I did a pick up order. The sushi was good. The lunch special was a good value. However, once I got back to my hotel room, I was disappointed to see that there were no soy sauce packets included. Just something to double check before you leave the restaurant if you are doing takeout. read more

Overall: below average sushi, only meets satisfactory standards. I ordered several rolls and they were falling apart. The seaweed did not seem fresh as it was soggy. The shrimp tempura roll I had still had shells in it. Some of my salmon avocado rolls barely had any avocado in it. Price: about $6-$7 rolls, I would say over priced for the quality here Service: staff was standard, no complaints. I had to seat myself but perhaps it was due to understaffing. Not a big issue though. read more

Nice little sushi spot around the corner from the convention center and reading terminal market. They had a handful of tables so it's definitely not 'to go only' though they were doing a brisk to go business. I had a rainbow roll and two tuna avocado rolls. I added roe to both. Quite tasty. My only slight criticism is that i feel very certain the tuna avocado rolls were pre-made. This was doubly confirmed when I got an additional one to go and it was clearly fresher and the ingredients looked different. read more

How cute is this sashimi meal? There's a tree on the plate!!! So pretty AND more importantly so delicious!!! It came with a soup and a salad and it was quite a good meal. Also ordered a seaweed salad, a tuna avocado roll, and a sweet potato roll (my first time eating a sweet potato roll!). All delicious. I've come by this sushi place several times but never popped in til today and I'm glad I did!! read more

Food was wonderful! Tasted fresh and very flavorful. Generous sushi portions for the classic rolls. Miso soup was not salty and just loads of flavor. Server was really nice and answered my questions courteously. Ambiance is chill and the music was a nice addition. They do not serve alcohol so if you're craving a beer or glass of wine, grab one before or after your meal! read more

We popped in here our first night in Philly for dinner. Food was just okay, but nothing to get excited about. This spot was about 1 to 2 blocks from our hotel. Quite small and wasn't busy either. There was another couple dining when we arrived. I would've took off another star, for the cups of water that was served. They were not clean. The cups looked like they were probably swished in water and not throughly cleaned with soap and water. I wish I asked for a bottled beverage instead. read more

I have past this sushi shop so often so I thought it was high time to eat there. The inside is very nice and warming. I sat down and got the menu. Ended up ordering the Salmon Maki Dinner. It included a salad and a miso soup. The salad and miso soup was very good. I have very mixed feelings about the sushi at this place however. It was not the best sushi I have ever tried however I really like how there was a lot of salmon/no rice. The seaweed wrap tasted a bit weird to me. Overall I rank this place a 3/5 read more

I was really craving some sushi recently and I needed to find a lunch place for a work meeting. I came across Kabuki and I was glad I did! I got a shrimp and vegetable tempura lunch bento box and it was delicious! And it was a large portion! It came with white rice, a California roll, a few pork dumplings, 2 shrimp tempuras and a few vegetable tempuras. I couldn't even finish it all but I wanted to! Everyone loved their meal choices, as well! One of the best sushi places I have been to. read more

At first glance, great prices for lunch specials and common sushi. The rolls come stuffed with ingredients, but the quality of the fish was quite questionable. Super fatty, odd textured salmon rolls as well as super fishy yellowtail. The lunch special comes with a soup or salad though, and that's a deal you can't beat for 13 bucks or so! Favorite roll was either the spicy white tuna of the eel avocado. The salmon I probably wouldn't get again, just because the quality was odd. read more

Glad to see this restaurant is still around. The last time I came here was in 2015, but I found myself in Philly again so I decided to give this place another try since I was near the convention center and didn't want to venture too far since it was late. I ordered the red mask roll ($15.95) since the waitress mentioned it was one of the more popular rolls and the sashimi salad ($9.95). The roll tasted good, no complaints. However, the salad was disappointing. The bottom of the takeout container for the salad had a pool of water, which on the positive side means they washed the lettuce lol, but on the negative side means the salad with the dressing ended up tasting watered down. The salad was also just iceberg lettuce, a couple of pieces of tomato and cucumber, and a few pieces of fish. I guess I was just expecting more. The service was great though. read more

It was my first time trying this place via delivery. I ordered the Mango dragon roll which is shrimp tempura, mango with eel sauce. It was very tasty but the portion was so small for $14.95! I feel it was missing 5 more pieces for a speciality roll. I probably would go in person to try their lunch special once restuarants open up in Philly during Covid. read more

I was really excited to go here. I was craving sushi all day and finally gave in. The location of this place is pretty good. It's in center city and close to reading terminal market, the shopping area, as well as Chinatown and I liked that. In regards to service, me and my lady had to seat ourselves. There was an individual there who could have sat us down but they didn't. That lost points with me! The menu looked pretty comprehensive and offered much variety. I ordered 3 rolls: yellow-tail scallion roll, spicy baby lobster, and Eel avocado. I wasn't honestly over the moon about it. I've had much better sushi before. The sushi kept falling apart ever other time I went to grab another piece. Additionally, the spicy baby lobster didn't really taste like a spicy baby lobster. Would I come back here? Probably not. I felt like what I paid for didn't represent the quality of the sushi I had. I've paid less for better quality sushi. It looked nice but that's pretty much it. read more

The food was great, the server was very attentive and nice, the whole place was clean. I got the dinner bento which was filling, and they let me get the shumai steamed instead of fried. I tried this place on a whim as I passed by before work, but definitely will be back! read more

Tiny but mighty sushi joint within close walking distance to the Convention center. I needed to quickly, and I mean quickly step out to grab a bite between sessions and they were just what the afternoon ordered. I just got some California Rolls with eel sauce. They were yummy and fresh, but also and most importantly, lightening fast! I was super impressed and appreciated their urgency because I didn't want to be late for the next session. I imagine they get pretty busy during more common meal times, but it was nice to be the only one in the small shop. There's a big market near the convention center with a ton of options that would've been more convenient, but I prefer Kabuki because it's way healthier than any of the options inside of the market. read more

I had a craving for sushi while in Philly so I decided to get take-out from here (thanks to Yelp) for our Sunday night family dinner. Do keep in mind that parking can be a pain because it is located in Center City and on a block with no stopping on both sides. You have to park about 2 blocks away if you are choosing to dine in or have your other half put their emergency hazard lights on while you run in. We ordered the pork gyoza, chicken teriyaki entrée, eel avocado/ cucumber rolls, the godzilla and spicy girl roll. The food was ready to pick up in a fairly quick time (about 25 minutes). All the workers were very nice and professional and the food tasted fairly good, fish was fresh but the eel rolls were sorta tiny. Price was in line with a standard sushi restaurant so you won't go broke eating here for dinner like what happened to us in Manhattan (JK!). It is a small and cozy spot, which is good for an adult date night if that's what you prefer but not really recommended for large parties and not quite family friendly either:] read more

After three days of working extra long hours and eating nothing but hotel food, anything different would have a been good. Luckily this sisig I joint was right down the street. And crushed me a delicious Godzilla roll, spicy lobster roll, a crab meat roll, and some pork gyros. Along with a bottle of cherry wine from the spirits store. The sushi was tasty and reasonably priced. As my wife says "happy tummy" read more

I love sushi, really I do. And anytime there's a place to get sushi when I'm on the road away from home, I will give it a try. Tonight I read a lot of the yelp reviews for the various sushi places around the Philadelphia convention center and I decided to give Kabuki a try. I liked that it was a very short walk from the Marriott hotels. The place was very clean and my female server was friendly. She also came over to refill my green tea without me asking her to. Now maybe it's a Philadelphia thing, but in just about all of the sushi places in New Jersey, they'll give you hot green tea for free. Here it's $1.50. The tea also tasted very floral, which was different than most of the green teas I've had at sushi restaurants. However, the food here is much smaller than what I've been used to in other sushi places. The miso soup was very watered-down and the salad was small. I ordered the sushi deluxe meal which came with miso soup and salad. The spicy tuna rolls are REALLY small. No, I'm not a sushi connoisseur, but I'd like to think that each sushi roll should have a minimum diameter larger the size of a US quarter. Some of these rolls had a diameter less than a nickel. I even added a picture of my thumb next to one of the rolls. And I have to admit it, I don't have huge hands. My suggestion is to make the rolls a little bigger and offer free green tea. Will I be back here during my four day stay in the city, probably not. A lot of places in NJ with similarly-priced sushi also offer slices of orange, melon or gum/candy when they present you with the bill to cleanse your palate, but not here. read more

In town for business trip, this small sushi restaurant was right next to our hotel. Their menu has a lot of varieties, and we only had chance to try a few for one meal. Chicken Katsu Benton was really good, I like the quality of how the meat been fried, it seems they do change the oil from the fryer frequently, so that keeps everything to have the nice golden color. The miso soup, seaweed was undercooked, soup was not hot (or not heat up to the right temperature). The Shrimp and Vegetable Udon, soup was a bit plain so it wasn't to our level of like. The Salmon Skin Hand Roll is pretty good, but I would suggest the chef to heat the seaweed paper a bit longer, so the skin doesn't get wet so fast while customers are eating. Our over all experienced, this place can be better, and we will definitely come back to try more sushi to see how they taste. read more

Absolutely delicious! The Fantasy roll was an awesome roll if you like a variety of protein. I really enjoyed the eel, salmon, and tuna together. The Inaka roll was my favorite, I loved the tropical flavor with the spices and fresh fish. The New York was another hit with multiple proteins in one roll. I have to say, the wasabi sauce on top really amps up the flavor in the best way. The was some of the best sushi I've ever had and I've lived in Japan and all over southeast Asian, eaten sushi in Vegas, Chicago, NC, Cali, all over. Definitely stop in this quaint sushi shop if you want outstanding service and delicious food. read more

I'm going to have to agree with Amalia Y.'s review that the sushi has a good rice to filling ratio, but might be a bit on the pricier side for Philly. I came in very hungry after work one day to satisfy a sushi craving. When I opened the menu, I was greeted a decent selection of appetizers, salads, sushi, and desserts. While the menu was not the most extensive one I've seen, it featured some pretty creative options. Two interesting items that caught my eye were the mango & avocado salad, and the wasabi shumai. I decided to start out with those. However, I was greatly disappointed because the shumai was very mushy, the filling was not very flavorful, and the green colored, wasabi-flavored shell did not really add much to the overall taste and quality of the food. The dipping sauce for it also didn't taste like anything. Similarly, the mango and avocado salad was very lackluster. Although it came with fresh slices of mango and avocado, these were laid on top of a bed of flavorless iceberg lettuce and came with a side of flavorless creamy dressing. Sushi-wise, I went with the Pink Lady roll, which was very pretty, very fresh, and very delicious. I would have preferred it with a bit more texture and flavor (perhaps by addition of sauce or other topping), but the rice to filling ration was very important here, and it seems they had it right. As for dessert, unfortunately the tempura battered red bean ice cream was extremely difficult to swallow. While there was not anything particularly bad about the taste, the combination of the tough texture of the ice cream with chunks of red bean combined with the cold, soggy, and dough-y shell really did not make its way down my throat easily. I blame myself for making a poor dessert choice, but at the same time, I'm not sure this is something that should be served to the public. Despite its proximity to City Hall and busy surrounding areas, the restaurant is tucked on a surprisingly quiet stretch of 13th Street, off the beaten path between Filbert and Arch. As a result, it was easy for me to find a seat, and the service was very friendly. Overall, this is not a place for a magical sushi experience along the lines of Zama, Doma, or Fat Salmon, but it's a pretty solid place for good quality sushi in a casual setting. read more

It was a day of grueling conference. My head was saturated with all new info, it was knowledge overload. I was too tired to have dinner. I was looking for a sushi place with a record of good standing. I found this one within a block from our hotel. It was a nice quiet restaurant. Very simple decoration but clean. I made a reservation online but got there early. The menu had relative good number of items. The service of food delivery to the table was fast. The seafood miso soup may needs more seafood . The shrimp shumai was average. The crazy Friday Roll was ok. I liked to have more spicy tuna inside. The sitting arrangement looked little congested, probably to accommodate more people inside. Overall, I was happy with the service and taste of the food. By the time I left the place, my stomach was full and my headache was gone. read more

A decent find next to the courthouse. Went here for lunch when I was given an hour break from my jury duty. They had a variety of different lunch specials including Bento boxes and three roll combos. I had the shrimp bento box which was presented well. It was served with miso soup and came with a California roll as well as pork shumai. I wish they specified that the shumai was shrimp as it usually is since I don't eat pork, but it was also partly my fault since I should have asked rather than assumed. The service was quick which I appreciated and after I was done with my meal. I lingered longer and had the melon bubble teaZ! It was good. read more

So Friday night I casually ordered about $60-worth of food from Kabukiza Sushi for a party of one. Don't question it, it just happened. Placed the order for delivery via Foodler at 7:43pm and they gave me an estimate of about 8:25pm and the food arrived around 8:10pm - when food comes early that's a win in my book. When I saw Sushi Pizza I got really excited and just HAD to order it, but in reality it was just "meh." Maybe it's something best tried in the restaurant but the "crust" of it was kind of soggy for my tastes and I just felt very indifferent toward it in general. I got red snapper, scallop, salmon, and yellowtail sashimi - the sashimi was very delicious and pretty good quality. I can't remember if it was the yellowtail or the red snapper (I want to say yellowtail) but it was a little firmer than I liked but other than that overall good sashimi. The Nabi Yaki Udon was also very yummy and probably what I was most satisfied with - most likely because I was craving something with a broth/soup. Also got a seaweed salad which for $4.95 they give you A LOT of seaweed salad. Can't say much for the quality of it I feel it is just average, but for the quantity you get, can't really complain. Next time I will probably try their sushi rolls which for some reason I just wasn't in the mood for that night. read more

On Christmas I ordered $100 worth of food from here. I specifically ordered multiple cucumber rolls for the fact there was no rice and it should've been gluten free. I got it and it was a completely different roll than pictured - so that family member tried to get off the rice but really didn't eat because when I called the restaurant and told them they told me to ask grub hub for a refund. Umm - I just moved here and now they've not only lost my family and me, but any type of recommendation for this restaurant- especially if looking for customer service. How disappointing. In my picture it shows what I thought I ordered and then what I actually received. read more

We ordered a sushi meal, a couple of hand rolls and rolls, chicken katsu, 3 bubble teas, and edamame. Overall tasty bubble tea, good katsu, and disappointing sushi. The sushi was small and flimsy. Two rolls were supposed to be hand rolls and came as regular rolls instead. And the sushi meal had a note for no crab, eel, or panko for someone gluten free. Well, the spicy roll was full of panko and couldn't be eaten. We ordered a good amount of food and paid premium prices for sushi and it really wasn't worth it. If you can't eat gluten, I wouldn't trust this place. read more

Conveniently located next to a bunch of hotels in the city center, but very unappetizing food. Ordered the hibachi steak bento box and everything tasted a little off. The California roll had a unique taste to it, the steak (which there wasn't hardly any of.. 3oz, maybe) was bland and the salad had a freezer burn taste to it. The white rice was good though! read more
