Kabuki Cafe

Teriyaki chicken with ginger salad 10/10 very good and honestly one of the healthiest meals I found in all of the parks

They provide a tasteful, decent treat during the food festival.

Kabuki Cafe is located in Japan, World Showcase in Epcot. It has a variety of items such as Sushi and Sake, but for me the best thing to get on a hot Florida day is the Kakigore. This is basically a Japanese shave ice. It’s actually more like a snow cone, since shave ice has a much finer/sifter texture of ice. Shave ice is still better in my opinion, but this is still refreshing on a hot day.

This cute Japanese spot in the Epcot World Showcase Center is just the place if you’re looking for refreshing shaved ice desserts and to fix your sushi cravings. The booth itself is beautifully decorated with traditional Japanese imagery and wood furnishings. The Cast Members are super friendly and have the brightest of smiles! I got their Blue-raspberry Shaved Ice, and my fiancé got their Cherry Shaved Ice. Both were great portions, refreshing, tangy, and delicious! The Blue-raspberry flavour they used wasn’t sickly-sweet, and was evenly put all over the shaved ice. It was the perfect treat to have to beat the Florida Summer heat. Their sushi is premade, but fresh. I really liked their spicy salmon rolls! I definitely recommend this spot for your Japanese cuisine cravings. I will absolutely be back for more of their refreshing shaved ice!

We were looking for something to quench our thirst. We found just the item in Japan Pavilion. Here at Kabuki Café, the staffs with sweet smiles greeted us, and yes, they were Japanese! They offer some snacks like edamame, sushi, and some Japanese beer & sake! We wanted one of their kakigori, and while struggling to pick one, one of the female staff told us we can get “rainbow” that comes with three of the most popular flavors. Sold! We got Rainbow Kakigori. It was a good size, especially for the cheap price tag. Tall and packed, and I mean, really packed. We didn’t realize how tightly they packed the ice until we started to “try” to eat it… We had to jam our plastic spoon into it a few time to get a piece, but if we were not too careful, it will just fly into the air with the force! I wish if they didn’t pack the ice so much… Otherwise, it was refreshing and tasty. After we were already eating them, I realized I could’ve have gotten the “sweet milk topping” which is like a drizzle of condensed milk on top for another $1. Well, it was less sweet and more refreshing without it, so I was fine with that.

This is the place you want to hit up on a hot, humid summer day! The price is on point for Disney standards and the cast member is extremely kind and friendly. I got the rainbow with sweet milk topping. It hit the spot. I really recommend hit this place up.

Quick service and decent sushi as it's premade, but tasted fresh! Shaved ice hit the spot on a hot humid summer day! I'll surely be back!

Got sushi. It is a snack stand but it was the only time I was given something in a plastic container. The Sushi was good but was definitely expecting better presentation. Cast members just grabbed on out the fridge. Felt very awkward with 3 cast members standing talking as I walked up. I felt like I was interrupting their day as I went through the transaction....

the sake slushie is the best!!! highly recommend! honestly this is one of my favorite places to go to in Epcot. I love coming here every time as the kakigori is on point & you can always get something alcoholic here over ice!

A bit disappointed during my visit here. Stopped here shortly after opening. They didn't have any sushi and said they were out. My boyfriend ended up getting Nigori Sake, which he stated he did enjoy. He said it was also unfiltered. I'm still mad about no sushi.

Cute little shaved ice stand located in Epcot's Japan! I was craving something cold and refreshing for a hot day, so this was perfect. I got the Kakigōri with Sweet Milk Topping, which was the rainbow shaved ice, with flavors strawberry, melon, cherry, tangerine and blue raspberry, and topped with condensed milk. I was actually disappointed with the shaved ice consistency, since it was super crunchy with huge ice chunks, and I had to chew a lot of part of it. However the flavors were delicious, the amount of the condensed milk was generous, and the workers were so sweet! The portion is pretty big, so if you're not super hungry I recommend sharing it with someone. They also had alcoholic versions available with infused Sake. If you like your shaved ice on the softer, melt-in-your-mouth side, then it'll probably be a skip. However if you're looking for a refreshing treat on a hot day, then this is the place to be!

I ordered the cold sake and iced matcha latte here. The matcha latte came with 3 pumps of vanilla syrup and you can ask for it to be less sweet. I kept it as is and didn't think the drink was too sweet. It tasted better than Starbucks's matcha lattes but the bar is still low. The matcha flavor is light and not grassy. The drink is milky overall. The matcha powder isn't well sifted and there's a bunch of powder clumps everywhere. If you're craving or desperate for matcha and don't want Starbucks, this is the place to go. I don't recommend this otherwise. Go try other Epcot foods!

I really enjoyed the flavor of the melon option. Strawberry was great too! What fell flat for me was the ice texture. It didn't real feel any different than traditional snow cones so I was not super impressed. The flavor drains from the snow cone pretty quickly! After a few minutes, I had no more syrup in the top layer of ice so I ended up throwing it away. The bottom (cup) had all the flavor and it was good! A solid cool treat! But felt no different than a normal snow cone.

Yet another small walk up stand to get a sweet treat. The Kabuki Cafe has some of the best shaved ice. They offer drinks as well, but on a hot day like today we chose the cherry and blue raspberry shaved ice. Service was ok, but the shaved ice was the star of the show. Not too hard and easy to dig in with a spoon. It didn't melt too fast and we were able to sit and enjoy it while watching a show. It was flavorful and not messy at all.

Located in the Japanese area within Epcot is Kabuki Cafe. I was drawn to it by the shaved ice on display. Walking around in 95 degree heat, it's hard to bear shaved ice. Perhaps it was the heat, but shaved ice never tasted so good. We got the rainbow, which is a mix of melon and strawberry, and a cherry with sweet milk topping, I would recommend getting the milk topping as it adds a creaminess to the sugar.

After lunch at Epcot, we walked around several of the other pavilions, checking out the grocery store in Japan and getting a rainbow kaki gori at one of the stands nearby. The kaki gori is shaved ice with Strawberry, Cherry, Melon, and Tangerine. Add some sweet condensed milk on top to make it extra delicious. You will probably need help to finish this one, but it's a Disney favorite treat, so make sure you get one before you leave the park. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's the perfect drink on a hot day!

I had the amazing Kakigōri with sweet milk topping Japanese Shaved Ice available in Rainbow and it was really good. It is a perfect dessert for Epcot and it is great for photos.

I forgot to take a photo! I have never had Japanese Ice, my daughter and I shared a cherry/ blue raspberry. It was so good, I had to fight for my share! Lol Very light yet refreshing! Sweet. 10/10 $6.38 cent with tax.

This is a pre-COVID-19 review. This is a snow cone, not real kakigori. I don't like eating large chunks of ice when I am promised the small flakes of snow like real kakigori. Maybe my standards are too high but I can't support calling these snow cones kakigori because they aren't even close to the real thing. The flavors were good. The strawberry was not the best flavor and it was not close to the strawberry flavoring they have in Japan. The mandarin was the best and it actually tasted like a mandarin orange. The sweet milk on the top is nice, but I don't know if it's worth the upcharge. Overall if you want a snow cone, then this is the place for you. If you want authentic kakigori, this is disappointing.

If you're in the Japan Pavilion and need a light snack, Kabuki Cafe may fit what you're after. It's a kiosk in World Showcase serving up Kakigori (Japanese shaved ice) in 6 flavors, a few sushi rolls (California, Tuna & Shrimp and Crab & Veggies), Edamame, then some alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The specialty libations at Kabuki Cafe are surely the Sake Mists! They come in Blood Orange, Coconut Pineapple & Blackberry alcoholic shaved ices. The people working at Kabuki Cafe are always super nice and I think it's one of the cheapest places to grab a snack at Disney World. Kakigori will only run you $4 for a huge & colorful treat! And as far as snacks go, it's fairly healthy...? I mean, it's just ice with some flavoring so long as you don't add the condensed milk, you're golden! If you want to adult it up, add some sake for an additional $5. I'm all about this cute stand in Japan!

Does not live up to typical Disney standards of service. We were here at 3pm on 1/27/2023. We made our drink order and asked if we could also have a cup of ice and was flatly refused, though our previous requests for a cup of ice at this exact location was cheerfully accommodated. The server/cashier was very cold and abrupt throughout our interaction. I don't really care about a cup of ice and would have paid for it if that's the issue. The attitude we experienced belongs in a gas station convenience store, not Disney

I was looking for a sweet treat, so the Japanese frozen ice was an appealing option. This eatery is in a small building right in front of where the Japanese drummers perform. I recommend grabbing a snack or drink and sitting down to listen to music. There is a good selection of frozen ice to pick from, flavors include rainbow, strawberry, melon, tangerine and blue raspberry. I paid $4 plus tax for my ice. Portion size was quite generous and would be ideal for two people to split. They offer price boozy drinks like beer, sake and wine. I see they have a Sake Mist which is an alcoholic shaved ice, that definitely sounds intriguing, but pricey at $9. There are also a few sushi options on the menu. I had strawberry ice and I'd give it a 3 out of 5. I had recently had a frozen ice outside of Disney that was the BOMB, this one was just average.

Need to be in EPCOT to enjoy this. Awesome shaved ice with or without alcohol and amazing sushi!!

Delicious shaved ice topped with condensed milk. I had the melon flavored shaved ice; it was perfect! My niece had the strawberry flavored which was also delicious. You must ask for condensed milk which is a dollar extra, but worth every penny. They also sell saki shaved ice which I didn't try.

The Frozen Kirin is an awesome twist to your traditional beer. It's super cold with some yummy froth on top, making it the perfect cocktail to deal with the Orlando heat and humidity. My boyfriend wanted to try each Country's signature drink and this was first on the list. It's definitely worth trying if you're a fan of yummy beverages.

Lots of cool refreshments and snacks. Kabuki Cafe is not a cafe, per se, but a small kiosk located in the Japan Pavilion of Epcot. Here, you will find Kakigōri, which is Japanese shaved ice. The available flavors are Rainbow, Strawberry, Melon, Cherry, or Tangerine. It's decently priced at $4, and for a dollar more, you can add a sweet milk topping. I highly recommend it with the sweet milk. Shaved ice is a great dessert option to cool down as you walk through the Pavilion. They also sell a lot of alcoholic beverages. Some of the options I saw were Sapporo, Asahi, Kirin, plum wine, and other sake drinks. Prices range from $6 to $13. You will also find overpriced Dasani water ($3), hot chocolate, edamame (soybeans), Ramune, and sodas. Another interesting option is sushi, they offer either California rolls (Avocado, Cucumber, Crab, Mayonnaise, Smelt Roe Rolled in Sushi Rice), HAKO Sushi ("Box Style" Salmon, Tuna and Shrimp), or a combination (Two pieces of California Roll with Salmon and Shrimp Hako-Sushi) for around $5 a box.

Kabuki looked like a small concession stand.I was just looking for some small bite.I found 3 pieces of nigiri sushi for $5.It was okay.Here was a cheap and small casual dining.I checked other reviews,it seems that Kabuki has a great kakigori ice.It will be delicious in summer.I visited in January.it was bit cold.I will try next time.

This is mainly on the drink we got. We drank around the world and we got the Blood Orange Sake Mist and Hot Sake. We rated the Blood Orange Sake Mist 6.7 out of 10 and the Hot Sake 5.2 out of 10.

Shaved rainbow ice (strawberry, melon, cherry & tangerine) was $4 for a huge cup. I thought it tasted very good, and was very refreshing on a hot Florida day.

Yes the kakigori (Japanese shaved ice) is incredible, but have y'all tried the FROZEN KIRIN?!? The best beer in all of Disney World!!!!!! THE BEST! Maybe because I can't get it at home, but I crave this thing. Always on my must drink at Epcot list, no visit is complete without one. Ice cold Kirin with FROZEN FOAM ON TOP!!! Keeps the beer nice and cold on a hot Florida day, nothing better.

I literally have gone here three times due to the fact that the shaved ice is so delicious. It is the best shaved ice I've ever had in my entire life. I even had it when it was only 75-80° outside so I know that it wasn't due to me being delusional from being too hot. You definitely need to get it with the sweetened condensed milk for the extra $1. It is so worth it!!! Unfortunately, it is not included in the Disney Dining Plan (DDP) and you have to pay extra for it even if you use a snack credit. There is rarely a line at this place and I don't know why. People are crazy if they go to Epcot and don't have this. The ladies are always super friendly and we get our shaved ice so fast. It's like they can read my mind. I could literally eat this every day and never tire of it. My favorite flavor is melon! Enjoy!!!

Whenever I go to Epcot, I try to visit this place. I love their shaved ice. Make sure to get it with sweet milk (condensed milk)! I love it. I always get the rainbow flavors (I believe it's melon, orange, and strawberry).

Your run of the mill food stand in Epcot. They serve awesome shaved ice in several flavors. Try them with sweetened condensed milk, you will not be sorry! I enjoyed my blood orange sake flavor, they aren't stingy with the syrup. They also serve sushi here, its in a convenient to go container for a quick snack. This is a treat, especially on hot summer days. Epcot visitors shouldn't pass this up.

Kabuki Cafe is located in Epcot (one of the four parks in Disneyworld) as part of Japan. We ordered the Rainbow Shaved Ice, which came in three different flavors: Strawberry, Orange, and Green Apple. It was a bit pricey, but you are in Disneyworld after all... Really refreshing and flavorful though. It made the walk just a little bit better as you're walking through the different countries in Epcot. :)

We had the pineapple/coconut Sake mist. Very delish and dangerous! You do not even taste the alcohol.

This place is a must-try if you're passing by the Japan Pavilion on a hot sunny day. I had the rainbow shaved ice which consists of strawberry, tangerine, and melon. It was very refreshing and I enjoyed all three flavors, though melon was definitely my favorite. Price-wise, it'll cost you $3.75 (plus an additional $1 for their condensed milk topping), which is an absolute steal for theme park food. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough condensed milk for the mountain of the shaved ice.

Shaved ice is excellent. Huge serving. We had cherry with no milk or sake. Syrup went all the way to the bottom. Would highly recommend. Great for sharing. We had this while there was a snow storm back in OH and they called off school! Lol

I love anywhere that serves good Japanese food, and here it is counter service to boot. If you cannot get a table at the sit down Mitsukoshi restaurant, but really want Japanese food; eat here. It is less pricey and hardly any wait. They have udon, teriyaki, sushi, katsu, and combo plates. I have always enjoyed eating here and will continue to dine here whenever I go to EPCOT.

If there's one reason to love Epcot, aside from finally realizing that education is cool and it doesn't have to always be about some stupid Princess castle or animal kingdom, it's for the food. Yes, the food. Epcot is amazing when it comes to various food treats from literally around the world. You can go get your sausage from the Germany-land, though be careful they don't invade the Poland Mover.... Okay, you get the point. The food selection in all these little representations of ethnic homelands is amazing. But Kabuki Cafe is among one of the few places in America that you can get and enjoy something that is truly amazing. A Frozen Kirin draft beer. Yes, it's beer but in a sort of frozen treat. Much like the other Disney deliciousness called a Pineapple Whip. Same thing. It's frozen Kirin with a topping of delicious frozen goodness of beer. Yeah, it's kept cold with more colder beer. What will science think of next?! As long as they're looking out for you in the humid wall of heat that is Orlando weather, I'm a-okay with it. The drink/frozen treat runs you $8, which is pretty damn cheap for Disney in-park prices for food. Try it, you'll love it!

For their sushi combo I can only give a three star. Maybe their shaved ice is as good as described in other reviews but I didn't feel like that and the sushi combo has a lot of rice and little fish. Not bad if you need a little snack to tie you over.

It's hot most of days in Orlando. Try their shaved ice with sweet milk on top. Great snack that would make you feel cool.

DUring my 9 day trip to Florida, I stopped by here twice! I just fell in love with the Japanese shaved ice. Oooh it was sooo good. Especially with the milk topping they put on it. I loved that I was able to eat it at night because it wasn't cold. I recommend getting the shaved ice!

Expensive Disney counter food, but there is a nice outdoor garden seating area. The curry is good. The teriyaki dishes are a little dry and the miso was strange, but not a bad option for dining at EPCOT.

Very good service, I really enjoyed the Japanese curry. Try it with the little spicy seasoning packet and get an iced green tea too.

After a long hot walk in humid Florida weather, there's nothing more refreshing than having kakigōri (a large helping of shaved ice doused with syrup). It's not as heavy as ice cream and easier to eat than popsicles. When I saw this stand at the Japanese section, I ordered two, a Rainbow and a Tangerine. When I went to the stand, there was only one person ahead of me. By the time I placed the order, the line had formed to a half dozen people, each ordering a similar item.
