Kabuki

Located in the heart of Nungambakkam. Good food. Excellent and friendly service. Limited in number but adequate options for vegetarians, though one would imagine there would be more, given the local customer eating preference. Cucumber Sushi Roll and Avacado Sushi Rolls were good. Veggie Tempura was very good, but served in the form of a sushi roll, and not in a fried vegetable form as served elsewhere. Noodles and fried rice were good. In my opinion the price seemed higher than the local customers might be willing to pay, but time will tell if they have priced it right.

If you love authentic Japanese food you got to visit this place. We started our dinner with a sushi California Roll and moved on to individual portions of steak don ( beef steak and onion rice bowl) tempura don ( vegetables and prawn tempura rice bowl) Things you need to be aware, japanese food has strong flavours it is not for all. If you love those flavours you will love the food. Else be open to try new flavours. They do have a bar inside so if you care for a drink say cheers! Prices are definitely on the higher side . Per Person minimum 1000 to 1500 for one starter and one main course. We did not find any desserts in the menu!

Had my first 3 course Japanese meal in an authentic Japanese restaurant at @kabukichennai in Nungambakkam Chennai. Though I had my share of reservations about Japanese food generally being a little bland for the Indian palatte, Kabuki totally dispelled that More than that , the no of vegetarian options were quite impressive and even the famous Japanese food, Sushi had more than 2-3 varieties in Vegetarian itself They customize the dishes based on your requirement , retaining the authentic flavor which seems to be the highlight here. I had the Veg Tempura, Veg Yakisoba (noodles with mixed vegetables), Sauteed vegetables, Kimchi and Natto Roll Sushi. This has totally opened my eyes to experimenting with international cuisines esp Japanese or Chinese. And guess what they have a separate Karaoke room as well for small groups. Don't miss it :) Drinks are also available with selected happy hours as well.

The best part is, they even cater to the Indian cuisine & can tweak the dishes as required. This is located on Nungambakkam High Road - just opposite to the newly opened Karachi bakery.

A portion of it is dedicate for “Cherry Blossom” as well. The term Kabuki actually means Dance, Music & Art(KA-Abu-Ki). I was given this information by Karthik Murali H. Thank You Karthik for the detailed explanation. They also have a LIVE Bar and the bartender does an excellent job by catering to your needs - you name it, you have it - be it a Cocktail or Mocktail. They are open for Corporate Bookings. Karaoke can be played if you’re coming in a group. You’ll leave with pleasant memories for sure. About the Food: We tasted the best of the Japanese delicacies at @kabukichennai We ordered a few starters and Mocktails before proceeding to the main dish. The list includes: 1) Chicken Karaage 2) Tofu with Crabmeat sauce 3) Chicken Gyozu with dumplings 4) Veg Mix Rolls (Sushi) 5) Crab Cream Korokke 6) Spicy Sesame Ramen with Boiled Egg 7) Mixed Fried Rice(Chicken & Prawn) 8) Burnt Garlic Fried Rice 9) Mocktails Each and every dish certainly deserves an appreciation as they brought us the authentic taste of the Japanese Cuisine. You should eat it without having any expectations since their cuisine is definitely different than ours. We loved each and every dish that was served with professionalism & affection. Do not forget to try their burnt garlic rice. They were prepared with the authentic sticky rice. When it comes to mocktails, though they have a preset menu, do ask the bartender for suggestions. He can give you some of the best ones. If you are t familiar using the chopsticks 🥢, they provide fork & spoon. I must say that I had a great time since each and every dish had a different taste which satisfied my taste buds and that of my friends.
