   We’ve always had a great experience at Kabuto. The seasoning and flavor of the food has been inconsistent the past couple of visits with one chef in particular.

   Great friendly service but oftentimes slow due to lack of staffing on a Tuesday night. Good location for family and kids. Our chef was very interactive with the children at our table. The portion size of food was very generous. Everyone at the table had to box up the leftovers. We knew dessert came with our meal but our server just brought our check instead of asking us what we wanted to eat. So I asked her, "doesn't our meal come with a dessert?" She responded that yes but they don't ask the customers. The customers have to ask for the dessert. She said it is because the restaurant serves such a large portion of food that people do not finish their meal and the dessert. They didn't want to waste the dessert. I was really looking forward to the green tea ice cream but they were out of it. I had the vanilla ice cream which was probably some generic version that they got in bulk because it was pretty tasteless. Other notes: * Noise level was pretty loud. * Temperature in the restaurant was extremely warm. * Validated parking was convenient in private lot. * 18% gratuity is automatically added.

   The waitress was not very attentive. Pretty sure we were her only table. Went all dinner and never was asked about a drink refill. The food was ok. The salad and soup was enjoyed the most by the party but the main course was not very flavorful. Definitely good, just lacking that pop.

   We had a very fun time. The chef was very personable and did lots of fun tricks. Made a ton of food. We'll have leftovers for days. And kids ate free, so it was a heck of a value too. Really good happy hour menu, and tons of other options to order if you don't want the hibachi.

    Chef was the best we’ve ever had! He absolutely was fantastic!! The rest of staff was fine but no one was checking in frequently and no one was smiling besides the chef. They all seemed to just be going through the motions for a pay check. The hood/ventilation seems as if it needs cleaning or balancing as it was the first time we’ve really smelled coming out of the restaurant and it was a little smoky even in the bar area. The bar area and some of the glasses did not smell great as well. Please don’t take the constructive criticism as it was a poor experience as it was a very good experience and we will be back again! Food is fantastic!
