This is hands down the worst Japanese restaurant i ever had food from. $80 wasted the edamame the smallest I ever seen and cold, no salt on it at all. The sushi fish didn’t feel fresh, the tonkatsu pork horrible I had to throw the entire dish in the trash. Shrimp tempura $4 for one shrimp and the batter was yuck. The entire food lack seasoning.

I visited Kabuki today and left genuinely upset with how the staff handled a situation that should have been taken seriously. I waited a few minutes to be seated, which wasn’t an issue since they seemed short staffed. After sitting down, I ordered a water and a miso soup.

When the server brought my order, he spilled the entire miso soup across the table and all over my jeans and shirt. Accidents happen, but what happened after is what really bothered me. There was no real apology, no acknowledgment of the soup on my clothes, and no manager ever checked in. I was simply handed a towel while they cleaned the table. That was the extent of the “response.”

This wasn’t a small inconvenience. I was on my lunch break from work, and because my clothes were soaked with soup, I had to cross the street and buy a new outfit just to return to my job. That’s time and money out of my day because the situation wasn’t handled properly.

Restaurants make mistakes, but most places step up immediately, apologize, involve a manager, and make sure the guest feels taken care of. None of that happened here. They comped one sushi roll but still charged me for the miso that ended up all over me and the other roll I ordered. The issue isn’t the bill. It’s the lack of basic hospitality, awareness, and responsibility from the staff.

I’m sharing this because I hope the store and corporate take this seriously. This wasn’t handled professionally at all, and it shows a real gap in training. A sincere apology, a manager’s involvement, and some acknowledgment of the impact on my day would have gone a long way. Instead, I left feeling dismissed and frustrated.

1 Black cod is terrible, tail section.. thin dry strong tasting
2 rainbow roll pieces cut way too thick and again not fresh, strong taste
3 tempura shrimp cold, sponge texture not crisp
4 spicy tuna roll cut way too big and fishy
The quality I've come to expect over the years of this place has really gone downhill my last order has been terrible

Their lunch menu offers a variety selections and it offers daily. The quality of sashimi is not the best but value for the money. Nothing impressive overall.

Seriously delicious eats at supremely great prices. Wish we had Kabuki up in the Bay Area! If you love a good cocktail with your Asian fusion, this is the place. 🍹🍱! So good, we got some sushi for the road!

Applause to the staff here. They were super attentive and thoughtful. This is the first time I've been to Kabuki. Food was good, prices were reasonable, and the service was great. The fried ice cream was a highlight.

Good place for a bug lunch or a snack. They have a selection of vegetarian choices. Ask the server for additional selections. Their cucumbee rolls are so good.
