Favorite Japanese restaurant in town! I order the sashimi sampler every time and it’s always fresh! Katsudon and Katsu Curry are both great and big portion, but Unagi Don is not my type. Japanese style fried chicken is super salty, which I don’t like.
Have been here for few times, love how big the rolls are and how fresh the seafoods are!! Great choice and nice decorations! Always so busy and might need to wait some time, better to have more seats:)
Didn't hate it but I've had better. Dumplings were amazing. Sushi sucked and was over the top, in a bad way. Pieces were entirely too big and flavor was not complimentary. The Creme Brulee was overtly sweet and paired with a chocolate mouse which again, did not go well together. For over a Benjamin, I expected better. Reduce your roll sizes to bite size and reduce the price.
Excellent vegetarian sushi options! Delicious and great service. I highly recommend if you are looking for good veggie rolls.
Something is a little off about the food here. Fish is cut too thick, the sushi has too much rice and it’s warmer, mushier, and less seasoned for sushi. lots of Americanized things like cream cheese rolls. Doesn’t feel like an authentic Japanese sushiya but the prices do. Nigiri is a bad deal compared to how much fish you get in certain rolls for the same price. It’s good but something isn’t quite right.
What a let down. The service was slow. The sushi was falling apart. My girlfriend got shrimp tempura roll and it was cold. Our dumplings were soggy and legitimately tasted bad. I wouldn't eat here again if it were free.
Woof. Oh, boy. This poor place has gone downhill, possibly since the pandemic. They’re so focused on their carry out that they have horrific table service when you dine in. The last time we came here we waited an hour and fifteen minutes to get food after we were seated. totally starving when it finally came out.this time, they took 20 minutes longer to prep a table than they said and when we tried to use an online egift card to check out they had no way to submit the number without borrowing my wife’s phone in order to use the internet takeout order system. just wild.while our phone was in the managers hands she asked us to sit down because our standing there waiting for her to ring up her check was “making her anxious”.There’s plenty of wonderful places to eat in cville. life’s too short to bother with this one.
This is an odd sushi place with great service and very weirdly cut chanclas of fish and rolls made with tons of rice. My sashimi platter ($40) had tons of five types of fish but they were giant chunks and had to be cut (with difficulty because I did not have a decent knife). On top of the fish were a stack of flowers! Apps were also pretty heavy handed on the size and oil. Tempura cauliflower was heavy and doused with a sweet sauce. Crab croquettes were HUGE and had good flavor just should have been bite sized. Not sure what is going on in this venerable place but the owner should stop by....
We had a long wait and didn't know what was going on. Once seated service was good but slow. The sushi was way to over priced for the quality. I might come back one more time to try some other special rolls but I was pretty disappointed after my first visit. Was really disappointed by the eel room in particular.
WORST COSTUMER SERVICE EVER!!! We gave them yet another chance hoping things might be different- but NO. Kabuto is closed on Sunday's, otherwise I would have never given these people the satisfaction of making a profit. It is beyond anything I have ever experienced. The fact that they are still in business is completely SHOCKING. I have never been spoken to in this way by anyone that depends on customers for their livelyhood. I will NEVER again set foot inside their doors. The rudest most callous staff. Should not be aloud around other humans. Not very Zen. Might be a better name
