| - The fish is always very fresh and delicious. We usually get good service. Unfortunately, this place is listed as "gluten free friendly" when it is not. Yes, they have gluten-free soy sauce, but on all but one occasion I have had to ask for it multiple times and then go get it myself.
The manager told me that ALL of their sauces, including the mayo, have wheat in them. The only way to get gluten-free sushi here is to get everything with NO sauce. They add wheat-based soy sauce and wheat seasoning to all the sauces, which is totally unnecessary. I mean, mayo does not need wheat or soy sauce added.
Unfortunately, none of the wait staff alerted me to this until I had visited several times! I had ordered various things and asked questions about wheat content, and no one ever told me that the sauces all have wheat in them.
The wait staff and the manager were very reluctant and resistant to the idea of just plopping a little plain mayo or ponzu or other sauce on a plate for me. After I asked over and over, the manager did bring me a little bit of mayo, but I should not have had to ask over and over. It's just mayo, they do not make mayo in-house, and it is a matter of service.
Also, when I asked questions about wheat-free items, our waiter directed me to the vegan menu. He did not understand the difference between vegan and gluten-free: he thought it was the same thing.
I really loved Kabuki and went there about 2-3 times a month before I found out that there was hidden wheat in all the sauces. So, I'm very disappointed.
