Kabuki
Rated "A" by the Palm Beach Post, Kabuki is a stunning modern Asian eatery enhanced by decorative lighting fixtures that create a dimly-lit, inviting atmosphere. There's a long, full liquor bar and a sushi bar in the rear of the restaurant which provides an opportunity to watch the sushi chefs in action. The menu is large and varied, offering both cooked and raw dishes, with an emphasis on small plates. You'll find everything from Thai-style Spring Rolls to Asian Empanadas. There's also a wide selection of Nigiri sushi and rolls as well as noodle and rice dishes, curries and stir-fries. Teriyaki dishes can be savored from the Japanese grill, along with a handful of entrees such as the succulent Crispy Duck or whole Fried Snapper, plus creative desserts like Thai Donuts with dipping sauce and Banana Tempura with ice cream.

"Restaurant was exremely loud and crowded probably due to the SunFest. Ordered a variety of small plates the quality of which was uneven."

"Food came out fantastic when it did. Only problem was the server. It would take him 15 minutes to return with an order every time we placed an order. That went for food and beverages."

"This was our second time dining at Kabuki. The first time, the restaurant forgot to sign us in on Open Table, and I was listed as a "no show." This time, I reminded them to sign me in, and my points were listed as "pending" for 48 hours before they were given to me. The food was just ok. The wonton soup was fair, and the chicken dish was plentiful and tasty. The best thing about Kabuki is that it is convenient to the Drama Works theater. I don't think that I would return to the restaurant again."

"We went for my friend's birthday party however they didn't know to check my reservation on Open Table so it might help for a reminder to pop up for them to do that. And I know happy hour is always crazy but it took 30 minutes at one point to get another round of cocktails from when we ordered in the dining room to when they came to our table after having to ask our server. Hopefully, that is just a hiccup since it's becoming more popular.
We'll try again."

"Never been to Kabuki and it was fantastic! The menu is large and versatile. I was celebrating my birthday with my husband and friends and not everyone likes sushi but that wasn't an issue as they have lots of none sushi options. Everyone enjoyed their meals, sushi, drinks, great time. The server could've been more attentive. Not sure if it was because he was too busy but the back server picked up his slack. Still had a great time and would not only recommend to others but I intend on returning ;)"

"The hamachi with with jalapeño was amazing
The terraki lobster tails fresh and presented beautifully
The sushi rolls were imaginative and beautiful.
The service was just okay, the waiter did not know where the oysters were from.
There was also confusion with the reservation but one can overlook this for the food."

"Great food as usual. Service normally excellent, and everything was going well until it came time for the check. We waited an unusually long amount of time and our server disappeared. There appeared to be some confusion as to who was taking care of us at that point. Not a huge issue as we weren't in a hurry, but worth mentioning."
