Kobe Bellevue Restaurant - Bellevue (WA)

5 /5 James Park: Great food, excellent service! this place offers both Korean and Japanese cuisine, and every dish is amazing with fresh ingredients. I always make it a point to eat here when I’m in Bellevue, and I highly recommend it to everyone. They have a wide variety of options, perfect for any occasion or weather.

4 /5 Ajay C J: Visited Kobe on a busy Wednesday noon with colleagues. We were welcomed with hot miso soup and a small bowl of greens with custard—simple and exactly what you’d expect at a Korean spot, nothing over the top. I ordered the hot pot bibimbap with soft tofu. The portion size was generous for the price, and the flavors were nicely balanced. The dish felt comforting, though not particularly elevated. Overall, it’s a place where you can reliably fill up on good, straightforward Korean flavors without much fuss. The ambience is very low-key, but service was impressively quick. A highlight for me was the dedicated vegetarian section on the menu—something I always appreciate. Would I come back? Maybe, especially if a Korean craving strikes.

5 /5 Jason L: Stopped by Kobe on a Tuesday evening after work for a quick bite. For folks coming from the suburbs, parking is clearly labeled at the entrance and easy. It’s also free, spacious, and shared with the hotel, which adds a sense of security. That stress-free start sets a good tone for the meal. I ordered the bibimbap served in a hot stone bowl, and it hit the spot. One standout was the salad, mainly because of the unique dressing, which they even sell separately on the side. I appreciated the sink located outside the restrooms. It’s perfect for a quick hand wash or if you’re inpatient like myself. The restaurant also has Asian ice cream options and a decent selection of alcohol. Since I was dining solo, I sat at the sushi bar, which was calm and clean.

4 /5 Emily Jie: Servers first day and she was super sweet. I got the teriyaki bento box and it was good. The eggroll tasted bad. My younger sister ordered the ramen and it was very bland, don’t order the ramen. If you’re coming here I would recommend getting a bento box, sushi roll, or spicy pork hot plate. Stay away from the ramen. Overall, atmosphere was great the food wasn’t bad. Food 3.75/5, Service 5/5, and Atmosphere 5/5

5 /5 Arabelless: If I could give Kobe more than 5 stars, I would. Every dish we tried was outstanding. The White Dragon Roll was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Hot Pot Bibimbop arrived sizzling with perfectly balanced spices. The Teriyaki Chicken with Yakisoba was pure comfort food, and the Chicken and Dumplings were rich and satisfying. For dessert we shared the chocolate ice cream, which turned out to be Oreo cookie ice cream—a great surprise and an even better value. The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and it is clear the staff works as a team. The ambience is calming and makes it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. This will definitely be our regular spot for date nights and whenever we are craving something amazing.
