This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in the Aiea/Pearl City area. The food and price are great. I usually get their 2 choice Japanese food combo. However, my favorite is their Nama Chirashi bowl. The mix of seafood types, the quality and quantity of the seafood is outstanding. I've tried Chirashi bowls from other Japanese restaurants in the area (Mililani Sakura, Waikele, Zippys PC, etc) , but none can compare at their price. See attached photos of this and other dishes we ordered. My grandson had the kiddie plate, and the others were 2 x combo teshokus. Mine was the last Nama Chirashi.

Our Review of Kabuki Restaurant @ Waimalu Shopping Center. Kabuki Restaurant is a Step Back in Time. Where Culture and Tradition is Alive and Well. Traditional Japanese Dishes are Made in The Time Honored Tradition. No Shortcuts. The Taste of The Good is Authentic. Prices are Reasonable $$. We ordered Shrimp Tenpura Donburi Bowl, Miso Butterfish Teishoku. My Teishoku was Excellent - Chawanmushi (classic and hard to find, not many Japanese Restaurants make this anymore. But done right it is a Treat.) Sashimi, Lettuce Salad, Simmered Pumpkin, Green Tea. My wife's Shrimp Tenpura Donburi is on a bed of Rice, with Miso Soup and a Traditional Tenpura Dipping Sauce with Grated Daikon, that is so Authentic. For Dessert, we had Strawberry Shave Ice with Vanilla Ice Cream and Azuki Beans. We had a Wonderful Time at Kabuki Restaurant and You Will Too. Hugs Wes n Wanda Anzai ❤ Mililani Hawaii 5 / 2022

I had not been here since the early 1990s but decided wanted to enjoy dinner here. Well the place was kinda run down to be honest. It needs a full make over for sure. The tables were really clean and seats seemed to be redone so it was good seating. They have full plexiglass barriers at every booth for covid safety as well. But they had restaurant supplies piled up where you could see them which is an easy fix to me. But let's get to the food... we had Shrimp Tempura and sashimi. I love my shrimp tempura and it was good. I can say I would enjoy it again if the placed got a face lift. I did enjoy the Japanese kabuki music that plays in the background as you enjoy your meal. Makes you feel more at home.

First and last time sitting in restaurant. Misoyaki Butterfish was more on the 'yucky' then Misoyaki, Tasted like eating Saba. Teri Beef was just sauce squeezed on some meat.

Ok so let’s get the pros out of the way first: Our server was the sweetest lady we have ever met. Very knowledgeable with the menu, gave good recommendations, and got our food out in a timely manner. The only problem we had with the server was after we were finished eating, she never came back around to give us our check. Which is where the cons come in: A gentleman (who I heard was the owner) that seated us walked past and I kindly waved him down and asked if we could get the check after 20 minutes of waiting. The man gave us an annoyed look, put up his hands and said in an aggressive voice “I don’t have your check!” And walked away. He came back after a minute and asked “who was your waiter?” After explaining what our waitress looked like , he yelled for her and was giving her attitude. This was a shock to me and my family! I have never experienced this before. Usually, when I’m at other restaurants and the waiter is taking long to come back around to ask if we’re ready for the check, I will ask a worker passing by and they will kindly say “so sorry about that, let me get your waiter”. Never have I experienced such a rude reaction before. Not only that man but as our waitress was helping other tables, other employees would pass by her and make rude comments. I’ve never been so uncomfortable dinning before. I DO NOT recommend Kabuki and will not be returning! Worst experience ever!

Always eat at restaurant which has been excellent. Today tried the delicatessen & was very disappointed with person handling front end. She was very rude. Short hair, wearing blue shirt. Think she needs more training with customer service. With such a person as this she should not be working if she does not no how to speak to customers. U would do ur delicatessen a favor by letting her go!

Great Authentic Japanese Hawaiian Local Kine Plate Lunch Foods. Sells out fast! Get there by 9am or sooner if you want the full selection.

Okazu shops are disappearing and we lucky to have one of the best still around!

Okazu on point. Cone Sushi is the Bomb! Tempura is tasty! #supaonoyo

Very good food. My friends and I go frequently. Everyone is polite and nice. Very established restaurant, and you know what to expect, and I love going local.

Honestly, I don't care for the new set up when ordering okazu. I think its alot slower than it was before. Other than that... staff was great and food was ono too!!

The miso butterfish was cold when arrived., like it was cooked quite a while Go.

Great food went to get okazu recommended phone order take out best don't have to wait in line

Teishoku was amazing for the price. Also decided I'd treat myself to something sweet and it was totally worth it it! If you're on the fence, it's definitely worth the time to check out Kabuki.

Bbq ribs plate was delicious. My husband had the butterfish and was pleased with its flavor. Everything we ordered was flavorful. Our waitress who was a small short japanese local young lady forgot her name but has short hair and had it up in two buns gave us excellent and pleasant service. She was consistent but gave us space enjoying our dinner. My little girl loved her ice cream shave ice! Yum!!😍😯👍

Was a lifelong memory to eat sushi with friends and catch a glimpse into the decades of memories they had enjoyed. Thank you Masa for the amazing experiences and delicious food.

Good quality food at fair prices. Casual environment. Clear soup is good and a nice change from miso. Pickled cabbage side had no taste. Seemed like unsalted blanched cabbage. Saba was a good portion. A whole fish. (2 filets) but I wish they had deboned them. A chore to eat. Though the grill flavor and crispy skin was very nice. Rice was too sticky. Not overcooked but overly soft in places like it was beaten up by being stirred or something. Very friendly staff and good service.
