First time ever going to anything like this and I was in AAAHHH the whole time. I couldn’t help but watch other people as their dinner turned into a show! The music was great definitely got the surprise jolt Everytime it was a birthday guest. Food was amazing! I loved the veggies and the fried rice the best! Definitely can’t wait to go back!
I had an amazing experience during my visit! Our waitress, May, was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always had a smile on her face. She made sure everything was perfect and checked in at just the right times. The food was incredible, thanks to Chef Sumo! Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell he puts real care and skill into his cooking. Big thanks to May and Sumo for making the visit special. I’ll definitely be coming back soon
I loved this place so much. It was my first time ever coming here, for my 20th birthday at that. Our waiter (Molly) was super delightful and very helpful and just made my experience worth while! And the guy who cooked our food (Bao) was also very amazing! So sweet, and he even performed several gestures/ acts while making our food in celebration of my birthday. Very satisfied and pleased

He’s awesome very chill and very graceful, and even helped pack up our food at the end of the Come check this place out if you wanna have a good time and have delicious food and be happy!
We had such an amazing experience at Kobe’s in St. Pete! From the moment we walked in, the energy was great and the staff made us feel right at home. Our 2-year-old son had the best time — he was smiling, laughing, and completely fascinated by the hibachi show. A huge shoutout and thank you to Chef Tee, who truly made the night unforgettable! He was not only entertaining but also incredibly kind and engaging with our little one. The food was absolutely perfect — the steak was tender, the chicken was juicy, and the fried rice was out of this world. You could tell Chef Tee takes pride in what he does. It’s rare to find a place where both adults and kids have an equally great time, but Kobe’s nailed it. We’ll definitely be coming back soon — thank you again, Chef Tee, for making our night so special!
