Kobe can be hard to find -- it's location in the plaza is not that great. We originally took the trip out there to go to Joli Kobe, but they've changed their menu to a lunch-only offering. Thus, we walked around the plaza and decided to eat at Kobe Steaks instead. It's pretty similar to Benihana, but if I recall correctly, it's a little less pricey. I thought the food and service were well worth what we paid. Hubby ordered the salmon and scallops dinner; I ordered the filet mignon dinner. Mine was mediocre, but my husband's salmon was excellent. Wasn't seasoned too heavily, was swimming in lemon butter (I'm not a dieter, so I could care less), but that man cooked a decent piece of salmon so properly.......all kudos go to him. Hubby said the scallops were underseasoned, and I agree, but next trip I'd ask the chef to cook the scallops in lemon butter, too. The rest of the meal was good, no complaints. I'd say the restaurant decor is outdated, especially around the entrance and bar areas, and the bathrooms don't look great at all, but that's not exactly why I go out to eat anyway.
Pros: Dinners are a decent value, cheaper and quieter than Benihana
Cons: Decor needs a definite upgrade, location is out-of-the-way
