Best sushi I've ever eaten. – Great sushi. The service tends to be a little lacking, especially when they are busy, but the food makes up for the lack of personal attention given.

its a quick fix to sushi – i remember when kabuki first came to pasadena. all the workers are korean and tried to be japanese. still its like it today, if you go here, all the workers are korean. even the sushi chefs. the food isnt all that authentic but it does seem somewhat fresh. yes there are better sushi places in pasadena but if you want somewheree cheap, then this is the place for you. on the happier note, the kabuki on foothill, near best buy is WAY better then the one on old town. something about the place in oldtow... read more

Bad Sushi At KABUKI – kabuki has got to be one of the worst sushi restaurants ive ever been to. i love sushi, so im always looking for a new place to try. when im going out to eat with friends, kabuki seems to be the sushi 'no-brainer', but the food is awful; the portions of the rolls are cheap, and the flavor is nothing to write home about. its hard to walk away satisfied with small portions at such a high price, and feel good about what you ate and paid for. in my opinion, theyre much too expensive for the quality. i like ... read more

Excellent Food The other reviewers here have talked about the sushi. I had a chance to eat some of their other entrees on their menu. One in particular stands out as excellent. It is their Miso Black Cod... YUM! It is a grilled black cod fillet in a sweet miso sauce that is a killer! Accompanying the cod on the plate is roasted sweet corn and baby asparagus. A great dish! An appetizer of note is their beef wrapped asparagus... an asparagus spear wrapped in a slice of tender beef and grilled.... served on a bed of greens in a... read more

So-so sushi – Only been here once, so someday I'll give it another try but. . . . the sushi rolls were ok. Some didn't seem fresh (were warm instead of cold) or loosely put together. Service was not so good either. Long time to get our food and after we finished it was like we were abandoned. We had a hard time tracking down our server to get the check. We knew one of the managers so, of course, he was good to us. The place wasn't too busy when we got there but I'm sure during more popular hours the place is pretty busy (bei... read more

Decent sushi, cool location – In the heart of Old Town, this Kabuki has a nice patio out front where you can people-watch. Their sushi is perfectly decent, and their rolls were tasty. There's a parking lot that gives you three-hours free around the corner on Delacey.

Bad Service – The price of the sush is cheap and fresh. I have been to both locations in Pasadena and the one in West Hollywood. I try to avoid Kabuki in Old Town Pasadena. Recently the service has gotten worse than a year ago. Head towards the other Kabuki off Foothill where the wait is shorter and the service is better. I believe service is just as important as the food. There isn't anything special about their rolls but if you just want simple Japanese food, this is a good place to go. It is quick and cheap for sushi.

sushi lunch - half price is nice Kabuki on Colorado serves really good sushi - the best thing about this place is the half price lunch menu. If you come before 12 noon or after 1pm that's best - they tend to be a bit crowded at the noon lunch hour and service can be slow... but before or after and you get good sushi at a great price right on the strip on Colorado.
