Food was good, service slow tonight. Not sure why it's not busy. Waitress Ericka was good. Food hot and quick. Management needs to be more attentive. Dirty tables since we sat down and still left that way when we got up to leave. Place is dusty right where we sat. read more

Kabuki Japanese Restaurant - Dust right along edge where we sat. Not appealing... - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cerritos, California

It is less than average. Interior is well designed I noticed the prices are reasonable considering the atmosphere. However at the end of the day, food needs to taste good and employees who expect tips need to actually provide service. kabuki fails at both. I have visited three other locations beside here and the issues are same. Severs are rude sushi is not fresh. To. KABUKI Inc. Stop wasting money on salaries for store managers and head chefs They are stealing a paycheck read more

Kabuki in Cerritos is one of those spots that just always hits. When I come here, I already know I'm going to have good food, good service, and a good time with whoever I'm with. Whenever I can, I like sitting at the bar. It's usually faster for ordering rolls, and sometimes the sushi chefs will surprise you with an off-the-menu roll or a little sample, which makes the experience even better. This time we came for a birthday lunch with my compadre and got there during their lunch happy hour. Perfect timing -- you save almost $5 on some appetizers, rolls, and even beers, which definitely adds up. The lunch crew took great care of us, and the whole vibe was just easy and welcoming. The sushi here is always fresh and consistent, which is why we keep coming back. There are a lot of places to eat in this area, but if you're looking for a reliable sushi spot with solid appetizers and extras, this is a safe bet. Parking is easy, and if you end up too full, you can walk it off at Target nearby. Win-win. read more

I left the restaurant and 20 min later Im searching for a public bathroom my stomach is upset. I had the dynamite roll. Didn't eat it all, the crab had so much of a cream mixed in it. It was terrible. So yes, Im here at Sprouts for an emergency bathroom run read more

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY $15 Birthday Month promo for Rewards members Kabuki's Birthday Month promo is one of the birthday month promos I look forward to most, each time I'm lucky enough to experience another August roll around. Debating on the Truffle Tuna Nachos, udon or ramen, the hot weather wanted something cool, thus Kabuki's tried & true sushi rolls. Yellowtail roll- The sushi chef was quite generous with the cuts of yellowtail. Fresh! Spicy Tuna roll- The Spicy Tuna roll had a good kick of heat, almost too much, as my palate needed a drink of water to alleviate the numbing of my tastebuds. Service was great. Sitting at the bar, it's always fun interacting with the sushi chef. The wait was nominal. Parking can be difficult to find, especially during peak hours. Kabuki is located in-between El Rocoto & Mattress Firm. Birthday cheer, year to year. Kabuki satisfies my sushi cravings, and I'm always satisfied upon redeeming my promo. Already looking forward to next year. read more

In town and was looking for a spot for a late dinner. Decided to check this place out as we were interested in the late nite happy hour! So glad we did as this place did not disappoint! The food was fresh and very good! The krab salad was da bomb! It was loaded with imitation crab and the salad dressing was bursting with flavor! Hamachi sushi... a good slice of sashimi over a little rice, which was much appreciated! Mixed tempura came with two pieces of shrimp and lots of vegetables. Shrimp tempura roll was very good as well. This late nite happy hour menu was legit! Off the happy hour menu was the chiMcKing soy garlic chicken wings. Delicious!!!! Our scrumptious meal was accompanied by a cold beer and a fruity refreshing sake sangria! The restaurant was spacious and clean. Our server was pleasant and efficient. Left very satisfied, for sure! read more

It was my first time here with my bf and his friend. We had ordered from the small plates section which included the yellow tail carpaccio, garlic edamame's, clams soaked in sake, 2 orders of the yum yum wings spicy, spicy tuna tempura roll, pork cutlet, and an order of vegetable hibachi rice. Everything was really good and it took awhile for food to come out but service is still good. I'd come back again to try their other menu items read more

I always enjoy the sushi here. The fish is always very fresh, and the other foods aside from sushi are also always superb. I love the deep fried ice cream and tempura from here. The deep fried icecream is not at most other sushi places, but it is delicious with a crunchy exterior, a pound cake like layer also wrapped around the icecream ball. The service is usually good, and the mood is always pleasant. read more

Came in was told about 20 minute wait. Checked in after 30 minutes, was told table would be cleaned as people left. A party left and we were told they would clean it and we would be seated. 30 minutes later still waiting...girl at front keeps saying she's gonna clean the table and never does. I'm sure they're under staffed, but waiting 30 minutes for someone to clear one table is ridiculous. Been waiting for an hour now and it's not even busy. Horrible. read more

My husband and i came here on our very first date together in 2011! He introduced me to a lot of new rolls that i am now addicted to. This place is a nice date night out without being overly fancy. Staff has always been very professional and the food delicious! Presented very beautifully at times too. My husband said they have the best sunkissed roll and i love their bscr. They also are accurate with to-go orders Parking can be tight. Highly recommend! read more

Always love coming here! The place is clean and there is never a wait to be seated. They have a happy hour after 9 on the weekends as well & have some during the week. I have never not liked something here and I've tried a lot, you really can't go wrong with ordering either their signature rolls or teriyaki plates. My favorite roll was the Lava roll- highly recommend! read more

My girlfriend has raved about the Happy Hour deals at Kabuki. I was not disappointed. The $2 beers followed by half priced rolls and appetizers were a delicious treat. It was fairly busy on a Thursday evening but was seated and served quickly. Thank you Kabuki! P.S. Do not sleep on the Firecracker appetizer, SO GOOD! read more

Food is good, service is not good. The worst is we found the chef preparing sushi rolls don't wear gloves.

Today I ordered Miso soup. 4 sips pf soup with one piece of seaweed and 2 small cubes of tofu - for almost $6.50??? Nahhhh. Mixed tempura was a bit of a struggle. I want them to succeed but this was tough. read more

Another epic kabuki failure. I think this is strike 6. Im done with this place. The food is whatever.. id say a 2. The prices are way to high for quality and amount you get.another 2 start rating. But the thing that gets me the most and what would allow me to overlook these things is customer service. But the thing about this place is the customer service is even worse. If I could give a negative rating I would. There is no excuse for bad customer service in my book. I have worked restaurant and hospitality industry for over 25 years and we've always thrived because our customer service is always a priority. So for this latest review... wanted to do a family holiday dinner..cousin was calling around. She said she called kabuki and they took her reservation for 10 people at 4pm. This was a week ago. Come today we show up at the restaurant and they tell us its going to be an hour wait!! I understand delays.. but an hour means you never actually took our reservation. And come to find out..they didnt. They had my cousins name down but said they cant actually "reserve" it because they dont take reservations. Well that should have been made clear when my cousin called unless you purposely wanted to trick you to showing up and staying. Which makes it even worse that you would purposely do this to a group of people especially during the holidays. So this is my final straw. Not only will I never give you my business. I will also tell anyone who mentions this place my experiences and tell them I recommend going elsewhere. Maybe if you get new management and staff that cares I will give it another go. I truly hope I am the only one for some reason having these bad experiences because I would never wish this stress, anguish amd disappointment on anyone. Especially gatherings and celebrations. read more

We like coming here during happy hour. Great prices on foods & drinks. Service is great & the wait to get seated is very minimal.

Excellent place for lunch, came out and enjoyed some real delicious food. The service and atmosphere is excellent. It's seems very busy and possibly a long wait time but it's not. Will definitely return for dinner to enjoy the bar menu. Happy hour and the lunch menu is highly recommended. read more

8/16/24 PERFECT way to end the work week, the best choice for Friday dinner! Again, I am surprised I have not dropped a review for Kabuki. Hubby & I have dined here before. It was a loooonnnggg work week & we both decided to dine out. We threw some options in the air& ended at Kabuki. It was close to 10 pm on a Friday & so many places were closed already. We appreciate that this location closes at 11 pm, and to our surprise, Happy Hour starts late today, it's either 8:30 or 9 pm til closing. Please see photo). For a Friday night, there used to be time when this restaurant was packed with a waitlist. Sign of the times. We were greeted by the hostess & accommodated the request to lower the volume of the background music. My ears were ringing from today's chaos. Our server, Andrea, lovely & friendly server arrived shortly thereafter. I was ordering with my eyes so I opted for the the chicken teriyaki and tempura +2 sushi rolls: avocado roll and yellowtail roll.. Hubby ordered Philadelphia, tina. Hh read more

Kabuki Japanese Restaurant - Teriyaki Beef/Tempura lunch combination. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cerritos, California

It has been awhile that I dined here since I moved. My friends and I came here for happy hour. Place is medium in size, clean, and well-lit. Parking situation is not as bad. Staff were nice, friendly and prompt with their service. We ordered their happy hour: chicken Wings Karage,( a bit overcooked), California roll, mixed tempura, dynamite roll, sesame chicken, fire crackers (spicy tuna with wonton chips), Philadelphia roll, and house salad. Our orders came out promptly. Food tasted great. Sushi rolls were fresh. We had a wonderful time, however, our main server wasn't as keen with checking our party. She' probably only came by once and it wasn't as busy. Overall, not-too-shabby. read more

I got there about 11:30 am. Ordered hot sake and wasabi. Had to go ask for my drink and wasabi. Took 15 minutes to get started. The computer pad at my seat wasn't working I think it was #15? I asked when they brought my sake and wasabi, " took a long time!" Waiter said, "oh yeah I know!" Totally clueless. Hey! Yall go over to Kura on 182nd street! That's how to service and run a restaurant. read more

I've come here twice for a family dinner and it's been quite disappointing each time. While the space looks new and modern, the service isn't great, and it takes 10+ min for a refill on water each time. The last time, the waiter took our cup to refill it and never returned. We had to get the check from a different waiter too. There were maybe 5 tables but it was so hard to find anyone to get help. As for the food, I think the rolls are usually your best bet! I wouldn't get the mixed tempura, the batter was plain and there wasnt any sauce to dip it in. The gyoza was also dripping in oil. We got these rolls: sunkissed roll, truffle yellow tail roll, and the unagi roll, which were pretty good! I would also recommend the sashimi salad and the poke bowl. read more

This is hands down one of the best sushi spots in the surrounding areas! The food taste fresh, services is amazing, good lunch deals, and they stay up to date with cool collabs such as dragon ball and Sanrio! Samuel is also an amazing manager at this location who stays on top of everything. One minute he is serving up killer sushi, the next he is checking on customers. The ambiance is also really well decorated and clean. I definitely will choose this location every time! read more

Great sushi lunch spot! It's always a treat when visiting Kabuki. As starters we always get the spicy garlic edamame and Fire Cracker (spicy tuna & crackers). Our sushi favorites are the Hamachi Sake Roll & Albacore Crunch Roll, the freshness of the raw fish and tanginess of the vinegar rice is always the perfect combination. My son ordered the Beef Yaki Soba kids meal and he really enjoyed it. The customer service is great from the host to the waiter. The decor includes traditional Japanese elements and plenty of seating. read more
