Located in the Cub Foods Plaza sits Kobe, an oriental hibachi grill, with one of the most exciting restaurant atmospheres of any place in town. You can feel the heat of the flames right in front of your very eyes, seeing how the professional chefs put on one mesmerizing show by pretty much playing with your food before you eat it. It may be expensive but it is well worth it, the food is easily the best oriental food in all of central Illinois. And if its your birthday , you are treated with a cake and a happy birthday song sung in Japanese!

Also there is an off shoot of Kobe in Eastland Mall right next to Panada Express. The food is delicious even though the variety is not that of the acutal resturant. The prices are very resonable and thye give you so much food it is hard to eat it all.
