“ Love love love okazuyas. Love what Kabuki has to offer. Love that they have a menu where you can look prior to getting to the front and helps makes ordering quicker! Very sad their hours are short. Needed to make a new yelp profile for them because it was getting mixed up with the RESTAURANT side. Two different sides, two different hours, same business. ”
“ Had to get my Kabuki fix. Prices are awesome, food ono, workers are super sweet. Support local so these places don't disappear. ”
“ When I'm in the area, kabuki is my go to okazuya place. Some of my favorites are maki, chow fun and nishime. Usually there's a line when we go so expect to wait maybe 10-20 mins when it's busy. The restaurant still closed unfortunately but I used to love coming here for lunch. ”
“ I love Kabuki Okazuya. Too bad the take out section closes early. I wish they had delivery. They only take cash outside, from what I've experienced. I dream of what I would order! But, I'm not a morning person. I rarely make it there before they run out of food or before they close. Once I was there early and they ran out of the good stuff. They had a couple hours or so before closing time, but they don't refill what's sold! But, I still love eating there. See you in my dreams...Shrimp tempura and shoyu chicken! ”
“ We love Kabuki Okazuya! When I think of Okazuya, I usually compare other places to the offerings at Kabuki. There are many other places on the island that serve this type of food, but my bias always steers me back here. I appreciate their menu being on the smaller side so it isn't too overwhelming to come to my decision. I'm the type that wants everything, so it's hard for me to go into a place that has endless options. Foodie problems... haha! :( Service is quick and to the point here. Just wait in line, walk up when you're called, and point to the things you want. There's a menu board on the wall that could help guide you, but the simplest rule of thumb is to choose what looks good that day. Phone orders are also welcomed! Popular items are hard to identify since there's a nice blend of local & Japanese okazu to suit different taste preferences. Our faves start with the fried halibut - a simple piece of fish that's lightly breaded, salted, and fried. Then next is the gobo! This really grew on me over the years of getting old lol I love the savory crunch that has a kick of spice, depending on the bite. Third fave is the long rice noodles and shoyu chicken. I can't ever get a plate without one of the two, so they both land as my third favorite lol. There's also daily specials that remain the same week after week. Thankfully for me, they have all my faves everyday! Admittedly, it would be nice to see different specials from time to time. Through the decades of dining here, I'm almost certain the majority of their menu hasn't changed. On a positive note tho, I am happy to say that I have NEVER had issues with the food here. Yes, everything is prepared ahead of time, but thankfully it all remains fresh and my tummy always approves too! ”
“ Rushing to take hubs to get his flu/covid shot, get car wash cuz his friend is here from California, dropped him off at PT ... Hamburger and egg please( heard 2 people in line order that.) Good enough for fast breakfast. Couldn't resist bought 2 rolls of maki sushi, one for visiting friend and one for us. Taking friend to lunch after hub's PT ”
“ Okazukya review: Been coming here occasionally for years as it is relatively close to my house. Most items around $2-4 each. They have a variety of things from sushi, namasu, tempura, chicken. Tempura can be a little oily but it has good flavor. Chicken was little dry but nice shoyu flavor. Good spot if you are in the area and want a okazuya type of breakfast/lunch. ”
“ Wow it's been awhile since we've been to kabuki, had a line in the am filled out the sheet for easier ordering but if possible best to phone order your order and go in and pick up you can skip the line, Noodles come in pint $7 or quart size $12 and they pack it in there! All had good flavor really liked the long rice noodles! Everything was so tasty especially loved the halibut so soft and buttery never had a fried fish okazuya definitely must try it if you like fish. Also compared to a lot of other okazuyas their prices seem reasonable and the size of the pieces are good size! Definitely would come back! ”
