The place is old but the prices seem to have gone down from the first time I was there about 5 years ago. The food was already delicious back then but I didn't want to pay the price. However, they now have good food combinations and have kept their senior discounts of 10%. Two of my aunts liked that! The servers seem abrupt when they talk to you but it's the personality of the place. One server asked if we wanted dessert and we said no because we were full but she kept asking. I counted 6-7 times and then again when she came back to get our empty dishes and she said, No to us at leadt 6-7 times again. I don't know what that was all about!!! 😃😃😃
Parking good, food was excellent and staff nice and helpful. Prices were very reasonable. Atmosphere was ok, due to just old interior, needs a lil sprucing up or updating. I used Google maps to reserve seating, worked perfectly. I'll be back.
I used to go here off and on. Just happened to try it yesterday and it was pretty good. I didn't quite remember how it was but I wasn't disappointed. I had the three choice teishoku dinner and it was very reasonably priced. Cheaper than most places. The food quality was very good. The server was pleasant and checked periodically on us. The dinner came a little earlier than average and was hot and ready to eat. The food quality was very good and the quantity was decent. Need more rice, just ask, no extra charge. The sashimi was thinner than normal but you got more pieces, like five or six. The mochiko chicken was delicious, teriyaki beef same, shrimp and vegetable tempura nice. I wasn't disappointed. There is parking in the area but I work nearby and walked to the location so I didn't need to park my car. The restaurant was relatively full but there were seats still available. While the restaurant is older the dining area was still nice and decently clean.
One of the Top three restaurant to avoid. DO not waist $10 for finger size salmon, feet smell chicken, and 20000mg of sodium. This restaurant just do not know how to cook. I would like to suggest to them to buy the bento from 7 eleven and resell it.
Update Oct 2019: I returned,, this time for some alone time, plus parking was plentiful. I was craving sukiyaki but noticed the sukiyaki was meant for 2 or more people. The waitress recommended the beef tofu, which supposedly tasted like sukiyaki. I order that, which arrived with various veggies and long rice. It was ok, but not enough like sukiyaki for my liking. Service was decent, especially from the hostess, who periodically checked on all the patrons.
I got the deep fried flounder, which was a complete meal, with miso soup, tsukemono, rice and dipping sauce. The flounder bones were perfectly crispy. The fillets were ok by themselves, but delicious with the dipping sauce. Our waitress was a very hard worker and never stopped moving the entire time we were there. It's amazing how she tracked every table she serviced. The green tea Ice cream was very smooth and not overly sweet. Perfect ending to the meal. Excellent dinner overall.
The food was your typical local Japanese restaurant flair. I had the three choice teishoku combination (salmon, sashimi, and chicken katsu) which was very good. The service was fast and friendly. We were able to finish dinner in a reasonable amount of time. We had a party of six (with no reservations) and arrived when they were still setting up for dinner and not open yet. They sat us down right away. I would definitely return in the future.
Authentic Japanese food! I had the fish tempura, chicken katsu curry, and shrimp tempura. All were excellent and worth going back for. Also, good customer service and the food was prepared quickly. Overall a great dining experience.
The lady with the blue eye shadow promptly seated us. She's always very friendly and very thorough. They were busy but our waitress did the best she could. My Agedashi tofu was good. Like I remember it. My Teishoku was ok. I was surprised that my butterfish was rather small. Not like I remember.
I tried the Kabuki Kapiolani restaurant for the first time and it was a new experience. The location has a parking lot attached to it which is a good thing because there is not much street parking in the area, don't let the "reserved parking sign" stop you from parking there because it's ok.. The rest rooms are clean, the service was very good, the food delicious. You might want to have a small pre meal before coming because for me the servings were a little small.This location is well worth the visit, your mouth will thank you for the great tastes.
We love coming here. Food is not cheap nor expensive for what you get. Quality food, decent portions and consistent every time we have come here. Service can vary but be prepared to order when they waitress comes to your table and everything will work out. Green tea and ice water is served with meal and combinations are great. We like the three item lunch or dinner. Fried oysters, fried scallops, Saba, misoyaki butterfish, teriyaki chicken or tonkatsu are all great to pair together. Combos served with miso soup and rice. Tuesday and Wednesday kids eat free with each adult meal purchased. Choice of either shrimp tempura (2 pieces), chicken karaage or chicken teriyaki with pasta. Full price for the kids can be purchased any other night at dinner for $4. We love coming here and so do the kids.
