Kobe Japanese Steak House brings authentic teppanyaki to Rancho Mirage’s Highway 111 restaurant row. The reason to go is the format: chefs cook on an iron plate at your table as guests share communal grill seating, making dinner an engaging choice for birthdays and group nights out.

Dinner Becomes the Show

At a teppanyaki table, cooking happens tableside on the iron grill rather than behind a distant kitchen door. Communal seating places guests around the action as the chef prepares the meal. That format makes Kobe especially suited to a celebratory group dinner, where the performance and shared table are as much a part of the visit as the food.

Teppan Choices at the Grill

Teppan dinners include a shrimp appetizer, miso soup, vegetables, and rice, followed by a choice that can include Emperor Steak, filet mignon, chicken teriyaki, halibut, scallops, tiger prawns, ahi tuna, or tofu and vegetable options. The dinner-only restaurant also has early-bird specials and happy hour in the bar.

A Japanese Inn-Inspired Arrival

The setting is designed as a replica of a Japanese country inn, reached past a waterfall and a red footbridge over koi. Inside, kimono-clad servers, a full bar and lounge, and a sushi bar add to the occasion. Stop in for pre-dinner drinks and appetizers, or explore the sushi bar alongside the teppanyaki experience.

Reservations are accepted and advisable because teppan tables seat guests communally in timed rounds. Takeout is available by phone, with delivery offered through DoorDash.
