One of the best Japanese dining experience we’ve had in California. A bit of wait time on main entrees but heck, well worth it. Waitress super friendly

They were taking a lot of huge DoorDash orders when I walked in. However, I was still quickly taken care of. Sat and got my Sprite quickly, same with ordering and receiving my food. Ah, the food. Everything was very good. I got Bento Box C with sashimi and deep fried items. The sashimi was tasty and buttery, there was panko shrimp, imitation crab, white fish, and potstickers. The fishing potstickers were the best of that selection. I got a spicy tuna roll as well. Very tasty and not too spicy. The stand out however was the miso soup! Hands down the best miso soup that I have ever had, and I've had the soup at quite a few different places all over California. If it wasn't so far out of the way on my drive home I would stop and get some to go! P.S. When I got my bill, I did get some to go but now it's gone and I miss it... 😟

Not my favorite place for sushi. The food was average, and the lady serving us couldn’t answer some of our questions. The atmosphere also didn’t feel cozy or welcoming. There are many better sushi spots in the Bay Area, so I wouldn’t recommend this one.

Was in the area recently and decided to stop by Japantown in San Jose. The area’s got that real cultural vibe with a lot of family-run shops and good energy all around. We were hungry and Kazoo caught our eye right away with the sushi boats floating by. The restaurant was clean and overall had a nice feel to it. The staff was very welcoming and attentive throughout the time we were there. If you sit in the middle section, you get access to the conveyor belt, which is fun to watch with all the different plates going around. The sushi boats are definitely a cool touch, a bit of a novelty, but it makes the experience more fun, especially if it’s your first time here. Food came out fresh, and they’ve got plenty of options beyond the sushi boats. Some of the items were a little on the pricey side and not everything stood out flavor-wise, but nothing bad. Overall, solid spot to grab sushi if you’re in Japantown, this place has good food and worth checking out.

I ordered takeout from this place after finding it on Google Maps, and unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. The sushi rice was soggy and lacked the usual sushi rice flavor, which really threw off the taste. The fish was okay — edible, but not particularly fresh. Overall, it was below average sushi. The karaage chicken was so salty for some reason… Honestly, even Costco sushi tasted better than what I had here. I wasn’t expecting anything fancy, but this definitely fell short.
