Kabuki Japanese - Irvine

The food is outstanding, and the customer service is top-notch. I've eaten in and ordered takeout, and my food has always been ready on time. Some people, especially in this fast-paced world of fast food and instant deliveries, seem to overlook that preparing fresh meals takes a bit longer. The staff is consistently friendly, and as a regular customer, I've found that they are always happy to customize a dish to suit my preferences.

This restaurant is a fantastic spot located right across from the Edwards movie theater at The Spectrum of Irvine. It was pretty busy in the entertainment center, but luckily at 5:30 on a Friday, we were able to get a table for six without any issues. We ordered quite a few dishes before happy hour ended (from 3-6 PM, Monday to Friday), and I highly recommend the sweet sake. We tried all the rolls, beer, noodles, sweet potato fries, and teriyaki chicken, and everything was amazing! The prices are reasonable even without happy hour, and we all left feeling very satisfied. The meal was delicious, and the service from Claire was outstanding. I will definitely be returning! If you’re in the area and craving sushi, this is the place to go!

We dined at Kabuki before heading to the Frankie Quinones (Cholo Fit) show at the Improv on Saturday night. The Spectrum was crowded, so we were looking for something convenient for dinner. Although I usually hesitate to try chain Japanese (sushi) restaurants, I ended up having a fantastic experience! The restaurant was bustling, but we managed to find seats at the sushi bar, which was a delightful surprise on October 5, 2019. Our sushi chefs, Harry, Joon, and the rest of the team were fantastic. They were not only speedy but also maintained a fun atmosphere despite the busy environment! Our waiter also deserves a shout-out for the kitchen food; the Garlic Steak dinner was excellent. The sushi was incredibly fresh!

Came here for a business lunch on a Monday afternoon. It was not very busy but like I said, Monday at 2pm LOL Even still the staff was high energy and the chefs both had sake bombs with us : So it was a good time! We ordered all rolls and they were great! Lots of flavor and plenty of fish! Cilantro Albacore Roll, a salmon roll with tempura shrimp inside, something wonderful the chef improvised and a couple of other rolls too. It just kept coming so fast I was eating in a blur : The restaurant is nice and clean. The restroom could be a little cleaner but it's definitely acceptable. It's in the Irvine Spectrum so parking is not really an issue. All the staff were friendly and attentive, but I need to give a special shout out to the chefs at the bar. They were a lot of fun and made some great custom rolls for us.

Alrighty so the food is good but the people who work here are better!! Harry and Martin are so much fun to be around. Came in for HH left after a full fledge dinner. Fantastic cucumber salad, the Inari was DELISH thanks to Harry being creative with my veggie options.
