After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last…read moreyear, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Kabuki Japanese Steak House & Sushi located in Christianberg, Virginia is the perfect example. My friend and I arrived at the restaurant on a beautiful Tuesday early evening at around 5:30pm. The architectural design of the building itself was very impressive. The light blue tiles of the roof stand out as we're not used to seeing blue tiles on a building but mostly red. The majestic entrance to the building anticipated something special inside. After passing by several display cases with Japanese items inside we reached the Host's station where a young lady host warmly greeted us and guided us to the dining area. There we found several teppanyaki tables. These tables are designed with a built-in flat iron griddle where food is cooked in front of the diners. The term "teppanyaki" itself comes from the Japanese words "teppan" (iron plate) and "yaki" (grilled).  The first table was already complete, so we were the first party to be seated at the second table. I sat at the corner so had a perfect view of the chefs of both tables. First our server, another young lady came and took the order of everyone on the table. She then brought us our soup and salad which was a good size and very tasteful. Then the Chef came out and repeated the order in front.of us to make sure who wanted what and how did they wanted cooked. Both my friend and I ordered the Filet Mignon & Scallops. He ordered the steak medium and I medium rare. Then the Chef started doing a show with his cooking instruments and with fire. I invite you to view my photographs and video clips accompanying this review for a better idea of the set-up and food. Even though the food was a bit expensive, I appreciated the fact that it was plentiful. They serve us a good size Filet Mignon and three large size quality Scallops. I've been at cheaper restaurants of this type that the amount of food left us with much to be desired and a bit hungry at the end. But not here. We felt totally satisfied at the end. Our Chef had a warm and welcoming personality and made the dining experience a total pleasure. As the evening went on several other tables were filled, and this was good for it being a Tuesday. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant for its cleanliness and the beauty of its exterior and interior design, creating a suitable environment appropriate to enjoying a wonderful presentation and Japanese meal, provided by a very friendly and talented staff.

What an amazing experience for my daughter's 5th birthday dinner!…read more Firstly, the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the filet and chicken hibachi and my steak was tender, juicy and perfectly medium rare. The chicken was tender and well seasoned! The veggies were cooked to perfection and rice was scrumptious. The choice of 3 dipping sauces were continually offered for refill as well. I ordered a Bikini martini and it was strong and good! Other orders with my table were children's steak and chicken and the portions were large for a kids portion! My sister got the miso soup and hokie roll which she said were both excellent. Our service was EXCELLENT. Chef andrew was personable and made my birthday girl daughter feel so special! He threw the shrimp for us to catch which was a huge hit. His cooking was phenomenal and the show he put on while making the food was superb. Would definitely request him when we visit again! Ambiance was classic hibachi type restaurant, a little loud but to be expected with a hibachi style restaurant! Clean and spacious.

I gave my compliments to the chef and she told me that they take quality especially seriously, particularly in their avocados. The service can be a little slow at points, and my beer arrived at the same time as our food, but honestly, the food is so good that I don't mind. They also have a warehouse in the back that they use for parties on weekends sometimes. Lots of great drink options, both alcoholic and NA. If you go here, I recommend the sushi (obviously), but definitely pick something with avocado and raw fish to get the best experience. I haven't tried any of the deep fried rolls, so I can't speak to that, but all of the raw stuff I have had has been delicious. The hibachi is also outstanding, as is the ramen. Very reasonably priced for the portions and the quality and they have great lunch deals on weekdays.

The price here is an amazing value for what we thought was a really good Japanese meal…read more The sashimi Deluxe was a work of art, and really good variety of sushi. The fried rice that came with the chicken katsu don was great, smokey and flavorful from the hibachi. The unagi don comes in a nice wooden box with a lot of fish and tamago. The chicken katsu was even better than the typical katsu found at Japanese restaurants. Overall I would highly recommend Ocean Samurai, it was a great value and really great food.

I've always been a big fan of eel based dishes, and this one was not the best one I've had. It still tasted good, but it didn't pack as much of a punch as some of the other similar dishes I've had. However, service was good and the pricing was very fair. I didn't get a chance to try the sushi, but it's Blacksburg, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on too much.
