This is definitely the best Japanese food around. My significant other and I have rotated through the menu, and have yet to find one thing we didn't like. Kazu and his employees really know how to treat customers, and they recognize us every time and offer us the same seat. The fish is so fresh and delicate, and the tea is magnificent. I'm not even a big fan of tea usually but this tea is most definitely my favorite. We often go through a whole pot in 15 minutes. They also have the best Miso soup around. Inside is like little Japan, and the atmosphere is amazing. We were so happy to stumble upon this place, because we were displaced after our other favorite, Koi, closed and sold out to Siam Orchid, which is an awful place. That's for another review, though. read more

It is the best sushi in town these days. But not the best sushi I've ever had. Locals love it as it has become somewhat of an institution. Good service, Intimate setting, and solid food with a menu that isn't overwhelming. Maybe I am giving an extra star here due to sentimentality or maybe I am just a local with stunted taste buds. At any rate I heart Kazu. read more

Best Chicken Katsu in South Florida. You won't find better Chicken Katsu anywhere in Florida, very happy to have this place in Stuart.

What a find ! If you can get over the strip mall location, the sushi is great. Well priced, great service.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to eat here. We walked in at 2:01 (literally) and were told they were closed. Even though people were in there eating AND I had called ten minutes earlier to ask for help locating them because we were lost in a sea of strip malls. I mean, really--ONE MINUTE after 2 pm? (It also bears mentioning that Yelp said they were open through dinner.). I guess they must be doing really well if they turn away business so easily. read more

Great Sushi Place. Small restuarant but great atmosphere. Loved the Little Boat the our entree Rolls were served on. Only complaint is that they need a better wine selection! read more

Omg!! Amazing food!! I am so glad that I read the reviews of this place!!! I ate myself into an oblivion.....very clean, nice staff....and inexpensive!! I had some roll can't remember name, at the bottom of the page that was fried...it was so good I moaned and groaned the whole time!!!! Lol. So serious!! Tempura was fabulous!! I'm stuffed! Can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Went here because I was told their sushi was excellent and prices reasonable. I found neither to be true. Typical sushi restaurant pricing. The hamachi neck appetizer tasted a day past its prime, my hand rolls were served to me with soggy seaweed, probably after waiting too long for the waitress to pick them up. No option to deal with the sushi chef directly to avoid this was offered, despite sitting at the sushi bar.. Never saw a smile on either of the sushi chefs faces the entire hour that I was there. There are definitely better places to go if you want to pay normal high prices for sushi. read more

First night in Stuart after a few years visiting and was trying to find a good place for sushi. Though there was a list, each had its pros and cons. Gave this one a try. Moderately priced, but not quite the quality of fish I was looking for to curve my craving. And I didn't understand what every speciality roll had cream cheese? Not what I consider true sushi, especially on the Treasure Coast. Disappointed. read more

My last time there was my last time there. Used to be pretty good but has gone down hill over the years. The wait staff are order takers at best. If you have an problem with an order, no one, chefs included, have a clue about how to resolve it. Fellow reviewers seem compelled to defend this place as they call themselves experts. If it was so great then why the need to defend it? Food is nothing great and service is poor so those who love it can continue to support it. I will go elsewhere for better food and a much better dining experience. read more

I tried this restaurant twice to give it a chance. The first time I ordered a Chirashi bowl to go. When I got home ( I live less than a mile from restaurant) I was disappointed about the quantity and variety of the fish offered and I found the rice to be dry. However, I gave them another chance cause I didn't dine in. Well, last night I gave them a try again and I arrived around 8 on a Friday night. They were packed and had about three girls serving. I sat at the bar and wasn't offer a menu for about 8 minutes. Finally got the menu and ordered the Kasu Bento platter. I was supposed to receive 3 pieces of nigiri sushi, 9 pieces of sashimi, fukumaki, sunomomo, and spice tuna hand roll. So disappointed. The nigiri was tuna, white fish, and salmon, which was ok. The sashimi was three pieces of tuna, sashimi and white fish! Nothing different! I've never been served an assorted sashimi and received all the same fish and I was not impressed with the fish quality. The tuna was almost transparent and was like grocery store sushi, the salmon was farmed, but the white fish was ok but redundant. The sunomomo was more chunks of tuna on top of cucumber! Boring. Last the hand roll was straight up disgusting. It was a gooey fish mash and had no spice at all...completely bland. Honestly I think this the second review I've ever done and I felt I needed to warn others cause this place somehow gets good reviews. I wish it was better cause I live so close. Guess I'll keep going to Kaizen in Jensen Beach. read more

Best sushi in South Florida! Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere. If you like classic sushi cuisine this is the place for you.

I'm a regular customer staff always remembers my favorite saki . Shrimp tempura lunch especially good Recommend for food & atmosphere, staff most obliging. read more

Lobster Avocado salad was great! I also got spicy tuna w masago on the outside....awesome!

On the way to go to Miami, we found this place. It was surprisingly good and authentic. We ordered sushi, sashimi and katsudon dinner. Everything was fresh and good. We particularly liked katsudon; it tasted like a real thing. The kind you get only in Japan!! We will definitely go back to this place when we drive again on I-95. read more

We've been to a lot of Japanese Restaurant. This one is Definitely one of the good ones around this area Authentic & Affordable.

Great Sushi. Definitely one of the top local sushi resteraunts. Prices are average for quality sushi, only qualm is that it is a VERY small resteraunt and when it's crowded, it's semi-uncomfortable. read more

Best sushi on the treasure coast, excellent taste and fresh fish. Very clean and neat restaurant. Kazu has a wide verity of saki along with their great verity of Japanese food. Go there, you will really enjoy it. Sit and that bar and watch some very skilled chefs prepare your sushi. read more

This is our favorite spot for sashimi! The fish is always fresh, the goyza (pork dumplings) are amazing, and the soba noodle bowl is devine! It's a small place, and seems to get a lot of business around 6:45pm. If you don't want to wait, go before 6:45pm. Went once for lunch & probably wouldn't go back since the service was terribly slow. Can't go wrong with the beef tataki, summer roll, ika sansai, or anything else on the menu. We love it! read more

This is definitely the best sushi spot on the Treasure Coast. The owners are friendly and always provide great service. For appetizers go for the agedashi tofu or tuna tataki. For rolls the kanpyo roll is the best, and this is one of the few sushi restaurants that serves kanpyo (a type of Japanese gourd). read more

I love this restaurant. I especially like the grilled calamari. I ordered for the first time the chirashi bowl. I order this every time I go for sushi. It was by far the worst I've ever had. It came with two pieces of tuna, salmon, and white fish, one shrimp, fake crab, and egg. Typically, a chirashi bowl will have up to four times that much fish and a much better variety. The server has to how it was when I said it was very disappointing she said, "sorry" and that's all. I'll go back but I won't ever order that again. read more

I'm a sushi snob, and this is a great place. I go here at least once a week. Super fresh fish, and great sushi rice. Unlike others they use real crab and wild salmon. Go casual or dressy. I love the large sashimi portions. If you're not into raw fish that much try the gyoza, Fuji Yama, and Kazu rolls. Sake is delish also!! read more

NO REPEAT BUSINESS FOR THIS LOCATION.... I live nearby and finally got to try out what I had hoped would be a positive experience as the are right around the corner from home.....UNFORTUNATELY, I was very disappointed. In short, they grossly over charge for what they offer and their presentation is lacking any artistic flair for your typical sushi chef. After waiting over 30 minutes for my order, I made my way home...as soon as I opened the box, I saw my order was wrong. I immediately called and asked for the waitress who worked the door and told her my order wasn't right, she asked my what I had ordered and what was incorrect, then put me on hold and after a minute picked up and read my order back to me that she placed with the chef..and said isn't that what you got? I said yes, but what you placed is not what I ordered nor what I told you, her response...she only writes down what people tell her nothing more and she wrote what I said. And she hung up. Wow!!! She didn't give a damn, nor apologize, nor offer any help, just an argument. I took a picture of the order and put it in the fridge. Someone will eat it. FOR MY $60.00 (55+ tip) I WILL GO ELSEWHERE Siam Orchid is right down the street and now I know why they are ALWAYS busy... . read more

So I used to come to here all the time I love the sushi and everything it was about a 4 start for me. I moved to Massachusetts and I came back down to Florida to visit family and I came to eat at my favorite sushi place (Kazu). I order what I usually get which is salmon sushi. But they had toro on the menu so I decided to try there toro. Ive already had toro at other sushi bars and its so soft and tender but when I order it and got it the sushi was extremely chewy and it tasted like raw steak. I was deeply shocked this was definitely not toro. Then when I started to eat my salmon sushi there was a bone in my fish. I was deeply disappointedI probably won't be coming here again sadly. read more

Favorite Sushi restaurant! Food is fresh and extremely tasty. The staff is amazing!! Try this place, you will NOT be disappointed!!

Used to be good.  They now rely on that reputation and have a crazy arrogant attitude and poor food.   Our $50 sushi special had little variety and tasted off the mark. Like it was old fish, not fresh. Turns out you can NOT speak to a manager or the owner if you have an issue Rather, you will be berated by Corrine that the problem is with you! Pass it by and find a new place that will actually care about the qualith of food and be happy to have you as a customer. read more

Lunch specials are great. Affordable and big portions. Friendly staff and quick service. Can get busy at lunchtime some days.

went to kazu last week, based solely on the reviews ive read. took a date. place is quaint, and was on a wait, but not bad. got seated, looked at the menu, but wasn't very impressed with the lack of creativity regarding the specialty rolls. nothing really stood out, so we ordered a couple rolls and a appetizer to share. was a little surprised that they only had one selection of either white or red wine. the house, but it was ok. the food came, it was just barely average, and the rolls were small. especially for the price. we decided we needed to order one more roll, and the one with the grilled salmon on top sounded best. it came out, and we started in on it. i thought it tasted kind of odd, so i peeled away the salmon on top. to my shock, i found that it wasnt even salmon meat, it was just the fat! when they charred it, it melted the fat right down into the rest of the roll and saturated it with grease. this left an awful aftertaste in both of our mouths, and just never sat right afterwards. we express our concern to the waitress, and that this was unacceptable, however all she could say was sorry and did nothing about it. they left it on the bill, which was right at 100.00 for 4 glasses of wine, three rolls and a appetizer. not terribly expensive, but not a great deal even if the food was good which it was not. i wont be going back. read more

Hidden gem in Stuart. The food, customer service and atmosphere is excellent. The servers know you by name and always make you feel welcome. We tend to take out at least once a week and have been coming here since we moved to Stuart in April. Always outstanding. Highly recommend the beef tataki and salmon deluxe rolls! read more

Amazing sushi, absolutely the best! Everything on menu is top shelve, no cut corners, service to match. Owner operated makes sure for special dinning. read more

Short and sweet, I love this place!!! Some of the best seaweed salad I've ever had!!! Summer roll is great, cucumber wrapped tuna roll with eel sauce, awesome! Real California roll, the real crab meat is so sweet! I would recommend this place to anyone in the surrounding area as well as anyone just driving through!!! read more

Love this place. Food is fantastic and the staff is wonderful. Best sushi in town. If you aren't a sushi lover, there are plenty of great dishes for you to try that are cooked. read more

Absolute best sushi in Stuart, hands down!

Great sushi and an amazing selection of premium sake! Service is acceptable. Friendly waiters that remember us. I would probably say its the best sushi in Stuart. We will be returning. read more

I can't recall the service ever being bad here, it stinks that people have had bad experiences because this is hands-down the best sushi I've had in Florida and the prices are really reasonable. It's a very small place and they get pretty busy so maybe that's why the service is sometimes hit or miss. read more

Worst sushi I have ever had. Terrible service too. If I wasn't with guests I would have sent it all back except for the yellow tail which was passable. The toro looked and tasted like an old piece of leather. Wish I could have sent it back. On top of it all sloooow. First bad review I have ever written. This place needs to step up their game. read more

Some of the best sushi on the Treasure coast! Great selection of Saki! The rolls are amazing. nice atmosphere, not old and dingy like other sushi places around here. Surprsingly gets a younger crowd which is hard to do in this area. I love love sushi and would drive to Del ray for sushi. Dont let the strip mall fool. I can honestly say Kazu is just as good as some of the sushi restaurants in New York and LA. My search is over for a fabulous sushi place right her in Stuart! read more

Our favorite sushi restaurant in Stuart. Definitely AS GOOD AS IT GETS in this area. Fish is so fresh and the sake selection is amazing. The Japanese cooked food is fabulous, too. Bring your friends, have a birthday party, or dine solo ... the staff is so accommodating and always happy to welcome you again and again. read more

This sushi is as good as it gets. Kazu is authentic japanese and he has been well established for many years. My wife and I eat there once a week. The best in town! read more

We love this place. The sushi is excellent. The restuarant is small so if you go on the weekend chances of waiting for a table are very high. They do have a large sake selection. However I am not a sake drinker so I can not comment. The staff is very friendly and remembers repeat customers. read more
