text: When it comes to sushi, I have definitely had better. A group of friends and I came here on our lunch break. We work in one of the Glendale arenas, so it was a walking-distance option for lunch. \n\nFor the lunch crowd, Kabuki is extremely deserted. As are most other places at this time in Westgate. Despite the lack of a crowd, we were only allowed to sit at the sushi bar, which was a little awkward for a group of 6, considering you have to yell across the bar to withhold conversation... \n\nAnyhow, I'm not going to make this a novel of any sorts. I ordered one of their lunch specials, which was advertised to come with 6 nigiri pieces of sushi, a california roll, and a soup or salad. I asked my waitress if I could sub out the shrimp nigiri for salmon, and she said yes but for a dollar upcharge. I agreed... For $14.99, the portion could have been MUCH more generous. The California roll was small and came with 6 1-inch diameter rolls that were haphazardly put together. The nigiri was okay, but the tuna definitely was not the freshest it could have been. My miso soup that I ordered with the meal was good, but seemed to be overpowered with tofu chunks (about half of the soup was tofu). I also ordered a side of steamed rice, which was advertised at a dollar, but the waitress rang it in as sushi rice which was a dollar expensive and not what I ordered. Needless to say, I left hungry. \n\nThe quality of the sushi is alright at best. The portion size compared to price is laughable. Compared to other places I know that have similar lunch specials, I was disappointed to say the least. I really wanted to like Kabuki, but sadly, I do not.
