Reviews Summary

Kabuki is celebrated for its authentic Japanese cuisine and generous portions, offering great value. Diners praise the friendly service and cozy ambiance, especially the garden seating. However, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality, with specific dishes like tempura and certain meat preparations receiving criticism for texture or flavor balance. While the sushi is generally well-regarded, occasional comments suggest it may not reach the highest international standards.

"The waitress was super nice and quick. The food was tasty and good price and quality ratio. The fish soup was amazing, tempura was not my favourite but the chicken skewers are the best I ever had. They dont have ramens on Mondays so go an other day if you want to try that dish"

Leylea

"Probably the best Japanese food I’ve had in the past 10 months of travelling in Latin America (not that I’ve been chasing after Japanese food everywhere but). The tempura was fresh, the rice was cooked well. The tempura sauce was a bit strong and a little too sweet but honestly I couldn’t have asked for more in this part of the world. Recommend!"

Rosemary Roberts

"We were hopeful. He ordered #22Torikaraage Chicken was pieces of dark meat with gristle, fat, tendons, chicken feathers on skin. It was fried way too long and tasted terrible. Thehuge pile of shredded cabbage had a very small amount of dressing that had a nice flavor. she ordered #17 Tori teriaki don chicken if it was broiled it wasn't for long. Actually felt boiled with scrambled egg. It barely had any flavor. We were really hungry and ate about half of of the white rice with the miso broth that tasted nice. Would not recommend this place if ordering either of these dishes. We were told when ordering no noodles today. We were really bummed and should have tried a different place."
