SAKE JAPANESE BISTRO AND BAR REVIEWS

What a lovely little place! This was our first sushi in Missouri. The server/host was an absolutely delightful person. He was kind and helpful and gave us plenty of space and time to decide. We were disappointed in the lack of options when it came to raw fish in the rolls. There were great nigiri and sashimi Options, but the rolls were mostly cooked fish or crab/shrimp based. What we ordered though - it was incredible. Hamachi sashimi, rainbow roll, unagi roll, and spider roll. The rainbow roll did have raw salmon and tuna on it, so that was the favorite! But all rolls were incredible.

Good service experience for lunch. Grabbed Tiger Roll & River Water Martini 10/10, both extremely flavorful. I saw $6 Martini Monday's, more incentive to go back.

I went here for a special occasion and we both got the same sushi bowl. It was so delicious. This was something that we splurged on and all the sashimi was so good. I would go back for this many times over. Definitely try it out.

OSAKA JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

We went to Osaka last night for my birthday and it was FANTASTIC. We’d never been here before, but decided to try it on a whim. The food was great, we loved the Sake sampler, and the service was phenomenal. Our server told us he had a birthday surprise for me, and after our meal, he came out with deep fried ice cream with a candle in it! I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday dinner. We’ll definitely be back.

Best place for BBQ! The meat is incredibly fresh and perfectly marinated. The side dishes come in generous portions, making the meal even more satisfying. We ordered one set for two and were completely full. The atmosphere is great, making it a perfect spot for gatherings with friends. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing experience. Our server was an older gentleman who was extremely polite and answered my wife's question about the menu. The food came out, and it was absolutely beautiful. The food was hot and delicious. At no time were we rushed, the server did an absolutely amazing job.

KOBE JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE REVIEWS

We came in about 40 minutes before closing but they were still more than happy to sit us for hibachi. Dan gave us a great hibachi experience, super friendly and interactive. Corey was the BEST server, very attentive and happy that even though we came in late and stayed past close appreciated our business. They topped it off by bringing us free dessert. We almost ordered in but so glad we went to Kobe instead for a great dinner and experience.

The hostess was welcoming. The chef was personable, good cook and seasoned food well. The noodles are not my favorite, the vetables were phenomenal, the shrimp was fresh and big, and I liked the fried rice. I would return to this restaurant.

Came with my group of 4 around 5 pm. The place wasn't too busy. We waited maybe 5 minutes to be seated. Our chief was so fun and the food was so so so tasty! Food quantity was so plentiful as well. My birthday boy even got his slice of cheesecake!
