Sushi was fresh and delicious. I’m normally a nigiri without special sauce kind of guy but I must admit the sauces were tasty, creative and refreshing.

Their cocktails were so good that most of our party who initially didn’t want any ordered similar drinks.

Staff was friendly and accommodating for both our large party size and our boisterous children.

Why one less star? We ordered multiple bento boxes with unagi and it tasted off (I hope undercooked). In the same bentos they had several creative and delicious items but the main star , eel, was not edible for us.

Good luck to you Kaz sushi, thank you for an enjoyable night!

We went to Kaz on a Saturday night and it was perfect. We tried the Sampler 011 and everything was delicious. The hanger steak and baby octopus appetizers were great as well. Also, do not sleep on the specials either.

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 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. The tempura had a light crunch and wasn’t greasy, which I really appreciated. The meal was filling but not heavy, and the green tea we had on the side tied everything together nicely.

Kaz feels like one of those spots where attention to detail really shows, both in the food and the service. I'd definitely go back.

We never heard of the place and decided to try somewhere new and decided to go with the Omakase. I love Tuna and the first appetizer had tuna so we were off to a good start. The Nigiri chef and Head chef and staff were simply amazing, knowledgeable and happy to share an explain about the dishes and how their made and their flavors. One quick note, my wife has only had duck once in her life and she hated it, but this place made her love Duck. I had soft shell crab at another location and told myself I would never eat it again and this place made me love it again. We ended with a mango pannacotta. Highly recommend

Very good, as always but also the most expensive sushi I have recently (at least) had anywhere, which is really saying something in these times.

Hands down the worst dining experience I've had in DC. Our waiter was rude and impatient. The air in this place smelled stuffy and like mildew. The sushi was mediocre. I went because I saw the place had good reviews - no idea how or why! Don't go there!

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.

We have enjoyed several lunches here and have always felt satisfied. The quality is top-tier and great service.

It’s solid. It’s a little off the mark on some dishes, the quality of the fish is excellent if that’s all you want then for the cost it’s really well positioned in the city. If it’s not sushi it’s probably really tasty but a little clunky in terms of preparation. Overall a win.

I can truthfully say that I only went here because TikTok sent me, and I thought I would grab a couple of rolls to go. I apparently HAD to try the crunchy shrimp roll and also got the yellowtail. Okay, both were fine but nothing over the top as the videos made it seem. I do want to visit again and try the other far more interesting things on the menu!
