Kobe Teppanyaki Japanese Restaurant

I had been eager to experience a Teppanyaki dining experience in Melbourne, and after perusing reviews, I decided to celebrate my birthday at Kobe Teppanyaki. Welcomed by a warm smile, we were promptly escorted to our table. Though I didn't catch the chef's name, their politeness and exceptional culinary skills, coupled with entertaining techniques like food and plate tossing, added a delightful touch to the evening. The open kitchen allowed us to witness the culinary magic unfold before our eyes.

Opting for the Wagyu dinner set menu priced at $116 per person, we were pleasantly surprised as the dishes arrived in a seamless flow. Kobe Teppanyaki's commitment to using only the freshest, high-quality ingredients was evident, and the meat and seafood were impeccably seasoned, rendering additional sauces unnecessary.

The diverse selection of drinks provided a nice complement to the meal. A thoughtful gesture came in the form of a plate adorned with a candle and a "Happy Birthday" message, enhancing the overall experience. The attention to detail transported me back to the authentic Teppanyaki experiences I enjoyed in Japan.

While acknowledging that Kobe Teppanyaki is on the higher end in terms of pricing, the exceptional quality and the added elements for special occasions make it a worthwhile investment. I left with the intention of returning for another memorable dining experience.

Kobe Teplanyaki is a great experience. Its tucked away at the end of a small strip of shops so you probably wouldn't find it unless your looking for it. Inside is a very nice traditional japanese style Teppanyaki setup. Staff are great, our chef Howard was a wiz with the grill and also happy to share some pointers on how to cook a steak. The Wagyu beef was on point, as smooth as butter. I highly recommend upgrading the desert to a banana fritter.

A fantastic large family night. The action by the chefs definitely was enjoyed by all ages.

Always wonderful food and service. I have been going here for about ten years and it's always delicious and lovely service.

Amazing service by Howard when my family came to Teppanyaki for my brothers 30th. Howards service was above and beyond expectations and would definitely come again just to have the great service like we did with him.
The food was amazing but definitely the highlight of the night was being served by Howard.

Serving sizes have significantly decreased, almost impossible to get there attention to order. Not as good as it used to be.

We had a wonderful time there, service is the best. Staff including our chef is amazing, they work very hard to make us happy and give us the best experience. Amazing

Caters for all with warm hospitality and atmosphere.
Took Mum out for a delicious meal in the dining area.
Went back a week later with and caught up with old friends on the Teppanyaki side.
Seriously delicious!

Had dinner there for my brother’s birthday. It was so much fun and the food is amazing. The kids and adults both got a chance to participate at their activities. So inclusive and memorable.highly recommend

First time visitor to this amazing restaurant in East Doncaster. The food was fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant to all abroad.

Slow service, sub-standard food, area bit run down. It was expensive for the food and service provided.

Kobe is a fantastic restaurant with top notch staff. All of the food on the menu is absolutely delicious. I have visited this place over 15 times and each time the food and staff have not disappointed. The sashimi is incredibly fresh and the sushi is handcrafted by professionals. The tapanyaki is quite an experience and is best enjoyed with family. The dishes are quite expensive and this is one of the only downsides to the restaurant.

Courtney the waitress was so lovely. She went above and beyond to make sure my family’s experience was smooth and attended all our needs. Definitely would come back again!

Love the place and miss it since our move but always go back when we get the chance. Been going there for over 34 years. Best Japanese in the northeastern suburbs of Melbourne.

The place that I would recommend friends and family to come l. Got served by a lovely long hair girl and the best customer service ever. Very enthusiastic and friendly.

We dinned here recently and the night was brilliant. Our Chef was a great entertainer, so funny and the food just melt in our mouth. We had a variety of seafood and wagyu beef. This is one of the best Teppanyaki restaurants in Victoria.

Pleasant and entertaining experience. It was fun watching the chef cook before our eyes.
However the servings when distributed to each diner were small eg one prawn each. Miso soups were served but we had to ask for spoons as they didn't come with them. Rather pricey for what we had.

Not sure why there is a 16 year old serving alcohol in the bar?
food is ok but it isn't authentic japanese food as it is run by chinese which is a bit odd the waiters seem tired and overworked feel sorry for them.

Ambience was nice, service was good throughout although the restaurant was quite empty at the time. Ordered the Kobe sushi combo, it looks quite pretty but unfortunately the fish was not very fresh.

WOW.we went here to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Chin, our chef made it very special & entertaining. The food was cooked to perfection, he really knows when the food is just right to our liking. Really recommend this place, if you get Chin, as your chef.your really going to love the food!
