High-End Japanese Food & Service
At Kabuki, it's evident that sushi-making is not just a culinary process but an art form. Not only is the restaurant set up pleasing to the eyes, but you'll also find this apparent in the Kabuki Shoroku menu and how their dishes are presented.

Grilled Giant Scampi
The scampi meat is grilled to perfection, ensuring the exterior has a slight char, providing that smoky aroma, while the inside remains succulent and tender.
However, when I see a $22 "giant" scampi on the menu, I'm expecting an impressive and sizeable chunk of meat to devour. This scampi while it is larger than usual, it's not large enough to justify the price.
Overall, it's a solid entrée in taste and texture, but I would not order this again purely because of its steep price tag and serving size.
Deluxe Sushi Selection
Experience Kabuki Shoroku's sushi craftsmanship with this deluxe selection of pure sushi freshness served to order. This assortment showcases a variety of the freshest catch of the day, ranging from classic salmon and tuna to the delicate and subtle scallop and prawn. It's also got a couple of my other favourites, unagi eel nigiri and ikura maki (salmon roe fish egg) sushi. This combination of sushi is essentially all the classics you'd find in traditional and authentic Japanese sushi. However, if raw sushi isn't your cup of tea, there's a cooked/seared version of the deluxe sushi selection.
The only downside is that nothing stood out in particular, and there is no premium sushi such as otoro (fatty tuna) and salmon belly. There's also nothing you can't find at a similar sushi restaurant, so you will likely already know what is being offered. Regardless, each sushi piece is meticulously crafted, ensuring the rice is perfectly seasoned and holds just the right amount of bite to complement the fish's natural flavours. This selection is for those looking for the classics executed well but don't expect anything out of the ordinary or revolutionary.
Miso Soup
Made with a rich and savoury miso base, you can expect a good mouthful of depth with every sip. It can't be faulted and is prepared thoughtfully with the softness of the silken tofu and the textures of the wakame seaweed. This isn't the quick pre-made kind of miso, but rather a lovingly brewed version that showcases the delicate touch of Kabuki Shoroku's dishes on Japanese meals. It's the type of miso that reminds you of the depth and intricacy Japanese cuisine can offer, even in its simplest forms.
RECOMMENDED
