Just upstairs Westgates fountain area is Kabuki, a spacious treat for Japanese food and sushi. Consistent great food, great prices and great service. Been to Kanuki now before a game and just for fun, parking is easy and free (register for free pn event days and/or get validation) Fresh sushi, huge bar selection and large menu book. Not liking the fake krab, Kabuki lists all thier ingredients on the menu, making it easy to navigate around the krab. Their rolls are always sized nicely, even on happy hour specials. Lots of wasabi and ginger Service is great, plates cleaned away quickly and water refilled constantly. Seating is large and varied, eat outside, booths, tables or sushi bar. Even on quiet days, this restaurant is usually busier than the others you walk past. Draft Ashai and Saporro at great prices. read more

Came in with my partner for late night happy hour on a weekday. Upon walking in, the hostess did not greet us and waited for another staff member to seat us. We sat at the booth closest to the front door - the interior is cute, but looks cheap. The wooden tables are not high end and we were disappointed with this restaurant before we even ordered anything. We ordered miso soup to start - so salty, mushy tofu, did not finish. We ordered two rolls. Both seemed to be a decent serving size, but the pieces were rice heavy. The fish itself seemed.... fishy. Definitely did not taste like real salmon or tuna; we're from a city with fresh seafood, and I'm not surprised that this fish did not taste right. I doubt they get fresh fish flown in and likely use previously frozen items, where you can taste the difference. The wasabi obviously came out of a tube instead of fresh wasabi, another red flag. The only saving grace was their cocktail menu. Come here for drinks and skip the meal, save yourself the disappointment. Based on other reviews, some of their other menu items might make up for the poor sushi, but we will not be returning. read more

We got the beef sukiyaki, ramen, and a roll. Nice interior decor and booths, and they had decent size portions. Couldn't track down our waiter when we wanted to pay and leave though. Overall, it was just okay for me. My partner would probably rate this a star higher than me. read more

Everything was fresh, and full of flavor. From the rich, comforting bowl of ramen to the crisp seaweed salad and beautifully prepared albacore roll. On top of the delicious food, our server was wonderful and he made the entire experience even better with friendly and attentive service during happy hour. Always a favorite spot! read more

Service was excellent, Audrey was wonderful and attentive. The ambiance is American Japanese with TVs for sporting events the food was really good. Everything we ordered except the Beef Sukiyaki was on the Happy Hour menu (3-6 pm). I especially enjoyed the miso soup and the sushi's. The krab salad was good too light and cold on a hot day. My husband liked everything especially the Beef Sukiyaki, Vegas roll and spicy tuna roll. They even validate parking on event nights. read more

Came in for dinner after some shopping. Haven't visited in a while, ordered a spicy beef ramen with shrimp fried rice, my food was delicious. It was a little busier as we left we beat the dinner rush I think but we sat with Bou, I hope I spelled it right, but he was so attentive, I know he was busy, had a big party in our section but he continued to check on us. He made the night very enjoyable. I've worked in customer service for over 15 years and his service was superb. 10/10. read more

I recently went here for my engagement dinner for the first time! We weee excited to try because sushi is a special meal for us.. The manager / host was so friendly in the way he greeted us. We appreciated his positive presence. It took us a while to wait for our server Anthony. Although nice he did go missing a few times to we had to ask another server for water and ask the food runner for more food items because he kept going back and forth... not sure what happened there We will be back! Food was yummy! read more

A friend and I were recently in the area for a concert and decided to grab an early dinner here before the show. After looking over the menu, I ordered the garlic asparagus salmon roll and the unagi bowl. My friend ordered her own sushi and main entrée. The garlic asparagus salmon roll was the better of the two. The roll was nicely balanced with a light amount of crunch to it. In one or two roll pieces, the asparagus was a bit tough. The unagi bowl was decent, it was a nice surprise to have more items in the bowl than the usual unagi don you see at some other places here. We came around 4 p.m. and were able to be seated right away. Unfortunately, service was a bit slow and unorganized. Our server took a long time to take our order, and we were never given ginger or wasabi or a cup for our soy sauce to go with the sushi we ordered. Additionally, our entrees did not come out around the same time. My friend's sushi roll and main entrée came out way before mine did and by the time mine came out, she was already done with her meal. You can tell the restaurant has been around for a while from the wear and tear of their interior. I would say skip the hot entrees and stick to the sushi. The sushi was of better quality, which was decent. If you're in the area for an event, and looking to grab a meal, this place fulfills its purpose well. I would just recommend coming a little earlier to make sure you get to the event on time. read more

Our first time at this restaurant and we took a seat at the sushi bar. We had a first hand view of the sushi rolls as they were made as they were picked up by the servers right in front of us. They have a regular happy hour and reverse happy with excellent discounts. We ordered only from the happy hour menu and they did not disappoint. We will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time trying this place I had heard some good things about it. The ambience was nice. The service was horrible. We had to ask for our server to be replaced because she had a horrible attitude ( Kelly ) which they quickly did. The young man and the lady that took over the table were great. The food and appetizers came out pretty fast and the food turned out to be very good. I would definitely try another location because the scallops were very good.

So to start I love how the menu is presented and there are so many options to choose from and I want to try all of them . What is shown in the photo was 6.7/10 but I tried the other dishes which were super yummy. I'm not gonna let one dish determine the worth of this restaurant, with that being said I would go again! read more

We arrived soon after the restaurant opened for the day. There was a short 15 minute wait. We were seated and our drink order was taken right away. Once the drinks arrived, our food order was taken. Half of the order arrived quickly. The other half sat on the bar until we told the server that it had been sitting there for a while. The sashimi was frozen in the middle. The bathroom here is crazy. You get dizzy the moment you walk in. Several children were crying because of the confusion of the mismatched lines. One child was getting motion sickness because of the lines. It was awful! If you visit, try to avoid the bathroom. I had to close my eyes in order to get in and out. read more

Great place for celebrations. The luncheon specials are great value. The pork cutlet with shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura came with miso soup and salad.

Staying at a hotel near this restaurant for a conference and had the ability to order online. Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy to order sushi in the desert but then I think everybody's getting their fish flown in regardless. They are located in the Westgate entertainment district upstairs near the water fountains. They have a nice large outdoor space and an indoor area with a bar. Of course I had ordered carry out and it was ready on time. They're carry out presentation includes all of the sauces on the side and also ginger, soy, and wasabi. It was packaged very nicely. I wish there were more options without imitation crab as it is in pretty much every roll they have. The tuna on sticky fried rice was my favorite. read more

Had dinner before the Bruno Mars concert across the street. Thankfully we made reservations and they were able to hold it with a 15-minute grace period as we had a lot of traffic to go thru. We made it to our 6pm reservation and were seated within a minute or 2. I heard a walk-in probably had to wait 30-40 minutes. The place was packed as it's in an outdoor shopping area with lots of restaurants & shops and probably other concert goers were there too. We were seated at a booth and it was definitely bustling. Our server, Audrey helped us and we took a few minutes to decide. I was only in the mood for Miso Soup, Green Salad with a Ginger dressing and hot, white rice. My cousins ordered the Sushi Moriawase, Sesame Chicken and Chirashi "Kaisen Don" type of bowls We also had an order of Jumbo Scallops with Mushrooms and hot, Green Tea for the table. We placed our orders & they came shortly thereafter. We had to ask for utensils and napkins as they weren't provided once we were seated. A couple of times my cousin had to ask for hotter tea as it was warm and I ended up asking for hot water on the side. My cousin liked her sushi platter and I liked my comfort food, esp. the refreshing salad! I would order that again! My other cousins ate their bowls but one mentioned to me later on that she felt a little sick when we got to the concert. I was wondering why she was a little quiet! She thinks the fish wasn't that fresh. We paid our bills on the hand-held device and left. Seems more like a Japanese restaurant more for the modern, upbeat ambiance than for quality and service. Perhaps they need more attention to detail on what's being served and when setting up tables for service. read more

Stopped in for dinner after seeing the new Mortal Kombat movie (10/10 recommend) I've always wanted to try this spot and luckily my date was willing to try it out with me! Our server Dillian was amazing, he let us know about their night time happy hour menu and special recommendations. I got the beef kimchi yakisoba, and it was DELICIOUS! Would absolutely come back and can't wait to try more food on the menu! read more

One of my favorite Asian spots in Arizona! It is located on the second floor of the Westgate Entertainment District. Parking can be slightly difficult especially on the weekends since it's shared with many other restaurants but the parking lot is really big! Service is ok, wish it was more attentive and friendly The menu offers a variety of rolls, sashimi, nigiri (whether you like it cooked or raw!) They also have meat dishes, ramen, and combination plates (perfect if you want some beef/chicken and some sushi!) I usually get the beef and chicken teriyaki combo and it comes with veggie tempuras, 3 pieces of California roll, and a salad for $21.45! I would say it's 7/10 The beef teriyaki is soometimes too chewy and not tender enough and the chicken is usually a little too dry and rough. The sauce used is a tad sweet and salty and tastes pretty good. The salad is your typical garden salad and the greens are usually pretty fresh. The California rolls are your standard rolls and nothing too special. The tempura is perfectly fried and super crispy without being too oily or greasy. Would totally recommend and return especially since there aren't that many good Asian spots to choose or go to in Glendale, AZ! read more

We visited Kabuki Japanese Restaurant during happy hour. I had the Sake Sangria and Hubby had the Sapporo Draft beer. There were numerous food selections available during happy hour. We share the Sunkissed Roll, Yellowtail Roll, Salmon Roll, Yellowtail Sushi, Salmon Sushi, Mixed Tempura, and Eel Sashimi. Everything tasted fresh and we had just enough food. Highly recommend their happy hour, which runs daily until 6 pm. read more

My friend who is also Japanese recommended this place for sushi in the west valley so I gave it a try with takeout. I loved that they had different sushi for each of the moriawase. Some non-Japanese owned Japanese places would just use the basic assortment of fish maybe a few times and call it a special or moriawase. I was very happy about this. I also was very happy that they had scallops. They were so good! Can't comment on the service or ambiance. read more

Best late night sushi happy hour menu! Deals for drinks, apps and even speciality roles. You name it. The bar staff were friendly and fun. They offered some suggestions to help with my indecisive nature because I just want to order one of everything. The calamari was cooked perfect so it wasn't chewy and the sauce that comes with it adds a little razzle dazzle if you're in the mood. Feel free to eat them just as they come because they are delicious. The shrimp tempura roll did not disappoint and also had crab with avocado that are some of my faves to order. I washed everything down with a Kirin and hot sake again all on the happy hour menu as well. I will be back for some late night adventures when I'm craving good sushi for half the cost. read more

I love this place, ambiance is always good. They greet you as you walk in and the sushi chefs yell something when people come in. Service was great as usual I have never had inconveniences with a server in this location. Food is delicious as usual my favorite is hibachi rice or spicy beef Ramen. I do think that they need to go easy on the ice with the drink specifically my margaritas. No joke but there was more ice than drink in my glass. Also this is the location that serves in a margarita glass rather than a short regular glass. Non the less let's hope they go easy on the ice because doesn't feel right to pay $14 for a glass of ice. read more

With astonishing diversity, Kabuki provides a sure crowd-gratifying experience of Japanese-fusion. The menu is considerate of classic and innovative rolls, as well as the legitimate vegetarian, gluten-free and awarding kids ones- something to all. Their happy hour is a good price, cocktail is well made and their service is always friendly at their numerous outlets. There is also a small disadvantage of chain energy; although it is polished, it may not be as intimate as a smaller and chef-driven place. The size is good in terms of quality, though, you will not be amazed by innovation. A secure, gratifying option to the groups, families or those who want to eat sushi solely predictably. read more

We tried the spicy tuna roll (fresh, with a nice kick) and a margarita (surprisingly balanced, not too sweet) at Kabuki. The sushi was clearly the star--the fish quality was decent, and the rice was well-seasoned. The margarita was a pleasant surprise for a Japanese spot. However, the service was slow even with few tables, and the interior feels tired. Verdict: Stick to sushi and simple drinks--skip the hot dishes. read more

Not too bad! The quality of the sushi was pretty good. The standard Philly Roll was very well balanced. Our favorite roll though was Albacore Crunch Roll. The ponzu sauce and onions were perfect with the roll. The fried gyoza was actually crispy too. Both drinks were fantastic. If I had to pick one it would be the Kyuritini. The elderflower and cucumber was just a fantastic sip. The service was a little slow. The feel of the restaurant was welcoming and kid friendly. read more
