Kabuki Japanese Restaurant will keep rolling sushi at Crown Center


- Crown Center
- The sushi will still be rolled at Kabuki.
California rolls are staying at Crown Center. The Kansas City Business Journal reports that Kabuki Japanese Restaurant has resolved its suit with Crown Center Redevelopment Corp. over back rent and will remain in its space at 2450 Grand.
Kabuki is one of the city’s oldest sushi joints, having opened in 1985. Back in 2002, Charles Ferruzza reviewed Kabuki (it has since been renovated) and had high praise for the Spiderman roll:
“Kabuki’s Spiderman roll (which had its name long before the current hit movie) was a delectable combination of avocado, cucumber, radish sprouts and crispy-fried soft-shell crab wrapped in seaweed and sprinkled with garnet-red tobiko caviar,” Ferruzza wrote. “The crunch of the crab, the silky softness of the avocado and the salty burst from the caviar made for a few lush and sensual bites.”
So just like Hollywood, Kabuki will keep making a new Spiderman.
