West 192 - Hibachi Kissimmee

We came here based on the reviews. The rating was excellent, and Google Maps listed the average price per person as $30–50. Well… in reality, it turned out to be way more than that 😅 This place is definitely for fans of Asian cuisine. There are cool show elements, shared tables (around 10 people), and regular private ones. The difference is: at the regular tables (which my friends and I chose), the food is cooked in the kitchen. But at the shared tables, they cook everything right in front of you — you can watch the whole process and maybe even throw something into the pot yourself (kidding… or maybe not 😄). Honestly, that part looked pretty fun. We ordered something — don’t even ask me the exact name — it was about $49, something with “three” in the title. Maybe because earlier that day (about 5 hours before) we had some amazing steaks from a food truck, the taste didn’t blow me away. But again, this is food for people who love Asian flavors. I’m just not a fan, to be honest. For me, the food was a 3/5. The meat took more chewing than I’d like, and flavor-wise, I personally prefer a fattier, sizzling style — that’s my thing. Here it’s different, more of an acquired taste. I don’t want to sound harsh — this place is great if you’re into Asian cuisine. But if you’re not, better skip it, because the prices are definitely above average. I ended up paying $75, plus left an extra $20 tip from the heart. Normally I spend $30–$40 and eat very well and tastier. Big respect to our waitress — a lovely older lady who did a fantastic job. So warm, so polite — she definitely earned an extra star 🌟 The hostess was also very sweet and smiley. Service here is top-notch, no doubt about it. They greet you, take care of you till the end, and everyone — waiters, chefs — is friendly and smiling. In the end, what you pay for here isn’t so much the taste (again, I’m not into this cuisine), but the service and experience. And that’s worth it. I’m giving this place a 5⭐️ purely for the outstanding service and our sweet “grandma” waitress ❤️

Wonderful service as usual from Kobe. This location provides diners with fresh hot towels to clean your hands. I was a tad disappointed though because the Kobe in my hometown offers ginger sauce and yummy sauce for dipping. This location only offered yummy sauce and it tasted different than the other Kobe’s I’ve been too. It tasted more strongly like ketchup.

Came to this spot for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Surprisingly it was my first time in a restaurant like this so I wasn’t 100% sure if it was something that I was going to enjoy. Is a very overstimulating restaurant. There is a lot going on at all times. I do have to say that I did enjoy my time there, but after my visit, I just needed a break of peace and quiet. The server was super cool and it did meet us. Enjoy our time. The food was actually very good which I wasn’t sure as well if I was gonna like it. Overall, it was a great experience. Perfect to celebrate somebody special day. I’m not sure if this is something I would do for everyday dining.. Great ambience for families or friends hanging out.

We had a great experience at Kobe’. From the moment we walked in, the staff (Houston) was welcoming and attentive. Our waiter, Antonio, and our cook, Danny, were both fantastic. They handled our table—which included three separate parties—with patience and professionalism. Both had great personalities that added to the fun atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend!

Our experience at Kobe on Highway 192 was excellent. Our server, Liz, and our hibachi chef, Rooster, were both very attentive. The food was fresh and delicious, and was not over cooked, as can often be the case with hibachi. I also really enjoyed the look and ambiance of the restaurant. It reminded me of a festive restaurant in the Dotonbori area of Osaka.
