Superb food. Service could be a touch more attentive for price point I.e. wipe table between courses and ensure water filled. Overall though, very good ?

Having been to Kabooki twice before and had great experiences, we were excited to celebrate my mother in-law’s birthday at the Sand Lake location. The service wasn’t great from the very beginning but became shocking when they brought out 3 of 4 moriawase orders. We put them in when our server told us it was last call for the kitchen. After stating he was sorry, he thought we ordered three, he went and asked the sushi chefs if they would make another. They said no. So one of our guests didn’t get dinner. He said the manager would “do something” and apologized profusely but, even more shocking, the manager never came to our table. I definitely won’t be eating at Kabooki again. There are plenty of other great sushi restaurants in Orlando.* Update *The manager did finally come talk to us and they did comp quite a bit of the check. I worked in the food industry for nearly 10 years and I understand mistakes happen. But when a mistake means a guest doesn’t get dinner, the manager should have come to the table immediately and the guest offered something. Not something free next time or a discount on their bill but actual food since they are now leaving your restaurant hungry.

Great staffThe fried tempura shrimp and fried chicken was very salt. Sushi was good. More on the pricey side for salty food.Music was too loud and didn’t match a sushi experience vibe.
Everything is top notch. $150 a person is about right. Waygu sampler hot plate was a perfect ramp up to exquisite sushi. (The hot plates drew attention, but I can't hold the restaurant responsible for the stares of rude guests.) The cheesecake and C-4 desserts were a perfect finish.

Nigiri pieces are far too small. Ordered moriewasi and was disappointed. Other places in the area are much better. Sashimi was fine but had a bit of fishy aftertaste which is ok probably for most but i eat quite a bit of sushi/sashimi and definitely know what I'm talking about. Rolls were fine. Overall, it's not bad, but for the price I expect better.

Kabooki Sushi is a great place for a date night. The ambience is very nice and the food is amazing. From the bluefin and tiger cream to the wagyu, shishito peppers and the ramen, all are delicious. Great cocktails too!!

TL;DR: Sub-par/mediocre food. Expensive prices. Good serviceCame here due to the high reviews and recommendations, and unfortunately left feeling very disappointed/having buyers remorse (which is rare for us). The inside was very nicely decorated and modern. Service was very nice and attentive.FOOD:~Tuna Flight (2.5/5): came with tuna, chutoro, and otoro. The cuts are smaller than average, and the flavor was okay. The temperature of the fish was a little off for me~Maguro Truffle (2.5/5): Could not taste the tuna nor the truffle. The crispy bits on the outside were good but overpowering~Ebi gyoza (3/5): not sure why I expected these to be steamed, but they were fried, but the wrapper was too thick and chewy. The filling was good, but under seasoned. Came with a mojo sauce under which I found confusing~Wagyu Flight (3/5): Can't go wrong with Wagyu. VERY small portion for price. Came with A3, A4, and A5 wagyu that you cook on a hot stone~Sashimi Moriawase (3/5): Came with some unique fish. The cuts were weird, and you get 10 pieces of fish for $60. Some of the sauce tops were not good~Ghost Roll (3/5): While the sauce topped with is was tasty, that was all you could taste. Could not taste the eel or salmon~Hokkaido Roll (1.5/5): the MOST disappointing item. The scallops tasted like literally nothing.~Sticky Ribs (2.5/5): this came out last after all our sushi, so timing wasn't great. The ribs were somehow soft but dry at the same time. The sauce was VERY hoisin forward. Couldn't taste any chiliOverall, this place was far too expensive for the quality of their food. Has good atmosphere and service, but the food was lacking.
