With astonishing diversity, Kabuki provides a sure crowd-gratifying experience of Japanese-fusion…read more The menu is considerate of classic and innovative rolls, as well as the legitimate vegetarian, gluten-free and awarding kids ones- something to all. Their happy hour is a good price, cocktail is well made and their service is always friendly at their numerous outlets. There is also a small disadvantage of chain energy; although it is polished, it may not be as intimate as a smaller and chef-driven place. The size is good in terms of quality, though, you will not be amazed by innovation. A secure, gratifying option to the groups, families or those who want to eat sushi solely predictably.

We went before a concert. It was a 45 minute wait which is totally understandable. However,…read morebased on the service from checking in with the host to the server to the food, it's clear the wait is so long because they are very dysfunctional. The food came out luke warm and they never brought out my California Rolls until I asked and it was blamed on the chef. My drink was never refilled until I was finished eating. I rarely ever saw the server to even ask. At the end, the manager came around and said she heard I wanted to talk to her and I never asked for a manager. It seems they can't even send a manager to the right table and I'm sure whoever did ask for a manager is even more frustrated. Also, major warning: if you are prone to vertigo, DO NOT go in the women's restroom. Nothing in the room is straight. I wish someone would have warned me because I came out dizzy and nauseous. Not sure I'll return to this location, but might give the Tempe location a try.

So happy to have found a legitimate place for real & fresh sushi in the West Valley!!…read more Previously I would be subject to driving out to Sushi Sen in Scottsdale for sushi/Japanese food. Haru is a nice alternative that is much closer and offers an omakase plate that rivals some of the best sushi you can find in Torrance/LA. The pricing of this omakase is steep at $70 for 8pcs of premium fish plus a toro roll but worthwhile for a special occasion or to get your fix. Pricing on their happy hour seems pretty reasonable as well which is most weekdays until 6pm. Pricing on the rest of the menu is fair but doesnt quite exceed expectations in terms of value for money, especially compared to Sushi Sen. My mom, who is an incredibly tough critic, really enjoyed the soft shell crab tempura and said it wasn't oily or greasy. I have to agree. I enjoyed their "tuna cracker" which is like spicy tuna crispy rice at most other restaurants. I've already been back a second time within the same week and will probably be back again within the month. Highly recommend!

The food is very good. The fresh fish is exactly as it should be- fresh. It didn't blow my mind,…read morethough. The service was fine and met expectations. Let's talk about the prices. Some of their specialty rolls are $50/roll!!! I repeat- FiIFTY American dollars per roll. I don't know that I've seen prices that high even in Scottsdale or Las Vegas. There's no reason that this casual sushi spot should be charging like they're off the coast of Japan in an elite cliffside restaurant. The food is very good, but it's not "I need to finance this meal", $50/roll good. Also.. I asked for the WiFi password (literally titled "Haru Sushi Guest") so I could work on my laptop if needed, just to be told they were not allowed to give out their WiFi password out to anyone (even the staff aren't allowed to use it). Kind of silly to be gatekeeping something as simple as WiFi in the year 2026. I would have loved to make this my new working lunch spot, but between the egregiously high prices and the WiFi witness protection program, I'll be skipping it next time.

Came in craving sushi and left seriously impressed. The fish was incredibly fresh, and everything…read morewe ordered from the rolls to the carpaccio was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients. What made the experience even better was the service. Ken took great care of us the entire time super friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and gave excellent service! He made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. Between the amazing sushi and top-notch service, this place is definitely one I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend!

I have been a Yama Sushi fan for some time and just hadn't had the opportunity to write a review…read more My Yama Sushi journey first began at the Phoenix location. I really enjoy the ambiance and service there, but learned quickly that with larger groups the Peoria location is best for us. One of my kids graduated from college last week and he wanted to celebrate. All he wanted was to have sushi and to celebrate with our relatives who came from out of state. We didn't know if it'd be doable since we were on the other side of the valley. We called, gave them our party size (12) and eta. Low and behold, they were able to get us a reservation. We get on the road to make it to our reservation 0745-0800, they close at 1000pm worse case scenario we get there by 0800 and we still have a good amount of time for the AYCE 90 minute experience. We get there and they have a sign out for the AYCE, last call 0830pm. We go inquire about the last call and our reservation being at 0745. They reassure us that we would still get the full 90 minute experience. At about 0800pm they tell us our table they thought would be available is not available, they say individual parties instead. A guy comes out and tells us that the time frame they gave us was an estimated time, we let him know that was not what were told, but we also got a text confirmation. He tells us, well the Weather is nice. We can accommodate you outside. We agreed. They got the tables all settled and we're about to sit down. The same older man tells us, that the last call is 0830PM, ummm what? They tell us well we can try and get everything in, but the last call is at 0830. You can stay until 0900, what?! I let him know that was not what there hostess had told us, we told him they said we'd still be served and given the 90 Minute experience. He said well I don't know why they told you that, I am going to have to go let them know that is not the case. It's now well past 0800pm and restaurants are closing soon and we are a large party. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. What was supposed to be a special celebration for our son's graduation turned into unnecessary stress and disappointment. We made the reservation based on the information their staff provided and planned accordingly, only to be told something completely different once we arrived. Had we been told upfront that they couldn't honor the full AYCE experience or accommodate our party as promised, we would have made other arrangements. After being loyal customers and recommending this place to family and friends, this experience made it clear that customer service and honoring commitments are not a priority. Unfortunately, that was our last visit For reference, when they sent the last text, we were already onsite.

Had a reservation at 6:45. Didn't sit down until 7:45…read more I ordered mahi mahi and it was dry and not much flavor. Vegetables were very undercooked very hard. Rice was ok. Service was good with attention paid to our drinks. Would not go back. For this price I'd go elsewhere for a good steak dinner. Also as to be expected it was very very loud. I didn't ding the review for that it was all the rest.

Feelin hot, hot, hot! Maybe the best SPICY ramen on this side of town!…read more When I tell you the face the waitress made when I ordered this...she went on to share she hadn't tried it before. Not sure if that's true, but either way, this ramen was HOT! And very, very tasty! Make sure you order the level 3 (Three peppers) if you love spicy and want to bring the heat. Beyond the spice level, I'll share that the lunch prices were quite reasonable for the portion of food. The ramen's nearly large, as you would expect, and the service is very friendly. While I was here, I also grabbed a sweet treat (which was fine, don't get me wrong, but nothing to write home about). If you like spicy ramen, add this to your list!

got spicy tuna and ramen. all tasted pretty good. The Ramen had a good heat to it. Really expensive…read morecompared to other sushi/ramen places also. they also charge a 3.5% "processing" fee, that also got added to my bill, even though I used a debit card, which shouldn't be allowed. It is put on the bill before the card is processed, which also means you pay the processing fee I think if you pay cash. I don't know if you have to "ask" to take it off, but that seemed a bit sketchy. didn't notice until after I paid.

As mentioned before, greeted immediately & very welcoming. No intimidation for new sushi/japanese…read morefood peeps. Very simple menu & selections. We had the sizzling salmon entree. I had the sashimi salad w/ponzu dressing & a bowl of rice. I didnt eat the salad part, just the sashimi w/my hot rice! Next time, tempura udon. I can't ever resist. The bowls aren't as big as what you get in japan, but large for US (Ramen & Udon)

We decided to finally try out this restaurant for some sushi & left saying how amazing everything…read morewas! This restaurant is located in a strip mall attached to some other great spots! The restaurant itself is definitely on the smaller side but they also have outdoor dining as an option. This is what one would call a hidden gem because we were definitely not disappointed as we were walking away. Once you sit down you'll realize that this is a restaurant where you're having several random servers taking care of you. So once we finally decided on our choices everything came out fairly quickly even with there being a half full restaurant. We started with some pork gyozas which is one of my husband's favorites & he was happily pleased... they were very fresh. We also had some of the tempura shrimp & onion which were both perfectly cooked without being greasy. As for the sushi we went with the shrimp tempura roll which was some of the best, the rice was cooked perfect plus everything was balanced just right. Then we also had the spider roll which I just loved because I love soft shell crab... OMG with the avocado & cream cheese, there were zero complaints on my end! Overall everything that we chose was so delicious that we've since been back to grab take away from here when we're craving some fresh sushi!

I decided to stop and give it a try as I saw it on Yelp when searching for bbq buns. Asian food is a top favorite and normally get at a good dim sum place. Ok interior is nice reminds me of maybe a former bbq restaurant. I may have done 5 stars but it chaps my hide when restaurants charge for soda water the same cost of a soda. Note not canned or bottled but same as that from the fountain. Ok to the food good my favor it is the Bao Pork belly bun peanuts and pickled veggies 5 stars. Next is the soup dumplings first time having got full but sampled 3 different ones need to try the others 4 stars. The Bbq pork buns good chunks of pork pork in the middle 3 stars. I'm going to come back and try some of the other food. Fluffy Grandma Recommends
