Kazoku — Restaurant in New Cairo City

I felt it in my heart whn the reviews were too shallow. This place is not worth at all. Food review: It is overpriced and doesnt offer any “japanese” food at all. I got a beef udon plate and i got a ridiculous italian pasta with creamy sauce, tomatoe pieces and green leaves. Wht was that??? The portion of the sushi rolls were very small The beef tenderloin was average.. could get it at sizzler better (and half price lol)

Atmosphere: Place was too noisy and crowded while the outdoors area was closed for no apparent good reason. So if ure coming here to sit in a nice atmosphere.. they dont have it.

Service: The waiter was nice. BUT THE STAFF AT THE FRONT (manager included) were complete idiots. They ruined the day for us actually. I had company with me, and we dressed normally in a smart casual manner for a date. They didnt want to allow us in because my partner wore long shorts! And the staff and the front desk had us “beg” to go in as per our reservation. Their website said nothing about shorts… and whn i called to confirm the reservation, no one mentioned it. This is plain stupid. I was turned off from dining in until my partner convinced me it is fine and we should try the place before making any statements. Absolutely ridiculous lol to be told u cant walk in bec ure wearing shorts?? There r not football shorts misters.

Overall it's not so bad. However I dont understand what's all the fuss about. If you ask around the answers and expressions you get will make you think it's an out of this world experience while in fact it's just a normal restaurant. 1- they stress a lot about the dress code. In fact the called me 2 times and sent me a message all in the course of 24hr. Dress code is semi formal or smart casual they say 😏. Well when we got there half of the ppl were un Jean's and tshirts. What a surprise. 2- dinner service is at 7.00pm or 10.00pm. We were booked for 10.00 and they insisted that we will not be allowed in if we arrive late. Well guess what, some ppl were arriving at 12.00 and their seats were waiting 🙄 3 - the food is nice, well presented, and clean. Note: the fresh juice is not fresh 🤫 4- the waiters are very attentive 5- over priced by a MILE OUT

And before I forget EXTREMELY LOUD

Conclusion.

If you are a group of friends that enjoy dressing up, show off for paying more, and want a loud crowd. Then this is definitely your spot.

If you are looking for a quiet or romantic dinner...
