This is a MUST!
Honestly...when Kabuki closed on Foothill Blvd, we thought it had closed for good and we were so sad. BUT recently we discovered it had moved to Colorado and San Gabriel Blvd..
So happy to report that it is still an excellent place to enjoy wonderfully prepared Japanese cuisine that is not only delicious but well presented.
We had the basic bento Teriyaki combos with tempura.
Portions are generous and come with traditional miso soup and a side of rice, plus salad, and more.
Don't forget to save room for dessert..mochi or green tea ice cream!

The Shrimp Krab Udon Pasta is my favorite.
Ask for Marcello or Anna when you arrive. You will receive friendly and a stellar service from them.

On Saturday 01/24/2026 I telephone ordered Beef Sukiyaki for takeout dinner. Eating it at home I bit into a sharp piece of metal that poked the inside of my mouth. Had the soup cooled down I would have taken huge bites/gulps and swallowed it. I called the store, spoke to the store manager to notify of incident, she offered to replace the soup, which I wanted no part of again. She voided the transaction. Manager told me I would hear from Human Resources on Monday, I never heard from her. A week went by and I dropped off the metal shard in person and was told by the store manager that she would email HR to get back to me, and I still never heard back from them. I even submitted an inquiry on the main Kabuki website directly. Still never heard back from them. Do NOT order soup here unless you enjoy sharp metal in food.

The server was rude and controlling from the start, rushing us to order and making us feel uncomfortable. When it was time for dessert, my husband ordered a fried ice cream, I ordered another one, and she immediately interrupted with “No, no, no, two ice creams, one is enough” — as if she gets to decide what paying customers can order in an à la carte restaurant.
At checkout, while we were signing the receipt, she again interrupted saying “not too much”, tossed the receipt on the table, and walked away. The situation made us feel pressured and almost forced to leave a tip. Out of politeness, we still left 20%, though the service clearly did not deserve it.
I did speak with the manager afterward, and she was very kind and professional. However, that does not erase the unpleasant experience caused by the server. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Fun spot with more open and lively atmosphere. I enjoy the teriyaki chicken with mixed tempura plate. My wife loves the veggie tempura rolls and seared tuna steak. Haven’t tried the happy hour yet, but we’re planning on it.

Really great Japanese restaurant serving all kinda of authentic dishes. They have a great deal for lunch, the portions are big and amazing value. All of the food tasted delicious and was presented beautifully. The interior is huge and very clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. They have plenty of free parking in a parking lot or underground parking.

I would get this place 4.5 stars overall. It's the same Kabuki that we all know and love, with solid sushi and rolls. I used to frequent Kabuki once a month and though there have been some modifications to their menu, they have been consistent in their quality and taste. I just wouldn't put this at the very top of my sushi list :-) but everyone has their preferences. This new location looks great on the inside, much more open ambiance, and we had really good service.
