Great food, service, and atmosphere, at a reasonable price. Although I usually go for sushi, they also have Italian food and Hibachi cuisine. Great if you like sushi and someone else in the group does not! BOB

My new favorite restaurant 😁 thank you and please don't ever change on me. ❤️🙏 I ordered the chicken tempura sushi, The deep fried salmon sushi roll, we also did the chicken and steak hibachi dinner as well as a couple of different sushis and your noodles. We all three loved everything and will be back soon again thank you so much.

Yummy and quick. The host who handles your table is always on her game. Super efficient and your food comes out as quickly as it’s put in. I love doing the hibachi lunch meal because it’s so much food for a great price. Super filling. I come almost every week! Sushi combos cheaper than most places in the area and really delicious.

We are snowbirds but absolutely love Kobe’s Hibachi. We usually go biweekly the food is amazing, really delicious. You can’t beat the prices you get an unbelievable amount of food for$20-$50 The $50 would be seafood including lobster which is still the best price around for lobster. The staff is incredibly friendly, I highly recommend Kobe’s.

We come here pretty regularly with friends to get sushi. Delicious every time, prices are reasonable especially during their sushi happy hours, and the service is great. We're getting to the point where the waitress recognizes us.

I think they have one of the best fried rice dish around Largo/Clearwater. Their Fried Sushi 2011 rolls are fantastic. The two sauce mixture tops off the taste. I also enjoy their Ginger salad dressing, mild and very tasty. This restaurant has a small quiet quaint area out front with a small bar to just enjoy cocktails, then in the back are the hibachi tables. Try this place, you won't be disappointed. Even offers Italian dishes. My granddaughter loves their plain angel hair pasta with red sauce.

Another fantastic meal prepared and served by the very talented sushi chef Jasper! The food is always fresh and delicious, service by Lindy is warm, friendly, and fast, and being able to sit at the counter while Sam and Jasper make your dinner in front of you is always a treat. Prices are very good, portions are generous, and the welcoming staff will definitely make you feel like coming back.

Delicious food. We got the sake house for two, it was around $40-$50 in total. So typically we’d go to another hibachi place and we’d spend around $100 in total. But here we were able to get a deal, still bring leftovers home and get drinks within a budget. Really friendly people, great service.

My boyfriend and my favorite place! We love the happy hour sushi! My favorite roll is the Angry Bird. If you drink, they always have 2 for 1's. They also have a sit around grill if you are hungry for hibachi.

Visiting the area and was looking for Sushi for dinner. Found that they were close by. After I arrived I asked for suggestions for rolls with Salmon. After ordering the suggestions I got it to-go and headed back to my hotel to eat. I was VERY happy with the rolls. The Salmon was fresh and delicious. The staff was very nice.

The food is great. I love the cucumber sushi rolls and the chicken tempura rolls. The chicken hibachi is also really good. Don't forget the yum yum sauce! This is my favorite spot for both. The service is okay. It's a cute little restaurant, so I would say the atmosphere is great. I definitely recommend eating here.

I have to say the food was very good the wastaff was very good and attentive. however I asked chef specifically for my noodles and rice to be well done crispy he apparently ignored that and serve that to me first and then wanted to put it back on the grill ? We were with the a party of 13 so I didn't want to make a big deal I just wanted to let you know otherwise you would have five stars. Also he didn't even clean the grill after cooking! This is the first time I've ever commented on a restaurant but I was very disappointed about the chef's abilities

First time at this place and for sure the last. My shrimps were not cleaned at all and noodles were salty. Left very disappointed. Not recommended...

Completely Horrid from the sorry building, filthy, sticky menus and booth to the slimy lettuce and inedible food. Very disappointed. What a nightmare. Feel very ripped off by my first Groupon and this place.

I scheduled a work lunch of 10 people. We got there 15 minutes after they opened. We were seated in the back section at the hibachi tables and were told they don’t do the hibachi shows at lunch. Fair enough. But 3 of the hibachi tables had not been bussed or cleaned from the previous business day. There were plates with food, glasses with drinks, and the grills were not cleaned. Food on the floor. And mops and buckets all over. Absolutely unacceptable and supremely gross. It really made me question the quality of safety of my food. I understand there may be a staffing issues. But to just leave food sitting out from the night before and then bringing customers back to sit among it? Mind blown.

Every since new people took over they don’t cook on the hot table food take forever I order all the time it’s always something wrong please check food before leaving

It ain’t what it was! No Hibatchi. Just serve dinners cold. Recommend elsewhere. We have been going for years. Not ever anymore.

Terrible service, they no longer cook the food at the table. We waited for over an hour, just to watch the tables who came in after us get their food before us. Do not go here! Avoid at all costs!

I used to come here many times over 3 years ago. Unfortunately this place is not the same. It's actually vary bad. Was hair in the food. 50 minutes and the food is not ready. After 50 minutes they came out with only one plate and said they are sorry. If this is was full of people I would understand, but it was maybe 3 tables here that's all. I'll never come back here! Bad bad bad

Order food from here and they didn’t even take the plastic out of the krab roll, they fried it with it still in plastic and bit a chunk off to figure it out .

Karen Reed

The cook had all of the food on the grill at the same time. Red raw meat, raw chicken and raw seafood all touching next to the noodles and vegetables. I have never been to a hibachi grill that they didn’t cook the rice first, then the noodles, vegetables and then the meat with cleaning the grill each time. He never cleaned the grill and we are done and it’s still not cleaned. We all will always take our leftovers home but NONE of us are because we are all afraid of getting sick. We will NEVER be back here…we go to Kobe’s a lot but will not come back to this one.

Really poor. No longer cook on the table. Food cold when served from the kitchen not the table. One in our party very allergic to mushrooms and server told multiple times no mushrooms. Lips and tongue of diner started tingling and mushrooms found in the vegetable. Never told of the change in prep of the food. Large party that will not be. Back. 2 in the party never received meal. Adjustment taken but birthday ruined for 16 yo who had expected the usual

Made a reservation on 12/31/25 for 18 to celebrate my husband’s 75th birthday on 1/4/26. Reservation was taken by employee and noted. We were surprised to find the restaurant was closed. Would have been nice to have been told that. Instead we had to call everyone to cancel. Birthday was ruined.
