Kobé Japanese Steakhouse - Kirkman

"Had such a fun experience at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse! From the moment we sat down, the energy was great, and the service really stood out. Our chef, Panda, absolutely made the night—super entertaining, engaging, and clearly talented. The cooking show was just as good as the food itself. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, but what really made it memorable was the vibe Panda created at the table. Lots of laughs, great interaction, and an overall experience that felt special—not just another dinner out. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to! 🍣🔥"

"This location was the only one in Orlando who answers their phone! I appreciate their patience when we ordered a table reservation for 9 people and we showed up with 12 for my brother's birthday dinner celebration 🍾 The host ladies were friendly and informative and let us know that everyone in our group has to show up first before seating us. Once everyone found parking (paid is in front, free is in the back or by the KPot area) we were quickly sat. Food is great, Chef Torsta and Host Kisha were patient and welcoming. Manager Tony is bubbly and fun. He sung happy birthday to different tables, including ours. THANK YOU!"

"Very nice meal. My wife and I were visiting in the area, and we decided with hibachi. The service was great, and our waiter/hibachi chef were both fantastic. They have a happy hour special if you go, with great deals. Only Monday-Friday. I got the krab rangoon and it was pretty tasty. My wife got the filet, which was tender, seasoned well, and had phenomenal flavor. To complement it, noodles, vegetables, salad, soup, and fried rice was served. All was delicious and made the meal very flavorful. For myself, I got the steak and shrimp. Both were delicious. As for the restaurant, very beautiful location, and not too far from our hotel. Only mishap I would comment on is the hostess area. It took a little bit of a long wait to get us seated, but nonetheless did not impact anything else. Definitely will return."
