Kobe Japanese Steakhouse

The Write-Up

The full story

Kobe turns dinner into theater on International Drive, where teppanyaki chefs work communal grill tables with onion volcanoes, flying shrimp, and tricks guests say they had not seen before. The hibachi sirloin and seafood trio come in enormous portions, and the sushi side holds its own with the Krabby Shrimp roll and soup dumplings. It is lively, generous, and built for birthdays and tables that want a show with their meal.
