I went here last night to celebrate my mother's birthday with her and my fiancee. I've never been before and was quite impressed with the menu selection. I ended up getting the Unagi Bowl and asked that they hold the avocado. My mother ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and my fiancee got a Spicy Ramen bowl. When the food arrived we were less than impressed.
My bowl had the avocados in it that I had asked them to hold. It also took some spices to really make the dish taste better. My fiancee needed a combination of spices and hot sauce to make her ramen close to palatable. Her broth also looked watery and akin to chicken noodle soup. My mom enjoyed her dish, but it's disappointing that the most basic dish was the one they nailed. It's not a terribly expensive place, but for the price, I would have expected more.
There are tons of other places to go for good Japanese cuisine. I can't really recommend this place for anything out of the ordinary. For basic dishes, they are fine. But I probably won't return any time soon.
UPDATE 4/15: Zhen, the floor manager, reached out to me shortly after the review to invite us back to try Kabuki again. We went back today for lunch and the food was much better! I had the salmon teriyaki bowl lunch special and my fiancee got the Kabuki Deluxe lunch special. The presentation of the food was great and Zhen personally came by to ensure our orders were made to our liking.
This experience was far better than our original one and I would be happy to return at any time. Thank you Zhen for helping us out!
