13492 Hwy. 183 N. #380, 288-7333 Monday-Friday, 11am-2pm; Monday-Thursday, 5-10pm; Friday-Saturday, 5-11pmSneaking in quietly among the construction of Highway 183, Kobe has built a steady following from Northern-dwelling Austinites. Busy weekend nights prove that the thrill of watching someone toss your meat in the air and then catch it with a spatula behind their back never gets old. Steak, seafood, and chicken come in a variety of freshly prepared grilling combinations with generous servings of appetizers and soup. The sushi menu is pretty substantial for not being their specific specialty and always fresh. Plan ahead of time if you want true Kobe beef imported from Japan -- that requires advance ordering.
