“Wow from top to bottom. Kobe Japan had the best sushi and hibachi we’ve ever had. Their Kobe beef was to die for. Their service was fantastic. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. If I’m ever in Livermore again this will be my first stop”

We live close the the Kobe Japan in Pleasant Hill, Ca. We got to visit the Livermore restaurant tonight. It is so nice with big tables for large groups, a sushi bar, and hibachi where they cook in front of you. If you get a chance to visit Livermore or Pleasant Hill, you will love both locations. Thanks Terry and Maggie

Raul T, Yelp Review

We LOVE this Place!
This place has been through a number of owners. The latest incarnation is the best by far. Very good service – they want you to have FUN! The food quality is the best it has ever been too. They are sourcing very good quality meats and seafood and it shows. We frequent the teppanyaki room about once a month.

So I’ve probably been here about a dozen times now, mostly getting the vegetable tempura sushi rolls to go. I try and eat primarily vegan and I can easily accomplish that here. And my non vegan friends can order sushi, teriyaki chicken, beef, bento box, etc. and it is all good. My family and I even went here for Christmas dinner in 2017 and all 6 of us were happy with our orders. The prices are very reasonable too. Plenty of parking and a must visit in my book.
