I usually shy away from all you can eat sushi because of my small appetite. However, once in awhile, I would make an exception for Kaze because I love their wide selection of food and I really enjoy their sashimi.
Things that I like to order:
salmon sashimi...loads and loads of it!
Crispy dragon roll
Dragon roll
Spicy salmon roll
Breaded scallop
Popcorn chicken
In particular, I love their selection of ice cream flavours! They offer green tea, mango, ginger, coconut, red bean, and chocolate. The coconut and ginger flavours are standouts, because they contain bits of coconut and ginger in the ice cream. Even the chocolate flavour here is better than your average grocery-store bought chocolate ice cream. I always end off my meal with multiple servings of ice cream! We really go nuts for the ice cream.Listed in: 30-Day Yelp Challenge

A tried and true staple in my menu. Ever since this place opened a few years ago, this has been the one that everything else gets compared to.
It is literally a few minutes from my house which always a plus when dining out. The decor is minimal and the seats are too comfortable as they are just wooden bench seats but they make up for it in the food.
Their menu is a double sided and has everything that you can think of. They even add some special rolls that are unique to their location, honestly not the best but it's something that sets them apart.
They're pretty good at remember everything you ordered, unless you were talking too fast and they didn't catch it to write it down. The only down side is that if you go on a weekday for lunch, there's only one server and it's the owner and she doesn't speak English very well and when you order, order extremely slow but again everything does come.
Every time I go somewhere else, I always need to come back to this place as it is like mom's home cooking to me, it may not be the best but when you eat it, you're extremely satisfied. -

All you can eat sushi!
I love it. It's one of my favorite things. I've been to many all-you-can-eat sushi places before but none like this. The amount and variety of food they have to offer is astounding.
The decor is very nice. High vaulted ceilings, large windows, clean white booths with light green accents, and green planters. Walking into the restaurant feels light, refreshing, and welcoming.
What's nice about Kaze is you order as you go. Sushi isn't sitting on a train, or at a buffet table. A waiter comes, you order, order more, and more until the act of speaking becomes too strenuous. I find that many all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants have low quality fish and sushi. Kaze's quality even dwarfs some stand alone a la carte sushi restaurants with their freshness and quality rolls. I'm sure that the order as you go method helps keep their quality standards high as the sushi isn't just sitting waiting to be eaten.
They have so many items from beef sukiyaki to popcorn chicken. Their specialty rolls are great. The Fire Dragon Roll is a spider roll topped with spicy salmon and is a hit with those that like raw fish and also those that don't. Plenty of sake is on tap and everything is made fresh to order. Fish shipments come in every morning so freshness is always guaranteed. Their beef teriyaki is a must try. Thinly sliced beef, green peppers, and onions, in a teriyaki sauce that isn't thick or overly sweet.
Overall, Kaze has set the bar for all-you-can-eat sushi places and it has set it very high. Quality, quantity, and price are all very pleasing. Of all my travels, I have yet to come across any all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant of this quality.
*Note* Sashimi is not part of all-you-can-eat menu during lunch. -

We went to Kaze for an All-You-Can-Eat lunch on a Friday, and were very disappointed.
While, the place was not too busy, our server forgot our orders serveral times.
Worst of all, I haven't ever had sushi that I was so disappointed in before. The maki rolls and nigiri had an over-abundance of rice. I have eaten at many other all-you-can-eat sushi places, but never have I seen so much rice and so little anything else. What's more, the quality of the fish was very pedestrial too.
Shrimp tempura seemed like it had stayed in the fryer 2 minutes longer than it should have.
At the end we order ice-cream, which was brought out rock-hard. We spent several minutes chiseling, stabbing away at it until it finally softened enough for you to be able to eat it. -

I went to Kaze Japanese Cuisine for AYCE on a Sunday evening.
I really like the decoration, the booth seatings and the high ceiling! The theme colour of Green does give the restaurant a nice and sedating feel.
The sushi and the sashimi were all fresh and tasty. I like how they did not try to put a lot of rice in their hand rolls and sushi like other AYCE restaurant.
However, their cooked dishes do have room for improvement. I found them really salty. I did mention to the waitress, she said there is only 1 person in the kitchen so that's why the quality control of the food sometimes can be off.
The ramen is quite tasty though.. I ate 2 bowels of that.. :)
Don't try to order Seasame ice cream! They don't have it! I ask why not? They said since no one is ordering it so they are not going to stock that.. GEE, no seasame ice cream?? However I do recommend the coconut ice cream, It is really tasty with big chunks of real coconut inside!
The soft drinks are not fountain drinks! They are reallly can drinks! I though not drinking pop anymore, but I found canned ones are so much better than the one from the fountain!
The food might arrive slowly because there are only 1 sushi chef and 1 cook and 2 wait staffs.
Please note the hours which is different from what they post on the website! They close at 9 PM on Sunday and weekdays!
Please beware that they charge 10% tips on top of your bills automatically, so don't double tip!
They do offer a la carte menu with bento box and sushi set for lunch special. -

Let me tell you, the wait is worth the wait! We went for dinner on a saturday night and the place was full house. We probably had to wait 15 minutes or so. The environment was very clean which is a bonus. We decided not to have AYCE, my girlfriend and I had ordered two bento boxes. The portions were quite large that we couldn't even finish half of it and the presentation was good as well.
Overall, the food quality is great, the staff are nice. We'll be coming back next time. Be sure to make reservations to minimize the wait time especially on weekends!
Cheers to happy eating :) -

Went for afternoon AYCE lunch.
Nice ambience, huge booths! It seems like a family business? The sushi was good, with the best selection I've seen for an AYCE.
Pop comes in cans which is great.
