They have very high quality fish and sushi options on the menu that you often only find in big city Japanese restaurants like buri belly, ama-ebi, and uni. Always ask Toshi what he has on special. Last time I was there, I had a whole horse mackerel sashimi which was the cleanest, freshest tasting mackerel I've ever had and they even fried the bones and served them to me as a second course as is the traditional way--awesome! I also concur with Temira that the ramen is good and authentic tasting. There is a nice list of sake to choose from. The decor, ambience, and even the look of the menu aren't too impressive, but don't be put off-- it's the fish that matters and in that regard, Kaze delivers! I've also always experienced good service, with apologies from the staff when they are slammed and get behind.
