Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"It was a short walk from my hotel so it was very nice that the food was amazing! The service and wait staff all 5 stars. Very quick and friendly.. Ended up ordering The famous platter of garlic sauce beef..seevice with fried rice, came with miso soup and salad.with ginger dressing. Also ordered shrimp tempura for appetizers . The cocktails came out nice and strong Highly recommend if you are in the area or the from the area.."
"Noah was an excellent server, very prompt and checked in often. He fought off an army of men to protect my leftovers. He saved my eternal soul. Food was also great, but subpar compared to the superb service Noah provided. I sincerely hope, for no reason whatsoever, he is rewarded with a $50 gift card to Kobe."
"We were visiting from Florida and we had absolutely the best time at this location. We agree that hands-down the show was unlike anything we had seen before there was tons of tricks that we just don’t see at home and even though we were a small party we still caught full amount of dedication. I cannot remember our cooks name so I’m gonna post some pictures with him in there."
"Chef Nanang was our chef twice in a row and was amazing!! He was very interactive and don’t even get me started on the food.. this place definitely deserves the 5 stars! I definitely recommend to any family’s wanting to celebrate an event!"
"Went last night and had an amazing time! Our server Jordan was so good! Definitely a more fun experience than last week with Noah as our server."
"The service was amazing and the energy was high. For some reason they still have Christmas decor up in Febuary.... The seats are REALLY squeezed in, you have next to no elbow room. I have also had better sushi from the grocery store, very disappointed in those things. But the Hibachi food is some of the best I have ever had at one of these places. I highly recomend the steak, the flavor still lives on in my dreams. I will 100% go back again but I will never ever order the sushi again and ill aim for a corner seat."
"Had dinner at Kobe Ninja House Japanese Grill in Bangor, and it was a delightful experience! We opted for the standard hibachi: I had the chicken, while my companion chose the chicken, steak, and shrimp combo. The dishes were cooked to perfection, with generous portions and flavorful accompaniments like fried rice and vegetables. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we indulged in their special cocktails: the Valentine’s Love on the Rocks and the Cupid Flirtini. Both were delicious and added a festive touch to our meal. The atmosphere was lively, and our chef’s performance made the evening entertaining. Service was prompt and friendly; our drinks arrived right on time. Overall, Kobe Ninja House offers a fun and interactive dining experience. We look forward to returning!"
"Was hard to give 5 stars based on my experience last week with our server Noah, he was very pushy saying that if we gave a review he would receive $100 compensation, I of course blew it off as I ain’t no shill for nobody. However I decided to go back and double down. I came in hot and heavy ready to extort Noah for half the $100 compensation, but was met with a different server. I had to shift my devious approach and attempt to social engineer my new bald server, I think his name was Jordan? As the time ticked down and we became close to finishing our meal I was getting anxious, I was waiting for the moment that Jordan would attempt to extort me so I could reverse extort him. However, that moment never came, Jordan came back to the table, light shining off his beautiful bald head, gave us the check and told us to have a great day with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. That was it, no extortion, no lies and deception, just a wonderful experience with our server Jordan."
