Kobe. It’s called Kobe from the inspiration of the city, and the exquisite quality the city exhibits through its tradition in food. We all know that “Kobe Beef” is some magical piece of steak that we hold on a pedestal as the best tasting beef on the planet; it’s a culinary triumph at the genetic level. Well, at Kobe Japan Sushi and Steakhouse Bar, we not only serve our customers the best Kobe-style beef around, we present it in a style known as “Teppanyaki”—a cook-show, if you will, and trust me, you will be pleased. The master chefs here will give you a cooking show like you’ve never experienced. Fresh Scallops and Jumbo Shrimp, Maine Lobster and Kobe Filet Mignon will be grilled and playfully cooked right in front of you.
Informal Japanese-style steakhouse & sushi bar, featuring flaming hibachi grills & a full bar. Based on 540 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.3 stars. Price $$

I used to like this place, but the last two times have been terrible. Over 1/3rd of the restaurant has dirty dishes on the tables. Tonight, only one waitress, I felt sorry for her. Their was a family that let their kids scream , yell, and run around the whole restaurant wrecklessly. Management wouldn’t say a word. The kid were so loud the parents but them a few tables away so they wouldn’t bother them. One 3 year old was on the table and fell off. Management should have handled this.

They did such a good job. Food was great and it was fun. It was a little quite in there, so we had a whole grill top to ourselves! We had such much food we ate it for 3 meals.

Funny experience, Excitement level depends on your chef and interaction with your party. Everything seemed very fresh as you can see it being prepared in front of you. You can also sit at a normal dining table and order what’s on the menu. Full bar was available, The constructive crisism… We are in Livermore!!! and there should be an abundance of wine. I struck out 3 times with 2 reds and one Chardonnay. Highly recommend ordering a cocktail or shots. Everyone we interacted with was very professional and courteous.

They have good happy hour deals. Tried their normal and speciality rolls. Both were nice. I was expecting small portions but was surprised to chunky rolls of sushi being served. Ordered oysters as well but they weren’t up to the mark. Their staff is very warm and friendly. We informed the staff Jimmy Chen about the taste of oysters and he quickly replaced it and apologized several times. Overall a good place.

We were greeted when we walked in and seated right away. Our server was so very nice and helpful. The sushi was amazing, and the saki was so good. Great evening! If you like sushi, go to Kobe.

Went for my son’s graduation, great food and atmosphere. They are also cater to those that have celiac (gluten allergy), being very careful about how the dishes were prepared to reduce the possibility of any contamination. The great food comes at a cost…. Expect $50 per person for meal only (after taxes and mandatory service fee.)

we just went there on Sunday evening. Ordered two appertizers plus one signature roll, one sashimi chirashi Dexlue. Starters was served pretty quick, but quality is really mediocre. Vegi Tempura was not crunchy. We then had to wait for another 25 minutes before sashimi and sushi roll. 14 piece sashimi was priced at $33 and the fish are so thin and they do not taste fresh. Service was also poor. I would not recommend this place

Delicious food! I was in town visiting family and we all went out to eat here and it was great! My mom was a little hesitant that she wouldn’t find something she liked, but they had so many options and everyone’s food was delicious. Highly recommend!!!

Dropped by to have dinner. There were only three other groups besides our table, but our waiter happened to disappear. A waitress took over after waiting for 20 minutes to get our order placed. When I got my order, it was wrong and had to be taken back to get fixed. After 20 more minutes, finally got the correct order but my table was already done eating. I was too upset to finish and took it to go. Very disappointed in the lack of personal and professional service. It is a nicely located place that looks great to eat. Unfortunately this restaurant’s look is deceiving. Try any OTHER restaurant on main street. I will not be coming here again. Their sushi was good, but everything else was mediocre. So if you decide to come here just order sushi and drinks to not be disappointed like I was.

Treated to a Mother’s Day dinner here. We enjoyed our chef, who was friendly and personable, the food, and the service. We plan to return for my birthday, too, and we will be traveling from Sonoma County!
