The experience was nice. The health score was 89, which is low for me. I didn't see it because it wasn't posted on the wall. It was propped up behind the counter. The lemon drop martini was a 5/10.

This was my second time visiting Kabuki and I had a very enjoyable experience. We were able to be seated promptly and the server that was assigned to our area was very knowledgeable about the menu. Our water glasses were topped off at least 3 times in the 30 minutes and the food was presented well. I like when a restaurant takes time for presentation and that is why I gave 5 stars.

Overall good price and good food. There is always plenty of room and I have never had to wait to get to the hibachi grill. I would say their only downfall is lack of consistency with the food. It really depends on which Chef comes to your grill because the food tastes different every time. Overall I would say for the price and amount of food, Kabuki is one of my regulars!

I have eaten here a few times. The staff is friendly and answers any questions you have. I have only ordered to go and it is ready within 20 minutes. The food is always fresh and hot. They give you a good portion size for the price. Their onion soup is best I've had at any Japanese restaurant. Their regular steak is ok but a little dry. The filet is better, but I still think they could get better cuts of filet and add a little more flavor to it. The vegetables are always cooked well.

I've visited this place 3 times in 1 month. I love the Hibachi Salmon. That's my go-to, along with sushi! I've sat in front of the Hibachi Grill, which is entertaining. I noticed that they add gratuity automatically when you sit there. I've also sat in the regular dining area. Love the variety of adult drinks to choose from as well! The only thing that keeps them from getting 5 stars, they use a lot of oil and a LOT of butter on the food. I love the food, but I won't be coming too often because of that reason alone. It'll have to serve as a treat of an outing. My arteries need a little break😅 Other than that, CHEF'S KISS! 😙🤌🏾

You want to talk about good eating, this is definitely the spot. Seeing your food cooked in front of you while being entertained at the same time is a pleasure. Though they are not the only place in the city that does it, it was the taste of the food they won me. Highly recommend.

I love the hibachi vegetables as well as the teriyaki tofu and brown rice. They’re always quick with the service whenever I go. Unless, you’re sitting at the hibachi table waiting for others to join…

Me and my wife have gone here since we first starting dating over fourteen years ago. The owner has always taken care of us and the restaurant looks great for it's age. I love the adult drinks and the staff. It's my first choice for hibachi style dining in Montgomery although I prefer the dining room over the grill. My favorite ginger dressing in town also and it's great with the steak.
