Kobe Japanese Steak House

First lets set some standards.  I go to Kobe for the Teppanyaki.
If I am going out for Sushi, or something else, I wouldn't come to Kobe.  There are much better Sushi and "other" restaurants out there.

But the Teppanyaki is Excellent.   (Let me take a moment - the stove/cooking method is NOT a hibachi.)

The ingredients were VERY fresh, the "Combination Dinners" are actually a pretty good value though not 'cheap'.   The Sauces that come served with all parts of the meal were very tasty and the personalities involved in the Production and service were pleasant and entertaining.

The "Signature Drinks" are STRONG.  The Plum wine served with the Chef's Dinner was excellent and a great compliment to the food.

Come here for a 'show'.  For entertainment, sitting with a group of friends etc.

And try the Calamari.  Long pieces in a very LIGHT batter.  Totally not a preparation I've seen before.

Superior by far to the 'other' Chain style Teppanyaki Restaurant many are used to, this location does what I came here for very well.

Average sushi, terrible service. Didn't try the hibachi, but it looked like standard fare. Prices are average for a sushi place, drink selection was pedestrian and overpriced. First and last visit to this joint.

WARNING: Stay away from this place. While on business tried this place with two co workers. They ordered teriyaki type stuff and I got a sushi&roll combo. The indifferent waitress brought their food and 25 minutes later I was still waiting for mine. When we complained it fell on deaf ears with not even an we're sorry. On top of that the food was well below par. I finally told them to put it in a to go box and they didn't discount the bill one cent. Thank goodness our company was paying for this fiasco. If you go to this place don't say I didn't warn you.
