Kabuki Japanese - Irvine

Excellent food and excellent customer service. I have dinned-in and taken food to go, it's been on-time each time. I think that some people, especially in today's fast food and Amazon click culture, forget that fresh food takes a little more time to prepare. The staff is always friendly. I have become a regular, they are always willing to modify a dish based on your needs.

Came here for a business lunch on a Monday afternoon. It was not very busy but like I said, Monday at 2pm LOL Even still the staff was high energy and the chefs both had sake bombs with us : So it was a good time! We ordered all rolls and they were great! Lots of flavor and plenty of fish! Cilantro Albacore Roll, a salmon roll with tempura shrimp inside, something wonderful the chef improvised and a couple of other rolls too. It just kept coming so fast I was eating in a blur : The restaurant is nice and clean. The restroom could be a little cleaner but it's definitely acceptable. It's in the Irvine Spectrum so parking is not really an issue. All the staff were friendly and attentive, but I need to give a special shout out to the chefs at the bar. They were a lot of fun and made some great custom rolls for us.

Alrighty so the food is good but the people who work here are better!! Harry and Martin are so much fun to be around. Came in for HH left after a full fledge dinner. Fantastic cucumber salad, the Inari was DELISH thanks to Harry being creative with my veggie options.

Disappointed. Food: 2/5. Sushi rice was old, sashimi was old, shishito peppers had no flavor, unagi was cold. Not inedible, but definitely not quality for the price paid. Pretty sure my unagi roll was someone's cancelled roll because it came out before anything else. Service: 2/5. We had like three different servers. Each one asked us our order. Only one was friendly. The 2 points go to him. The hostess wasn't cordial at all either. Presentation: 3/5. Not ideal, but not terrible either. Our shishito peppers were clearly spilled over at one point and looked messy but the other dishes were fine. Order of food: 1.5/5. Got the unagi roll first, sashimi salad second, and shishito peppers last. Wtf? Shouldn't the appetizer come first? We got the shishito peppers significantly later than the main dishes as well. Cleanliness: 4/5. Pretty clean! No complaints here.

Such a great place located across the Edwards movie theater at The Spectrum of Irvine. It was pretty busy at the entertainment center but fortunately 530 on a Friday we got in no problem with a table for 6. It was great. Ordered a few many things before happy hour ended (3-6pm) M-F. (Some items not pictured) I recommend the sweet bottle of Sake. We had all the rolls, beer, Noodles, sweet potato fries and some teriyaki chicken and it was all amazing! The prices are fair even without happy hour and we were all so pleased and satisfied. Such a tasty meal with great service from Claire (she was amazing). Will definitely come again! If you are needing a sushi fix in the area, THIS is your spot!
