4 of us went for dinner and we were lucky to get Bruce Lee Roy for our chef. By far he has been the most engaging and entertaining chef the I have ever had at any teppanyaki style restaurant that I have ever been to. Not to mention that he was a great chef. Our server was wonderful and the food was great. We all had a wonderful time and will be back soon.
My wife and I have passed this restaurant many times so we decided to stop in and wow, we were not disappointed as soon as we entered. We knew we were in the right place the atmosphere the food and the service was exceptional. I highly recommend this place it’s a little pricey, but the portions oh my God they’re phenomenal. service was great our server Tuan was outstanding. We had a lot of conversations with him. He told us he was from Vietnam and we had a lot in common. He was just an exceptional waiter. He needs a big shout out.
Great experience! Went for my grandmothers birthday and it was my first time since they relocated to near Chilis. The service was amazing! The chef Lam was really good and put on a really good show that my nephews loved. Our waiter Loo E. was also really great and very attentive! It was a really great family dinner. The manager came over after our dinner and made sure we had a great dinner and that my nana had a great time.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Kobe Steak House! The food was nothing short of delicious — every bite was a delight. A special shoutout to Chef Boyar Dee, whose skills and passion truly shined through. Our server, Jorden, was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcomed throughout the evening. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great cuisine and excellent service.
