Kabuki Japanese Restaurant -Food CA (Near Petaluma)

3 /5 Liam La Fargue: Wanted to like the place and was skeptical of bad karen-esque reviews. Calamari had the texture of a shoelace and food was simply not good, with mediocre service. Im all for local businesses and its nothing personal, its just time to leave this prime location to someone who cares about making good food.

4 /5 M Ne: The city of Petaluma California is a great place to visit. The downtown area is sprinkled with outstanding restaurants and shops. To add to the downtown setting is the Petaluma river with shops and restaurants. I hadnt visited downtown in awhile so we tried Kabuki sushi on Petaluma Blvd in the old Mcnear building in the old town section of Petaluma. We had an early dinner and ordered pretty simple. First was just a simple California roll. Pretty standard and does not differ in its making. Second was a plate of vegetable tempura. Broccoli, zucchinis, mushrooms, slices of sweet potato. These dishes were great, the tempura cooked just right and a large portion. The California roll consisted of 8 pieces. Only complaint was they were a little small. The last dish was a bowl of beef udon. Again great tasting, the soup had lots of beef slices and more udon noodles than I expected. Drinks are also standard, beer, sake, soft drinks, tea hot and cold and also Thai iced coffee which was kind of odd. Everything was moderately priced. Sushi restaurants can get pricey by individually priced items of course

4 /5 JP G: When we first walked in, I wasnt that excited about the restaurant because the staff were not terribly welcoming or quick to bring water. The food was still pretty good, average or slightly above average. The amount of portions they gave for the dinner special was great, a bit much for lunch actually but that is a nice problem to have. I wasnt sure that sushi so far inland would be that good, but I guess all sushi these days is shipped anyway. The nigiri that came with my special were tasty. The tempura that we ordered for the table was also very good. And I tried one of the gyoza on my plate and the crispiness was very good, as was the crispiness of the chicken katsu. In the end the staff were a little bit absent and not very friendly which took down the experience for me. But overall I like it and would eat here again.

5 /5 Julie C: Excellent quality! Service was not to "American" standards, but servers were polite and reasonably attentive. Im here for the fish, though, not a conversation, so I prefer it. Would absolutely go here over Sake 107, especially during their happy hour which is a flat 15% off

5 /5 Elise M.: My son and I LOVE Kabuki Sushi! Hes a picky 12 year old that wont eat a tuna sandwich... But ONE TRIP to Kabuki and suddenly he eats salmon, crab, tempura... Anything we can put in rice and seaweed! Haha! I keep recommending it to all of my coworkers. They have SO MANY different custom and traditional rolls (were still trying to make our way through the entire menu! I love that they offer more than just tuna, salmon, crab and tempura. Their unagi is so good) and such fresh ingredients. Weve been going here since we moved to Cotati/Rohnert Park about 4 years ago and we have NEVER been disappointed. The staff is incredibly sweet and the chefs are artists. I have to take pictures every time because they food is as beautiful as it tastes! Anyone that says the staff is rude probably had it coming.. Ive never seen them be anything but sweet and we eat in the restaurant most times. Please give them a try for yourself! Also - Ive NEVER questioned the cleanliness of the restaurant. Never had a dirty dish and the glasses didnt even have water spots. Dont understand the negative reviews AT ALL.
