I took my wife here expecing a typical hibachi grill experience. Well, the food was great and what I expected, but the guy who actually did the cooking for us was very rude and off color. He was making fun of the other guests and basically making them feel like they were stupid. I think he was totally out of... more

The best!

My husband and I used to frequent Kabuto at least once a month during the 3+ years that we were stationed at Cherry Point. We were there so often that the staff started to recognize us and the manager bought us an appetizer! The food is amazing and yes it is a little pricey, but nothing more than you would... more

We went here for my daughters 11th birthday. After spending 6 years in Japan, she was truly missing the cuisine. This place was such a HUGE disappointment. The food was bland, the sushi wasn't even as good as the commissary, and the service was horrible. If you gave me a gift certificate to this establisment, I would NOT return. I... more

I just wanted to compliment this restaurant. We enjoy Japanese Hibachi cooking and this place did not disappoint. Very good food, generous portions, reasonably priced and very nice wait staff and chefs. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food and good entertainment. Prices weren't too bad either. more

I went to Kabuto’s for the first time in five years last Friday night. Although it took a while for the chef to get to our table, the staff was friendly and made sure we had what we needed in the mean time. The atmosphere at Kabuto’s is entertaining. Make sure you take a jacket, however. I usually do not... more

I was reading a couple of these reviews and I wondered if we were going to the same place because I have always enjoyed the experience and food at Kabutos. The sushi is the best that I've had in the surrounding area, the sushi chef makes all of his rolls as good as anything I tried in Japan, the service... more

Over the last two years, I have been at this restaurant 8 or 9 times. The children enjoy the show, so we take them every so often. It is getting a bit old for me though. The food is not the best and the prices are high. If by any chance the Chef burns the eggs( instead of throwing them... more

Just ate at Kubuto's today Sunday Mar 8, 2009 at 4:30pm and the service was good but the food tasted like Diesel. Could be the chef (cook) uses alot of something to make a show using fire and then cooks the food in the same fuel. My shrimp and chicken was not edible with that nasty gasoline taste. I wished... more

I have eaten at Kuboto several times in the past years. I found the food mediocre and the "show" meager compared to other similar establishments serving pseudo Japanese style. Add to this that the management is disrespectful and arrogant makes this "want to be" Japanese restaurant a definite avoid. more

My husband and I enjoy eating at Kabuto's Japanese Steakhouse. This is one of our favorite places. Whether we are enjoying the entertainment of the chef's cooking in front of you (with flames of fire...not as dangerous as it sounds but extremely awesome) or we are just going for a quick dinner at the Sushi Bar, the atmosphere and service... more
