We randomly looked up a Kobe beef restaurant for dinner and we made a reservation on Tabelog website, turned out the restaurant was quite empty when we arrived, so don’t waste money making a reservation. I have been to other Kobe beef restaurants before and had amazing experiences, but this time was really disappointing. The Kobe beef itself was still good quality, but the whole point of teppanyaki is the cooking, and that’s where it fell short. Instead of an experienced chef, they had a really young and inexperienced chef at the grill. The meat wasn’t cooked properly, the timing felt rushed, she cut the meat in different sizes trying to make every person receive an equal amount of beef, and the usual finesse and fun you expect from teppanyaki just weren’t there. At first I thought it was only us who had a young chef, but looking around the restaurant, all chefs were young and inexperienced. For a place that charges a premium price for Kobe beef teppanyaki, I expected way more. It’s not just about the ingredients – it’s about the skill and experience of the chef. For this reason, I don’t recommend this restaurant.
