Japanese Steakhouse, Sushi & Ramen with Full Bar Co-owner and master chef Shuichi Kotani has made it his life’s work to create noodles that bring people together. He first experienced soba when he was nineteen years old, whereupon he promptly fell in love with the food as well as the process of creating it. He has since expanded his repertoire to include udon and ramen, always in pursuit of authentic quality. Shuichi doesn’t just make noodles; he puts his soul and energy into the creation process, closing his eyes and relying on the “sight” and instinct of his ten fingertips. He not only sees what he’s making; he also feels, breathes, and savors it, utterly engaged in the present and transient moment.

I really enjoyed my experience here. I stopped by on a weekday and the hibachi area was full. My friend and I decided to go for the Ayce sushi option. For around $35 per person this is the best Ayce deal in the area. I loved the variety of sushi and sashimi options they offered. Some of the other highlighted Asian food items include the soup dumplings, Korean pancake, galbi, and ponzu scallops.
The service here is great. When you arrive there is a QR code where you can order all the food through the link. The servers here brought our food out quickly. I loved the variety here and will definitely be back to try some of their rolls.

Whoever made my beef udon on 3/7/26 at 9pm needs a $5 raise. It has filled my soul in ways nobody can imagine. I will propose to the cook who made my udon when I find out who it is. Thank you for the service by the waitress she was great.

Had a great experience at Kabuto! Came to celebrate my birthday with the family. Made reservations online and was seated right away upon arrival.
The place is clean and the design and atmosphere of the restaurant was top tier. The staff was very friendly.
The Hibachi table is a must! The cooks are entertaining and kept everyone laughing.
Food was great. I was worried as my kids only eat chicken tenders and Mac n cheese but they enjoyed the food and said they would return, which says a lot.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a great overall experience, though I’ve reserved a full 5-star rating until I get the chance to try the hibachi offerings.
That said, the Sushi Bar is a highlight—straightforward, fresh, and delicious. Each dish was beautifully presented, showing clear attention to detail. While I would’ve loved the added touch of watching the chefs in action, especially at the sushi bar, it’s far from a deal breaker. The atmosphere makes up for it with a calm, inviting environment that enhances the dining experience.
Service was attentive and pleasant, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly. From the ambiance to the food, everything felt well-thought-out and worth the visit.
I’m looking forward to returning and trying the hibachi soon—if it matches the quality of the sushi, I’ll be bumping this to a five-star review in no time!

Hand down one of the best hibachi restaurants I’ve ever been to! I went here with a couple family members , and the man making our food was hilarious! The presentation is awesome, and the entertainment is excellent! Wait time was not very long, probably because we reserved a table a couple hours before. There was a lady who would check up on us every 10-15 minutes and see how the food was, or if we needed refills, etc. She might’ve been the manager, but for all I know, get your folks gathered up and come on down here! Get ready to feast!

My friend and I hadn’t seen each other in a while and wanted to enjoy a nice dinner together, and choosing Kabuto last night was the perfect decision. The experience was amazing from start to finish. The Hostess really set the tone of how our experience was going to be. She was so upbeat and seated us timely. The food was incredible—beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious.
What truly made the evening even more special was our waitress, Mya. She was exceptional—attentive without being overwhelming, friendly, and very thoughtful. She checked on us at just the right moments and gave us the space to enjoy our time catching up, which we really appreciated. Her service made us feel relaxed and well taken care of.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we left feeling happy and satisfied. We will definitely be returning and hope to have Mya as our server again!!!

Hands down the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The staff here isn’t just unprofessional—they’re completely incompetent. The three hostesses and the manager were all glued to their phones at the front entrance, ignoring customers and acting like doing their actual job was an inconvenience.
We arrived at 7:00 PM for an 8:00 PM hibachi reservation. While waiting, we sat for some sushi. Instead of doing something simple—like asking us—they decided on their own that we “no longer wanted our reservation” and gave our seats away at 7:49 PM. Before our reservation time. Before we said a single word. Before ANYTHING.
When I confronted the manager, she shrugged it off and said the staff assumed we didn’t want hibachi. Assumed?! That’s their excuse for screwing up a reservation? No accountability, no solution, no professionalism—just blank stares and excuses.
And it wasn’t just us. I watched another group right in front of me go through the exact same thing. They had a reservation, showed up, and still had their seats handed to someone else. This place is a joke.
If you want your reservation respected, if you want basic customer service, if you want staff who actually care—do NOT come here. They’ll waste your time, ruin your night, and couldn’t care less about it.
Never returning. And I’ll make sure everyone I know avoids this place too.

We were celebrating and decided Kabuto would be a good last-minute adventure. We made a reservation, although had to wait 15 minutes for a table (and made good use of our time). Our server, Rosanna, was friendly and attentive, and our chef was energetic and masterful. We enjoyed the delicious food and generous portions (yes, there were leftovers). If you’re looking for a fun place to dine or celebrate, consider Kabuto.

First time in Kabuto and both atmosphere and the food were really good, unfortunately it cannot be said about the service.
We ordered kitchen appetizer, 3 special rolls and one classic roll and waited for quite a while before our order finally showed up. It was the 3 special rolls though, we asked then for the appetizer and classic roll and were informed that there was some problem with ordering system and they didn’t have the missing roll but now put it in. We were half way through the special rolls when the appetizer finally showed up, and shortly afterwards the missing roll.
There were 3 different people checking on us meanwhile, we had to repeat to all of them what was going on…our waitress was very kind but seemed a bit overwhelmed.
We will give it a second try, hopefully the service is better next time.

I came here with my family to celebrate a birthday. We did the hibachi. The service was good, the food was tasty, but I feel our chef lacked a certain showmanship. I haven’t done hibatchi in many years, but I remember the chefs usually being more engaging. We still had a great experience and a delicious meal!
