Kabuki Japanese Restaurant in Valencia

Ordered 2 sesame chicken and onion ring. They were dry and no meat (or carbonated). Tasted like been in a deep fryer all day. We could not eat them. Complained to the waitress and returned the dishes to the waitress to show them to the chef. When asked later the waitress said (the chef said) they are normal. My wife and I almost burst out in tears when we heard it.

Went here for lunch with my parents and had a wonderful time! Our server Katie (I believe) and the manager were lovely! We got the lunch specials (chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, shrimp & veggie tempura), all the lunch specials come with miso soup, salad & rice. HUGE portions for the price! Loved their takoyaki, the sauces were delicious. Lots of cocktails to choose from, the tiki tiki Shinjuku was recommended by Katie and was light and refreshing. California roll was good, tasted fresh. Love that their patio is dog friendly! Would recommend this place to anyone in the Valencia area :)

The service and ambiance were excellent. I appreciated their happy hour deals and the exceptionally friendly customer service. However, the most significant drawback is the food quality; its just average and not worth the full prices. The fried dishes, in particular, were overly oily, as if the batter hadnt been properly chilled before frying. The sushi rolls lacked creativity, mostly offering familiar options with minor variations like extra avocado or different sauces. I strongly recommend that the restaurant explores more inventive sushi options. Why? Because I can find similar dishes elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. While this place has great potential, the menu lacks the passion and creativity needed to stand out. I highly suggest requesting their outstanding wasabi-mayo and other sauces to enhance your meal since their sauces are a highlight.

We had Valentines dinner at Kabuki in Valencia and the experience was good but not great.I had a Kabuki Old Fashioned which on paper looked delicious, Whisky, Japanese black sugar...but in the glass it was no more special or distinctive than any other Old Fashioned Id had. It was a blend of Makers Mark Bourbon with a Japanese Whiskey. I like Makers Mark but at a high end Japanese restaurant that Im spending a lot of money on a cocktail for, go ahead and please use the nice Japanese Whiskey. Also the Japanese Black Sugar I was hoping would be a noticeable special ingredient and it was not.That having been said we really liked what we ordered to eat. Were vegetarians and there was also a little bit of a disappointment that some vegetarian items on their website menu didnt seem to be present on the in-store menu. Still, we did have choices and our server let us know about one item that wasnt on the menu, a Crispy Tofu roll which was a vegetarian take on a crab-cake roll. It was good.We also liked the Green Roll. Nicely presented and tasted good too.We also shared the Curry Rice Bowl...I was lucky enough to still have a memory of having curry in Japan and the taste of this definitely reminded me of that experience. Thats part of what one can hope from food...that itll transport you to another place in your memory. Eating good food luckily can be like traveling. That just about happened here with this curry dish.Well probably try other places before we come back, but wed comeback.

We ordered the dinner sushi combo to split because it came with 10 pieces plus spicy tuna roll as it was a better value than the lunch special. Well, the spicy tuna roll was none like Id ever seen before in all my 30+ years of eating sushi! The filling was a salmon colored mush instead of dark red semi chunky! Yuck! When I questioned this, the server was quite condescending to me. I felt like telling him to go to any other place in town or even Sprouts! and see that its never like this! I think what they did was mix the creamy sauce into the tuna instead of drizzleing on top. I personally dont like sauce. Also one of the 10 pieces of sushi was a slice of avocado on rice. Avocado is NOT fish. A better value and quality would be getting supermarket take out than this place.

Huge selection of tasty cooked items such as their tempura and chicken wing karaage. Sushi is pretty good. Always fresh, but not a huge selection of rolls. Service is good too.

Extensive menu so a ton of choice in rolls and sushi. Liked every bite and over ate. Only took 1 star off since they were down 1 sushi chef that night so stuff came a bit slower that expected but everything was good.

Great service and food. Took us in as a walk in. Accommodated our menu alteration of dessert. Big fans of the mozzarella on the salmon and shrimp sushi, tempura tacos, salmon caccitouri and the bbq ribs. Also the salad dressing was delicious. Server even asked us if we would like him to make us a drink to go.

The food was good, especially the hamachi, but this restaurant has poorly trained staff, especially for the front counter. Rather than focus completely on being on the phone and preparing the take-out orders, they need to provide service to customers who came into the restaurant. When my party walked in, they didnt greet us but told us to use the monitor to put ourselves on the waiting list. When I had to take my bill up to the counter, after waiting more than 15 minutes for the waiter to come take the credit card, I had to wait until the girls took calls and packed up pick-up orders. I think that this is the fault of the owner, as staff have not been trained properly and dont know what customer service is.

I’m a regular for years and this place is going down. The service takes too long, the waiters don’t come back to see if you needed anything, they leave food orders waiting at the sushi bar as I watched the flies lay on the orders, the quality of the salmon is no longer fresh and I’m always having to ask the waiter to clean off the seats or under the table before seated. I wanted additional items but the waiter took too long to return.So sad! This place use to be good food, good portion size and good service. The only good thing is the happy hour prices.
