" Honestly, this place has the best sushi I've had in ages! Everything from the classic California rolls to their thematic creations like the 'Out of Control' roll was bursting with flavor. The prices are reasonable for the quality, and the service was prompt. The restaurant itself has a charming vibe; it’s small but very well maintained. I noticed they had $5 cocktails too, which is a great deal! Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I think of a great sushi place, Kobe Bar & Grill comes to mind. I've been a regular enough to know the staff, who always treat me like family. Their sushi is consistently fresh, and the variety keeps me coming back. One of my favorites is the sashimi martini—it’s a unique twist that I highly recommend. The atmosphere is casual yet warm, making it perfect for a relaxed night out with friends. If you're looking for an authentic sushi experience, this is the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent at Kobe Bar & Grill, I was hoping for a bit more. The sushi was okay but lacked the imaginative combinations that make sushi special. The portions were nice, and the place has a cozy charm. We had a friendly server but felt neglected during peak time. Overall, I’d say it’s worth a visit but not my favorite sushi spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high hopes for Kobe after hearing so much about it. Well, the food was good, but I expected something a bit more inventive. The sushi was fresh but pretty standard, and the hibachi was good but lacked that extra flare. Our service was satisfactory but not outstanding. The cleanliness of the establishment was noticeable, which I appreciate. I am torn—while I wouldn’t dismiss it entirely, I think I’ll explore other options before coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Kobe Bar & Grill was nothing short of exceptional! The sushi was absolutely fresh, with rich flavors that reminded me of my trips to Japan. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. I particularly loved the spicy tuna roll; it had the perfect amount of heat and was beautifully presented. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a date night or family outing. I'll definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kobe Bar & Grill was a hidden gem we discovered in Waldorf. The menu offers a diverse selection of sushi, and each roll we tried was delightful. We particularly loved the crab rangoons; they were perfect—crispy and not overly greasy. The outdoor seating option is a great touch, making it ideal for warm weather dining. Service was a bit slow, but the staff was jovial and prompt with recommendations. Overall, a great experience; we’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unfortunate experience at Kobe. I was eager to try it but found the service lacking on my visit. My server seemed overwhelmed and didn’t check on us frequently. The food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, it didn’t live up to the hype. The sushi was okay, but not amazing, and the hibachi was just average. I would be open to giving it another chance in the future, but my last visit was disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)
