2675 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107
· Japanese restaurant, Asian restaurant, Sushi restaurant
· East Pasadena
Reliable, American-leaning Japanese spot with lively happy hour and broad menu; good value at lunch, but fish quality and service consistency vary.
Why this grade
Kabuki delivers reliable casual Japanese dining with friendly, quick service and strong happy hour and lunch value, but safety concerns including a serious foreign-object incident and inconsistent sashimi quality prevent a higher grade. The spacious, family-friendly setting and generous portions make it a solid neighborhood choice for casual dining, though not a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Sashimi freshness varies; a few reports of icy or fishy cuts
