It's one of our favorite places to eat for a special occasion. The chefs really work hard to make everyone's experience fun. It's a little pricey but you can get another meal out of the leftovers that tastes even better the next day!❤️ 🍜🎌🎎

We met there to celebrate my sister's birthday. It was a little after 12, lunchtime. There was a group finishing up on the other side when we arrived. Once we were seated, we didn't have to wait long for the chef. He was an absolute joy. He made us laugh the entire time. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious!

Being my first time here, I love it. Not everyone has the same experience but I will say mine was great. Now I do have a small tiny complain which was my appetizer, we order Krab Rangoon, which are my favorites but I was a bit disappointed in them, because they didn’t taste fresh, they felt like they were kinda chewy, hard to bite. But besides that the rest was good. I have the chefs Bobby, he was amazing. This was the first hibachi I’ve been to that has been great, the food was great, it was much more than I expected. I love it. The waiter was amazing I just didn’t get his name. But I gave it a 5 because besides the appetizer everything else was Excellent. I will definitely be back. I ate the land and sea, plus added shrimps definitely recommend it.

Presents as a liminal space for a late weekday lunch. You’re led past several large empty dining rooms into the one room being used for guests. My mom and I were eating just the two of us, not a special occasion, but still wanted to sit by the grill. The soup offered was delicious. Our chef could tell we preferred to chat amongst ourselves, and he let us do just that. Our hibachi was delicious, generous portions, with all meats cooked perfectly. The groups who did want a more celebratory performance from chef got that as well. Good, balanced service. Overall, a wonderful lunch.

I love a good firecracker roll, so I ordered something similar. They close at 9pm, which doesn't give you much time so make an early reservation. The decor is pretty nice, I sat at the bar. Overall, It's a nice local sushi spot in Cary, I may try it again.

I had an amazing experience at Khabuki! The food was fresh and flavorful, and the hibachi show was entertaining and fun—our chef was engaging and made the meal enjoyable. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for a night out. I can’t wait to visit again! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great Japanese cuisine and a memorable dining experience.

Not a local, so we searched online. The website make everything look really good, but looks can be deceiving. The shopping stripe it was located in looked sketch, but the decor inside was nice, a great Japanese feel. We were seated right away and the staff from the front, to waiter, to chef were all extremely nice. We all ordered the hibachi and 1 appetizer. The appetizer never came out, but we were also never charged for it so no harm there. We did get alot of food on the hibachi, the problem though was the rice and noodles really didn't have a flavor, it tasted like just plain rice...thank goodness for the yumyum sauce and soy sauce I was able to spruce it up. I also asked for my steak to be medium rare and I got well done (so the flavor was all gone and the meat was now tough to chew)

I hesitate to write a negative review because our experience was lovely and the food was very good. Unfortunately, my husband had food poisoning symptoms shortly after eating here (he ate something different than the rest of us) and because he tested negative for the flu, I have to wonder if he got food poisoning from the steak hibachi he ate. The restaurant is very cool and my kids loved the experience, we just might not return due to my spouses reaction.
