★★★★★ 5.0 Sherrine M. Thompson · Aug 2025

I had a great lunch at Kaz Sushi Bistro with a few colleagues recently. The food was excellent, and the experience overall felt relaxed and thoughtful. Our server really stood out. She was super attentive, friendly, and very accommodating with a few menu adjustments we needed. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento, which usually comes with seaweed salad, agedashi tofu, miso soup, rice, and a green salad. I asked to swap the seaweed salad for a regular green salad and opted to skip the miso soup. When I found out the agedashi tofu was prepared with fish sauce, our server didn’t hesitate to offer a substitute and brought out vegetable tempura instead, which turned out to be a great choice. The chicken teriyaki was tender and flavorful, and the salad was crisp and fresh with a nice dressing.

For those who are truly passionate about sushi, I highly recommend this place. The menu offers both Traditional Sushi, featuring authentic Japanese-style sushi, and Chef’s Special Original Sushi, which adds unique flavors—both were excellent. Besides sushi, there are plenty of light dishes to enjoy. The seaweed salad, agedashi tofu, and octopus were especially delicious. The atmosphere is not overly luxurious but has a slightly relaxed feel, making it more comfortable. Thanks to that, the prices are also very reasonable.

I took my fiancee for her birthday, and she really liked it. We each got a sashimi moriawase and shared a bottle of sake. Staff was friendly, restaurant itself was cozy. We definitely want to go back

wonderful lunch spot! A hidden gem conveniently located in the heart of the city, close to the metro and surrounded by offices. The restaurant manager and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommended! love the Matcha ice cream with tequila

I really enjoyed my meal here. I had so much sushi at the counter and it was so fresh. The staff was quick, friendly, and pretty funny. The gentlemen behind the counter answered questions about the pieces of sushi that were new to me, such as the salmon eggs. I am giving the food a 4/5 because unfortunately I did not feel well later that night after eating there, but it’s possible that the heat played a roll or I tried new fish in the chef’s selection that didn’t agree with my stomach. I guess just be cautious of trying new rolls.
