Sushi by Kazu Japanese Restaurant

Sometimes reviews don’t need to be about the food… They need to be about the service. I have always had excellent food at this place. Yesterday, went to make a reservation on Google for two people at 6:00 PM. Google couldn’t accept the reservation and kept trying all day. Finally, we went to the restaurant at 6 PM only to have a very rude, and inexperienced young hostess look at us and say there’s an hour and a half wait and begin to walk away. I said wait a minute… I kept trying to make the reservation and nobody called me back to confirm. She simply said oh we don’t take reservations to which I said well… Then you should fix it online to not let people think that you do. While talking to her and looking around, I noticed almost 6 empty tables and one right in the middle of the restaurant for two with a few flower vases on them. I said very politely, none of those tables are available? And she said no, they are all taken. Well that’s odd. If you don’t take reservations, and nobody is here, how can the tables be taken. Mind you nobody was outside waiting. Didn’t try to accommodate, certainly didn’t apologize for any misunderstanding, and basically turned her back and walked away. So, to this restaurant, if you want someone to properly represent your brand, your passion, and your quality, that needs to start with the front of the house. They do represent you when you aren’t looking. I most likely will not go back as a result of this and for the silver lining, we found a brand new place, not far away that we had never known of that was excellent: Attitudes matter.

The ONLY authentic Japanese sushi cuisine in the area. I'm so grateful for Kazu and his wife working hard to provide the utmost quality cuisine and service. I highly recommend it to all sushi lovers if you haven't been here this is the place for you.

By far one of the best in NJ! Kazu is a master when it comes to his fish. His knowledge and authenticity shows in every bite. The temperature of the fish is always perfect. Never left disappointed. We come here for authentic Japanese sushi.
PSA- you DO NOT come here for Americanized-sauce smothered/ fried half price special sushi.
If you are looking for uni, monkfish liver, snapper etc, Kazu will impress.
They are small. They do not take reservations. It’s first come first serve. We love it here.

Omakase, Miso White Tuna Acocado, Salmons n Carparcio. Baby Clams, Tempura appetizer, Fried Oysters. Yum yum.

Jan 9, 2022 and we are still doing the take out thing. It’s Ground Hog Day….
Food is the best as ever. Kazu San and Miyumi San are taking the orders and getting them ready for pickup. If you calling in start as early as 4pm for a 5-5:30pm pickup. Please do your part and go in there WITH A MASK. Last thing we need is for them to get sick. People will not know what they miss till they can’t get it.
Get the tuna carpaccio salad or the salmon carpaccio salad. Nice and light! Another fav is the White Tuna Avocado Miso salad!
(I believe it has peanut butter for those w/ nut allergies) just confirm.
As of June 13, 2021 Kazu is still TAKE OUT only. They are not offering sit down yet so don’t ask. I’m sure when they are ready they will let their clients know.
Same good eats but take out and it’s just as good!
