Reviews for Kabuki Japanese Restaurant in Valencia, CA

Delicious food, disappointing service! NOTE FOR OWNER: Your wait staff is asleep at the wheel. Not only were we frustrated... waiting for condiments/drinks/attention, so were the surrounding tables. Restaurant occupancy was 30% at best tonight, so itwasn't a staffing issue. We paid $200 for 3 people, and the lack of attention and energy we received from the staff was abuzz-kill. You want your place known for being a fun night out, and this was a miss. Read more

We have been dining at Kabuki Valencia since it opened here several years ago. We love the food. We especially want to recognize... one of your servers: Irene is a dedicated waitress whose work is exceptional and excellent demonstrating initiative, integrityand industry. Irene is very sensitive to the needs of her guests. She is bright, articulate and communicative. She is one ofthose rare individuals in whom a number of elements have come together to form a truly outstanding personality. I am happy torecommend Kabuki and Irene to anyone wishing a wonderful dining experience. Read more

We used to enjoy coming here for dinner and happy hour, it used to be our favorite sushi place, but ever since the new... management over all quality and service has diminished substantially. Atmosphere is filthy dirty with sticky table andseats…glasses had food stains..yuck! Our server’s name was Chauntea she was just plain RUDE! The dinner entree tastedhorrible and the fish is definitely not FRESH at all. We will not be returning. Read more

It was pretty good. Service was on point and very very nice people work there. Our waitress asked us a couple times if we wanted... refills , even though we said no she still made it a point every now and then to ask us if we were sure we didn't need moredrinks, I thought that was nice, nobody ever does that. The Tonkotsu Ramen was ok the pork chatsu had grill marks which wasdifferent for me but it was good. But the basic shrimp roll was actually really good everything about that little roll wasperfect the rice shrimp cucumber tasted fresh the teriyaki chicken and tempura plate was huge and really good, chicken was allwhite meat not dry at all cooked perfectly. Everything was really good. I would definitely go back to try other dishes. Lastcall to order anything is a half hour before closing which is cool. They seem to make everything fresh is probably why. All inall a good experience with nice employees. They did need some attention in the Mens restroom though no soap no paper towels evenif it was a half hour before closing people still wash their hands Kabuki, especially after eating Sushi with your hands.

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. Read more

We had Valentine's 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 otherOld Fashioned I'd had. It was a blend of Maker's Mark Bourbon with a Japanese Whiskey. I like Maker's Mark but at a "high end"Japanese restaurant that I'm spending a lot of money on a cocktail for, go ahead and please use the nice Japanese Whiskey. Alsothe "Japanese Black Sugar" I was hoping would be a noticeable special ingredient and it was not. That having been said wereally liked what we ordered to eat. We're vegetarians and there was also a little bit of a disappointment that some vegetarianitems on their website menu didn't seem to be present on the in-store menu. Still, we did have choices and our server let usknow about one item that wasn't on the menu, a Crispy Tofu roll which was a vegetarian take on a crab-cake roll. It wasgood. We also liked the "Green Roll." Nicely presented and tasted good too. We also shared the Curry Rice Bowl...I was luckyenough to still have a memory of having curry in Japan and the taste of this definitely reminded me of that experience. That'spart of what one can hope from food...that it'll transport you to another place in your memory. Eating good food luckily can belike traveling. That just about happened here with this curry dish. We'll probably try other places before we come back, butwe'd comeback. Read more
