If you have read some of my other Vegas reviews, you will know that I am not local but I visit very often and for extended periods of time. I also have a lot of friends who live in Vegas and work in the service industry. As a result, I have tried a large number of sushi bars and restaurants both on and off Las Vegas Blvd.
A friend of mine who has lived in town for 18 years took us to Kaizen one night and we sat at the bar. The food was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The nigiri was average, but the rolls we had were nothing special. It might have just been the night we went, but something did not seem right with the items that came from the fryer (like the tempura). One plus is that the price was fair and the place was open late. The service was friendly, but a bit slow. Overall, I will not likely go back. With so many options, this restaurant failed to make an impression and for the price point, I prefer Hamada down the road.
