This is a late post, oh well. I’m still adjusting to this >_>
So I recently turned 21! I decided to have it at Kabuki at Bella Terra in Huntington Beach. The restaurant serves your typical (basic) Japanese food served on white plates and pretty platters. No Japanese street food here. It also has some “fancy” fusion stuff. Honestly, it’s not the best Japanese food you can get and it certainly is not the most authentic. However, I like this place for one thing: it’s Happy Hour from 3pm-6pm on weekdays! It’s not a big happy hour menu but it has a few specialty rolls for $6 or less. A few of the appetizers are $5 or less. I believe my boyfriend and I managed to spend around $40 worth of food during happy hour one time.

Anyway, so 21! I ordered a Pomegranate Saketini, it was quite tart. As for being a martini made of of sake, I can’t really compare it to anything because it was my first martini ever.. I was able to taste both the alcohol and pomegranate though.
I ordered a shrimp tempura roll but for some reason I did not take a picture of it. It’s like your everyday crunchy roll except it’s a little fatter, more thinly cut, and cucumber instead of avocado.

Gold Rush Roll is just a tempura battered California roll with eel sauce. Yum! But it can feel quite heavy after eating

The service was okay, the servers were nice. The feel of the place is quite nice and modern. Again, it’s not the best place for REAL Japanese food, but I think it’s decent enough for Happy Hour every once in a while.
