Reviews for Kabuto Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar (Tyvola Rd Location) in Charlotte, NC

First time for myself, the Wife, and a friend from out of town. It was a Wed. evening and only 2 other tables were seated. The... Server was quick to ask for our drink order. Like, I hadn't even sat down when she asked. She delivered our beverages quicklyand our Chef soon followed. His name was Pancho and he knew how to read the table. No shrimp-tossing. Only the onion Volcano. The strip, chicken and shrimp weekday specials were ordered. The ginger-dressed salad was more of a salad dressing soup. Therice tasted a day old and the noodles were quite firm. Someone I can only assume was the owner/manager lingered in the cornerduring nearly our entire visit. Pancho told us he'd been a Chef at this location for 7 years. His skills were evident of thesame. However, the ingredients he worked with were prepped either a day or two before we dined, or simply of lesser quality. We will not be dining here again, sadly. Quite an underwhelming dining experience overall. Read more

I genuinely love visiting Kabuto, not for the food, although, the food IS good... But I *adore* catching a drink at the bar and... ordering sushi from the ever-accommodating chef. Although, I never order off the menu, my odd requests and custom rolls areconsistently crafted with care. I sometimes order a side of dumplings, fried rice, or garlic noodles because I think they're areal value. I have never been seated at a table because I tend to dine alone... So my review is based solely on the sushi barservice. I also want to mention the superior bartender, Kendall. Even though I don't visit Kabuto often, she remembers my nameand greets me warmly when I arrive. Her sunny smile genuinely makes my day. If you aren't going to Kabuto with a large party orcelebrating an event, consider sitting in the small, intimate bar area. There's a few, quiet booths. Even when the mainrestaurant is packed with parties, the service in the bar area is spectacular. So says I. Read more

The cook was very nice only problem had was with the waiters they take out tip on bill but you dont come back and do... refill in drink and you looked them down to get. Anything so was disappointed ???? in that part Read more

Visiting Charlotte this Kabuto is conveniently located near the Sonesta Excutive Park. I wanted a fast healthy lunch to eat at... my hotel so I desired to try them. The guy at the bar that took my order was so nice and kind very attentive. They had avegiterian lunch option which I was excited about. The service was fast and while waiting he offered me a free drink! When theorder was bagged very well. He walked around the bar to hand it to me classy rather than give it over the bar. This place lookslike a great place to bring a date but also great for a fast work day lunch! The food quality is steller. Next time I am inCharlotte I will be back. Read more

Excellent hibachi restaurant. Staff is excellent and service is on point. The hibachi chef does a great job and is quite... skilled. Gets the guests involved with the standard hibachi show. You get more than enough food and will likely have leftoversto take home. The white sauce is delicious over everything. Read more

The waitress and the cook are all very nice. The food are great (not like some very salt with a lot of soy sauce). ???? The... amount of the food is HUGE! The price is very fair (especially during Monday thru Thursday they have specials). Read more

This place is a hit or miss. Most times it’s always things like this visit rice is always hard never cooked properly. Chicken... is always bland. The food made my mother and sister stomach hurt very bad. They have decent drinks. Staff is half and half somenot professional at all, while others show so much respect and treat you well. I would say I don’t recommend this locationwhen it comes to QUALITY. However it’s still edible and when going out I prefer quality over anything. Read more

The server had the best attitude. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Drinks we're watered down by the time the food was done. But as... soon as the server got finished. The sester came over to ask if we wanted to-go boxes. As if they were ready for us to leave..Ireally didn't like feeling like I was being rushed. Other than that service was great Read more
