Reviews for Kabuto Japanese House of Steak in Richmond, VA
Went for my birthday, first time I'd been and it was so much fun. The food was absolutely delicious. My salmon was cooked to... perfection. The fried tired was amazing. The chef read the table and kept us laughing with his humor. I am looking forward togoing back! Highly recommend! Read more
When we got there right at 3 we were greeted by the manager informing us we normally need a reservation but just this one time... they will let us eat there. We sit down and our drinks get ordered. When the waitress comes back I let her know we are readyto order, she informs is we have to wait until the whole grill is sat until we can order. 30 minutes later a second family sitsnext to us and we are finally able to order our food. On the plus side the food was great and the chef was awesome. To sum itup the only good thing about this place is it's food, but hibachi is hibachi. I'd recommend any other place instead of thisone.

All of our food was hot, tasty and cooked perfectly! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it was kind of a long... wait at the table for the chef to come and start cooking especially since we had a reservation. Good thing we had the soup andsalad served to hold us until the chef showed up. Other than the long wait i would highly recommend for a fun family dinner. Read more
When I arrived I thought this establishment was out of business due to the upkeep of the parking lot. Once you get past the... weeds and branches, you’re greeted by “oh this is cute, I see what you’re going for.” The waiting area was beautifullydecorated. The Koi were doing their thing and the kids loved them. I even enjoyed the scene on the ceiling. The sushi barwasn’t available when I was there (Sunday 1pm). It’s your typical hibachi spot. The show was for the kids and it was ok.Great food. Great customer service. Will I return? Eh. I’m good. Read more
I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. My sons took me for my birthday. They enjoyed it as well. It is a bit pricey so... bring your wallet. Read more
I couldn't give 5 stars only because the service was lacking alot. I dont know if they are shirt staffed or what but they were... slow and forgetful. We had a party of 8, they had very strict rules about not seating you until your entire party has arrived.They sat us down with 2 strangers, then got us back up since we were waiting in one person. We had to wait for a bit then oncewe were finally seated, it took forever to get our drink orders in, then another ling wait to give our orders. It was annoyingcause the place wasn't full, they just didnt have enough staff. When the chef finally came out, he dud the usual show cookingand entertaining us. Meanwhile, I git my drink, white sangria. I expected a glass of sangria with big chunks of fruit, but igot shredded kiwi at the bottom instead. Not sure why. It ruined the taste of the sangria for me. The entrees were good, itsalways fun watching him make everything. I had hibachi shrimp & mushrooms. It was delicious. It saved the night even thoughservice wasnt great. Read more
It has been a while since we have been to Kabuto. Service was a bit lack luster. After putting our order in we did receive our... soup and salad. It took a long while to get a chef to prepare our meal. I ordered Filet and shrimp. My shrimp was so overcooked and dry. I told the chef and he did not care. I was disappointed, because I usually love shrimp. I did not eat it. Myfriend ordered the same as I. Our steak was cooked rare as requested. My husband ordered Steak and he was happy. It took a longwhile to get our bill. Maybe with Covid service was off. Because my shrimp was way over cooked and the chef did not care I wasdisappointed. Read more
We got a last-minute New Year's Eve reservation for 4 o'clock. There was a comfortable ambiance. Service was efficient without... rushing us. Our Chef was a bit of a prankster, giving us a good show. We eat at Hibachi restaurants fairly often. Kabuto'sshrimp, vegetables, salad and soup were excellent. Their fried rice and filet were not as good as we've had elsewhere. We'ddefinitely go back. It was a nice dinner to lead into the New Year. Update 9/16/2022: it was Mimi's birthday and she wanted tocome here! We got a great meal, great service, and a great show. Our server, Manuela, went above and beyond, befriending our 7year old. One of our best dining experiences in memory! Read more
