Kobe Plaisir

The quality and taste of the beef were quite average, and the side dishes in the set meal were unimpressive. For this price, the overall quality really doesn’t live up to expectations.Don’t recommend.

Top quality Kobe Beef. Excellent taste n Tapanyaki chef was very skillful. The meat n lobster was cooked to perfection. Sake choices were good with a tasting paddle. Highly recommended if you want top quality meat. Pricey but well worth the calories. Dessert was served in a private lounge to relax in arm chair.

Chose round and sirloin for 2 persons to share. Beef turned out to be tender and fried rice was good. Worth the quality and experience of kobe beef

the quality is good but it's overpriced. i won't recommend if you are here just for kobe beef.. i'm sure there are many alternatives. (ignore me if money is not a concern for you) it's expensive with small beef portions but many other dishes (they taste in general ok but i feel overpriced) we ordered set meal and ended up to pay 20000 yen per person for 100g fillet. also there's a 10% service charge that i didn't expect in japan.

We came all the way from the US to try authentic Kobe beef, which is supposed to be top-quality meat you can only find in Japan. Unfortunately, Kobe Plaisir left us feeling very disappointed and deceived. It felt like a bait-and-switch aimed at foreigners. We traveled out of our way to Kobe specifically for this experience and ended up paying around $250 for what seemed like low-grade meat. We thought we’d get a teppanyaki-style meal, but apparently, that’s only offered to Japanese customers. Instead, we were seated in a hidden area behind curtains. Not sure if that was for privacy or to keep us out of sight. Then came the menu—an English version that was clearly different from the regular one. We were only offered one option: beef chuck, not the higher grades we expected. When we tried to look through the menu, the waitress literally held it down, not letting us even flip through it to see other options. It felt like we weren’t allowed to choose. When the food arrived, everything was rushed. The salad tasted bad, and the steak was mediocre at best. We started to question whether it was even real Kobe beef, given how low the quality seemed compared to the price. The meal ended with a minced beef and rice dish that came with some miso soup on top, and it tasted terrible. This experience left a really bad impression. We had expected Japan to take more pride in its Kobe beef, but instead, it felt like we were overcharged and served subpar food just because we were foreigners. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

A truly upmarket place for enjoying the most quality wagyu and professional service. The chef and waiter speak fluent a d polite English. The beef and other dishes are impeccably cooked. Everything is scrumptious. There is a lot of creativity and richness in flavours even in the desserts The best dining experience we had in the trip. The price is at the rather high end yet surely worth it.

Yum yum yum yum. That’s the reaction from the 4 of us. We came specifically to Kobe for its beef and also the Mount Rokko Ropeway. This was a recommendation in my Marco Polo guidebook. We were fortunate to get there at 145pm before last orders at 2pm as they close at 3pm before reopening for later. We ordered the lunch menu and chose the largest loin size. We really enjoyed the various courses. Kobe beef broth at beginning, then salad, and then the main event with grilled vegetables. We had both medium rare and medium upon request. Delicious, tender and flavourful. I enjoyed the rice and dashi soup as well as our Japanese tea. We would come again and would highly recommend. You can sit at the bar table to see the chef cook but there was no availability as a walk in. However we had a lovely table with a fire behind us. We thought it was good value for the experience and the quality of beef and how well it was cooked. Servers were polite and respectful.

Great experience here, some of the best Kobe beef we had on our trip after trying four different places in Kobe. Chef cooks it in front of you if you choose counter seating. Definitely really well cooked and tasty. There is a 10% service charge for dinner. The Kobe beef sushi was average, a bit chewy, would recommend trying it elsewhere.

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The food was fresh and flavorful. The meat was tender and juicy. They served a variety of excellent side dishes before the main course. These included a seasonal soup and a delicious peach apple vinegar juice drink. You can decide to be seated if the food is grilled and cooked in front of you or in a standard dining room. The service is friendly, attentive, and considerate. The atmosphere is comfortable, relaxing, and professional--an incredible experience. I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed.

It was a great experience having Kobe beef! The staff is as nice as can be and the food was great! The chef was very considerate and divided our orders in 3s since we were a group of 3. That way we could try more. We tried both the Kobe filet and Kobe sirloin. I prefer the sirloin since it had more meaty flavor and it seemed more tender, but you really can't go wrong either way. The chef also cooked our lobster medium rare which we loved! After the dinner, they bring you into another room for dessert which was great! It was more relaxing and let us have a good conversation.

Teppanyaki without reservation. Sat alongside an elderly Japanese/English businessman group. To quote one of the gentlemen: "I've been travelling and dining with customers and partners for 20 years. This was the best dinner I've ever had". Not sure if I fully agree with him, but it was preeeeetty good. Employees all spoke tolerable English, chef included. Service was good. The dinner price was not cheap by any standard - we could eat for a week in less fine places for the combined bill... Oh well!

I hardly give rating on yelp. But I m very upset with this restaurant. There are three options, teppan, steam, and shabu Shabu. We can't choose different one as group, either or. So we choose the Shabu shabu style, we ordered the most expensive course $7000 yen. They put our courses in one plate, and didn't explain that all the meal is in one plate. which is very unacceptable. The servers English is very limited, servers explained in the first place there are more kobe beef coming after the plate we finished. But we waited over 20 min, nothing come. We asked again, they said that plate we just got was the only meat we are getting. Bad explanation, service not so great, not worth the price. They also spill waters on my friend's phone. I can't only give two star for the food, but service and others can be greatly improve.
