Kobe' Japanese Steak House

The best japanese steakhouse I've ever been to.

OH GOODNESS! I googled for days trying to find the best hibachi grill for my Asian boyfriend (picky about good food) and it kept popping up Kobes in Independence. I just kept saying, NO! I want to be in downtown KC or crossroads. But all the reviews and suggestions pointed here. I live down the street so I just wanted to go somewhere different. Lo-and-behold THIS PLACE WAS EPIC! The environment is absolutely way better branded and decorated than anywhere else in kc. All the other hibachis looked so uninviting. This place had all sorts of good vibes. From the entry bar where you can sit for drinks while you wait, to the quieter sitting room and bar to its left, to the open seating area like a whole dining room in itself for those guests waiting also, and then of course, the hibachi dinner areas where everyone is sitting around a cozy table in comfy chairs or wall bench seating. The servers were all incredible. There was such a huge team we interacted with: the host upon arrival, the first bartender super kind and helped make great suggestions, the other host who took us to our seat, the women who brought everything to our tables and took orders, the chef full of fun energy! Its a whole operation but doesnt feel chaotic at all. Totally family friendly too! Id bring anyone here. The food was excellent, the environment and decor was enjoyable, and everyone was having such a good time. It is a little pricey however. Probably a one time experience for a family bc that can get expensive. But worth it. Also, cocktails were only $8! Whaaaat? And so delicious. Id go back just for that weekly. And apparently people do. We saw friends here and they are literally regulars. Love this place! A gem! And who wouldve thought the best in Kansas City metro would be here in Indep? Makes me feel so proud. 10 stars all around! (And the boyfriend was satisfied too!) Parking: Big parking lot all around the building! Easy as that. Kid-friendliness: Id bring my kids here for sure. Its a whole experience. Theyd be entertained all night! Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible. Might be hard to maneuver through the front busy lobby as its not very large. That might feel bothersome. But great accommodations into the dining area.
