Met up with Lady Meatballfor lunch at Kabuki for some lovely Japanese. We had a reservation, which assured us a good seat in the back by the window, but we were surprised how empty the restaurant was – I counted only eight other patrons at 12:30 pm on a Friday.We began with a couple Sapporo beers ($9 each), then ordered the Sashimi Bento Box ($25), Teriyaki Beef Bento Box ($22) and an order of Karaage Chicken ($15).The miso soup (from the bento boxes) was served first, followed by the Karaage Chicken, which was served with togarashi (chili powder) and Japanese mayonaise. For $15, the serving of chicken was quite small, but it was good and rated 3-3.5.The Sashimi Bento Box included Kingfish, Yellowfin Tuna and Atlantic Salmon, served with pickled ginger, wasabi, soy, salad, fresh melon and rice. The Sashimi was lovely – the texture was perfect and was almost buttery. The Sashimi rated 4.5.The Teriyaki Beef Bento Box included grain fed beef with a thick, rich teriyaki sauce, salad, fresh melon and rice. The beef was delicious – I love their teriyaki sauce – but there was only six bites and I was left wanting more and when I finished everything in my box I was still quite hungry (even after eating most of the Karaage – there were only six bites of Karaage as well). The Teriyaki Beef rated 4.Very good service and wonderful food, but we spent $80 and left feeling a bit peckish (at least I was). Fortunately, just ouside the back door is Kabuki2Go!
Look I’m easily entertained and a sucker for mindless teppanyaki fun so have been coming here for work lunches on and off for years. Less banal corporate talk; more distraction in the theatre! Current lunch specials are teriyaki chicken/salmon or okinomiyaki sets for less than 20 bucks, which include miso soup, salad, steamed rice, a vino/beer and fruit. Bargwahn! The okinomiyaki is my fav with vego, prawn or pork options (they’re all good). The non-special prices however make my eyes water.Today no-one at our table wore a raw egg. It was a good day. Flame on.
The food was very nice (ordered pork gyoza and then the salmon for main) but the service was poor for the a la carte tables. Had to ask twice for water, and twice for soy sauce and our table was cleared with no offering of dessert.
Went there for a date night, it’s passable but I wish they didn’t rush through the service, our chef was clearly in a rush and our meal was done within 30 minutes. Food was ok overall, i think there could’ve been an improvement if they took the time to cook our meal and season food properly. Portion sizes were small, if you’re after a good atmosphere or entertaining guests from outer town then yes, this is a place to go.
AVOID, AVOID & AVOID !!!Food is average and I know a lot of people went there is just for the fun/entertaining part. But I don’t like the way they throwing food at you, not fun at all and is absolute disgrace.Our teppanyaki chef (Michelle) is not a Japanese, actually I can’t see any Japanese chef there. So if you want to have authentic Japanese food cooked by a Japanese chef, go elsewhere. She was also poorly trained, in the first round of the show, she handed out some paper aprons to us before throwing some raw eggs. Unfortunately the eggs hit my dress and my hair, not happy but fine, at least I had my apron and this what I was expected. After cleaning up, I took off my apron (got cracked eggs and yolks) to show I am not interested in this anymore. Then the second round start, I wasn’t expected that she would be throwing food at me so I was eating the food and out of sudden, I got hit by omelette. Can you imagine how hot the omelette is straight from the grill? Can’t you see your customer doesn’t have apron or any sort of protections? Did you ever try to give her some indications? My right arm and thigh got BURNED, worst of all, NO APOLOGIES what’s so ever. If this was not with a group of my colleagues, I would walk out of this restaurant straight away. Will NEVER go back.
The most ordinary Japanese food I’ve eaten for a long time. The service wasn’t terrible but it was also very ordinary. Don’t waste your time going here.
Great night out! We loved the food and of course the entertainment. Our meals were delicious, we particularly enjoyed the wagyu steak – so tender and full of flavour! Food is on the more expensive side but definitely worth it.Amazing staff – all credit to them!!
