Sunday dinner was kinda busy. Pretty full and only a couple of servers. They did apologize for the long wait. But food came out really good!
Better to go on a week day rather than the weekend.

Good food. No real complaints there. But they really struggle with speed of service. No fault to the waiters or cook staff, it all falls down to management really keeping a skeleton crew and the poor staff struggle to keep up with a full restaurant. They are kind and often apologetic. 3 stars for the food and nice staff. But a loss of 2 stars due to mismanagement of operations.
Expect long waits at dinner mostly. Lunch I find rarely find too busy

Kabuki Japanese Restaurant offers good, consistent Japanese food in a comfortable setting. The sushi is fresh, portions are generous, and the menu has a nice variety.
Service is generally friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. It’s a reliable choice for casual Japanese dining and a place I would return to.

We had a visiting priest from Ghana so we took him to Kabuki because he’s never had Asian/Japanese food before. He reeeeally enjoyed the food and our server Marinela (Mary) was amazing. Super funny and the service was quick. Always good at Kabuki.

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 🙂

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 other Old 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. 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. We’re vegetarians and there was also a little bit of a disappointment that some vegetarian items on their website menu didn’t seem to be present on the in-store menu. Still, we did have choices and our server let us know about one item that wasn’t 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. That’s part of what one can hope from food…that it’ll 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.
We’ll probably try other places before we come back, but we’d comeback.

We love the happy hour here, but we went on Valentine’s Day only to find out they weren’t honoring their happy hour pricing because of the “holiday” despite their website saying it is everyday 3pm to close.

First time at Kabuki and will return. Had great lunch specials. I had the teriyaki beef and chicken and it was excellent. $16 with soup, salad and rice. Also had some rolls that were excellent as well. Our server was Ilene and if you have her you’ll be so lucky. She was excellent and took extremely good care of us. If you’re looking for great food, a comfortable environment and excellent service, this is the place!

We usually go to the Burbank location and always have a good experience, but this was the second time we went to the Valencia location, and it will definitely be our last. My husband suddenly stopped eating and started acting strange near the end of our meal. Later, he told me he had found a perfectly cut fingernail in his sushi. It honestly looked like someone had been cutting their nails in the middle of the kitchen. He didn’t say anything right away because we were almost done eating and I was still chewing, so there wasn’t much he could do at that moment. Afterward, he went to the manager to let them know, but the manager didn’t seem to care or think it was a big deal.
We actually paid the full bill and even tipped, which I still can’t believe given what happened. This was completely unacceptable, and we will never go back to this restaurant again.
