Kobe Steaks

Japanese Steakhouse offers entertaining dining experience

  • Hibachi Meals
  • Cocktail Lounge
  • Private Parties and Groups

Owner Katshiko "Vic" Watanbe proudly opened Kobe Steaks in a small Atlanta 17th Street location, introducing many Atlantans to hibachi-style cooking. In 1977 an opportunity to open a larger location in Nashville, Tenn. arose and, keen to expand, Vic successfully moved Kobe Steaks to Nashville.

To ensure an overall Japanese dining experience, the restaurant's décor was carefully designed by one of Japan's leading architects. At Kobe Steaks you'll experience creative hibachi cooking in a fun-filled atmosphere. Enjoy the knife-wielding skill and showmanship of specially trained chefs as they prepare the freshest meals before your eyes on hibachi grills. Specialties include carefully chosen steak, seafood, chicken, and vegetables, and don't miss the fabulous flaming onion volcano.

Editorial Review for Kobe Steaks – by Jane Garvery

In Short
Small rooms separated by decorative screens offer group seating and a friendly atmosphere. Prepare to doff your shoes if you're sitting in one of the traditional spaces with low, recessed tables--although standard western table seating is also available. Despite the restaurant's misnomer (the beef is American), steak is especially good, and seafood is fresh and properly cooked. For dessert, chocolate mousse is totally un-Japanese, but still rich and yummy.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/18/2008 Posted by foodcriticTN

The food is great!! Try the Chicken and Shrimp in a white wine sauce!!! I grew up in Nashville, i've been to there a lot of times since i was little. Their soup and salad are authentic even their entres as well! I've tried many others around in Tennessee werent as authentic as Kobe's. Fun to watch! Theres a bar and low profile couches. Their cocktail drinks are great, but go easy on them!! They are easily addicted! Parking isnt a problem!! Best for romantic dates and even kids birthday! They sing birthdays in japanense! Fridays and Saturdays evenings from 5-7pm is packed! They open at 5pm. make reservations is highly recommended if you prefer to go on Friday or Saturday. Weekdays isnt problem to go!

THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO SPEND THE EVENING, THEY HAVE COUCHES AND A BAR RIGHT UP FRONT AS YOU WAIT TO BE SEATED. WE HAD NO RES. BUT THEY WORKED US IN FAIRLY QUICK. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING, ALTHOUGH CERTAIN PEOPLE MAY NEED MORE IF THEY ARE VERY HUNGRY. I SEE NO PROBLEM TAKING THE KIDS OR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. WE HAD A LARGE GROUP AND THEY TREATED US GREAT. WE ALL WILL DEF. RETURN SOON.

Pros: AMBIENCE, WAITING AREA ....COUCHES AND A BAR

Cons: PORTION SIZE OF MEAL
