taste was average, temperature was Luke-warm. Nothing to get excited about, but it wasn't terrible either. read more

This isn't the best Japanese in the area, I would give that honor to Fuji over in Oxford, but if you are in Gadsden looking for Japanese this is the best place to go. The space is nice, clean, and welcoming. The service reliably efficient and polite. The fried rice doesn't disappoint, that's what you're really going for anyways, right? The fried tofu appetizer is also quite good. The Hawaiian sushi roll is awesome!!! The salad and the soup is the same as it is at every Japanese restaurant, no surprises there. They have always had great bar service and been willing to mix up interesting new drinks when I was there. On the other hand, the meat and veggies always seem to be missing a marinade or some extra flavor to my taste. Now if you're that person who is going to drench everything in the shrimp sauce, and who doesn't love that, you probably won't ever notice what I'm talking about and you'll think it's great! If you don't love the shrimp sauce, you might however find your meal to be a bit bland. If that's the case, just order the fried rice and get a nice appetizer or sushi for your protein & veggies, you'll be much happier with that. read more

Good sushi is hard to find. This place is nice and clean. The food was great. I'll be back.

We travel all the time and eat Japanese hibachi. No place has the consistency of good food, great soup, fresh salad and cooking that's seasoned and cooked pretty perfectly. We come home to eat the best !!! Kobe and the manager Nami....5 stars!!! read more

Anyone who has anything bad to say about this place is nuts! I have been eating here since they open, and usually go two times a month. The managers and servers are amazing, the sushi chef is ALWAYS friendly, and the food beats any other sushi place in Gadsden, hands down. They also have delicious saki, and a ton of food options for everyone (including those who don't enjoy sushi and sashimi as much as I do.) read more

Great food and service ,but restaurant was extremely hot almost to the point it was uncomfortable to eat

I have been before when it was good. Last Saturday I went with a new friend from Mobile area. It was an embarrassment to me. The steak and shrimp tasted old or bad. The fried rice did not have much egg or anything...the cook never made eye contact and never interacted with us or anyone at our table...it was a total let down in every way. That is too much money for this experience. Again I have been and had a good experience but this was embarrassing. read more

The food is pretty good and the show by the chef is great for kids. The hostess, however, is extremely rude!

This place has gone down hill... the chef used little too no seasoning or sauce on the hibachi... the fried rice had no vegetables and maybe 2 squirts of soy sauce... they do not have mustard sauce anymore therefore they can not put it in the fried rice... for 30 bucks I had a terrible meal... please do not go here any more...also out grill was not cleaned before our chef began there was rice and noodles stuck on the grill! Yuck read more

it's a good place and the food taste not to American Style. I like that Katsuton and the busboy very nice.

This place was terrible. The waitress seemed to hate her job and only grunted in response to our questions. And the food was terrible and compared to other places like this we got hoarsely any food. And on top of it all my husband and I both got sick from eating here. read more
