    I've been a Kobe customer for over 20 years. But something has changed. Last night was the worst experience I have ever had. Prices are up almost 30-40% which would be ok, but for the first time, the chef cracks one egg then pours out eggs from a container. Not fresh eggs, from a container they must buy in the back. When did cracking 4-5 eggs change the cost of the meal. Then they want to use an excessive amount of garlic on everything. Never used to be about that. Unfortunately I'm probably done with Kobe. They continue to go up, are cutting costs on real eggs. They had no drink napkins. This is a large restaurant. I would take clients and numerous people, dine here 2-3 times a month. Very sad. Until management wakes up and remembers why Kobe was a great place, they have lost me.

    I understand the holidays are busy but the Brandon location way over booked themselves which reflected on service, cleanliness, and customer satisfaction. Had to tell the manager that the restroom need attention. Total visit time was 3 hours which is way to long with kids.

    Service was not great..our cook came over to our table and the stovetop grill wasn’t working so we had to wait before being able to get our food cooked. Then we were told that a manager would be out and the manager never did we were told that 3 times. Then we finally got our food out the rest around was closing and then we packed up our food and the waitress came back to give us our checks to pay still no manager came to give a discount or do anything for the wait we had to wait to even eat. Then after we paid them then finally the waitress got us a manger but after they took our money then he comes out acting shock that we were told a manager would come and never did. All he did was give a $25 credit to my account but I feel like everyone should have had a percentage off their check we waited for a hour before we could eat the time there was 8-11pm

    We arrived for a 1:30 pm lunch reservation. It took five minutes for the host to appear but we had to wait an additional twenty five minutes to be seated. Once we were seated, we were told that there were only two chefs working and although we were served soup and salads, we had to wait an additional 45 minutes before our chef finished with the table where he was assigned. This was not the chef's fault but the restaurant should have had more chefs on duty or have told us about the long wait.
