Located in the heart of Seal Beach, Kabuto Restaurant brings the authentic flavors of Japan straight to your plate. Specializing in Japanese and sushi cuisine, this charming eatery offers a satisfying blend of freshness, tradition, and vibrant taste that sets it apart from typical sushi spots.
The menu at Kabuto is a treasure trove for sushi lovers and Japanese food enthusiasts alike. Standouts include the Tiger Roll, a delectable combination of shrimp tempura with salmon and albacore draped on top, all finished with a spicy ponzu sauce that adds a subtle tang and heat—this roll paints a perfect picture of complex flavors balanced with a tender crispness. The Super California Roll and Family Roll Pack are ideal for those who want to share a variety of tastes, while the Beef Bowl offers a savory warmth for those in the mood for something hearty yet refined.
For a true sushi connoisseur, Kabuto serves pristine nigiri selections like the buttery Albacore Nigiri and the fresh, melt-in-your-mouth Yellow Tail Jalapeno Roll, which delivers a gentle kick thanks to the jalapeno—a perfect harmony of cool and spice. The spicy tuna options, from the elegantly simple Spicy Tuna Roll to the more adventurous Tuna Serrano Roll, offer brilliant layers of flavor with each bite.
The side dishes complement the main offerings perfectly. Try the Mix Tempura Appetizer with its crisp batter enveloping fresh vegetables and shrimp, or the Garlic Edamame, which offers a fragrant, savory twist on a classic starter. The Miso Soup and Seaweed Salad add refreshing, light elements to balance the meal.
Customers consistently rave about Kabuto’s fresh fish and expertly prepared rice—"just like in Japan," as one regular puts it. The quality of ingredients shines through every dish, inviting repeat visits and long-lasting cravings. The generous portions, especially in the family packs, provide excellent value for sharing and sampling a broad spectrum of flavors.
Beyond the food, Kabuto offers a casual, clean dining atmosphere where the air conditioning cools the space on warm days, making for a comfortable and inviting experience whether you're dining in or picking up takeout. The staff’s friendly and attentive service enhances the overall enjoyment, ensuring every visit feels personal and welcoming.

I'm staying at the Hampton in right next to this restaurant so I figured I'd try it for dinner and I am glad I did. I ordered the teriyaki chicken box which came with enough for 2 people for a great price. Will be back before I leave.
The Best sushi around! The rice is perfect just like in Japan and the fish is very fresh! I crave this place on a weekly basis. Very reasonably priced too. This place is a must! Great service as well!
Wish this a small real Japanese restaurant will be open on weekends. Came here on Friday a few months ago. It was amazing real sushi, sake, atmosphere. Food is fresh and real!
We love this restaurant! The sushi and Kabuto boxes are awesome, the ingredients are always fresh, and the staff is friendly. This is our go to for affordable take out
This eatery offers a casual dining experience for fresh sushi. My son is employed at Boeing adjacent to the restaurant, making it an ideal location for lunch and visits. The restaurant maintains a very clean environment complemented by effective air conditioning. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring that the quality of the food served remains high. I find the portions to be generous on the fresh fish and the rice to fish ratio on the rolls is spot-on and authentic. Did I mention it was Oishii/delicious? I strongly recommend Kabuto.
I can only speak for the beef and chicken boxes as I'm not big on sushi, but this place is excellent. Food is delicious, reasonably priced, and comes out quick. I think I ate here everyday this week while I was in the area for work and the staff was very nice every time. Looking forward to coming back again next time I'm in this area. While I didn't try it myself, I did overhear several other people say how good the sushi is.
I ordered the super California roll and my friend ordered the tiger roll. Both were delicious but mine was definitely the best because the super California roll comes with eel on the top!! However, the rolls were a bit on the smaller side. I wish they were just a little bigger! There’s plenty of seating inside and it’s very clean. Best of all, you don’t have to worry about parking—the lot was pretty empty when I visited on a Thursday night!
Love the Dragon bowl. Delicious, fresh beef and chicken served over fluffy rice. Served with veggies and edamame. Teriyaki sauce is some of the best I've had. This place also has really good rolls too.
