I have tried on several occasions to eat here but the quality of the food and taste keeps getting worse. Today, I ordered a half-and-half, rice, and noodles combo on June 10, 2026, at 1:45 p.m. at the drive-thru. The menu description mentioned BBQ pork and chicken with mushrooms. However, I received chopped-up mystery meat instead. There were mushrooms and zucchini, but no chicken. The rice was greasy, and the noodles were bland. I'm so disappointed. I threw $11.30 in the trash. I was afraid this greasy food and red dye dried mystery meat would make me sick. Definitely lots of room for improvement at this restaurant. It's really not even worth one star, but i had to rate it.

This place used to be good but, with the new ownership change, it isn't now. Probably the most…read moredisappointing BBQ Pork I have ever had. Previously, the pork is sliced to order. Now it is sliced ahead of time and the pieces sit in liquid until purchased. The pork absorbs whatever liquid it is in, making the meat an unappetizing color throughout. This did not add any moisture because the meat was already overcooked and dry to begin with. All the dark edges just means it is burned. The meat smelled burned. Other items, such as the Sweet and Sour Pork and Orange Chicken consisted mainly of thick fried batter and very little meat. The Orange Chicken did, however, have a tangy, citrusy sauce which tasted good. They may be experiencing some growing pains with the new ownership change. I should return in a few months to see if there is any improvement. The price point currently is not worth it due to the rather poor food quality.

The meal is made to order but comes very quickly. Chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly. Definitely get the teriyaki sauce when asked if you would like it over the grilled proteins.

I said, yes of course. I don't do much homecooking except for the basic stuff. I have attempted special home-cooked dishes in the past, but nowadays I ask myself, why spend energy, resouces, and time on a few okay dishes when we can pay the professionals for better tasting dishes and spend that time elsewhere on fun things LOL. For those passionate cooks who loves homecooking, all the power to you and when should I be over?... I'll bring dessert (store bought of course) LOL. I am waiting for the universe to send me a true soulmate who cooks... I will be more than happy to be their sous chef LOL. Kidding aside or not LOL... let's get back to this review... We got 3 entrees... overall, they were all good. The beef and chicken were tender. Veggies were very fresh and love the broccoli + cabbage combo. Seafood could have been more though. The only other thing was the teriyaki sauce flavor. It was too light and watery... needs to be thicker, heavier, and tastier. If you would like, you can ask for more sauces either on the entree or on the side. 1 Beef & Chicken Yakisoba 1 Seafood Yakisoba (shrimp, salmon, and scallop) 1 Shrimp & Chicken Rice Staff was pleasant. Cooks were okay. Line was very short from cashier to cooks so it can be a little squishy between customers unless the line shifts to the left away from the cashier. Prices are higher than before, but what isn't nowadays. We'll still return to Kobe when we're craving teriyaki foods. Hopefully, their teriyaki sauce would have improved by then. Happy Kobe'ing!

I showed the clerk who talked to the Manager (I assume) an older Asian man who told her I could get another meal. I said I would rather have a refund. This was when the Manager referred me to the bottom of the receipt which had "ALL SALES ARE FINAL." Disgusted, I said no, I would write a review to inform others they are dining at their own risk. The Manager was not alarmed about the review because again, the food is good and people will come. Someone suggested contacting THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, but I feel this is more of poor Management/Customer Service. I am hopeful Management will decide to improve and provide a healthier environment for paying customers before SOMEONE GETS SICK. The photos are of the receipt which nobody looks at until there is an issue and of the servers/cooks who were not at all unsettled this occurred.
