Over the years I have eaten at scores of Japanese restaurants. Kabuki is a challenge to review, because it offers good fare (especially its sweet raw shrimp), but its service is routinely bad, and the chefs sometimes confuse orders. I ate at Kabuki perhaps 15 times before I stopped visiting. I was sent wrong orders, given ice cream with freezer frost, left unattended for 45 minutes by my server on one occasion, and overcharged for sake. One of the worst things about Kabuki is that the restaurant only has about three long-playing albums so if you return there, you will hear the same songs played endlessly. Additionally, sometimes the restaurant closes without prior notice, so when you show up for lunch or dinner, the doors are locked.
Pros: Affordable, good range of cut rolls
Cons: Terrible service, order errors, nasty chef, repeatedly playing music
