Wonderful experience. Our chef interacted with us tons. Making jokes, doing the volcano. He had a gag bottle that shot out a string that made my daughter jump. The server was great, always making sure out finished plates were removed immediately, without being seen!! The food was wonderful. Plain and simple, a great meal.

I have been to Kobe‘s many times, I used to love this restaurant.
since the pandemic it has went downhill tremendously,
I would not recommend anyone to go to go to Kobe‘s Japanese steakhouse in Independence mo.
I took my niece for her 10th birthday.
The temperature inside the restaurant was cooler then it was outside the only source of heat they had was a couple little heaters as you can see in one of the pictures. I was thankful for the chef he tried to start a couple fires on the grill to keep us warm.
I spoke with the owner a couple times about how cold it was inside and she said they had heat and smiled. Yes you have two little room heaters in a good size restaurant.
I downloaded a indoor room thermometer and took a screenshot of the temperature.
I’m not the type of person the leave a review
But
I feel like people should know this before they go especially if it’s cold 🥶
Take your snowsuit and gloves and I’m sure you’ll enjoy paying $55 for a kids meal and one adult meal.
Sincerely unsatisfied customer

Great. But super pricey for the kids menu. Same amount of everything the adult meal has except the steak is half and not the whole. Not sure about the chicken. We were freezing cold the whole time we were there.

My friend and I took out tween daughters out for hibachi. It was her friend’s first experience, but we eat hibachi pretty frequently. The cook was an absolute bore. I’ve never had such a boring experience. He didn’t even have a name tag so that we could try to engage him. I’ve also never seen the meet cooked before the veggies, which was odd. The food was bland but the presentation was nice. Other tables were having fun laughing and interacting with the chef while
we sat and watched them. I’ll give it one more try and update the review accordingly.

Awful. Seriously go to a different Japanese steak house. Where to start.. waiting area is sitting in the middle of the restaurant with all the tables around.. Whatever. Finally get a grill seat, table mostly clean. The grill had some remnants. Salad anyone? Try a little lettuce with a huge glob of mayo without flavor- it was nasty. No option for without dressing. Let's try the miso soup. Wrong again. Broth with spaghetti noodles. Nothing else. Nothing that you would get in a typical miso, no shallot, no mushroom, nothing. Spaghetti and broth. Ok main course.. steamed rice- they didn't screw that up. Fried rice $3 more per person... for day old rice and a couple little carrot bites, and way more water than one should need if the rice wasn't stale. The taste was ok. Main course? I ordered the pepper steak, saw it come out and it looked amazing, lean and tenderloin like. Others ordered ribeye. He sliced it all up, cooked it, and into my plate i got 3 bites of pepper steak and a pile of fatty ribeye ends. And it was all heavily salted. The hibachi chef didn't talk to anyone, he didn't perform any of the standard tricks.
Go to a better place, that's more affordable and gives better quality food. This is the worst hibachi I've ever been to. Food quality sucked, service sucked, prices high.

Wish we could have had the drinks we ordered... but they didn't have enough bowels for the Volcano drinks for the table. But the food was good and service was great.

We will be going back.
