It was a great experience with Hibachi. The wait time was about 10 mins but the whole dining experience was about an hour. The food was tasty and the chef was fun!

I had guests in from out of town and planned to show them a good time at a local hibachi grill. I greatly wished I had instead taken them to Oishi in Chesterfield or Kyoto's in St. Charles because we made reservations for 730 PM, arrived 10 minutes prior to our time and sat for OVER AN HOUR before they seated us. I appreciate that the food is good and that is why people wait but please update your reservation practices because clearly you are doing something wrong. Maybe shadow at some other local hibachi places that dont have that issue yet stay full with reservations. If your average chef or average customer take x amount of time, you need to plan for that, especially on busy weekend evenings. My elderly relatives should not have to wait until nearly 9PM to eat dinner because of the restaurant's lack of planning and ability to accommodate their own reservations! Horrible experience. Also, if I had been told at the beginning that it would have been that long, I woukd have walked. Instead I was lied to repeatedly, "25 more minutes" "20 more minutes" and so on. Keep in mind, I watched several groups come after us and get seated before us, so this was 100% the restaurant's doing.

It was such a fun and great experience. The food was excellent, and the chef was amazing! The only reason I gave it one less star is that we felt a bit rushed. Shortly after the chef left, we were brought to-go boxes. Aside from that, it was a great evening overall. I would recommend making a reservation and making sure everyone in your party is present so you can be seated promptly.

I enjoyed my recent visit to Kobe. The atmosphere is nice and upscale; the service was friendly & very accommodating; and the food was good. It is a good time to sit with people you enjoy. Having the food cooked in front of us was great entertainment!

This is a great place to go for a large group. The food is prepared right in front of you! The cooks are very entertaining! The table space is a bit crowded and the food is mediocre at best. But it's a great place to go if you have a large number of people in your party. The atmosphere is loud and chaotic with several cooks preparing food in the same area! The cooks can only seat 10 so if your party is larger, the group will be divided. Parking was difficult to locate. Make sure you park in garage on the second level.
