This is the best sushi I have tasted, and seen, so far, in my life - I am not kidding. From Japan to Hawaii to California - Kabuto, in my experience, is the pinnacle in sushi cuisine. Incredible flavor combinations such that you can taste each component, and each plate an artful presentation for the eye.
The food is excellent. The atmosphere is quaint. Not to many tables, so you get extra great service. When I go, the food is so good that I over eat. But every bite is worth taking. Always wondering what my next bite will be. Every time we visit that area, I must go. The chefs take such pride on their work that it shows in every way. Lines are long, but worth going. Part of me wish they had more space, but then it would take away from who they are. I LOVE THIS PLACE.
Came here on Christmas Eve as all the other higher end, top rated sushi restaurants were booked up. This neighborhood favorite did not disappoint! Excellent selection of fresh fish and most importantly excellent service…the waitress was able to suggest many different options for dietary restrictions like vegan, vegetarian, etc.
Holy cow their food is AMAZING. DELICIOUS and high quality. Beautifully garnished. We ate a lot, everything was awesome. Perfect combinations of flavors. The servers and chefs cared a lot about our experience. Service was attentive and thoughtful. One of the best sushi spots we've been to. Outperforms the market for value received. We'll be back ❤️
Exceptional sushi and sashimi, my husband has been coming for years as a local and we came back on our visit for what he promised as one of the best sushi! Everything we had was amazing, the delicate mouthfuls with truffle and gold leaf were incredible. Highly recommend! Wish we weren’t living on the other side of the world.
Easy 5 for us. The restaurant is small and unassuming but don’t let that deter you. We both went for the prix fixe 3 course omakase $98 per person. Everything was done well and was beyond the basics. Wasabi was fresh (not the chopped roots though);miso soup included clam, shrimp head, and veggies; and the fish was all fresh and flavorful. They also included other items like uni, oyster, wagyu, and toro. The level of service here matches the food as well. The staff was very attentive and prompt. They also walk you through the food and how to eat it. While they do have tap to pay, Apple Pay doesn’t seem to be supported so make sure you bring a physical credit card!
Came here with a group of nine people. Had a 7:30p reservation on a Wednesday night and they had a large table ready for us. Staff was very attentive and helpful, both with setting up the table (soy sauce, wasabi, ginger) as we arrived and promptly taking drink orders. Waitress was helpful in selecting rolls and gave good recommendations. Food was served out promptly and one order at a time. This allowed us to both understand what we were eating, and appreciate the high quality flavors. As each new dish arrived, the previous plates were quickly removed. It made for a very enjoyable dining experience. It was a bit of a hike from downtown SF, but worth the trip.
Omakase is the move here. Let the chef take you on a journey. Worth every penny. Look at the toro truffle caviar sushi. Decadent!!!
Simply amazing. Amazing passion for the craft and fresh ingredients. Friendly staff. I would highly recommend coming by. Leagues above any other sushi place I've been.
We absolutely love Kabuto. The fish are always very fresh. Try their specialty sushi. You will love them. We have been going there regularly for the past 15 years and we are happy every time.
Feels like being in Tokyo for a bit. I didn't even know this place existed but it's definitely on my list now. If you appreciate legit sushi, definitely come here.
How this isn't the most popular sushi restaurant in the Bay Area is beyond me. Seriously. This is not your standard fare. Their specialty menu is just that... very special. Everything is a very delicate recipe of pairings that enhance flavor of their incredible cuts of fish. The use very tasteful balances of oils, sauces, pastes, fruit, etc. to create tastes you'd never imagined. Great for date nights where you want to share an experience.
And we've been going to 10 years... always the same constant quality. And the service is phenomenal and friendly.
