KABUKI - Japanese restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

A small, cozy little place on Le Thanh Ton street which serves decent rice balls and other japanese dishes. We found the rice balls to be a bit lacking in filling, although the grain they used were legit. Good if you're looking for a quick meal while walking through the area.

- Restaurant: Small and cozy, with 4 tables and a counter seating area. - Service: Polite and lovely staff. They offered very enthusiastic menu recommendations. - Price: Average. Similar to other Japanese restaurants. - Food: There were dishes I liked and some I didn't. .Onigiri (Rice Balls): Delicious. The pickled daikon radish served with it was also tasty and well-suited. .Seaweed Udon: The broth was very light and easy to eat. .Beef Udon: The beef was tender. However, the broth was a bit too sweet. The onsen tamago (soft-boiled egg) seems to have been cooked a bit too long; it was quite firm. .Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken): Bad. It was probably the worst fried chicken I've ever had at all the Japanese restaurants I've been to. .Edamame: Good. .Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings): Average. With the beef udon & 1 onigiri combo, I was very full. The food was quite good portions. However, apart from the onigiri, I didn't find the other dishes particularly special. Maybe will comeback for onigiri.

Found that place when i were on my evening ride. I chose a bowl of Udon and 1 octopus rice ball. The udon was delicious while the rice ball was a little bit bland to me. But staffs were nice and the location was on the right spot of tourist!!

No so okay place for new experience. The food is average, my ramen is decent with a meaty, creamy broth, pretty smooth (a bit too much msg for me tho). The chicken and the noodles are quite hard so you should wanna keep it in the broth for a while. There are many choices for onigiri and they taste quite okay to me, the rice, the fish roe combined well. Although the staffs are very friendly and supportive, the place is too small so you can hear the cooking sound a bit loud as well as the smell afterwards is quite bad since the kitchen hood is weak.

nice little new onigiri spot in saigon! they make legit onigiris! 12 different ones to choose from! owner is legit japanese too so u know its gonna be good! she was very humble too! i tried the braised pork miso ramen - a dry ramen with a side soup of meat sauce(?) of which you apparently pour it over your noodles. pretty decent but on the saltier side i found all the items with "sauce" to be flavoured on the saltier side... but it still doesnt take away from the fact of the quality of food and humbleness this place has to offer! definitely will be back!
