Kabuki Restaurant

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 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!!! 😃😃😃

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.

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.
