The ultimate best sushi place! Texture, flavors, selection! Smaller bites because of the less rice but its just makes more perfectly balanced! And the low carb rolls to die for!
Vulcano 5 start! Thanks for the real experience!

Stopped in for dinner and found it was a pre opening night but was welcomed in still. The staff was nice and friendly. The food was excellent I had the gyoza for a appetizer which was delicious then I had some shrimp sushi which the shrimp was fresh and tasty. For the main dish I had the chicken fried rice which was very flavorful and the chicken was tender and juicy. Will be visiting again soon.

So I have been to Kaizen about 15 times now and definitely the best sushi restaurant I have ever been to in my life. They have the most unique rolls and freshest Sushi I have ever had. The husband and wife owners come and say hello every time I have been there. They make you feel so welcomed. Highly recommend this place

We are staying in Florida for a little vacation from Michigan. We tried this place out for the first time. Due to Covid, we did not feel comfortable going out or eat. This place had by far, the best sushi. It was fresh, fast and affordable! I was worried about getting carry-out sushi but it did not disappoint. It was amazing!!!!!!

Wow! Excellent sushi and appetizers! Our party had the salad with ginger dressing, gyoza, crab Rangoons, and shrimp tempura. All excellent! I ordered the Hawaiian roll and had the Vanilla ice cream with the chocolate cake! Very tasty and satisfying! The staff are very friendly. We will be back.

The chef came to our table and made suggestions. They were all terrific, and included one item that wasn't on the menu. Every roll we ordered was delicious. We are so glad we found this place and we'll be back soon!

Very impressive hidden gem! The sushi was all really fresh, well prepared, great flavor combos in the rolls, friendly staff, good parking, etc. The real surprise was how amazing the lamb chops were! They were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and a wonderful sauce that complimented them without overpowering! We also enjoyed some good sake from the bar and tried the iced green tea. The owner was friendly and cordial also. Will definitely be going back!

I read the reviews on this place and was very excited to try it out. The ambience is nice and the service is pretty outstanding. You can tell that the food is made with high quality ingredients; it s delicious! I had the seared scallops and they were very fresh and good. My husband had the chicken teriyaki and he loved it. Also, it doesn t hurt that the prices are reasonable. We ll be coming back very soon!

Wow, what an experience. High quality food, friendly wait staff and pleasant ambience. The Sushi is one of the best we ever had. Try the Tofu appetizer, just wonderful and if you are vegetarian, Lucky roll is a hit. The Martinis are delicious and not over priced. This was our second time and we will be back.

This restaurant is the one I always prefer. I eat in many restaurants but to this one I constantly return again and again. The crew is very affectionate and the cooking they cook is so fresh and tasty. I would always prefer to have a decent dinner here. I recommend this place with pleasure.

Fabulous, fresh, creative seafood dishes: baby octopus, lobster tails with ginger.

Less-than-exciting beef dish.

Very good service. Clean, contemporary interior. Limited parking. We will return. Recommended for seafood only.

Couldn't be more pleased with my first experience at this brand new restaurant. Staff was wonderful, be sure to speak with Qui the sushi chef.. he knows how to create some very tasty rolls. Ask for the specials! Prices are incredibly reasonable for the size and quality of the product. In an area full of sushi options this is a STAND OUT. I'll be back, often!

Kaizen was suggested to us while we were vising from out of state to curb a craving for sushi.

This place was fantastic. From the appetizer to the entrees, the food was tasty and fresh. I would highly recommend this for anyone in the area.

WOW!!!!! What else can I say. If you love high quality sushi, and you love to try things other than the typical California roll and Tuna sushi, than this is the place to go. I happened in on a Wednesday night, by myself, on business and I was amazed at what I had found. Having been to Japan over 20 times in my life, eaten sushi over the last 30 years in Chicago, New York and LA, I found this place to be on par with anything I have had before. Let s start with service. I sat at the sushi bar where my waitress was Leigh Ann, and she was fantastic. But she was assisted by many others who helped me through out the evening. It was not one of those places where three people walked passed you and never acknowledged your presence. Everyone that walked passed asked if I needed anything. Leigh Ann and the rest of the team were awesome. The sushi chef is Que, (pronounced Wi). He is truly amazing with what he is doing with sushi. Like I said before, I have been eating sushi a long time so it s hard to surprise me, but Que really knows what he is doing and is very passionate about the food he prepares. He served me Salmon belly like I have never had it prepared before. It was delicious. The Uni was so fresh and tasted just like it was caught yesterday. I m not a big fan of sushi rolls but he made me a summer roll that was simply delicious. Parking is a little tight but you can park across the street. If you have any problems just give them a call and they will instruct you where you can park. If you are in the area and looking for great quality sushi, please give this place a try. You will not be disappointed.

We went to
# KAIZEN Sushi Bar and Grill
5640 North Federal Hwy East side . Small plaza
For a late lunch. It was very quiet at 3:30 in the afternoon. Very friendly.
We started with a Plum wine , plus a Merlot and the crab Rangoon, which had a lot of cream cheese and it came with a spicy sweet-and-sour sauce. Looked real nice .
Then G had the Volcano roll which came with tuna.
I had the Lobster maki w/o the tuna. Big pieces. Really good .

Wow! What an amazing experience I had at Kaizen! I am a sushi lover and I work in the hospitality industry and it s been a long time since I ve written a review but this restaurant deserves the praise! The staff were so friendly and owners were so kind, pleasant and guiding us through the menu with ease. My friends and I tried a plethora of items ranging from dumplings to uni! The walnut shrimp were so luscious and the sauce has just enough acid to compliment the creamy components. We then had an Omakase experience with our sushi portion of the dinner. The fish were so fresh! We had aji, shima aji as part of the display and it was so light and fresh! The best thing about the rolls was the amount of rice, it was the perfect ratio to the fish and veggies. I hate it when the rolls are rice heavy. My two favorite things that I ate was the Japanese scallop sashimi which was topped off with ikura and a slight touch of yuzu and it was heavenly. Lastly I finished the meal with Japanese uni sashimi on fried shiso leaf and it was honestly one of the best I ve eaten in a long time. Honestly I can keep going about the amazing items I ate but you just have to try it for yourself! Can t wait to come back and have another Yuzu martini!

In my humble opinion this restaurant is one of the best gems in fort Lauderdale. The service is great and the owner extremely attentive. He is also well versed in sushi. Besides the normal and traditional types of sushi, the chef brings fish imported from all over the world. It is a pleasure to dine there. Noodle dishes and appetizers are great. Somebody has mentioned ina review that the service belonged to a diner. i think she is completely wrong

Thank you KAIZEN Sushi Bar & Grill for making a tasty chirashi bowl! I have had many different ones and have been waiting for one like this! You not only get fresh slices of fish, but this bowl has some tasty layers of pickled veggies and mushrooms, sprinkles of sesame seeds and seaweed! I appreciate the effort to make this bowl special.

Love this family operated restaurant! The owners are just the nicest people and they really made us feel at home. We cannot wait to come back again soon!

When you sit down, they give you markers so you can mark down what you would like to order.

The amazing lamb chops is so good. It's cooked perfectly and the sauce is finger licking good.

We like a lot of fresh sushi rolls and hand rolls so this is where the markers came in handy.

If you want to splurge, please get Toro. You won't be disappointed. We tried both the Toro hand-roll and Toro sushi.

We also got uni and eel rolls. HEAVENLY!

They recommended the Rock and roll and KAIZEN roll. Kaizen roll is super light and refreshing with the mango. We really enjoyed it.

This place is absolutely incredible. The owners are amazing people who will go above and beyond to make sure you have the very best experience. The knowledge and passion behind the sushi chef specials are amongst the best in the world, Qui is definitely a once in a generation chef and just the nicest person. This place will soon become one of the top 20 places to eat in all of south florida. Definitely recommend giving them a try.

First time here- husband and I. Left the baby with the grandparents. Such a nice experience! We have our favorite sushi place around here but Kaizen has blow it out of the water with quality of food, price, and customer service. Junior was so friendly and on top of everything! Our bartender was friendly and made great drinks. And Qui I believe was the owner, went around and spoke with every table- making sure Everything was up to par. He also cleaned up tables and got them ready for the next party- now that s a perfect example of a great leader. Would highly recommend and this has now become a new spot for us to visit frequently!

Delicious flavorful food and very good friendly attentive service. The Kaizen Roll is my favorite and they have the best version of the Volcano Roll where the topping isn t a lot of mayonnaise. All the appetizers we ve tried have also been very good!

Photos don't do the justice this food deserves. This is hands down the best sushi you are going to find anywhere. Everything is top tier. The chef Qui is so into the food and knows everything about the different fish. You have to try anything he suggest. Once you've had this sushi, you won't get it anywhere else. You'll finally understand what quality is. I love everything here from the house salad with the best ginger dressing you have ever had to the Ocean Trout and Blue Fin Tuna. It's not just great food, but the staff is awesome also. This is the best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale because the service is on point and the quality is 5 stars. There are so many other menu items I want to try, but I can't get away from the sushi. Make sure you sit at the sushi bar if you want to learn about the fish because Qui will tell you. After going there a couple times, he'll remember your name and that's what you want. Nothing like a business that takes pride in their product. 6 STARS if Google would let me.

Chef Qui is a Sushi genius, no contest. I have sampled MANY other restaurants in the area but none come close to the freshness, creativity and captivation of this establishment. Do yourself a favor and stop eating mediocre sushi, eat Kaizen sushi!! *Update 12/19* Our 2nd dinner was just as delicious as the 1st! The service is attentive and the fish are straight from Japan. We had 7 different fish to choose from and we chose 2. I am thrilled!! This sushi bar is a hidden gem that everyone should try.
