Definitely will frequent this location again. Everything was near perfect. There are many dishes on their Instagram account I'd like to try.
Incidentally, if you're not familiar with this type of dishes their IG account is a great guide.

You know a place is good if you see a lineup. Don’t let that deter you though; Kazu is worth the wait as their food is so tasty at very reasonable prices.

My sister & I arrived around 7:15 PM on a Sunday night & waited about half an hour to be seated. The service was great & the food was delicious. We were seated at the bar & were concerned with the table space as we ordered a ton of dishes. Surprisingly, everything fit & the pace of the food coming out was perfectly timed. We may be small girls but we have big appetites so we cleared those plates. No crumbs we will be back!

Went here for a friend’s bday & it was amazing! We were 6 so we expected a long wait (1h30) but it was TOTALLY worth it. We had the shrimp burger, chirashi, beef bibimbap & 48h porc & every dish was amazing!
