    Kabuki has a perfect location right on Knoxville's Market Square. That hibachi crispy red snapper was a surprising delight. Simple but hearty. Sashimi triple was good. Good service with a smile from a cheerful waitress. Comfortable booth seating. For Japanese cuisine probably nothing to write home about. However given that this is in Tennessee, it's wonderful to have some sashimi.

    Working in Knoxville and decided to get take out. Ordered the tuna jalapeno poppers, tuna salad, and crab tacos. All were delicious and hit the spot.

    Updated on 12/22/2025, now they have $5.00 deal for selected sushi, starters and drinks. Which I really happy with.

    SHRIMP TEMPURA (6)
    Jose G.

    I didn't want to come here because of the reviews but it was actually good. I got shrimp tempura and the fried chicken poke (by the way you can get something other than the house poke sauce). To drink I got the blueberry lemon drop - pretty delish. I sat at the bar and the girl was super friendly. Very chill spot.

    The food was really good and the service was excellent! We sat outside so we could people watch! It was a great experience all around.

    Chicken bento box

    A nice vibe shop with a bar in the middle. I came with ten others and they were very nice and served us well. The staff did very well accommodating our large group. The miso soup came out first and it is very good. It was my first time having it and it was fantastic. The bento box was great. The rice and chicken were awesome and there was a good portion. The sushi was also very good. The money is where the crab Rangoon is. This was so good and completes the meal. Overall great place and I would recommend on a visit.

    $54 for this is wild. Tofu was hard, sushi was put together my a middle schooler, and noddles tasted like dish soap. I would not recommend this place at all. A bowl of instant ramen would be better than this no joke. Im sad literally nothing good to say about this place

    Menu

    Large open space, rectangular bar in the center. Comfortable booths along the perimeter. Friendly service, big menu, variety of food, and reasonable prices. Food needs improvement though. We ordered 2*Filet mignon Hibachi-tenderloin filet and mushroom grilled with teriyaki sauce: I didn't think it was the real filet mignon because they were a bit hard to chew. I didn't see any mushrooms either. The vegetables were too soft and overcooked. I wouldn't order it again. 3* Bento Shrimp- it was served with Calfornia roll, Crab Rangoon, fried rice: shrimp was overcooked and they tasted a bit tough.

    Chicken Hibachi

    say outside on the patio and it was very nice. Service was okay and very fast. The soup and ginger salad was delicious and we also ordered different sushi rolls that were good. The chicken hibachi was good as well.

    Miso soup
    Rachel R.

    Food was good not great. Service and kitchen were super slow for late afternoon downtown. With better Asian cuisine options near by I wouldn't go again.

    Been here so many times, love it so much! The waitress, Demi, has served me multiple times and…read moreshe's so kind and accommodating and genuinely personable; she makes you wanna come back just from her customer service tbh. Fantastic human being. I love that it's nice and chill in there, relaxing lighting/music and comfy seats (ignore some of the tears in the cushions, it says nothing about the quality of the food!) speaking of food, I tried the new yellow rice brown sugar cakes!!! They're like little fried mochi and they're so yummy!! Approve highly! Anywho.... All good things here. Eat here! You'll love it!

    What a wonderful little Japanese restaurant that serves good sushi. I heard about this place…read morethrough social media suggestions and I'm glad I came. The portions and prices are really good, the fish tastes well stored, presentation is very good - very pretty you can tell they try. I wish the cut of the fish was a little better executed on the sashimi but that's just being picky. The service was top notch, our apps, main course & drinks came quick. With how full the restaurant was I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it was - easily held a conversation. Also, the bathrooms were clean and well kept. The place is a little older in a shopping center behind a gas station but they keep it clean and I appreciate that. This place is a much better value than the other sushi place people rave about and just as good if not better and much higher quality than the all you can eat place. I'll be back at Tangerine for sure.

    We popped in because we wanted a beer before the St. Patrick's Day parade. We ended up staying here…read morea few hours because you could see the parade from the window. It wasn't crowded inside, there are a lot of seating options for big or small groups. Several tables could seat at least 6. Michael was bartending when we went. He did a great job at making us feel like locals! He was attentive even though it was quite busy from people coming in from the parade. The arcade area was pretty cool. Each side had a bar, but only one was open at the time we went. We didn't get food, but it looked like they had some yummy options from what we saw get delivered to other tables. The music was good. The people were friendly as well. This is definitely a place we would return to if we come back in town!

    Give a 4 but was really thinking 3.5 stars just because of the food (I didn't order any drinks and…read moreit was a quick stop in). I saw the ramen on the Yelp pictures and it spoke to me, so I walked in and ordered some. You have to stand in line at the bar to order your food so that took awhile, but the food came out pretty quick. I wasn't too impressed with the ramen, and I've had ramen all over the world. The broth was good, I enjoyed the spicy flavor. However, having tomatoes in the ramen was weird and I didn't enjoy that. My biggest complaint is there was very little meat in the ramen, like 2 small chunks of brisket. It seems like a great place to have drinks and hang out, but as far as the food it was meh to me.

    Large list of on tap beers, really friendly service. Didn't try any, but the ramen looks amazing. We will definitely return.
