★★★★★ 5.0 Cindy Charlottesville · Jan 2026

This place never disappoints. The only qualms I have at this restaurant is the seating is very limited and the bathroom is for employees and guests. The grilled scallops are some of the best I've had anywhere, the fried oysters are divine, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Oh, and the sushi is just ok. It's honestly not the best, but truly hits the spot better than grocery store sushi ever could.

Kabuto is exactly what you hope for when you pull up to a Japanese spot tucked into a Pantops strip mall—nothing fancy, but solid food that delivers. The décor inside isn’t winning any awards, but let’s be real: you're not here for the ambiance. You’re here for well-seasoned hibachi and sushi that hits the spot without breaking the bank. I highly recommend the chicken and steak combo with rice—everything was cooked just right, and the sweet sauce paired perfectly with the fried rice. Sushi-wise, the California, M16, and UVA rolls were all excellent. The eel on the UVA roll was sticky, sweet, and straight-up addicting. Also worth mentioning: the miso soup was light and refreshing, a nice way to start the meal. All in all, Kabuto is a great go-to if you're craving Japanese food on this sid

My family has been coming here for years. The hibachi chicken and house soup are always delicious, and the staff are wonderful.

This place is awesome! I’ve been coming in for lunch for a few months now and I have never been let down. I’ve probably been there 50 times. Tremendous consistency. Whoever cooks the food and makes the sushi knows what they are doing! They also don’t cut corners on quality. Their soup and their fried rice are rich with ingredients (onions, mushrooms, etc) Staff is very friendly and they run a really efficient operation. 10/10 would recommend!

In town for a conference. order lunch sushi 3 roll.. disappointing... mostly rice, very little filling. the roll was the thickness of a finger.. I could taste no filling at all.. Ive been eating sushi most of my adult life and I have NEVER had anything this bad...waste of $20 which included a $3 tip.. sad... I would not return.. I should have known when the place had 2 people at the peak of lunch hour...
