I was already parked in front of another sushi restaurant in the area, but then decided to drive to Sushi Kazu instead and give them a try based on the positive reviews and the fact that it's a small mom-n-pop operation. I like supporting small business when possible, but I regret that I had the last minute change of heart and ate here. I don't enjoy giving any small business a bad review, but my dining experience here was less than stellar and the quality of the food was really below par. Shrimp tempura roll: there was so little shrimp in the 6 pieces that I could barely taste it. I would not be surprised if there was literally one single small to medium size shrimp cut up into 6 pieces for this roll. It basically tasted like a cucumber roll. One of the pieces only had a piece of the tempura breading in it, no shrimp. A joke of a sushi roll. Sushi combination: I asked what kind of fish would come on this platter because there are some I just don't eat. The chef listed what he'll put on there and made no mention of imitation crab, which I had already told the waitress I don't eat at all. Sure enough, out of the 7 sushi pieces on the platter, 1 turned out to be imitation crab. Not that big a deal I thought and I politely mentioned it to the waitress when she asked about my food. She apologized and said the chef never mentioned the crab. After some discussion between the waitress and chef, she told me he'll just give me another piece of fish instead. I thanked them, finished my entire meal....but the chef never bothered coming through with his promise. I was initially the only one in the restaurant and 3 other people came in later, so it's not like he was just too busy. I generally don't have any issues letting a restaurant know when something is not right with the food, but I was tired and was not going to mention anything, just wanted to settle my bill, but the waitress came and asked me if he ever gave me the replacement piece. I said no and she asked the chef again. He then gave me a piece of squid that tasted so disgusting I actually went to the bathroom to spit it out (and I do eat and like squid). The best part, and awkwardly funny, was that the chef proceeded to take the piece of imitation crab off my plate when he gave me the squid and told me I need to let him know ahead of time next time. I politely informed him that I did tell the waitress from the get-go and reminded him that I had asked what type of fish he would put on the platter and he did not list the crab at all. He did not have much of a response. None of this is the end of the (dining) world for me, but it's sad when you realize the best part of your overpriced meal was the salad dressing. I will not return to this restaurant and will just spend my money at another sushi place. read more

Best Sushi place around DTC. My favorite Sushi is bronco roll and no one can beat the bronco here!

Great menu selection, friendly environment, and most importantly... wonderful sushi and good prices. Happy hour menu is great as well. If you're in the area is highly recommend checking them out! read more

The three stars could be four but really that is not the important thing. Service was fast and efficient. Fish was fresh and tasty. Sushi came quickly and was good. The only reason that I give it 3 instead of 4 is that the sushi rolls had some issues that anyone who has been eating sushi all their life would notice...The balance of fish to roll was a little off and usually I wouldn't mind more fish but it was a little much. The rolls were not rolled very tight thus they fell apart very quickly. However these are nit picky things and overall this is a good sushi place that serves up fresh fish, which is pretty much one of the most important things when it comes to sushi. Oh I should note that they prepare gioza perfectly...Steamed with a sear. This is a must! read more

I don't eat sushi often, but I love it and this is one of my favorite places. Everything I've had here has been superb! They get pretty busy at lunchtime so service can be a little bit slow, but so worth it. And they are so nice. Yummy! read more

The sushi here was excellent -- very fresh and great selection (fish and rolls). The also appear to have a good lunch menu. Great option for this part of town. read more

This is one of the best sushi places I have found in Colorado. I'm from LA so I'm used to good, fresh sushi. Sushi kazu I would recommend to anyone. The prices are amazing, the quality is great, the sushi combinations are on par and the service is very friendly. I would have given this place 5 stars because the food is so good, however, the ambiance is pretty mediocre and average, and I would have to give the ambiance 3 stars. Other than that, this place is a MUST for sushi lovers. read more

So great!!! Price wasn't bad for the amount of food we had. We have an array of different pieces from sushi to hand rolls to signature rolls. The Denver roll is absolutely amazing!!!! The staff is so cute and welcoming. Warm towels and complimentary cucumber and crab salad when we sat down. I loved!!! Definitely worth a try!! read more

Sushi quality is excellent but they are ill equipped to handle the lunch crowd. Only 1 sushi chef to serve 30 people, all of whom arrived at the same time. Obviously pieces of my order were forgotten, etc. What they lack in service they do make up for in quality of food, however. read more

My family and I absolutely love this place. Have been here about 4 times and it never fails. We even brought along a very picky eater one time and he loved it as well. The soups and sushi rolls are delicious and great display. The service is good, although it could be better. I've had to wait a bit on drinks and what not but nothing too big. Please leave room for the Moshi icecream as a desert! It is divine!! Overall great place. read more

The Sushi at this restaurant are always fresh and the sushi chef is very knowledgeable but doesn't speak English very well. Their staff and waitresses are warm and kind but all of them are English barrier. The food are delicious and the​ service is great! read more

This is hands down my favorite sushi restaurant. Sure you could go to any fancy sushi place and get great sushi, but this is something entirely different. Sushi Kazu has the friendliest staff and a home-like vibe you can't experience anywhere else. They have a HUGE variety of delicious authentic sushi and all for an amazing price. I personally love coming here on casual dates with my girlfriend. Love this place. read more

Just moved to the area and was craving sushi. This place hit the spot. Great rolls, prices and friendly staff!

Came here at night for some sake and sushi. Was greeted by what I guess from everyone's review is the owner/sushi chef. Not many people here which I like to see. Ordered the sushi and came super fast and was pretty good. Got the salmon yellowtail and and albacore tuna sushi. No complaints. The hot sake was good and very reasonable price. Also ordered spicy everything from above and came more as a roll than regular sushi as a heads up, but still very good not too spicy. read more

Man... this place rocks! We got a bronco roll, red dragon roll and a couple different pieces of sushi. All and all, an excellent lunch - we went a touch later (around 1:05) and were able to avoid the big lunch rush. read more

This is a great little sushi bar that you might miss (it's down a slight hill in a strip mall off Arapahoe and Peoria) but it's definitely worth a try. The sushi chef, Kazu, always has a smile on his face and the whole seating area (including the tables) feels like an extension of the sushi bar. The staff is friendly and I've always gotten great service. The sushi menu is simple but very fresh and authentic. I particularly recommend the Kazu-roll (it's not on the menu, you have to write it in) as well as their hand rolls. If you're eating at a table, you get the whole thing at once but they serve the sushi bar one roll at a time on small plates. Make sure to save room for their plum tempura ice cream! They also doing a great take-out business if you need it to go. Highly recommend. read more

Caterpillar roll is awesome. Excellent overall. Kazu makes all the sushi himself. Very friendly.

Sushi Kazu offers the best lunchtime sushi this far South of the city.

This is one of the best, if not the best sushi I've ever had. And i live in Manhattan, we have a lot of sushi places.

Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Sometimes fast, sometimes painfully slow. Used to be much better. I stopped going there after waiting several time over 40mjn for my lunch... read more

One of the rare places that have chawanmushi (traditional japanese steamed egg). Food is consistent but sometimes comes out a little slow. Cute little grandpa usually makes all the sushi. Love the spicy octopus sushi made fresh to order and lunch specials are pretty amazing too. It's a small & cozy restaurant so it fills up quick at times. read more

Great hidden little sushi place with a wonderful if a bit odd owner. Agadashi tofu is incredible and sushi selection is good as well. If you live nearby, give it a try! read more

Excellent fresh selection of fish. The rolls were much larger than I normally see at other sushi restaurants. Small cozy atmosphere. I have had better sushi but nowhere near this price range. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys sushi. read more

Excellent staff. Server walked us through how to order and also made excellent recommendations as to which rolls we should try. If you are in the area this is quite the gem. read more

I tried to give this place a chance. Not once but twice since it is so close to my office both times it was nothing spectacular. The first time I ordered take out so I thought maybe it's because I didn't eat there. I went back and had lunch at the sushi bar. First off the smell. I was close enough to the kitchen the old oil smell was in the air. I ordered egg rolls and a couple rolls. One roll came out, then my egg roll then the other roll. I ate one roll and half an egg roll and started to feel sick. When my other roll came out I got a box and the check. Threw the box out when I pulled into work. Heading home sick in a few minutes. Sucks because I love sushi and would have it 3-5 time a week at my old job. I think sushi is over for me after today. read more

Great sushi for the price. Large portions for the meal for two. The room temp was so hot that the sushi may have cooked a little on the plate in front of my eyes. But if you go in your underwear you will be a comfortable temp and enjoy the food. read more

The best sushi place in town!!!! Feels like Japan (I lived there for three years). Great service, great sushi, great everything. The tuna tatanaki is fantastic, so is the scallop or spicy octopus. All excellent. The "drunken clams" (in a sake and broth mix) is a quite unique and tasty dish. The eel sushi was large and still warm, fresh off the grill. read more

We came from California Los Angeles and after a week we were craving genuine Japanese food. We read the reviews on Yelp! and gave Sushi Kazu a try and we were not disappointed. The food was very genuine and pricing was reasonable. I will definitely go there again a couple more times before we leave. read more

Great fish! Fish melts in your mouth. It's fresh and delicious. Service a little slow but it's run by a very friendly Japanese couple and the prices are relatively low. To reiterate, great food! read more

Awesome sushi! Hole in the wall strip mall atmosphere but don't be scared. The chef/owner is a master. Check the specials to see what's outside the menu too. read more

My first time, but I overheard another guest going on and on about how this was his son's favorite sushi place, better than what his son usually got while living in Japan. Salmon roll was a little boring. Unagi was very good. read more

Closest thing to real sushi in Colorado. I've tried one too many places and have always been disappointed. Wasn't sure about this place till I walked in. Looked like an authentic sushi restaurant with an older sushi chef. Food was good. Def satisfied my craving. read more

The service is not great. The rice is over seasoned and I worry about freshness. I ordered sashimi noro and it was brown. I sent back to the chef and he says it was normal for noro. I know food, especially fresh food. I will not go back. Brown noro is not okay. I'm tempted to call the health department. read more

Love this place been coming here for 8years now, they always remember me, and what I order. Customer service and food are excellent. A must try! read more

Great good. Good service. Will put this on my list to go back. Started off with miso soup, very good. A little Eno next that was good. Then moved on to a Dragon roll. Had never tried one and it was outstanding. Went on to one of my favorites, the Spider roll. Very good! read more

O.M.G. out of ALL the sushi restaurants I've been to, this one definitely makes my top 5 places!!! The chef/owner is extremely friendly. You can definitely tell he loves what he does! He has THE BEST Sushi combinations I have ever had and still I cannot find any like his!! The staff is very warm and welcoming and also very attentive. Try it and you will love it! read more

Awesome sushi from a real Japanese sushi chef! Super white tuna and hamachi were perfect. Definitely recommend this place! I lived in Japan and love good sushi. read more

Great small/family owned sushi restaurant. High quality for price sushi. I got the bronco and spicy tuna both were delicious. Will be back my office is right around the corner! read more

Found this place recently amd its a favorite now. Excellent food and great service! The owners/staff are always attentive. Love it!

This is one of my favorite places for sushi in Denver. It's located in an unassuming strip mall and is cozy, even a little outdated, but still definitely worth going. The real gem at Sushi Kazu is Kazu san himself. If you sit at the sushi bar and get him to engage in conversation, he has fascinating life experience to tell. Try to find that at other sushi restaurants. He's always friendly, even working day in and day out. I've never been there when he hasn't been behind the counter crafting sushi. The sushi always tastes fresh and Kazu san will make up any sushi roll you can can think of, even if it's not on the menu. One of my custom favorites is the vegi roll with cream cheese. Go, you won't be disappointed. read more
