   The food was really good. My main complaint is that instead of noodles we want to double rice and only got the single amount even though he said given us the food double rice correct. We go there for two things the fillet and the rice with the Yum Yum sauce. The fillet was really good just really bummed about the small portion of rice when we asked for double and no noodles.

   I’m it’s too expensive to dine here as a family of 5. It cost $180 for 2 kids meals and 3 adult meals. We won’t be able to come as a family anymore

   Disappointed in this visit. Reservations at 12 when first takes are sat. There were 3 parties that made up 10 people that arrived first. Instead of seating us, there sat 2 other parties totaling 10 that arrived after us first. For some reason their server was so attentive that they had their salads and we were still waiting on drinks and had not even given our order. Reservations were at 12 and our orders were not taken until 12:34. By that time, the other table was already enjoying their rice and veggies. We eat at kobe quite often for Sunday lunch and this slowness for 12pm reservations seems to be becoming more frequent. I expect a long lunch because of it being hibachi but it should not be so slow to start.

   Our cook Anubis was Amazing!!! The food was so good and his service was impeccable. Our server "Sauce" was also great. His dad jokes kept the table laughing. They both deserve a raise plus tip! I'll definitely be back (And I'll be requesting Anubis as my cook).
