A good sushi place with a rotating seasonal selection of uncommon fish. The fish is fresh, the price reasonable and the sake selection is good. Service is a bit slow though when we were there. It took about an hour for 7 types of nigiri to be served. Seems like the chefs were overwhelmed with orders even when the restaurant is just full, not packed.

Kabuto is our favorite Japanese restaurant in SF: the food (especially the fish!) is very high quality, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere / vibe is cozy and welcoming - overall, a very friendly neighborhood hangout kind of spot. Their omakase is also the best omakase deal in the city - great value for a very reasonable price.

Always treated like a king. The more money spend the more stuff you get. That's been my experience anyway.!!!!!!!!! by the end of the evening we were just being sent stuff by the chef to try. No granted there were four of us and I think all it was pushing a grand so yeah

This my favorite sushi restaurant outside of Japan. There are some great sushi experiences in the Bay Area, but here are the reasons I keep coming back to Kabuto:1. It's first and foremost a neighborhood restaurant. While the fish is elevated and sublime, you see lots of families here and locals stopping in to grab a seat at the sushi bar. It reminds me of favorite places in Tokyo.2. You can get all your standard rolls here and they are excellent versions of your go-to orders at your local place.4. The Omakase menu is sensational. The new version of the menu offers many more nigiri choices than the old one (though I miss the inclusion of the ceviche and hamachi pear in this update). The only thing I did not enjoy was the wagyu dumpling.5. The staff is friendly and attentive. The only issue o have with service is the restaurant can get loud at times and the servers can be quiet, so it can be hard to hear the description of what they are bringing you.In all, my favorite sushi in the Bay Area!
Came here on Christmas Eve as all the other higher end, top rated sushi restaurants were booked up. This neighborhood favorite did not disappoint! Excellent selection of fresh fish and most importantly excellent service…the waitress was able to suggest many different options for dietary restrictions like vegan, vegetarian, etc.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegitarian optionsKid-friendliness: Kids welcome

Been to Kabuto twice, I enjoy it every time. Kabuto is actually the restaurant that made me enjoy raw fish a 4 years ago! Everything is always so fresh and delicious! The service was impeccable! We had a male waiter and he was incredible, he gave us complimentary appetizer as well as dessert and it was amazing! Kabuto has been around awhile and it is traditional Japanese vibes inside, nothing extremely fancy, but it is home-y and always so delicious!

Holy cow their food is AMAZING. DELICIOUS and high quality. Beautifully garnished. We ate a lot, everything was awesome. Perfect combinations of flavors. The servers and chefs cared a lot about our experience. Service was attentive and thoughtful. One of the best sushi spots we've been to. Outperforms the market for value received. We'll be back ❤️
