“Awesome food. Awesome service. But mostly, awesome people!!!!!!!! It’s our go to restaurant now!“

“Great food and atmosphere! I would recommend coming here for the Sushi and Hibachi!“

“There’s rust on the buffets, the food was room temperature and the bathrooms look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. There is so much build up on the faucets and there is dried human waste smeared in the stalls. I left an entire plate of food sitting there because there was no way I was eating food prepared there after I saw the conditions presented to the public. I don’t even want to think about what the kitchen looks like.“

“After reading all the great reviews, I wanted to check this place out... and I wasn't disappointed! It's a quaint, little onigiri shop with a very friendly & welcoming atmosphere. There are so many Japanese touches everywhere for those eating inside at their limited seating & those ordering to go. The selection was simple - mostly Japanese rice balls with various types of fillings for everyone to find something you'd like. I highly recommend the spicy tuna if you can handle some spice, but two onigiri are just right to be filling for a simple lunch. I can't wait to stop by for some more rice balls the next time I'm in the area!“

“I enjoyed the show by Chef Leo and the staff was courteous and professional and most of all the food was awesome“

“I just moved into this area & I love the entire shopping center the family that Own this are very friendly and patient .. everything is fresh the smoothies and the ramen and sushi are my favorite good portion size for the price ! Only thing I wish is their hours where earlier but I’ll wait because it’s just that good“

“Kabuto’s is my favorite restaurant! But, my last experience was very disappointing. Part of the experience is to watch the show. But because there was a couple at the other end of the table (not with us), who brought babies with them, they did absolutely nothing. No fire, no volcano, absolutely nothing. Apparently they had asked the waitress if “the cook” could be quiet. I feel in this case, either don’t bring the infants, or sit alone at a table. This was not fair to the other customers. It was our 35th anniversary and I feel like we missed out on our experience.“

“We came here on an ad in Reach magazine, and I'm so glad we did. We've been twice, two different days of the week, different times of the day. The service is stellar, the staff is so nice. The rolls are exactly the right size. But what really sells this restaurant is the environment. The music is low but present, the seating is comfortable, and the overall "vibe" feels inviting.

The food, without a doubt, is fantastic. While we haven't done hibachi, if it's as good as the sushi, I will have to try it soon.

Kid-friendliness: Small kids menu but very standard“

“Pretty standard American Chinese spot,
Same menu, etc.
Food quality very decent, serving sizes are good, the chicken sticks were a lil small for 6.25, but I’m fat so it’s for the best.

The hostess was super nice and cute

Real plates

Not the worst place to dine-in.“

“Great place to eat! So many choices and something for everyone.“
