Walking into Kabuki Japanese Restaurant located in the Bella Terra not too far from school, I was sorely disappointed to find the hostess was not at her station and had to wait to be seated though there was no line..
I politely waited, but I have been there three various times and whether busy or slow the hosts aren’t very attentive.
The atmosphere was cool and contemporary, truly a Japanese feel.
As I was being seated, I was not reassured that the server would be there shortly, and he was not. We waited 20 minutes before he even came to take our order.
Even though the service was not up to par, the atmosphere was cool and the food was good.
The Gold Rush and the Shrimp Tempura rolls were quite delicious. The crunchy taste of the fried, hot, California roll with the eel sauce, the different flavors mixing well to taste divinely, the Gold Rush roll was quite a rush for the taste-buds. The Shrimp Tempura roll was a complementary delicacy; the fried shrimp was a tasteful addition to the California roll.
Overall, if you have a need for sushi at school and you are low on gas, then Kabuki is your place, but I’m confident there are better restaurants who serve up sushi just was delicious, if not better, that will make your visit more pleasant. Don’t think twice to try somewhere else.
I have to disagree with this article. I have dined at this restuarant since 2007, and I have been going regularly since then. I have gotten fond of the food and service that Kabuki has provided throughout the years. I love their food and environment. I have never gotten a bad vibe from any of the servers or hostesses. I always get greeted at the front by the hostess, always presenting herself with a smile and laugh. I do understand that they do sometimes get busy and cannot care to my every needs, but they are always attentive. Maybe you should be more understanding and give Kabuki another chance.
I agree with this article, lately I’ve been going there a lot. In the last 30 days I’ve been there at least 5 times. The waiters were at regular speed half of the visits, the other half they were taking their time. My girlfriend dined their with her brother and they didn’t really have a waiter for her. They said that one particular person was supposed to be her waiter but she rarely revealed herself at the table. While another waiter took care of her table very very very slowly. Service there is sluggish. I am generally a patient guy, but then it can get to my nerves when I get repetitive service like this at Kabuki’s.
