Great food, atmosphere and service. Food was delivered really fast and it was very tasty especially the crudo raw plates. My server Kiki was great and made some great recommendations. Personal favorite is the king salmon crudo Highly recommend!

Okay so first of all let’s start with the happy hour everyday from 3-5. Even Saturdays! They do 50% off the whole menu and they add 20% gratuity which I honestly...think is more than reasonable. Literally only one thing that isn’t on the half off and it’s the steak which honestly to me is outrageously fair. Okay so pro-tip...look at the menu before you come and get some stuff put in right away because rightfully so, the place is packed. Also let’s talk about the cocktails. They’re beautiful and also half off during the happy hour. Everything is wonderful and delicious. Highly recommend, especially ag happy hour!

Very cool ambiance we were seated right away. We were coming from a different sushi place which was unsatisfying. Kaizen on the other hand was 100 percent satisfaction! Rolls and drinks were 1/2 off because of happy hour. That steak was fire!!! Will definitely coming back! Service and food are sooo worth it!

This place gets 5 stars across the board. Food, service, and atmosphere are on point. The food is light and refreshing. After sharing 2 apps, 2 entrees, a sushi roll and dessert - we were pleasantly full (but not that heavy thanksgiving meal full). The entrees aren’t large but thoughtful in flavor and presentation. With specials that not change seasonal but monthly! The service was friendly and helpful with questions. Continuous water and checking in just the right amount of time. The atmosphere is this cool retro building that has been modified for businesses. The decor and vibe plus lighting gives it a sleek comfortable atmosphere. Perfect for a date or special occasion. It also has a killer happy hour on food till 6.

As a sushi connoisseur, I can say that Kaizen is THE PLACE to go in Phoenix. We have eaten at many a place on the west coast and by far, for AZ, this is the spot. Fish on point. Excellent service. Kitchen stays open up to 10 mins before closing. Full bar. Just a wonderful experience.

I went to Kaizen with my grandmother during happy hour (3-5pm) after seeing it listed as the number one sushi place in Phoenix, a title that was definitely deserved. I took my service dog and staff provided her with water and were very respectful. I do recommend reservations as without any you will likely be seated outside. It’s very rare you have food that elicits joy but every bite of sushi here did just that.

We went for a quick bite for happy hour. They were expecting full capacity but graciously still fit us in. We ordered several sushi rolls and a couple fried dishes. The tempura batter was light and fluffy, the way it should be. The ginger and wasabi were fresh which speaks to the quality of the restaurant. The sushi rolls were served at the right temperature and in bite-size pieces. They were well compressed so they didn't fall apart when you pick them up or dip them. The decor was well put together and I loved the modern layout but it was a little confusing knowing who the host/hostess was due to where the entrance was located. All the food was delicious and well prepared. The rolls were good, but won't blow you away (Which I believe is a product of eating sushi in the desert). The only negative was related to how new the staff clearly is. They had great customer service but the front-of-house didn't have their process "fine-tuned". Would recommend for a casual night out, happy hour with friends or a relaxed date. Make a reservation on busy nights.

Great place! New happy hour hours are 3 to 5. Our waitress Kiki was superb. She went far & beyond to make us have a great experience. Crab wontons were great. Miso soup was authentic. Dragon roll & Philly roll were delicious. The sashimi bowl was good but not sure it's worth the 60. A really great culinary experience will definitely be back next time I return to Phoenix!
