   Best Kobe in Orlando. I don’t care much for the meat, but the rest of the food is excellent, service is even better.

   It had been some time since we visited Kobe and this was a very nice return experience. Our chef, Bao Bao, was engaging, entertaining and attentive to all the parties at the table. Everything tasted terrific, and he put on a great show. But he was a little over the top with some of the banter and jokes - at least for my youngest (age 6). Perhaps the host/seating coordinator could work a little better on seating “similar” parties together to help with this - we’re a family of 4 with 2 young kids, seated with 2 couples who were drinking and using more adult language. It would have been better to sit us with another family group. But overall, excellent meal.

   The service was good, but I was very disappointed with the portion size. We come here often and have not had this issue before. our plates were full of rice and noodles but barely any veggies and meat. We were celebrating a baby shower so I didn’t want to make a fuss in front of my guests but I don’t believe we received the value for what we paid for. We all order meals very meat and fish heavy and it was as if we ordered a carb heavy option only. Can someone please call me because I was not satisfied with what we received considering what i paid for. Thank you, my cell: 407-765-6538

   If you’re looking to eat at a “factory” then this is it! We were rushed through everything including ordering drinks which my husbands old fashion came to the table 15 minutes after we ordered. The food was “meh” at best. I will never go back there.

   We went for my son‘s college graduation. We had a party of eight. We took up most of the table and had two additional visitors to the restaurant on the end. We brought in homemade cake and store-bought cupcakes and they accommodated us by putting these in the refrigerator and then bringing them out after our meal was done. Service was wonderful and they did not rush us. Would come back again for a big celebration.

    Myself, my husband, daughter and son dined at Kobe in celebration of my son’s graduation from UCF. Kobe is his favorite and he is always a fan. My husband and I are vegan and thought it would be difficult to find anything we could eat considering the hibachi style of food preparation. Our server was great and was very knowledgeable about what would fit into our diet. The chef cooked our meals prior to any animal products being cooked on the grill, which was an absolute shock. We never would have requested this and didn’t even call ahead to see if there were vegan options because we knew it didn’t matter. It was what our son wanted. We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations made for us. Additionally they provided a cupcake, played the drums and sang for my son and a fellow diner for their graduation! We had a great time!
