Sushi Kazu: Exceptional Japanese Cuisine in San Francisco

An excellent place for relaxation and dinner. Soft jazz music, a cozy venue with a limited number of seats, European-style ambiance combined with Asian cuisine. Fresh fish, authentic Japanese soy sauce, sake, and outstanding dishes, all prepared with care. This charming place will recharge you after a challenging workday and bring a positive end to your day, providing a pleasant escape from the monotony of weekdays

Been here twice and I'd give it 3.5 stars. The service is great and the people are friendly, and prices are decent. Besides miso soup, I have only ordered nigiri here. The miso soup always comes out piping hot - I love it. The nigiri is made with generous cuts of fish, but there is way too much rice so it's not a good balance. Sometimes there is also too much wasabi added which takes away from the flavor of the fish. A memorable choice was the Japanese scallop - it had too much wasabi and a lot of salt sprinkled on top. Can't forget that horrid salty taste in my mouth paired with my nostrils burning from the wasabi haha. Overall, not my spot for sushi but I'm glad I tried this place out more than once.

Great local spot. We live in the neighborhood and have eaten here a few times. Great sushi, great service, cozy/homey vibe. Very fair pricing

Amazing sushi. Too often in the us sushi are awful, but kazu-san truly makes delicious sushi that instantly bring me back in Japan ! The atmosphere in the restaurant is very friendly. They also have very good sake and choya. I will be back as often as I come back to San Francisco.

Really friendly staff, authentic atmosphere (makes me feel like I’m back in Japan / Taiwan again!). Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but honestly this place is now one of my favorite hole in the wall go-to in sf for Japanese food! Highly recommend the unagi nigiri, super fresh and the rice is delicious too! Just be patient for your food to come out as they are understaffed (and working super hard)!

Solid and fresh. Each roll and piece of nigiri was delicious. My boyfriend doesn’t eat seafood so he is always happy to come across a place with a variety of vegetarian options. The veggie dragon roll especially stood out. He thought the chicken meatballs were good but not great. Don’t come here expecting fancy decor or super attentive service. Fairly laid back environment, friendly staff, and a no rush feeling.

Amazing sushi! Service a little slower from Covid, only one sushi chef but he makes food o delicious and their prices are below market. Makes for an opportunity to eat a lot and try more items at a fair price. When I go back to SF I will go again!

Absolutely fantastic spot for small bites, rolls, and sushi. We’ve been here a couple of times and loved it! This is great spot for nigiri and rolls. They give pretty generous cuts for their nigiri and have a wide array of rolls even for vegetarians! The tea and soup they serve is always hot and the service is prompt. It’s a pretty cozy spot with nice jazz music playing. I highly recommend giving sushi kazu a try!
