The service excellent. The chef at Habachi table was very funny and skilled. The food was amazing and portions are substantial. I arranged for my sorority sisters to have our luncheon there and everyone enjoyed themselves. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

This was the worst service i have ever experienced. The waitresses (2 total) walked past us a good 10 times before we were ever asked what we want to drink. We were sitting for about 15 minutes before ever asked. I then got my salad and soup at the same time as my hibachi when other tables around me got it well before the hibachi came out. And not to mention the hair what was wrapped up in my sushi .. the waitress responds to it job I'll take it for you. Not even an apology. Then didn't take it off the check and got the check wrong twice. read more

Fast seating with reservation. The ambiance was nice and open. The food portions were well above equivalent restaurants. Would go back.

The food is amazing but it's pretty expensive even for what it is. Be prepared to spend some money. Overall the service is solid and the place has a great vibe. I would love to go back. read more

I had a great experience at dinner here. Manuel was our chef and very entertaining. Our food was delicious as I got the chicken hibachi and my husband got the filet mignon hibachi. The restaurant is really nice too. I really enjoyed my dinner. We don't go often because it's a little pricey but this was definitely worth it. I also got the Shark Tank drink which was amazing as well. read more

Kaze Japanese Steakhouse - Shark Tank - Sushi Bars Near Me - Garner, North Carolina

Some of my family absolutely love this place and they often pick it for their birthday celebrations. But I've had soooo many bad experiences here if someone says they are going here I just send them a birthday card and skip it. One time we were here and the server took our drink and food orders and then never came back. The chef had to actually leave the grill and go get someone to bring drinks as he was serving food. We got our salads and soups AFTER our meals. Another time the chef left out some items he needed to cook and had to leave the grill and go get them after cooking everyone else's food. This is the only Japanese steakhouse I've ever been to where the chef had to leave the grill. See my "lonely lobster tail" photo. They messed up our check really bad once, putting items we didn't order and food from people who weren't in our group on our check. Then almost refused to remove the items because the other group paid and left quickly with a much cheaper bill. Flat out accused us of knowing those people who we had never seen. And finally, another time they dropped the ball so bad, seated us 45 minutes after our reservations, didn't get a chef to the table for another hour, and then got all the orders wrong...I just wanted to get the heck out so I paid my bill and left. My brother complained and they admitted how bad they screwed up and comped his entire group. I called them and said they should do the same for me I was very unhappy and they said no. That was the last time I ever went and the last time I will ever go. If you want a better experience go to Kabuki. But in reality the Triangle could use a really good Japanese Steakhouse. read more

The parking was horrible on a Saturday night. I had to park across the street. We had a larger party of 11. We didn't have to wait too long. We were sat and our waiter came out right away to get our drink orders. He kept refills coming very timely. The chef and server were patient, and you get a lot of food. It is a bit pricey. I think everyone spent at least $90 to $100. Gratuity is already included for parties over 5. read more

After dining here last night, sad to say I won't be returning. My family ordered the same sushi rolls we usually order and there must be a new chef as the crab inside the roll was just a stick of imitation crab instead of the shredded crab that gives a completely different taste and texture. I even looked up my previous pictures on here to see if I was mistaken but the rolls used to have the shredded crab mix. If you're going to charge $17 for a specialty roll at least make it worthy of the price. For 6 of us to eat we paid $243, yet had we gone to an ayce sushi restaurant we would've paid $31 a person at $186 plus tip. The hosts are never friendly. We walked in right after 5 and were the second party to be seated and not even a smile from the two hostesses, just a "follow me." Our waitress was very friendly and efficient as we had no issues with her service. This place needs to actually put their prices on the menu as the sushi offered is way overpriced for what you get. read more

I stumbled upon this and it was confirmed by a friend as a good place when I asked since it was in their neck of the woods. It's a modern, but chic-looking establishment. It has a nice bar area where I sat and had amazing, fast and friendly service from the bartender. She made my drinks to perfection as well. The beef bulgogi lettuce wraps appetizer could have been a meal on its own but I decided to take it further and continue with the hibachi option and got the hibachi steak option with noodle and rice. IT did NOT disappoint. The portions were very large and I was happy because I had lunch for work the next day lol My ginger salad was actually much fresher than I'm used to as well, and the miso soup were was your round the way dish. Overall, I'd definitely recommend! read more

New to the area and was referred to try this place out. Visited with my wife, daughter, and son. Parking was pretty full, but lucked up and got one at the front entrance. Place super cute on the inside. A modern spin on Asian food. The host was welcoming, but the young girl seating us could use some coaching. We chose the non-Hibachi dining. We were seated next to the bar and were in the middle of all the action. The server was great from start to finish. The food was amazing! Prices are very reasonable. If our visit couldn't have gone any better, out pops the coolest, most friendliest guy repping the restaurant. Not sure if he were the owner or the chef or just some random guy who enjoys life, but he was extremely warm and inviting. He sat down with us and treated us with a round of drinks. He alone was worth the visit, but then comes dessert! This is quickly becoming our new local sushi spot. We'll be back! read more

The main draw at Kaze is the entertainment by the hibachi chef. Watching him grill our dinners with his fancy spatula moves and with humor sprinkled in was indeed amusing and fun for our party of 7. That being said...a couple things about the food. The flavors are quite generic, I suppose because they are cooking for everyone and have to accommodate a wide range of palates. The food is on par with Japanese fast food (like Tokyo Joy) - not spicy, no depth, and no acidity. They provide yum-yum sauce and a sweet gingery sauce to correct the food but really a hot chili sauce or something like a peanut or XO sauce would have added much more depth. I say this because spending upwards of $40 or so on a hibachi dinner deserves better. Service was amazingly efficient. But a heads-up - make sure that if you prefer to be seated at a regular table rather than at the hibachi grill that you let the host/hostess know. The host didn't ask, which was no big deal for me. But I was taken aback on how our server handed the situation when a couple ladies seated next to us let our her know that the host didn't ask their preference, and they wanted sushi instead of hibachi. Instead of reseating them she kinda made a big deal out of them being seated at a hibachi table even though they weren't given a choice. Anyway...they stayed at the hibachi table, ordered sushi - and it looked amazing!!! Five stars, less one for unflavored hibachi dinner and less one for weird moment when the server was miffed at guests. And one extra star for chef entertainment!!! read more

This place is amazing! The staff is very helpful. Manuel is very funny. He has been our chef 2 time and we have only been here 2 times. We all thank the amazing staff. The biggest thank you to Manuel. read more

just now New We have visited this restaurant for all our family birthdays for years and have been happy until tonight. While the food was good enough, the service, vibe and bill were a huge detriment. First, the server seemed like she didn't want to be there. Didn't bring one of our children her salad even though she ordered an adult meal. The chef was ok but he didn't do the flaming tricks like the volcano. He was mildly engaging. The two worst things were when the bill came and the restaurant tacked on an additional 3% for using a credit card. A lot of places are doing this so ok, but I paid with a debit card and merchants aren't allowed to up charge for that. They did anyway and I didn't really know the law until after we left. The second thing was the gratuity was already added. I don't mind that, especially since we were a party of five, but they calculated the tip based on the food cost AND tax and gave themselves a healthy 22% tip. Then, at the bottom of the receipt was a list of "Suggested Tip Amounts" where they calculated based on the food, tax, and the pre-added tip! Really?? I think a pre-added tip of maybe 18% is appropriate, but not 22%. The service wasn't that good. I let that slide because it was a birthday celebration and I didn't want to be that customer. The final kicker was when we were leaving. Apparently we weren't getting out of there fast enough and my daughter heard one of the wait staff say in Spanish she wanted us to hurry up and leave. Wow. Over-tipping for mediocre service and a bad attitude will not bring us back there. Get your act together, Kaze. read more

Kaze Japanese Steakhouse - Salmon hibachi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Garner, North Carolina

It was alright. I've been there twice, strictly because my family likes hibachi and most of them go there for birthday celebrations. Both times, we had to wait about a half hour after our reservation for tables. As I don't really care for the performance food, I usually just get sushi or whatever. One time I had the sushi cake, hand rolls and Toro. The Toro is "fatty tuna," the hand rolls were hand rolls and the sushi cake is described as "Layered sushi rice, spicy tuna, avocado, tempura crunch topped with eel sauce, spicy mayo and tobiko." The food itself was very expensive and the packed house experience is less than inviting. I'm just not the type of person who enjoys such settings, but I suck it up for special occasions. Still, I can't bring down the business because it's "not for me," as everyone else seemed to enjoy themselves. It's not easy to park on a busy night either. The fried ice cream was also very tasty and well prepared. Again, the food was good because I chose to stray from the heavy sodium and high frying. But it costs to do so. Best, A. read more

Visited on 4/25/26. The service at the hostess station was terrible. It was not busy. SEVERAL workers walked by without greeting my party. I had to ask to be seated. However our cook's name was Emanuel. HE WAS AWESOME. Very friendly and entertaining. He talked with us the entire time. He was amazing. I would give him 10 stars. Our waitress was also very helpful and nice. But the immediate interaction upon arrival was very poor service. read more

Kaze's food is very good. You get A LOT of food when you go. A tad pricey. You actually get more food when you order to go/pick up rather than sitting inside and they cook in front of you read more

Do not sleep on this wonderful restaurant! The hostesses were not friendly, at all, but do not let that disuade you. They did not care if we ate there or not, it seemed. It was our first time. When we left they were busy talking to each other, so no bye.....We sat at the Hibatchi tables. While it appears to be typical hibatchi fare, the quality and taste are far superior. Joe was our Chef and he was really awesome, as was our waitress. I got the jumbo shrimp & filet with a scallop appetizer. Joe squeezed fresh lemon along with soy and other seasonings. It was really subtle but cut the oil a bit, and gave the seafood an awesome flavor. The scallops were so good I could weep. The filet was perfect, really nice. As I looked around every one was having a great time with their Chefs, friends & family. The parking lot was full, on a Monday! Recommend you make a reservation and go asap!! read more

We really enjoyed Kaze. There was a 30 min wait so we sat at the bar and had drinks. Great service and awesome drinks. When our grill table was ready, ordering was easy and cool was entertaining. We will deer back! read more

We ordered four hibachi chicken plates. In one of these, my son found a large gray completely raw shrimp nestled in the cooked food. That really turned my stomach. The worst part is, after pointing it out to the waitress, the 'compensation' was a manager came over, who wanted to be our friend it seemed, along with a free beer, which we said twice we did not want, but got one anyway. The experience is one of my first ones out with our new grandbaby, and one I will not soon forget. Due to that fact, I held my tongue, but I really wanted to say how awful the experience was. The humiliating attempt to be our friend was the worst. There was a lot of food presented for around $30 each, but one meal should absolutely have been compensated. And, no means no on the beer. read more

I attended a lady's luncheon on Saturday with 4 other ladies. It was the first time I had gone in years. We had to the best time and most pleasant experience. We sat at one of the tables instead of the grill area so we could spend a little more time with each other as we know the grill area needs to turn over quickly. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant. Manager came by our table and interacted with us which was very nice then proceeded to other tables to do the same. Our waitress was very nice and answered several questions we had about the menu. Our food was prepared in a short amount of time and was served hot and delicious. Will definitely be returning. read more

They refuse to take orders over the phone (apparently everyone is expected to use DoorDash or their website), and they don't list sushi prices on their menu. So if you want to order here, be prepared to jump through hoops just to figure out what anything costs. Ordering shouldn't feel like a scavenger hunt. read more

TLDR: Teppanyaki-style restaurant in Garner with excellent food and large portions. Pricy, but comparable to kanki and worth it for the occasional treat. Oooh a Japanese steakhouse in Garner?? Yay! As fans of Kanki in Crabtree, we were excited to try out Kaze. While sick, I was craving rice and miso soup so we ordered takeout from here. It is pricy, but we knew it would be having been to this style of restaurant before. The menu is very similar to kanki or similar teppanyaki-style restaurants. I appreciate this since it was easy to order. We chose the hibachi shrimp dinner and steak dinner. It was delicious and exactly what I was craving. The miso soup was perfect and everything was flavored well. Plus we received a lot of white sauce. When ordering you can choose between the white sauce, ginger sauce, or both. I recommend the white sauce with the hibachi and the ginger dressing for the salad. The salads were fresh and crisp. The portion sizes are quite large so I made one entree last 3-4 meals. Even with takeout, the meal was warm when it arrived. The items were packaged well and ready for pick-up when expected. Overall, we had a great experience here and recommend this restaurant to others! read more

We went to celebrate our Anniversary and Valentine's Day and had an amazing chef Mauricio. My partner ordered the Land & Sea with Scallops and I had the Jumbo Shrimp. It was soooo good. The scallops were cooked perfectly (I took a bite). I love that you get both rice & noodles. I was skeptical because the reviews were only 3 stars but it definitely must have changed something. I was glad that we enjoyed it as much as we did so I don't have to drive all the way to Crabtree to go to Kanki. I think they remodeled the place because it looked different from the last time I almost ate there. It was super chill at the hibachi grill and our server Ceasar was also super attentive. He made sure I didn't have any onions because I am allergic. read more

This visit was frustrating from start to finish. The waitress spent time in the back talking, and we noticed staff touching their hair while serving, which felt unhygienic. Even after telling our waitress we were in a rush, we waited about 40 minutes for food and had to leave before eating. Service and professionalism were lacking. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

I came with a small party of 7 Was told our wait would only be 5-10 minutes, have been waiting for 50 minutes now. Servers must either be new or management has no idea whats going on. Finally got sat after waiting for 50 minutes. Server took about 10 mins to greet, haven't gotten our chef yet and it's been close to another 15-20 minutes since we received our drinks. Chef came after another 25 minutes of waiting, waitress spilt water on my wife and I because she was unable to hold the cup herself and pour the water. Chef was excellent, food was very good and flavorful. No complaints about him or the food whatsoever. Check came, wife and I split a create your own. We were charged $73.24 without tip added and neither of us ordered a beverage outside of water. Outrageous price. Safe to say I nor my wife will ever be coming back to this place which is unfortunate because the food was excellent. read more

The food is good and nicely presented. I can't say too many positive things about the service. Maybe it was an 'off' night or perhaps our server was new on the job. In any event, it made for a less than noteworthy dining experience. read more

The food was excelent! Our server and chef were great! Some friends told us this place was awesome and they were right. We'll be back soon.

Waited 16 min to be seated since apparently at 6ft1 I'm bloody invisible and the 5 people with me all couldn't be seen. Manager blew it off and the moron seating people couldn't care at all. Food was solid wait staff was meh. This was a once week dinner for the family but I don't think I'd come back.

Great food, fun hibachi show, friendly staff, and fresh sushi--always a win! Would definitely come here for any celebration

Beware! There are no prices on the menu, and it's become much more expensive to eat here.

It's very good hibachi. Visiting place such as this are always a much better value at lunch though. Our meal was a Birthday Celebration and the food at Kaze is in abundance! There is plenty of parking and certain parts of the restaurant are spacious.. However, the actual Hibachi table are some what cramped.. especially for the folks that end up at the end.. You are literally right up against the table backed up against you. And, the chefs cooking cart is your front view.. For example, not like Kanki where the table are a clean separation from each other. Would recommend. Customer service was fair. read more
