Everyone’s favorite Japanese steakhouse and hibachi experience is at its best at the Alafaya location. The packed dining room runs like a well oiled machine producing delicious aromas, the sounds of ringing steel, and tall flames. While the fiery show is on display, an army of service staff members carefully tend to each patron. Enjoy classic combos like the Kobe Trio or the Land & Sea while creating some lifelong memories around the hot teppanyaki grill.
Toshio was absolutely fantastic throughout our visit. I had a wonderful time—his sense of humor, especially the classic dad jokes, added a fun and lighthearted touch to the evening. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, and everyone genuinely seemed to enjoy themselves. By the end of dinner, we were all engaged in great conversation and even had the pleasure of celebrating a birthday together. It was a truly memorable experience, and I’m already looking forward to coming back!
I recently dined at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse and had an amazing experience! The hibachi chef’s performance was entertaining and impressive, and the food was incredible. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the sushi was fresh and delicious. Our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with a great vibe. Overall, I’d highly recommend Kobe Japanese Steakhouse to anyone looking for a great Japanese dining experience.
The steakhouse provided me with one of the best steak experiences I’ve ever had. We had Chef Bao Bao as our cook and he was very funny and interactive with us. I recommend the Land and Sea for a variety of beef and shrimp. The sirloin I had with the fish was so tender and flavorful, best steak I’ve had for sure. The Scorpion for 2 was pretty good and coconut breeze amazing if you want a tropical and refreshing taste. We didn’t need to wait that long but it was very packed when we went. I spent around ~$80 for all my items.
Really good experience. Wouldn’t say great however. Our chef was on the boring side, we found ourselves eavesdropping on chef at next table because he had a personality. Food was excellent, filet was very tender (rare) and scallops good as well. Only thing I would’ve changed would be just sear scallops without soy sauce, it kind of overwhelmed the flavor. But overall we had a good time, great food and enjoyed it a lot.
