Kobe Wellbeing Tonkatsu - Bellevue

Take this with a grain of salt, or a teaspoon of gochujang, as the case may be because we popped in after a long morning of flying and dealing with SEA-TAC car rentals. Because SEA-TAC wa such a debacle of an experience, we ate at Kobe between lunch and dinner, and wasn't up for a full meal. We did have two LARGE Sapporo beers for medicinal purposes and one order of the ddokboki (rice cakes), and the grilled shisamo fish. The fish were DELECTABLE. As long as you are a gourmand enough to enjoy little fish whole, you're going to love this. Wee seafood pockets bursting with roe and flavor, they were delightful. The ddokboki was really good too, clearly made with an anchovy broth adding to the deeper flavor vs made with a lesser liquid. While not as good as what you'd get in Namdaemun market on Seoul (a tall order), it harkened to that direction well enough. Service was very friendly, and it was a good jolt of tastiness and medical relief by way of fermented grains and hops.

Fresh and delicious! I would love to order party tray again. All my friends enjoyed! Thank you!

This place was very good for lunch! It was hot outside and my partner and I were very hungry from walking around town all day. Kobe was very cool inside and had fast and friendly staff. There were a lot of choices on the menu and I got a mixed plate. The food was absolutely amazing. Very happy I stopped here. Memorable experience.

The food was delicious and an excellent value. We had a spicy pork hot pot bibimbap and a spicy seafood udon noodle bowl. Servings were generous, and each dish was about $17-$18. The service was fast, polite, and professional. Each dish came with a miso soup and a salad. The dressing on the salad was very nice. This restaurant seems to be a fusion of Korean and Japanese. The udon had lots of Korean spices in it.

I visited this restaurant recently, and the food was outstanding! The service was quite good, and I really appreciated the decor throughout the place. There was a minor issue with a hair in my sushi (which can happen anywhere), but they handled it incredibly well and promptly brought me a fresh order. The prices were reasonable, and overall, the meal was delicious! I had the Tempura California Roll for $10.95.
