Wife and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. We had heard good things and read reviews saying that it was worth checking out.Unfortunately, we didn't have the same experience.While the service was good, we ended up waiting for a much longer than expected time. Ended up being over an hour (1hr20m) wait for our food, even though they weren't particularly busy. I will say our waitress was very nice though.The appetizer we ordered was decent, but that was the highlight of the meal. My wife ordered 3-4 different sushi rolls and none of them got anymore than an "it's okay" from her.I don't like sushi or fish in general, so I ordered the chicken teriyaki. I tried to substitute the rice for some ramen, but was told that it's impossible without me ordering another completely different meal. So whatever, I get the regular w/riceWhile the chicken was cooked alright, I've had better sauce out of a bottle. It was pretty flavorless overall.On top of this, my wife ended up getting sick later that day into the next. Obviously we won't be visiting here again. Not nearly worth the price.

Great little sushi place with a wonderfully friendly staff to get lunch or dinner at if you're visiting Downtown NPR! Every time I visit here the experience is always delightful, when you walk in you’re greeted by staff members with sincere warmth. The servers, chefs, and all of the staff are very knowledgeable, professional, and have such a positive energy that it’s infectious. If you’re new to Asian cuisine, no question is the wrong question and they are happy to help with anything you need, because I’ve brought friends here, and even when I came my first time in June 2023, it was a bit overwhelming because of how huge the menu is! It’s definitely worth it though, and the staff is super attentive without being too intrusive, it’s the perfect balance! It’s rare that the food, service, and decor all combine to such an excellence the way Kazu’s does. Everything we ate was flavorful and delicious. It was very very delightful! It’s always very good. I personally love sitting and eating at the sushi bar because it gives you that more authentic experience watching the chefs make the meals for you, and then they hand them to you right there. The rolls are great, they have specials everyday if we want to go a more affordable route on rolls, but if you’re looking for a more specific type of roll, I highly recommend the ‘Rainbow Roll’ and the ‘Kazu’s House Roll’. The ‘Tempura Japanese Bagel Roll’ is very delicious as well, if you’re not looking for rolls, the ‘Whitefish Teriyaki’ is to die for, actually it’s to LIVE for, comes with white rice, miso soup, and it also had fried vegetables, I think it was stir fry, either way it was scrumptious! Might I emphasize how good the miso soup is, as well as the edamame, oh and the sake! The Sour Apple Sake is a must every time for me, I need to try the plum they have, they also have strawberry but you have to order it by the bottle. They have so much variety when it comes to beverages, whether they are alcoholic or not! This place has it all, definitely a lunch/dinner highlight, highly highly recommend. Keep up the good work team Kazu!Vegetarian options: Miso soupEdamameKimchiKimchi soupSeaweed saladCucumber saladHouse saladRamenSomen noodlesCucumber rollAsparagus rollAvocado rollKid-friendliness: Kids menu, indoor and outdoor dining, huge seating selection, high chairs available, always see families here.

Great food good service needs a little more help it took almost two hours to get food and eat but the sushi was on point. Atmosphere is a little outdated but that don’t change the quality of food.
If you are looking for a truly authentic sushi restaurant, then look no further. Master Kazu has no peer, having honed his craft over a lifetime. Enjoy your favorite roll, expertly crafted, or try a bowl.The restaurant is extremely clean, and the service is prompt, and the food is delicious.

Well that was awful and bizarre. Me and my husband have food poisoning from tonight’s dinner. While we were there my husband ordered chicken terriyaki, he told the waitress the chicken was cold, chewy and tons of tendons and he just wanted a California roll instead. The waitress came back and told us the MANAGER ATE MY HUSBAND’S FOOD WE SENT BACK and DOESN’T AGREE WITH HIM!!!!! what in the twighlight zone episode is happening here?!?! We were so shocked. She goes “i don’t think it’s weird it’s not a pieve you took a bite of” …WHAT???? My roll was warm, as I was eating it I was concerned already but hey who doesn’t want to loose 5 lbs overnight right. Then he tried charging us for the chicken and my husband said no please ask for this off I didn’t eat it, he did lol, waitress came back and said he was reluctant to take it off but he did and said to tell you to not order the chicken next time. We laughed and told her she could tell him, no worries i will never order the chicken again bc i will never be back. And now back home we are sick to our stomachs. Cheers.
