Yes!!! This place is great! $1.00 Saki Bombs? Sure! Why not. We'll have a few rounds of those. The food was fantastic. We had a party of four, and had 6 or 7 rolls on the table, some bimbibop, tons of Nigiri, and of course, salad with ginger dressing and miso soup. It was all good! Did I mention the saki bombs yet? Our server, Kevin, was too cool! Great energy, great service... Awesome guy! If the rest of the staff is as good as him, you'll go far

I first came here about a year ago for Restaurant Week, and I've been back since then on my own for a sushi lunch. I enjoyed it both times, but I was much happier during the lunch when my choices were not restricted. The specialty roll menu is fun and colorful, and I liked being able to balance it out with a couple of more basic rolls. I tried the orange sunshine roll, which tasted as sunny as it sounds. It was juicy and flavorful and looked gorgeous on the plate. The presentation was attractive enough that the tuna roll and seaweed roll were not overshadowed by the special one. They tied them together pleasantly. I hadn't had a seaweed roll before and was curious when I saw them on the menu. The seaweed came wrapped within the rice, and it was good, if basic (but I expected basic). The one thing I'd appreciate would be more specialty roll options that aren't slathered in cream or mayo. I prefer to avoid eggs and dairy, and while the little bits on the rolls won't kill me, I'd be very happy to try something that tastes fancy and special on account of the fish, veggie, and tempura combinations, with fewer of the extravagant sauces (the sunshine roll had orange sauce *and* cream, and I'm sure just the orange sauce would have been plenty). Thank you to Jessica H. in her review for mentioning that they're open to modification. I will probably make requests next time. The decor is beautiful and sleek, and they have buy two rolls, get one free during lunchtime on certain days (Monday through Thursday, I think? Call and ask rather than quoting me on that.). There was also a Yelp check-in offer for the same thing that you can use if you're there at another time (and if they still have it).

I went there for a work lunch with a colleague. We both had lunch boxes. The lunch boxes are pricey ($12) but they come with a lot of food. For lunch for 2 people, I could see ordering one box and maybe a (pricey) roll. The food was very good. The restaurant itself is nice and the wait staff was great. Allegedly, all sauces, including soy sauce are made in house. That is pretty cool if true. That being said, I don't think this place really separates itself from the plethora of "XXXX food and sushi bar" restaurants in columbus. I don't live in Dublin and if I was craving this kind of food, then I would go to closer place like Japanese Oriental on N. High St. (I live in that area.) I don't really consider rolls to be sushi. I would eat here again if you were buying (and driving).

Was looking for a place for a late lunch in am area we are not very familiar with. Read the Yelp reviews and stopped I'm for sushi. We were immediately welcomed and seated, My partner has an onion allergy and often has problems with finding anything decent to eat. Many places cannot tell him if the dishes he wants are onion free. He informed the server of his allergy and she immediately was able to make suggestions on what he could get or what could be modified to allow him to eat. It was obvious that she knew the dishes and took pride I'm the restaurant. We ordered 3 specialty rolls and each had soup, They were able to leave the onion out of the miso soup which often means it also leaves out all flavor, However. This had a very good flavor. I had the spicy vegetable soup and was pleased with the flavor and the spice. All three rolls were extremely good but the fire roll was remarkable. It was refreshing and flavorful. The server was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.

This location has been several Asian restaurants in the last few years. This new one revamps the space, making it very modern. Service was very good. And right now, there's a special: buy 2 get 1 free sushi rolls for the rest of April. Plus a Yelp check-in deal for free edamame, so I ate pretty well. I had a futomaki roll- excellent. Plus a Philly roll, which was pretty good. And an eel roll, which wasn't bad, but, I don't know, I love eel and just didn't get much flavor from it or the sauce. Oh, well. Everything was fresh and well made. The menu is diverse, and I'm sure I'll be back for some of the Korean items, etc.

I went here earlier this week because I was craving sushi and was tired of the usual sushi spot. Kabuki is a further drive from the office but 100% worth it! It is a decent size place and has nice sushi bar, tables and booths. Very comfortable and clean environment. My friend I went with LOVES Korean food and was excited to try his favorite dish - Bulgogi. We were seated immediately and the server was very attentive asking if we had questions. The menu was really big, they had several different sections including your more well known asian dishes, sushi and a large variety of traditional Korean meals. The sushi menu had a TON specialty rolls and took up about two huge pages. The rolls all looked really different and delicious. They also had a lot of funny names like "Hot Sex Roll" ..tee hee.. However unless I am with my boyrfriend.. I am not very adventurous when it comes to seafood, (because i know he will eat whatever I don't end up liking). At the end of the menu is where you will find the Korean dishes...and boy were there a lot! I will need to read up on them before going back so I know what to get. I ordered the house salad, gyoza and spicy tuna roll. Both of our salads were out 2 minutes after we ordered and they were really good. My friend ordered the spicy vegetable soup which came out the minute we were done with our salads and along with it came my gyoza. The soup was amazing! You have to try it. It wasn't too spicy to scare me away and it had amazing flavor. The gyoza were different than your typical wonton wrapper thingy - it was bigger and a lot thicker. Not sure what it was made out of but the server told me to get it fried rather than steamed (which is what I ususally do). He was right.. that was some of the best gyoza I have had. Sometimes sushi can take a long time and im not sure if that is good or bad? But mine was out maybe 5 minutes after I finished my gyoza. My friends food came out at the same time. The sushi was really really really good. I don't know enough about sushi to really critiqu it but I have eaten enough to know this was absolutey delicious. As for the Bulgogi, that was the first time I have tried it so I don't have anything to compare it to. My friend said the flavor was really good and enjoyed it a lot. The only negative comment he made about it was he wished it was spicier..he told me usually this dish usually has a bigger kick to it. Both of us agreed we will be back here every week! The food has some serious quality to it and I swear we were in and out of there in under 30 minutes! If you haven't had Korean before or want a GOOD but quick meal during lunch, I would highly reccomend this place.

This place was deceiving at first. Not as fancy as I was hoping for. BUT! Never judge a book by its cover! The food was delicious. We had the bulgogi, spicy pork, dolsot bi bim bop, kimchee jigae, kimchee pancake & the ninja sushi. All did not disappoint. The ninja sushi was a little black peppery but maybe it was supposed to be like that? Didn't matter bc my bf loves black pepper and did not go to waste. Our waiter was really cool and we ended up having a really good time. Messed up on the checks a little at the end, but if that was the only issue, I will be going back! YUM!

First time here for lunch with friends. They currently have a special for Buy 2 Rolls Get 1 Free. We also were there during Happy Hour, which featured $1 Sake Bombs, $2 Domestics, and $3 12oz. Sapporo draft. They weren't too busy on a Saturday afternoon so our service was prompt and our food arrived quickly. Three of us shared the Buy 2 Get 1 special and another friend ordered the Eel Dup Bop (grilled eel with veggies over rice) because he wasn't feeling sushi today. All of our food came with miso soup. The rolls we ordered were the Corona Roll, Mafia Roll, and the Super Crunch Roll. Personally, the Mafia Roll was my favorite, which had salmon, yellowtail, and tuna. The Corona roll came in second, and the Super Crunch roll last. It wasn't bad by any means, but just seemed a bit dull compared to the other two rolls. All the fish tasted rather fresh, and the price is about average for sushi. The portions are pretty standard too; the specialty rolls are sliced into 8 medium-sized pieces. My friend who ordered the Eel Dup Bop was satisfied with his food as well. We also decided to take advantage of their $1 sake bomb special! We had never actually done it before, and the waiter was more than happy to explain it to us. He was very friendly, informative, and fun! Overall, it was a great lunch and very affordable because we split the price up (about $11 each) for plenty of food. I think we'll definitely be here again soon!

My girlfriend and I went to Kabuki for their Restaurant Week offering. We were pleasantly surprised first by the friendly and knowledgable staff. The restaurant itself is clean and bright. We nearly missed it because the sign is almost the same color as the stone building,so look carefully, it's next to Pet People. The starter salad was fresh and had a delicious orange dressing that I'm betting was house made. Sushi rolls well constructed and a pleasure to look at. We had the No Name roll and Centerville roll as our main courses. They were both great! The Centerville roll was unique as it came on a bed of lettuce and was tempura cooked,very filling! Many other items on the menu were attractive and we plan on returning.

Eh. This place was just ok. It's a cute, clean space but the sushi was lacking something. I ordered the Fire Roll, and despite the word "spicy" being used three or four times in the description, it lacked any sort of spiciness whatsoever. Even the wasabi lacked heat. The tempura udon however was pretty good. The broth had a nice depth and smokiness and it was just what I needed on this frigid day. In fact, it made me sleepy and ready for a good afternoon nap. I'm not saying I'd never eat here again, I'd just order a different sushi roll next time.
