Kobetei

Expect Top grade, melt in your mouth Kobe beef at Kobetei. Be warned! In japan Great quality certainly does not come without a price. Eating at Kobetei was the most expensive meal of our trip. We paid 12,000 yen per person for the Tori Course. And that was just one of the more cheaper course optio...ns. I’d give the restaurant a higher rating if it weren’t for the fact that if you’re eating with friend you’ll have to all order the same meal course. My wife doesn’t eat beef so the only other meat option was sushi, which was great, but the restaurant made us pay for it right away when she received the food. My friend and I were still eating and hadn’t even finished our beef! We objected and told the staff we’ll pay for the all the food once we were finished. To top that off the maitre ‘d wasn’t friendly and really didn’t make us feel welcome.

You might look at the price and think, wow, is it worth it? To put it simply, yes. If you could have one night of your trip to splash out for a fancy dinner Kobe tei is the right place to go. You must book ahead of time and tell them which course you are going to have. I believe my husband and I had... the Tori course which was the second cheapest. It's about 10 courses. Everything around the meat was delicious, but the meat was exceptional. Completely mouthwatering meats from a variety of places. Service was good, a little bit slow in communicating with each other (we had already been asked and served at the start of the meal and ordered drinks, a few minutes later another server came and asked us all the same questions). Overall a great experience and happy we spent the money because now we have the great memories of the delicious meal.

We had the best meal in Niseko here. We had reservations placed in some time before our arrival in Niseko and we took the 8.30 pm slot (this seems better in Niseko as there was no rush to finish for the next seating). The restaurant was full even in the second seating! We took the Kaze set and were... served by Take. He provides great service and cooked the beef slices with such aplomb and kept the atmosphere cheerful! The beef cuts were good and there was more than enough to eat. The grilled wagyu sukiyaki beef with truffles had generous truffle slices and was the best item in the menu. Food was served at a nice speed and the apple sorbet for dessert was so yummy! It was a little surprising to see this restaurant ranking so low. Maybe it was the price that deters many from coming but you can be assured that it was worth it! Having to book way ahead and a full restaurant is a testimony to the quality of the food here!

Very hard to get a table and have very high expectations because of the waiting list ( 7 days). We even chose the menu before coming..!! We end up paying 63 000 yen for 2 kids and 2 adults. We have some very small pcs of kobe beef and the food was good but not amazing. For this price I expect much ...more in terms of food quality and service.

A must for beef lovers if you are in Niseko. A good range of beef at different budget for your selection. You cook the beef to your personal preference and can’t blame the Chef if you don’t get the right ‘doneness’ or ‘ rare’. The side dishes are delicious too and compliments the BBQ. The seating... in the restsurant is tight but cosy , typical of Japanese restsurant. Don’t go there with your branded coat as all the coats will be hung and squashed at the foyer area.
