Gave this place a try for a quick dinner. The waitress that seated us was super nice and explained the menu properly. We elected for the all you can eat sushi. The place was moderately busy. The selection of the sushi put out on the belt could have been better because they kept putting the same exact stuff. The replenishment on the belt was slow, so we got full from waiting, hence the 4 stars, average experience overall. read more

Pretty good spot for Japanese in Brussels! I'm not a fan of sushi, but I liked the little sushi train that they had instead of a conveyor belt. They also have an all you can eat buffet. However, I just ordered chicken teriyaki from the grill. It was quite good, and came with rice (covered in a fried egg) and a salad. The house sake wasn't bad either. Staff was very friendly. The atmosphere is great, and the place is larger than it looks on the outside and can seat a lot of people, so you never have to worry about the restaurant being full. If there's any downside, it's that the menu prices feel a little higher than they should be. But over all, I enjoyed the meal and wouldn't mind going back some time. read more

Old German proverb: It's not fish nor bird. So it's Kabuki. They have a Shushi train, a Chinese buffet, Teppanyaki/Hibashi style and of the menu. We were just there for some quick Ramen since they were about to close at 2pm. On a Friday. In the middle of Bruxelles. The Ramen were good. Had some sushi on the side, also ok. The overall concept and ambiance turned me off a bit. But hey, there was a German family next to us munch their way through the buffet and they seemed happy. read more

The food is not authentic. Ordered the tempura udon, the beef ramen, the seafood ramen, mixed tuna/salmon sashimi plate, teppanyaki duck, and the agedashi tofu. The agedashi tofu is not even agedashi tofu, it's just normal fried tofu you'd find in any supermarket and they don't use the correct starch if it is even made in house. The tofu also doesn't have close to enough dashi flavor and it's basically closer to water. none of the Ramen was Even presented well all of the seaweed was just thrown on top. The egg was already under the broth when we got it, and there were just sesame seeds sprinkled all around the top of the broth. for the beef Ramen, the beef was unevenly cooked. It was under seasoned, and there was a horrible attempt at whatever sear was on it and in one of the two beef Ramen that my party ordered there was a piece of plastic inside of the broth, the service was probably the best thing about the meal as they refunded one of the beef Ramen when I had showed them the piece of plastic, the ambience is nice. It looks like a lot of Japanese decorations, which I guess draws in people who think they are getting anything related to authentic Japanese food the tuneup part of the sashimi plate that we ordered also had scales on some of the pieces of tuna, which I guess isn't enough to receive a refund because they didn't. read more

Kabuki - fish scale - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brussels, BRU

I had pretty low expectations for Kabuki, since they do all-you-can-eat sushi, a buffet, hibachi, ramen, katsu, and every other kind of Japanese food. I'm used to places specializing, so I didn't expect them to do any of these things well. When I walked into the restaurant, I was extremely shocked by the size. This place is roughly ten times the size of any other restaurant I've visited in Brussels, so I imagine it would be great for large gatherings. They take reservations, and they seated me right away when I arrived. The service was also amazing for Brussels. They asked me what I wanted to drink right around the time I had decided, a drastic change from the usual pace here, where I usually decide and then look around angrily for the next 10-15 minutes trying to get a server to make eye contact with me. Food service was the same story. They came to take our orders fairly quickly, politely answered questions, and the food came out fast. They even brought out all the entrees for our table of six at the same time, even though we ordered many different things that took different amounts of time to cook! Everyone was happy with their food. I had a chirashi bowl that was some of the better sushi I've had in Brussels. Others ordered ramen and katsu, and everyone liked their food. I would definitely go back, particularly if I were looking for a place for a group. read more

This is a good place for the all-you-can-eat sushi noon buffet with a nice sushi conveyor (three trains in fact). The main value proposition of the Kabuki resides in the possibility of eating plenty of good sushi for a flat fee. Because of the popularity of the formula, you are sure that the sushi are "fresh". Expect to be squeezed while sitting and don't count on diligent service. Kabuki is a (Chinese) factory so let's not be too demanding. The warm buffet is an acceptable alternative if there is no more place at the sushi buffet. Sushi are also available but the range is more limited. Its higher price makes it less attractive compared to the sushi formula. Refrain from choosing something else than a buffet formula. It's not worth it. read more

Kabuki - Sushi conveyor. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Love the atmosphere and location! The concept of the sushi conveyor belt and the way the restaurant designed it is creative and eye catching. But having been there now three times, I found that there was not so much variety in terms of sushi on the belt. It's always the same 6 kinds of sushi that they rotate. In addition to that, what I really came to dislike is the amount of fried food there was on the sushi belt. Like a lot of it. I was literally sitting 10 to 15 mins waiting for something new other than fried chicken nuggets and fried shrimp. Maybe my expectations were a little high since I paid 15 euros for the buffet (drinks not included...which were also quite pricy). The service is okay if you don't look at the waiters and waitresses: they looked miserable. Maybe I've just had bad luck every time I went there for lunch. But this time it will certainly will be the last time. read more

Wife and I went to Kabuki to mow down on their all-you-can-eat sushi train. That's right, unlike your typical conveyor belt sushi joints, Kubuki's is actually on a little train. I did enjoy the fact that there are actually two trains that travel in opposite directions, so no matter where you sit you have an opportunity to get in on the good stuff...which leads me to the food. Marketed all-you-can-eat SUSHI, you'll be a bit annoyed by the fact that well over half the dishes on the sushi train are, well, not sushi. There's dumplings, both steamed and fried; meat skewers, squid rings, greens, fried rice balls, fried potato balls, ramen wrapped and fried shrimp, breaded shrimp, noodles, and other things I'm not sure how to describe. The sushi that does go around is pretty uninspired, bland rolls. There's nothing special about any of them. After well over a hour into service, we did see what appeared to be an avocado roll, but it looked pretty sad. There's also miso soup included, but you have to ask for it. If the couple next to us hadn't, we'd have never known. There's also sashimi advertised, which was nothing more than a couple small salmon slices. It's easily the best thing on the train, so when you see it grab it before they don't make any again for an hour. Last, and maybe least, is their "ice cream." Advertised on the menu as including ice cream, the dessert train, when it rolls though, is nothing more than some fruit, a mini crepe with a little French flag in it, and frozen cream puffs. Sure, they're okay, but it isn't really "ice cream," like advertised. All in all the sushi train at Kabuki was just so so. Don't think I'd go back. read more

Kabuki - All you can eat sushi train - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brussels, BRU

It's a good address for sushis ! It's also a fun experience, with the little train tha passes in front of you, coming directly from the kitchen loaded with fresh sushis, makis, tempuras etc. You have the choice between two formulas : the unlimited one in front of the little train (then you'd better not be more than 4 people if you wish to be able to talk a bit, as you are sitting next to each other facing the train), or the "à la carte" menu, sitting at regular tables. I took once sushis as take aways around Christmas time 2014 and I have to say they were only very mediocre and therefore overpriced. I went again in AUgust 2015 for a unlimited formula, and was positively surprised by the quality of the food : fresh and original! I do recommend it in the end... 22€ for unlimited fresh quality sushi is more than acceptable. read more

This japanese restaurant is incredible. It has many different types of meals (menus, little food train, sushis, fish, meat,...) and it really tastes amazing! (The menus are REALLY amazing). Been there 2 times and I have nothing bad to say about this place, they have a great sense of professionalism and you can even sit at tables where the chef cooks your meal right in front of you (wonderful hibachi service). I highly recommend this restaurant and I'm sure you will have a good time there! read more

Kabuki - Grilled salmon with sautéed vegetables - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brussels, BRU

How to define Kabuki in two words? Tourist trap! You could also call it a glorified and bigger version of Anata. It's really not good and should be avoided at all cost unless you want to wear a cheap tourist kimono and have a Chinese version of Japanese food. read more

The sushi was good, but it definitely was a tourist crowd. And very pricey for drinks. But for dinner it was not the worst place we could've gone to read more

I base my review on the sushi train only - "conveyeur" not much choice for a lunchtime 14.90 euros sushi train, simple maki on offer and quite nice satay things but the tempura selection was absolutely disgusting...soggy, heavy and not even sure what was inside type tempura - also the spring rolls, mini spring rolls and similar that they use for the buffet are just not nice. The sushi was OK. The service was awful - I was even told not to put my empty dish on the conveyer belt as if I'd never dined in such a place, then they clear up crashing around you and leaning over you with huge school cantine carts in the middle of your meal. All in all disappointing - don't bother if you are a sushi lover! read more

Even though the setup is touristic, almost industrial, the food was good value for money. Would have given them 4 stars, but they forgot our dessert and only brought it to the table after us asking 4(!) times for it. We had the Evasion menu and it was well worth the price. read more

Teppanyaki and a la carte udon/unagi box is good. Just don't expect real japanese service. read more

See all

The hibachi service was amazing, and all the waiters were kind and friendly. Also loved the dessert aesthetics! Strongly recommend the chicken and beef hibachi, along with the Fujiyama dessert. read more

Every time I go the food is wonderful. I think people that give this place a bad review must dine in Japan on a regular bases!

It's hard to find a decent sushi place in Brussels I believe. Kabuki attempts to do so with its sushi conveyor belt and fancy-ness, but the overall quality is not up to par. read more

Don't go here. The service is bad (forgetting orders, egg not well done, etc) and the food is not authentic Japanese. However, the place and presentation of food looks nice. If you really want to go here I would suggest the buffet during lunch time because you can serve yourself. read more

The whole family was impressed with the variety of sushi, live performance hibachi, giant bowls of ramen, desserts and more. My kids ate until they were stuffed and then asked to go back tomorrow. read more

A good value Japanese restaurant (especially the weekday Bento Box offers). The service is a bit slack - why can't restaurants learn to assign one waiter per table? I was served by at least four different people and it wasn't even busy. The sushi and sashimi were good, the miso was overly salty, the grilled dumplings were slightly disapointing. Overall not bad for a weekday meal but not anything amazing. (PS The highlight is the train pulling the conveyer round) read more

I decided to go there with friends today, but we left the restaurant after five minutes because our waitress was just RUDE. I have rarely felt so unwelcome in a restaurant, incomprehensible! read more

Mediocre at best, does not really have the feel of japanese place, and the sushi was not of very high quality. Nice location is perhaps the best asset this place has. read more

I found some wire in my sushi while chewing it! I was at the restaurant with my boyfriend. We wanted to have a nice evening, but obviously we didn't feel like eating after we had discovered the wire in my food. I didn't have to pay for my sushi, however, they charged my partner the full price. It is not surprising that he had lost his appetite because of this incident! To sum up, don't go there! read more

Not horrible but definitely not good sushi. We didn't have anything else so I cannot comment on those. I would definitely not go back there for sushi. read more

good for the as much as you can eat buffet of sushi, but that's it... Anata is better and as cheap !

This was good for what it is ... Fast food sushi. It was fresh and clean. There was no wait, and not expensive for sushi.

Had lunch at this Kabuki for the first time. The service was fast and our servers were pleasant. The food was ok, not as good and fresh-looking rolls and sushi as the one in Las Vegas. What bothered me was a female server walking near the kitchen area with a tray of mochi balls and her long frizzy hair was all over touching the food. I mentioned it to our server expecting he will alert the manager and maybe take out the tray of mochi out of service but he just gave me a head shake and a shoulder shrug. Then on our way out, there was a female server squat-sitting at the corner of the main entrance/exit door smoking a cigarette while she was scrolling through her pink cellphone while it was charging at an outlet. Mind you, the establishment is supposed to be smoke-free and her cigarette smoke is what the customers first inhale and see as they enter the restaurant. In retrospect, I should have taken a picture of her and the long-haired server. We will think twice about going back here as it is hard to forget and forgive what we just witnessed. Good luck and don't order any mochi balls! read more
