Make sure you buy tickets in advance online to ensure the best seats!
Shows sell out quick! Get tixs early & grab a glass of wine at the balcony bar.
Make sure you're in the over-21 theaters if you plan on drinking, or be prepared for a sad sober time.
Rich ReaderSeptember 28, 2009The San Francisco International Film Festival employs the Kabuki as one of its' principal screens, and shows some of the most exotic, unusual films that you could ever hope to find.
There is a stamp machine for parking validation near the entrance.
If the main bathrooms are crowded, there's a secret lesser used one. Somewhere.
Jeff WangNovember 26, 2011Great friday night date place with great Korean and Japanese restaurants nearby
DaveOctober 7, 2015Seats are assigned, but don't delay getting to the theater. Very few coming attractions, if any.
Sit in the balcony at a table to enjoy dinner and a cocktail with your movie. You can also bring your cocktail into the upstairs theater.
Annette HunterMay 7, 2011If you see a movie in theater 4, make sure you sit toward the center, as the screen is offsset to the right!
Only wish they had a bar IN the movie. Don't want to miss the movie for round two.
Arrive early and enjoy a thematically appropriate cocktail
Amy MacKinnonJune 12, 2012Their 3D glasses made me miserable the whole movie 'cause I couldn't see anything well. Don't see 3D here!
MazdaOctober 30, 2010Pick your seats online and enjoy a cocktail in the balcony. The ultimate movie watching experience.
Love that you can bring alcohol into the theater!!!- Sean MeansJune 20, 2010Dinner with friends.followed by drinks and a 21+ showing of a G movie -- there was something profoundly comforting about the adult laughter that filled the place.
Rosa MorriseauDecember 15, 2012Ladies, pee before you come. The kabuki women's bathroom line is always at least 5 people deep.
The guy checking IDs for the bar/balcony will name a movie from your birth year! Whoever hired him should get a gold star..
antuan goodwinApril 2, 2011This is totally a date theater, especially the upper level cafe area. Don't even think about coming here alone.
They don't really shut the lights off completely during a movie. Not sure it's a good thing. Hot dogs are disastrous.
Bars are closed during the day? Sad times. An iced latte and popcorn with real butter can accompany me into this screening of Animal Kingdom
IFCJuly 6, 2010SF: Reserved seating, cocktails, popcorn with REAL butter. That's how movies should be watched. -IFC Viewer
Mabel ChungMarch 11, 2012SF International Asian American Film Festival!! It's the 30th anniversary of the largest AsAm film fest in the world
Phil HavlicekJuly 4, 2011Bring in some vegetarian burritos and buy some drinks at the bar. Try the themes ones.
Brad DayJune 11, 2011In Aud. 1 balcony, go to the cash bar at the back. The line is usually much shorter!
Balcony seating requires bottle of wine not a glass!
