Biggest issue with Kobe is that it is entirely unpredictable when you can get a take out order- so as of spring 2022 absolutely do not plan on being excited for take out sushi. You could call and they will tell you they are prioritizing people who are coming to eat in the restaurant. And they change their willingness to serve take out customers at a whim. This has happened to us three times now. As a local it’s been frustrating- eat there for years, support them through the pandemic and then little flexibility now.
We had a group of 11 for my daughters birthday and no restaurants would seat us without splitting our group. I called Kobe and they were happy to help. They set us up a patio table with great heaters. They were a little short staffed but you'd never know. Staff was attentive and courteous. The meal was over the top! Fresh and articulately prepared. We couldn't have been happier!
We travel from the Bay Area for the surf and turf roll!! It’s amazing. The cocktails are also a highlight every time that we go. Wait staff is so friendly and wonderful. This place is absolutely amazing!
Awesome place to eat, there is a wait but thats only for the main dish appetizers come fast, it is a place to sit down and have a nice evening in a good atmosphere, a few trump supporters show up now and again which is annoying to overhear, but just request a change of tables if that’s the case
My family recently took a road trip to California from Portland. We stopped in Ashland both ways to stay the night. On the trip over we discovered Kobe. We were going to try to take out and go back to our room. However, the space and the received reception led us to dine on premise. We had a splendid time. The service was warm yet efficient and the food was exceptional. We all expressed a desire to be able to eat more. We decided to dine there again on our way back. The experience was the same if not warmer due to a vague familiarity from the last visit. The same server took care of us and remembered this traveler's dietary restriction. We had a wonderful time and will be back.
Always fresh and great tasting! Friendly staff.
First time having sushi and it was ok. Not a big raw fish fan but makes for good pics and a new experience. Very good beef
Soooo good and such great customer service!
Kobe remains a fine purveyor of raw fish, and has excellent other food, such as the tremendous short ribs (the broth is amazing). But one caution: The tempura is, frankly, not as good as I can do at home. It was thick batter, more like pancake batter than true tempura covering, which should be delicate and crispy. I cannot explain this ghastly lapse in an otherwise fine experience so have at it with the rest of the menu, but avoid the tempura!
Our latest favorite in Ashland. And it has been for awhile. Fresh, clean, elegant...everything and everyone just right. Still finding new treats to try on the menu after half a dozen visits.
