Forgot my lunch for work, and Kazoku came to the rescue! I dropped in for some take-out, ordering a Teriyaki chicken bento box, with chicken gyoza and fried rice, and a spicy tuna sushi roll. The bento box came to $12, which is hard to beat these days. I didn't eat in, but the ambiance would be perfect for a date night. The tables looked cozy, with comfy bench seating along one wall and an open view of the kitchen. It's bigger than it looks from the outside!
My food came out quickly, and I was on my way. I opened my bag when I got to work...only to find my fried rice and soup were missing. I called the restaurant, and asked for a partial refund; they agreed, but offered to bring me what was missing instead. Not only did they deliver my soup and rice, but they added in strawberry punch to help make up for the missing items. Talk about going above and beyond! I know they're relatively new, so I imagine they're still working out a few kinks.
The food was delicious--and the portions were huge. I have plenty of leftovers for a second meal. The gyoza were crispy, but juicy; and everything was perfectly seasoned. The sushi was the shining star for me, though--it was some of the best spicy tuna I've had in a while. And the strawberry punch was so refreshing, even on this cooler wintery day.
I can't wait to go back to Kazoku, and I am very happy to welcome them to Tate Street. read more
