"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!"
