Does My Bomb Look Big In This
+4
In fickle ol’ Sydney-town many restaurants come and go, but some survive and thrive, weaving their way into the very fabric of the place.Kobe Jones has been putting the fire into date night for the last fifteen years, using their Flaming Number One Special ($22.50/2 pieces). Sparked up tableside, these one-bite fireballs have been on the menu since 2010, when I first dined at their sister restaurant, Wharf Teppanyaki, where they are made on the teppanyaki grill. Smothered in Kobe Jones’ special sauce with a contrasting splash of soy glaze, they contain crab salad and avocado, wrapped up in nori and hiramasa kingfish. Against a Tokyo Slipper ($19.99) – an accessible Midori-based cocktail garnished with yuzu (Japanese citrus) sorbet – they’re a good way to...
Born in Japan and raised in Australia, meet Kobe Jones. Kobe is the city in central Japan where the world-famous wagyu beef originates from and Jones is obviously a common western surname; together they embody the finest of Japanese food culture with a Californian twist. Alongside this culinary philosophy, Kobe Jones offers a stunning waterfront setting in the heart of King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour.
Overall 4.5 out of 5! We absolutely loved our time here. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. I'm not going to lie it is definitely pricey but certain dishes were worth it! Our favourite dish was the flaming no1 special and the Hokkaido horenso scallops.
The panacotta was silky smooth and the green tea creme brulee was subtle and beautiful! You could slightly taste the lighter fluid on top though. Would definitly come back
This dimly lit restaurant with harbour views is a great “special occasion” venue. Service is prompt and every dish we ordered was so gooooood! Pricing wise is expensive however I managed to go there with a 50% discount.
Menu highlights: flaming number one special, hokkaido horenso (scallops), miso black cod

good and fast service. the beef is really soft and fresh, sashimi and seafood taste good too! u will get free drink on wednesday! recommend.
I have not been to Kobe Jones for years and nothing's change.
The food is still as good as I remember and the atmosphere is still lovely with a lovely view of Darling Harbour. Our waitress was friendly and attentive.
Dish of the night has to be the HOKKAIDO HORENSO which is the seared scallops.
As always the food was great, service was very attentive. I just wish they could have added some type of ramen to the menu then i would given a "5".
Dined here for dinner last week, ordered alacarte compaired to the majority of people who were here using a Groupon voucher.
The number 1 special is great and highly recommended trying. The wagyu dish was also nice. Unfortunately the tempura batter for the prawns was a but of a let down, it was rather heavy & I was expecting the prawns to be long and straight. It was a rather expensive dish for what it was & we didn't finish it as it was one of the last dishes to come out. The croquettes were also rather odd, although noce & crunchy outside the texture inside was too runny.
Service was ok, not very attentive at times.
I think my old review was deleted not sure how or why.
Overall not bad place, howver some dishes can be pricey.
Took the family here on Friday and though we had heaps of fun, the food wasn't spectacular. I bought coupons online so we got the 13 course Lobster Tasting menu for $69 rather than $155pp.
The restaurant is very nice and modern, the staff are attentive and very quick to clean up and top up our cups.
The food was mediocre but we had a good time.
We booked in for this summer seafood for 2 from groupon, and it is an unforgettable experience. Service is really great. Waitresses are all Asian girls, and work so fast with pretty smile on the face. The food are impressive, rich in flavor and creative in combination. Especially enjoyed the kingfish sashimi. My husband and I agreed that's the hightlight of the menu. The lobster tail is quite big, and cooked on a hot stone in front of us, and that caught attention of several people dining there. Will recommend.
The food and service was worth the price (with a Groupon voucher). The environment is pretty romantic with blue and red light, so can be a good place for dating. The service really depended on the staff who served you. Because we had 11-course meal, and the Asian-look staff always introduced the dishes when she served us. But when it was other staff who gave us the dish, they just put the plate down without any explanation.
We had purchased the Groupon Offer for the 10 Course Degustation with Cocktail Upgrade for $174 for two people.
We were not disappointed! I am rating at 5 stars because of the value for money in the Groupon deal for what is normally $340.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented.
The wait-staff were pleasant and explained each course as it was brought out.
Cocktails start at $20, however the wine menu was a lot more than your average restaurant starting at $69 for a bottle.
We enjoyed views of Darling Harbour with the fresh breeze.

Dishes here are designed to be shared. Their menu is extensive offering sushi, sashmi, seafood, meats, banquets and other modern Japanese dishes. The restaurant itself is very open with a nice view overlooking the harbour. Just note you may need to eat a little quicker and bring a cardigan if there's a breeze.
There's lots of set menus available but they're definitely on the pricier side (and many banquets have a minimum of 3 people). Because of this we decided to order individual dishes including seafood which you cook at the table on a hot rock (included kingfish, tuna, salmon, scallops, mushrooms, asparagus, rich butter for cooking and 3 sauces - ponzu, seaweed, mayo), teriyaki chicken (tasty, sauce was thin/runny - which was fine, just different) and gin and tonic oysters (I love oysters but these were just average - maybe it's seasonal). We tried a few cocktails 'lost in translation', 'Tokyo slipper' and 'sunset' - I liked the latter two because they were a bit more tropical with pineapple juice. Lastly we had desserts of chocolate fondant (yummy! Rich!) and their twist on sticky date pudding.
Great dining experience. $$$. Waterfront venue, great service. Excellent for a special occasion. You may want to bring something warm as it may get cold at night if you sit outside. The heaters might be too powerful so it gets too hot if you sit close to it.
Excellent view of the water, especially with the low angle sun. Quiet, good for low talking. Attentive non-obtrusive service.
Great food. The number 1 special was very special as usual. The steak was very tasty and melt-in-mouthy, minimal chewing required. The chocolate lava was so dark that not even light could escape.
The Kimi To Boku cocktail was well sized and coloured perfectly for romanticism.
My boyfriend took me here for a surprise bday dinner. It was a great experience with well trained chefs giving you a spectacular show and nice views of the harbour. The lobster was cooked so great, no faults given.
