| - I've been on the hunt for a new sushi place nearby since Sin City Sushi closed down. We decided to give Kaizen a try. My expectations coming in were low and the reality was no better.
$26 for AYCE dinner. We got two rolls, which were incredibly bland. Rather than fill up on more blah rolls, we ordered quite a few appetizers and nigiri to make up for it. Some of their selections on AYCE are one order per person, which is pretty normal, but in the case of the nigiri (which is usually at least two pieces), they will just give you a single sliver of whatever it is, like with the fatty tuna. So not much of a chance to experience it. Most of the nigiri was pretty decent, but the squid was tough and almost slimy! It took a serious effort of will to get it down and I usually like squid. The texture has been haunting me all day the following day.
The service was a little impersonal, but quick and polite enough. There are a dozen sushi places up and down the few miles of Eastern stretching from the 215 to Anthem. Most of them are mediocre at best and I include Kaizen in that. I don't know how they all stay open. With 2 AYCE dinners, plus one large beer, and a $12 tip, our tab was just under $80. $80 for a blah meal just isn't going to cut it, so the search for a good sushi joint continues.
