Was in the area recently and decided to stop by Japantown in San Jose. The area’s got that real cultural vibe with a lot of family-run shops and good energy all around. We were hungry and Kazoo caught our eye right away with the sushi boats floating by.
The restaurant was clean and overall had a nice feel to it. The staff was very welcoming and attentive throughout the time we were there. If you sit in the middle section, you get access to the conveyor belt, which is fun to watch with all the different plates going around. The sushi boats are definitely a cool touch, a bit of a novelty, but it makes the experience more fun, especially if it’s your first time here.
Food came out fresh, and they’ve got plenty of options beyond the sushi boats. Some of the items were a little on the pricey side and not everything stood out flavor-wise, but nothing bad. Overall, solid spot to grab sushi if you’re in Japantown, this place has good food and worth checking out.

Not my favorite place for sushi. The food was average, and the lady serving us couldn’t answer some of our questions. The atmosphere also didn’t feel cozy or welcoming. There are many better sushi spots in the Bay Area, so I wouldn’t recommend this one.

One of the best Japanese dining experience we’ve had in California. A bit of wait time on main entrees but heck, well worth it. Waitress super friendly

We had dinner at Kazoo in Japantown the day after Thanksgiving—it was the only Japanese restaurant open, so we were happy to find a warm, welcoming spot.
We ordered the unagi don (grilled eel over rice) and the beef udon:
The unagi was tender with a nice char and a sweet-savory glaze. Generous portion, and the rice was fluffy and flavorful.
The beef udon came in a light, comforting broth. Noodles had a good chew, and the beef was soft and satisfying.
Service was quick, and the staff was friendly. One surprise: if you sit at the counter, your sushi arrives on a little bullet train delivery system—super cool and fun to watch.
Would we go back? Definitely, especially for the udon on a chilly night.
Domo Arigatou!

Service was great – very friendly and efficient.
Two big screen TVs on sports.
Small boats with sushi covered with plastic domes going on the water in the middle and
then additional seatings along both walls.
Dragon roll was good; grilled salmon skin had a bit more burnt taste than I like. The ginger was good. The tea complimented all of the flavors and there was no charge for the tea. I would like to go again and try their bento boxes next.

First pure Japanese restaurant I have ever been to. Sushi does not only look amazing but you can also feel the freshness of all the ingredients. The owner is very sympathetic and open to small conversation. On top of that I really do like the basic interier which makes you feel like you are really somewhere in Japan. Do not forget to order the tea to prepare your mouth for extraordinary experience of taste.
Thanks a lot for making my day! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Finally tried Kazoo for the first time today. Walked in after 6pm on a Friday and got sat and greeted right away. There are many rude and misleading reviews here claiming this place is “just sushi from the 90s” (as if the decades running a business in Japantown are bad?), and I’m ashamed it took me over a year to try this place because of them. Some said the place was “old” and “just okay”. But the grilled eggplant with miso was equally delicious and well-presented. My husband got poke nachos, which is a fairly modern dish (the chips were crispy wontons). Takoyaki was only $4.95 and our 3 rolls were $5.95 each, so it’s difficult to guess where the “overpriced” reviews came from.
Overall, the food was delicious, the service was great, and the prices were good. I’ll definitely be back soon!
