The happy hour list does not specify a serving count for these sushi items. Ask your server about the portion before comparing them with rolls.
Basic rolls
These rolls can be ordered as a six-piece cut roll or a hand roll. A hand roll is a single cone-shaped serving, so choose the cut version if you want pieces that are easier to share.

The salad menu also lists a $3 grilled-chicken add-on and a $4 chicken-breast add-on. Ask about the available preparation when ordering. Spicy Tuna Salad contains raw tuna; the name “Krab” should not be read as a promise of whole crab meat.
Specialty rolls
Specialty rolls cost more than the basic rolls but include additional toppings or preparation. The happy hour list has seven choices at Huntington Beach.

| Rose | Shrimp tempura, avocado, and spicy tuna | $10.75 |

A fried or baked element does not mean the entire roll is free of raw ingredients. Tell your server if you need every ingredient fully cooked.

Dietary choices and rewards
Kabuki marks the sautéed asparagus and cucumber, avocado, and vegetable rolls as vegetarian on its menu. Ask about sauces, preparation, and shared equipment if you have dietary restrictions. Kabuki’s FAQ states that its miso soup uses fish broth, so it is not vegetarian.
Raw fish, shellfish, dairy, sesame, wheat, and soy can appear across these dishes; some rolls also contain smelt egg. Ask staff for ingredient and allergen information rather than relying on a dish name alone. Verified calorie figures are not supplied for this happy hour list.
Red Mask Club benefits have their own terms. The published birthday-benefit rules exclude happy hour purchases, so do not assume you can combine that benefit with these prices.
