So first things first. The Food is amazing. Everything I ordered came and it didn't disappoint. Secondly, the Atmosphere is not too amazing. There's Japanese Art around the place but I feel like it could have more. It's not so bad but you might get bored looking at the same things. But it doesn't really matter when you go with friends and family. The third thing on this list is the service. It could have been much better.
We were placed at a table and we waited there for a good 15 mins, waiting for someone to come by. After that, we got our drinks and food with no problems. After we finished our food we asked for the check. We accidentally gave them a 50% tip (miss press) and we couldn't undo what we have done in that moment. So we asked if they could do something about it. Our waiter said that we will get a full refund but in 4 to 5 business days. We didn't have much cash after that purchase so we had to pay out of pocket for the meal, but we couldn't leave a tip. Because we didn't have enough cash. The receptionist at the entrance kept asking why we weren't giving them a tip when we were trying to pay for the meal. It was a bit embarrassing to admit that we didn't have enough. So we apologized, but at this point they demanded a tip. We literally didn't have enough. So we paid for the meal and left. Tummies full of delicious sushi, but completely disgusted by...
Read moreI was here during a team building moment organized in order to have a brainstorming about restaurant reviews so I didn't have a lunch or dinner but I can appreciate the hospitality of the owner and share some specialty with the team. The kitchen staff offers us many different variety of fish and also a very good meat cooked on the grill. I really loved the Oysters that were cooked in a way never tasted from me. The restaurant is pretty big, typical family owned style and was really warm. There are no too sits so it's better to book your table or you would be placed on the bar side where a tapis roulant Will bring you some dish freshly made by the Cook. I tasted also the green tea that was delicious and the right drink with this kind of food. Have a look of the pictures I load in order to see the variety of food and the presentation that is the same used for the normal service. For sure if I'll return in San José I would like to return here to taste a full lunch/dinner at Kazoo. This is placed in the Japan town of San José so if you came in advance you can have a walk in this zone where there are many little...
Read moreThis place has a kinda worn down sleepy vibe, chilliest sushi place I had ever been to. Two little old very American women sitting near me, very smacky in their eating, talking about how they knew a kid that knew how to use chopsticks. Kid had them in his backpack. Oh cuz he grew up abroad. Kid wondered why anyone used tweezers. He brought them to school. Remember him thinking his chopsticks were cooler. “I love the petena of these tables… old… what is it”, “linoleum I think. They have had these as long as I have come here since the 80s” … Ok foods here. This is a no spoon miso soup place, it’s a thing, so drink it from the bowl when it’s the only thing they bring out. Got a bento with Chicken katsu, it is like panko chicken breading, and a hot tea. The tempura was probably the best tempura I ever had, except the thicker carrot that didn’t get cooked through. Not sure about the dipping sauce with some paste, it is very strong. They had lots of sushi roll options that looked pretty good. I would give it another chance, but not for the vibe just the good food and service. I...
