Sushikazu

now café soho

Hidden behind a Rita’s Water Ice, Sushi Kazu is a hidden treasure! Though the exterior and interior may seem time-​worn, the sushi quality is not lacking. The service is quick and polite; the wide range of sushi is priced reasonably and always served fresh. With a variety of different specials from unlimited sushi to their outstanding soups, Sushi Kazu is a high quality restaurant. Best sushi cuisine in the Blue Bell area!

Service for lunch was outstanding and friendly. Sushi was very fresh and delicious. This is my new go-​to sushi in the Norristown-​Blue Bell area. Everything was outstanding!

Sushikazu in Blue Bell, Pa The Absolute Freshest most Bountiful Sushi. The food is incredible, melt in your mouth little piece of heaven. I was there Thursday night for all you can eat Sushi, it is the Best. A definite must try… Richard H.

The place was empty at 6:30 on a saturday night, so we were a little concerned, but the sushi was amazing and they had some special rolls we haven’t seen elsewhere. Sushi came out quick and the service was also great, but that should be expected when we were the only patrons. The titanic roll was especially good, lots of lobster for the price!

Ordered takeout and size of portion especially rice was very small for $ 14 a plate of teriyaki chicken. Vegetables were also gross. Sushi was good but think the menu is overly priced.

What use to be a great place when Kazu owned this place is now just terrible. The service is poor and the freshness of the food is unacceptable. When do you order brown rice from a Japanese restaurant and they serve reheated mushy rice? Really?
But what is worse is the quality of the fish is subpar for any sushi restaurant. I would recommend you not eat here unless you like to risk getting sick.

I’ve eaten here once and would recommend… good selection of foods for those of us that dont like raw selections. Ample seating and friendly to those with kids.

I have eaten at Sushikazu two times. Each time, I have left not only full, but also fully satisfied with a great meal at a reasonable price! Their spicy scallop rolls are wonderful… some of the best I’ve had. They also have a page of specialty rolls. We have tried about 6 of them, and I thought each one was super tasty and yummy. (Yes I just said yummy!)
Also, this is highly embarrassing, but says something about their service. I left my wallet at home last time we went to Sushikazu. We had $ 25 cash for a $ 43 bill. When I told the lady, must be the owner as she seems to run things, she was super understanding, if not more worried that I may have lost my wallet than I was. Thankfully, I have my credit card number memorized and she ran the charge without my card.
So in short, great food, and great service! Definitely recommend!

I am shocked Sushi Kazu has not yet been reviewed! I think that Sushi Kazu is pretty much on par with the quality of Bluefin in Plymouth Meeting — really some of the best sushi I’ve had in general, not just in the burbs. Super fresh, great service, nice interior — recently remodeled. Delicious special rolls, sumptuous sashimi. The third time my bf and I went, we were going to order some edamame to start and they just brought out a bowl of them even before we ordered. They always give you a little something extra at some point during the meal, so there is always a nice little gift from the chef. It is a bit hidden away in the shopping center where 73 and 202 meet, behind El Sarape (which is probably my favorite upscale Mexican place in the burbs) or behind Rita’s — depending on which direction you are coming from. Definitely worth seeking out! I definitely recommend a reservation or going a bit early, it can get a bit noisy and packed at peak hours.

About 3 – 4 months ago I was disappointed to hear that the restaurant was closed. I used to go there maybe as much as 10 times per year. I like suhi, sashimi, but often went for the more exotic maki recipes they had on the menu. You can imagine how excited I was when it reopened under new management a few weeks later. I checked it out on Wednesday ²⁄₁₇. The new menu was not very exciting and the waitress did not seem to care whether we liked the food or not. The new decorations are not bad, but they took away some of the quirkiness that the previous owners had maintained when they bought the business about 4 years ago. My new boss is from Japan and he was polite enough not to critique my selection of the restaurant. Instead he mentioned how much he and his family liked the Korean/​Japanese restaurant a few hundred yards south on Skippack Pike (towards Butler Pike). For now, no more Sushikazu for me.

The place reopenned with new staff and management. Very little has changed. Sushi is still of very high quality, menu became smaller and price levels remained steady.

So sad. We went this past Friday night and they are CLOSED. A neighboring business said they’ve closed for good…

Despite other people’s good reviews, I sadly am going to write «not-​so-​good» review for this place.
I am not a regular to this place… though visited handful of times.
I am «sushi seeker» so to speak; and try to be fair and to be honest over own experience.
There is a significant difference over «service» between «regular» and «non-​regular» — too big to ignore for this place unfortunately.
Sushi in general was «OK to Good» I shall say — nothing is outstanding… but worst thing I have ever got was «Usuzukuri» — basically very thin sliced Hirame typically served with «Ponzu» instead of regular shoyu.
First off, if chef cannot slice raw fish into that thin (supposedly), don’t even put it on the menu :(
The one I got was pieces rather «chopped» than «sliced»…and it was not even Hirame — Tilapia for sure as many places call this one as «Izumidai» for white fish fillet. Then, I was told by a waitress that they don’t serve «Special Sauce» anymore!!!
There was obvious difference on attitude of waitress against between regular and non-regular…sadly, I could not ignore such a huge difference. To establish «regular» for the place, everyone is basically non-​regular at the beginning. Why they think non-​regular will come back once receives not-​so-​welcome attitude/​service?!
Oh well… I was in the mood for this dish badly… so, you can guess my disappointment.
Well, this incident was in late June… I probably should have reviewed at that time; but I was not too into reviewing places then.
Somehow, my recent «not-​so-​good» experiences made me to start writing reviews for sushi places I go, I thought I shall share my experience on this place with other people.

I always ask my parents to go here when I am home and it’s some special day, ie birthday, Mother’s Day, etc. And we always walk about feeling like ultimate fatties.
They have a wide selection of different rolls and entrees. I am not a big fan of sashimi. so I can’t say that’s it’s über fresh or great. But their rolls… I die for.
Have had a lot of items off their menu and all have been delicious.
My typical order:
–Salad with ginger dressing
–I usually will split a katsudon bowl (fried pork cutlet in a bowl of rice, fried egg, onions with a katsu sauce)
–Then share some rolls.
–Finish off your dinner with the tempura ice cream. DELICIOUS!
The end.
Sincerely,
Fatty fat fat

Sushikazu’s dining area isn’t the roomiest, so reserve a table, especially weekends. Modestly-​decorated, the place looks like your typical Japanese restaurant, but their cooked food is anything but. (The sushi rolls we tried weren’t too shabby, but not up to par with places like Blue Fin.) Our server (Steven) was spot on, getting us everything we needed, not leaving until we were satisfied.
For starters, we destroyed a plate of wasabi sumai ($ 5; steamed pork dumplings). They were so tempting I almost ate them all before they hit the table. Next, we shared an order of Murasakigai-​yaki ($ 7; broiled mussels topped with a blend of kani and spicy sauce) that was outstanding, with a decent kick. The Ikamaru-​yaki ($ 6; lightly fried calamari with ponzu sauce) were crispy, and a rounded out dinner nicely.
Sushikazu is good eats, and worth a visit.
