Kabuto Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar

After a very exhausting week, my wife and I was ready to hit a restaurant for our anniversary. The one we were suppose to go too, closed up after about 3 months of operation. So my next suggestion was Kabuto Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar. We have been here with friends before and was pleased. This place is not like any other Japanese steakhouse, the decor alone blows any one's away. The main foyer has a huge Koi pond leading into the restaurant, which I thought was very neat. Beautiful tile and wall decor to give you that old Japan feeling. The lighting is unbelievable, not to dark, but the wall in another dining area changes colors frequently.

 The Food: To me all Japanese steakhouse's taste the same. So to me, it is about quantity for the right price. Of course everyone has either been to or heard of Kobe Japanese steak and seafood. Kobe charges more for less. At Kabuto, they give you more for a much lesser price. The sushi prices are very reasonable. The first time at Kabuto, I had the spicy tuna, one of my favorite sushi's. On my visit this past Saturday, I had the sushi sampler. It is the chef's sushi of the day. It was not bad at all. When it comes to the hibachi, I always get the same, chicken and shrimp, or steak and shrimp. The hibachi chef always put on a great show for you to eat. Excellent low mein noodles and fried rice. The hibachi vegetables goes great with the yum yum sauce. If you have never had yum yum sauce you are missing out and it is a must. I'm gonna be totally honest, Kabuto's is well worth it.

 The Service: I have read many written reviews on many other site's such as Yelp and 5 out of 10 people complained about the service. I have been to Kabuto's twice and have never once had bad service. We never went without an empty drink and as soon as I ordered my sushi, it came right out 5 minutes later. Very quick and efficient.

 Overall: I hope this restaurant succeeds in this area. I have seen many restaurants come and go in the Golden Ring area, one being a Japanese Steakhouse, which went out of business. The decor alone is breath taking, very clean, friendly staff, and really good food. I'm not big on giving ratings, but this place would get a 5 star rating. If you are in the area and you want some great food, stop in this place. I would definitely recommend this place over Kobe and Sakura's.
