Kabuki Japanese Restaurant

Our server Josh was amazing, give this man a raise! This was our first time here and we are used to very flavorful broth, which this place unfortunately didn't have. We first ordered the Tonkatsu ramen but when we didn't like it he offered suggestions of what ramen to get instead and gave us replacements for free. I would recommend the spicy beef or spicy miso ramen!

Great food and service

Came in from NY and ordered a cocktail, dumplings, and ramen. They forgot the ramen 🤦‍♂️. Sat for a hour and got little to no service before I decided I'm just wasting my time.

Absolutely loved our experience at Kabuki!
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm and friendly service. The staff were attentive, polite, and made us feel welcome right away.

The food was amazing everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you're into sushi, ramen, or bento boxes, there's something delicious for everyone.

The ambiance was relaxing and stylish, perfect for a casual meal or a nice dinner out. Clean, comfortable, and well-lit with a great vibe.

The location is also very convenient with plenty of parking nearby, making it easy to get to.

Highly recommend Kabuki for anyone looking for great Japanese food with excellent service and a wonderful atmosphere!

Good service but 3.50 for a single tempura shrimp is insane man. Food kinda mid too.

great food and a crazy bathroom. love the environment , our server Henry was extremely helpfully with the menu! coming back!

Great food. Yellowtail sushi is the best I've had

I enjoy the sushi at kabukis the unagi bowl is great so is the kabuki roll

Impossible to give a complete review, today January 11 at 6:42 I arrived, I registered and they sent me a message 7 minutes later when I didn't notice the message I was taken off the list, because I was talking to my partner and my daughter, I approached when I saw that they had notified me only three minutes later, but the person who registered me is not the same one who answers, "he scolded me", when I explained to him that I don't live with the cell phone in my hand, he raises his voice and tells me that I will have to go back on his waiting list, but in a rude and impolite way, so we immediately left the place, there are ways to explain everything without rudeness as was the case, I don't know if I will return

I'll begin by saying that my review is based on eating at a premium Japanese restaurant, not your garden-variety Japenese or Asian cuisine. The prices are so high that it demands a review for an exceptional eatery. Also, this review comes from one who has eaten excellent sushi and other Japanese foods all over the world.

That said, if you want to have enjoyable food, this place is good. You'll have nice flavors and portions to satisfy most diners. If you go at lunch and get the specials, it makes it less painful to the pocketbook. However, even getting all lunch special items and not having drinks, two of us dropped $70 on 3 items. When you come at a normal time, expect $40-50 per person just on food.

First, we had side salads. These were a 6/10. They were small but had a pretty nice herbal/vinegar dark sauce. Presentation was standard. There was nothing else interesting, but the ingredients were high quality.

Next, we had a spicy tuna roll and a nigiri sampler. This item was Sushi Moriawase. The tuna rolls were a 4/10 and were barely suitable for a mid range restaurant. The tuna was not spicy, and though the meat portion was generous, the overall flavor profile was unimpressive. There was no pop or good flavor blend. The Nori was unacceptable. It was so tough that it actually made it hard to chew.

The nagiri was the best item we ate. The meat was very high caliber and cut well, aside from the shrimp that wasn't as tender as a premium offering. Ity was a 7/10. The tuna, salmon, albacore, and yellowtail were set on a perfect size bed of rice and we so tender that they came apart with almost no force. I give these a 9/10. The texture was awesome, ranking amongst the best locations in the city. Still, it clearly is not the best.

Last, we had spicy miso ramen. Presentation was okay but on the weak side. I give the Ramen a 6/10, as you can get better, cheaper Ramen all over the city. The spice was very weak, and there was no offering of the spicy sauce to heat it up. The miso flavor was good but not great. The ratio of Ramen to toppings was off, leaning far too heavily toward the Ramen. It gave the bowl a cheap feeling. The pork was also not sufficiently cooked. it was okay, but not that delightful tenderness of a properly cooked slice that melts into your Ramen bite. Sprouts, mushrooms and the other toppings were likewise too small.

Service was top tier. The employees here are very good, attending to you, the meal pace and any needs. I was very impressed with their kindness and competence.

Otherwise, the atmosphere of the place is good and the design is fun. A trip to the bathroom is a must so you can enjoy the off tangent walls and tile! It is situated nicely on the second floor right in front of the arena and looks out over the courtyard. They have good seating inside and out, along with a well stocked bar.

At the end of the day, a trip is good, but not particulary interested in returning.

Kid-friendliness: There is no special child accommodation.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator to reach the entrance.

Don't come here for ramen. It was watery and bland. The dumplings were good.

Came at 1600 because I was really craving sushi. All employees are distracted much more involved in their maintenance issues. Nobody asked what I wanted to order for a while . I had to hail them down then they were annoyed. Nobody checked on me to see if I wanted more or anything else . I again had to hail them down walking across restaurant to get attention. 👎🏻

Amazing service Josh and Jacob Garcia made the night memorable. Best bartender duo at Westgate. Hard to find service like this now a days. Drinks filled, plates fresh and positive attitudes during a busy time. 1st experience in AZ memorable. Thank you guys!!

The restrooms are a safety hazard to people with vertigo and equilibrium problems. The rest of the restaurant is normal, but the restrooms are modified to appear like some trendy illusion funhouse. The tiles are placed slanted, and even some of the walls are slanted. I think the floor may have been slanted, but as someone with the previously mentioned health concerns, I couldn't say for sure.

The workers were very friendly. However, the food is overpriced. I paid $8 for 11 slivers of fries. The "rice bowls" are definitely rice bowls: huge bowls of rice sprinkled with a little meat. The food is delicious, but it is not worth going back to this place again for it.
