Kobe Japanese Steak House - Columbia

Very good food. I love how they give you noodles and rice at no extra charge. The chef was very generous with Yum Yum sauce which was great. The wait time for a chef was almost 45 minutes which was a little long for lunch time and there were no other grills goingZ the food had a good taste and I would recommend anyone to try this place out.

Terrible service, tough meat and very expensive. We sat on the table side (not the grill) and ordered hibachi. Our waiter did not come by other than to take our orders and drop off our first drinks. We had to ask the hostess for drinks, a box and to cash us. Waiter was too busy talking at the bar through the meal. The restaurant itself looks pretty neat, but it was hard to enjoy with no air conditioning running on a 90 degree day. Entire place just smelled likesweat. Portions were generously sized, but everything was relatively bland and the chicken and steak (ordered medium rare) were incredibly tough and overcooked. Vegetables were probably the only good thing in the meal. Not worth theprice.

Service was fast before 5:00 PM. Waitress was attentive but didn't hover. Chef was entertaining. Food was copious and delicious. Steak was soft, calamari and shrimp perfectly cooked. They gave my kid a piece of cheesecake for his birthday. Pricey, but you will be taking food home. Fun atmosphere if you're looking for more than just dinner.

I love this place! You have the choice when you go in to sit at the grill or sit at a table.

Decent but didn't get shrimp that was supposed to come with our meal which was disappointing.
