Kobe Japanese Steak House - Katy

New owners Clean and fresh seafood. This place was completely new, it is bright and clean the food was great, the sushi was 5 stars and the type that made the sushi was great, he knows what he does and knows how to do things not on the menu. The new owners are very welcoming. I recommend everyone who didn't try it, and everyone who went earlier, you'll be glad you did it.

My husband I am in this restorer since we started in October 2007 (my man longer... even before it was called Koby). Now before you jump to quick judgment about this place, it is a small family business operated place. If you like high-end fantasy, go somewhere else. If you are looking for a friendly warm environment with great food, this is the place for you. The staff is wonderful and really trying to get to know you. The fried rice is amazing that we always get additional orders. Not to mention the salad dressing is so different and wonderful. My man I love, and our daughter even starts loving her. We would highly recommend this restorer.

Good for a quick bite of sushi. I finally tried. I get my nails at Ivy Nails, which is right next door in the same middle of the strip. I wanted a quick lunch before I did my other things. I have the Tiger Eye Roll and the Spider Roll, and both were good. The Tiger Eye seemed like the rice ratio was a little (as in too much rice), but not a big thing. My waitress was really friendly and everything was fast. Like other spectators, I was there when the place was dead. Saturday to noon... but you must imagine it's not a great location for a business! It is in an older strip center that does not start much traffic with... the most popular place is probably Ivy Nails. The restaurant is tapped back there, and there's nothing your eye catches over the building. Sometimes the lack of customers has nothing to do with food and service. Admittedly, it wasn't the best sushi I ever had... but it was good. Place was clean, and it seemed like the couple sitting in the other half of the restaurant enjoys their Hibachi presentation. And my roles were pretty cheap! Beautiful decor and ambience. I'd go back to my mani/pedi!

I thought it was really great!. If you're looking for Benihana's opulence, you won't find it here. What you find is good food. My wife and I had a groupon for the special dinner. Remember the reviews, we carefully chose the filet(with an additional fee-I think. The salad was walking, but we didn't come for the salad. The cook made his culinary sword dance, and we were served the fillet. It was pretty good. We had the vegetables, well. The cook put two shrimps on each plate, and I carefully sample it during thinking on the bad reviews. Perfect shrimp! My questions are: Are the other reviewers too selective? Were they there in a bad night? Are reviewing the same restaurant I am. We want to go back, Groupon or not.

Hibache Review. Overall a positive experience at Koby. We had a Groupon, which was 2 hibache dinners for $24. My girlfriend and I each got the Filet. We started with the standard hibache soup and salad. Both were excellent! The salad dressing wasn't ginger like all other HIbache places. It kind of reminded me somewhat of ranch, but it was very unique. The soup came out piping hot, and was fantastic... great flavor. The Chef was great. Standard hibache show, nothing really fancy if you're used to going to hibache restaurants. The first thing onto the plate was the fried rice. The rice was very good, but I've had better. Next was our filets, and they were good, but not fantastic. There was a little bit of fat, and the steak was a tiny bit chewy. That may sound picky, but every other place that I have gotten a filet, it basically melted in your mouth. Even though the filet wasn't the best, the flavor was fantastic. Next were the appetizer shrimp, which were quite frankly awful. Whatever you do, don't get the shrimp as your main course. They were very fishy tasting, and extremely chewy. Lastly was the vegetables, which were very good. Seasoned just right, and very fresh. Would I come here again? No, not unless I had a groupon. Without it, the total, with tip at 18%, would have been $60 for two people. Was the food good? Yes, for the most part, I can't deny that.
