Kobe Japanese Steakhouse

As a treat for my sister’s 40^th birthday, I wanted something special and that we never tried.
I read some of the bad reviews here (and on tripadvisor), but still chose here because they have free parking and a Sunday to Thursday menu which is about $ 10 less per person. (it helps a lot when paying for 5 people). I would have preferred Toyo downtown, but it would have cost way too much.
We arrived a bit too early when they opened and were the only ones there, the service took a while to get going. Once we got apps and drinks, things improved
The tempura and chicken wings were delicious, the spring rolls were good, but only 2 small rolls for $ 5.
Once we finished, we met our cook who was very polite and cordial but not as flashy as some of the cooks I saw on youtube.
Yes it’s cheesy and tacky and it feels like the 70’s inside. Real Japanese people probably don’t eat like this, but we had fun, which is what matters. The food was pretty tasty and we were all full when we left.
You get soup, salad, the Teppanyaki of your choice with tea and dessert, and a nice little show for about $ 20.
They also gave us a couple of bamboo calendars. The service is pretty good, but they wait for a table to be full before sending a chef, so you might be dining with strangers.
but it’s the same at other Japanese steakhouses.
This place is a bit out of the way, but there is free parking and it’s about a block from the Metro Langelier Subway Station.

This restaurant is completely mismanaged. The staff is mostly uncaring and unassuming. The manager is definitely not doing his job. The customer is just a sausage link to be served, collected and replaced by another. Although the food was good, the chef was an obnoxious impolite fellow. He did not put any kind of show together as promised on their website. If you want japanese steakhouse, dont go there choose another establishment.

It was good very funny the cook would have been better to serve all the food together and not part by part ! Meaning he cooks the shrimps and gives it cooks chicken gives it cooks rice and gives it ! Man im hungry i wanna eat loool
