Service great, atmosphere 100, food was okay. I think I was just expecting something different.Dietary restrictions: Fish allergy, there were no alternative broths for a dish I wanted.Kid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly. No kids menu, kids drink selection (uncarbonated or un-caffinated) and no training chopsticks available.

I had a superb experience this weekend. The Pad Ke Mao was seasoned perfectly, just enough spice (but beware if you have a mild palate!), tender noodles. Our server was friendly and helped us through the menu. Looking forward to the next time already.

I really enjoyed my dinner at Kaizen! The atmosphere is very calm and laidback. The service was great. I ordered the fried eggplant bun and the mushroom fried rice. Both were delicious. The portion size for the fried rice is enough for to take some leftovers! It was well seasoned too. I would have liked more mushrooms and more of the curry flavor it had as well.

I’ve ordered quite a few times from here and this time for takeout I tried the double fried pork and a Thai sausage bun that I just ate too fast before I even took a picture entre with fried peppers and it was SO DAMN

Lemongrass and chicken noodles were swimming in sauce that was so salty and greasy that it was difficult to eat. Also do not recommend the appetizer steamed buns containing tasteless food in grease saturated batter and eggplant was the worst one. Quality similar to a poor quality chinese restaurant with prices of a high end eatery.

Absolutely delicious!!! We loved everything we tried. I didn’t get any pictures of the food because it was gone so quickly. Service was great and we didn’t get rushed. Definitely will be back.Atmosphere is the only thing I’d knock down one and that’s because the type of building/room doesn’t absorb sound so it got very loud when it was crowded (which can’t be helped). No big deal but something to consider depending on what type of experience you want.

Overall was good but not “Wow”. The presentation of the food was fantastic!!! But favor is a personal choice and we just didn’t love the seasoning of the food. Everything was cooked correctly and we really wanted to love the food but it just didn’t hit right with us. The service also was just ok. Several times of waiting around with no one around to refill a glass or when we had our food they didn’t come back in a couple minutes. Consequently, we wanted something to put on the food and no one was around for about 10 mins.Good place and would try again.

Since moving here, we’re in Old City every other weekend. We miss many of the Asian dishes in NYC and Kaizen looked promising because the atmosphere and the menu look ideal.Unfortunately, the food was a total miss. The wait staff suggested the Stir fry lemongrass chicken noodle soup, and it was bland with Frito chips on top of it. My wife had the duck noodle soup and everything had one flavor, instead of being more complex. The gyozas were pockets of oil that we couldn’t finish.We wish the food was better but will not be returning.

I’ve been wanting to eat here for awhile and the food and service were great! The gyoza and lumpia were super tasty and so was my husbands mushroom shoyu noodles with wagyu. I ordered the lemongrass chicken and its was kinda boring and needed more flavor and definitely more chicken but that was my fault for ordering it against my gut. The bao buns were pretty good too- I liked the pork belly the best. Our server was attentive and friendly and gave great recommendations. Overall I highly recommend and was a great experience.

We dropped in on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed our steamed buns and rice dishes.
The duck hot and sour noodles, it's entirely amazing. I can't speak for much of the rest of the menu as whenever I'm there I always get the duck noodles. Staff and ambiance is good.

Amazing healthy comfort food with the tofu dish. The menu looked really small but everything looked and smelled so delicious. The portions were good for a hungry person or too much not to take some home. The seats could have been padded but we sat there for a while.
