Hotel Kabuki - Reviews

I didn't eat at the restaurant, but the bartender was on point with her mixology! The place is also gorgeous!

It was a nice spot to sit down, but we got four different drinks and did not particularly like any of them.

My experience at this restaurant was a tale of two halves. The service was absolutely amazing, and I cannot stress that enough. However, during a visit with a friend close to closing time, we witnessed a mouse openly scurrying across the restaurant floor. We informed the staff, but unfortunately, no action was taken to remove the pest from the premises.

My experience yesterday, May 15th, 2024, was marked by insane pricing for drinks. Draft beers were $14, and cocktails ranged from $25-29. This was absolutely outrageous, especially considering other options available not only in San Francisco but also in surrounding areas.

My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The drinks were good, which was a definite plus. However, the paying process was quite old-fashioned. I had to stand up and go to the terminal to pay, which felt inconvenient.

My experience at this bar, attached to the Hotel Kabuki, was fantastic. You don't need to be a hotel guest to enjoy it. The bartenders are true mixologists, capable of creating excellent drinks on the spot based on vague descriptions. They offer a great collection of Japanese-inspired cocktails, including a standout umeboshi, using some spirits you might not have encountered before. While the cocktails are focused on flavor with subdued visuals, which I prefer, they are not designed for Instagram. The mocktails are also expertly made. The service and atmosphere were rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5, indicating a high-quality experience across the board.

My experience at this restaurant was defined by its cozy and keenly cultural motif, which created an iconic and worldly sense of place. It truly felt like a San Francisco treasure!

My experience at this restaurant was the worst service ever. I arrived during what I believed was happy hour and inquired about the menu. The bartender provided me with regular menus and denied having any happy hour. This raises the question: why advertise happy hour if it's not offered?

My experience at the restaurant was centered around the exceptional drinks. I tried the Smoke the Hive, a complex cocktail featuring Remy VSOP, Japanese Whisky, Kabuki Honey Syrup, Gozio Amaretto, and smoked with cherry wood, topped with bee pollen. I also sampled the Little Tiki-yo, made with Bacardi Rum, Lime Juice, Orgeat, Dry Curaçao, Li Hing Mui Syrup, and a dark rum float. The bartender, Porsche, crafted these drinks skillfully. The time was 23: 25/30.

My experience at the restaurant was to relax and enjoy at the bar. However, at times the bartender was kind of slow to get a drink.
