I've been to very, VERY few authentic Japanese restaurants. Even less with actual Japanese chefs. But this restaurant has amazing sushi. For what you're paying, you get very high quality fish. Just a warning if you're not used to it, the food will take a little time as they only have so many sushi chefs so please be patientFood: 5/5
Great service. Super friendly. Good sushi. Smaller portions. Spider roll was favorite. Crawfish roll was delicious as well.Food: 4/5
WOW, its been over 7 years since my daughter and I ate at Kazu'sback in his old location. We were so happy to stop in today, brought back good memories. The food is sooooo good here, prices are definitely lowfair. I was surprised how good it was, how much we got and how low the bill was. This place is a must go to if you live Sushi, Sashimi, or anything in that area for food. 5 STAR for sure. Will definitely be back. Thank you Kazu...
I started going here in 2008 when their location was just north of the Gulf view Mall. The food was and is still excellent, And the staff was nice, minus 1 or 2 experiences. Not bad considering I was a regular customer for lunch for several years. I was a little disappointed when they moved their location to Main Street. It is still convenient, but they are no longer open during lunch hours And that is when I would usually go. Still I give them 5 stars because the quality of the food and service has not changed. It's still great. I just wish they were still open during lunch hours.
I came in on a Wednesday night about 7:45 PM. Sat down at the sushi bar. Someone greeted me, brought over the menu, a plate, soy sauce bowl and a napkin. She said my server would be over soon. The restaurant had a large group across multiple tables, another group arrived and pushed two tables together and there were 4 of us at the sushi bar. My server, the wife, arrived and asked what did I want to drink. I placed my drink order and off she went. A few moments later she returned with my drink and took my dinner order. I eat sashimi weekly at multiple, long standing sushi restaurants in the Tampa Bay area, so I started off with the sashimi appetizer. Kazu’s fish was noticeable more tender and the delicate sweetness of the fish more present. I asked about the “Spicy Tuna Nachos”. This dish was quite tasty and fun to eat. It is similar to tuna tartare with chips at other sushi bars. I finished off with the “Firecracker”. This is made with pressed rice, not rolled rice. Kazu’s rice seems to be more tender. I noticed that the “rice-to-fish” portion is smaller than any other Tampa Bay sushi bar, creating a better eating experience. Rice is used to compliment the fish and it’s flavor in Japan. From their website… “Kazunobu Miyazato has more than 47 years experience as a sushi chef. A descendant of the Samurai Warriors of Japan, Kazu was born on the island of Okinawa and trained in Tokyo”. Kazunobu’s Samurai heritage and training are present in the details that set this sushi bar apart from the rest. I throughly enjoyed being served by such a dedicated sushi chef. I will be back, looking forward to my next meal at Kazu’s Sushi. The only reason I gave Kazu’s 4 out of 5 stars is because I placed “To Go” order of Tempura Onion Rings when I got my dinner. I ate my dinner and waited an additional 20 mins after to get my server’s attention about my “to Go” order, she immediately went to back back, brought out my order and apologized.
I worked here as a server for a little under six months before quitting and will never eat here again, primarily because I know what goes on behind the scenes. Kazu treats his employees very poorly, except for a select couple of people who are obvious favorites. My money was constantly threatened like losing tables for the simplest of mistakes and my opportunities for making more money were almost always based on the hierarchy of favoritism, not how well I actually performed my job. Besides the absurdity of the blatant favoritism, we got shouted at and scolded for every single little thing and were CONSTANTLY, obsessively micromanaged. Nothing was ever right, ever good enough for Kazu. At the best of times, his communication with us was passive aggressive and at the worst, it was either nonexistent he made his long-time server communicate with us instead of doing it himself or it was borderline hostile. All of my fellow employees were very hard-working, kind, decent humans though, which is truthfully what kept me there for so long. I was told by an outgoing employee when I started working there that people very, very rarely make it past a year because of the poor treatment. I am also aware that in the past, they lost a lawsuit against employees for making them work off the clock. Kazu puts on a good public face, coming off as this nice, friendly, Christian man, but he also isn't kind to his customers behind the scenes. I heard him bad-mouth many people, he was constantly grumping about almost any special requests or inconveniences, etc. I once had him come in the back to shout at me in my face after he overheard me asking the kitchen to put someone's chicken teriyaki in a bowl instead of on a plate it was how they asked for it because they wanted it all saucey/mixed up which he refused to do because it would be "too saucey"... Which eventually ended with me having to apologetically tell the customer that I could bring it to him on a plate and he could put it in a bowl himself, which is exactly what ended up happening, which did nothing but waste extra dishes and probably earn me a smaller tip... One of the last straws for me was when a long-time friend/customer who is beyond old enough to be my father decided to stalk me on social media, came in looking for me multiple times while I wasn't working on days that his wife wasn't with him, and then eventually asked me out in the middle of a rush. It made me extremely uncomfortable and when I explained what happened simply to ask that I not have to serve him when he came in anymore, I was told that it was my fault because I was "too friendly" with people and it "gets me in trouble" and that I needed to just "be less friendly with him next time." As for the food, some of it is decent, but most of it comes frozen or packaged and is not at all what you think you're getting. I did like some of the sushi which I had to pay full price for if I wanted to take any home but cannot support this place ever again after knowing what I know. If you care about how a place treats their employees, please do not eat here.
Really good sushi, good portions and very nice waitress. They had a good variety of entrees and appetisers. Pretty good atmosphere, fun, family friendly/friend hangout, personally a little on the loud side but enjoyed it. They were pretty fast at sitting us and getting the food to us, and were very friendly too.
Clean place with very nice staff. We ordered spring rolls, edamame, kimchi soup, and assorted sushi. Egg rolls were ok, edamame was good, kimchi soup was great, and sushi was very fresh and had nice flavors in the speciality rolls. Don’t park on the side of the building you might get towed, goad I asked :-
Kazu's Sushi has a great variety of sushi and non sushi dishes available. The food is beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious. The service is delightful.
This is my wife and I favorite sushi spot. The atmosphere is great. They just moved to a new location so the place is way bigger but still has the cozy atmosphere! The sushi is great for the price point. It's tasty it is unique you most definitely get the most for money! So if you like a good roll or even some miso soup then you need to drop by and check it out!!
