Dining at Kaz Sushi Bistro
It was a last minute decision to dine at Kaz Sushi Bistro. My original plan was to take my wife out to CityZen on Friday for her birthday, but Snowmeggedon was a coming. While changing our resies on Open Table, I saw that there was a 1,000 point opening for Kaz on Thursday, the night before the end of the world. We've been there before and truly enjoyed it, a great possible last meal.
What I enjoy:
- It's more than just classic sushi. You get unusual takes (a nice piece of tuna with a dollop of foie gras-miso) as well as a nice array of other items (the grilled baby octopus is to die for).
- You're not pushed into ordering a house selected set of pieces and there's more than just a piece of paper to tic off what you want. I like getting 3-4 orders at a time, slowly working my way through the menu.
- The place has a cozy feel to it, great for a date.
What I wasn't quite enthused about:
- It was a good ten minutes before I had my first drink placed in front of me. The service was a bit slow.
- Twice we were told they were out of something AFTER we placed our order. I absolutely hate that. Let me know up front!
- Some of the items were too salty: the short ribs and the grilled baby octopus. Yes, that octopus was still amazing despite the salt.
Still, we plan on coming back and bringing friends.
