I liked Kabuki, I have been to the one on Foothill and the one in Old Town Pasadena. The Old Town Pasadena is better specially sitting in the outside tables for people watching. What's there to rave about well, not much. The Mai Tai was good, the food just ordinary Japanese fare that you could have let's say Ishima and... More

We enjoyed a great lunch at Kabuki while on a day-trip to Pasadena on President's Day. My son loved the sushi sampler he ordered. My daughter and I enjoyed our teriyaki and tempura. The miso soup really hit the spot and the salad was fresh and very crisp. Lots of great food at a very reasonable cost. More

I do not care foe sushi too much But they have great alternatives to sushi. I love their hibachi chicken and beef. I highly recommend the restaurant for families with children as they have a... More

I've been going to Kabuki Pasadena for years and years. Back when they only had this restaurant and the one in Encino (that I knew of). Back when their claim to fame was "1/2 Price Sushi". We always argued with a friend that said it couldn't be considered 1/2 Price if it was always that price, which we argued back... More

Kabuki has two locations in Pasadena, the first being on Colorado Blvd. in Old Town Pasadena, and the other one being in the Hastings Ranch area on Foothill Blvd. I've had lunch here often, the food is always delicious! They do have a sushi bar, but I've never tried it. I usually order from their regular menu or one of... More
