We really enjoyed Kaze. There was a 30 min wait so we sat at the bar and had drinks. Great service and awesome drinks. When our grill table was ready, ordering was easy and cool was entertaining. We will deer back!

I stumbled upon this and it was confirmed by a friend as a good place when I asked since it was in their neck of the woods. It's a modern, but chic-looking establishment. It has a nice bar area where I sat and had amazing, fast and friendly service from the bartender. She made my drinks to perfection as well. The beef bulgogi lettuce wraps appetizer could have been a meal on its own but I decided to take it further and continue with the hibachi option and got the hibachi steak option with noodle and rice. IT did NOT disappoint. The portions were very large and I was happy because I had lunch for work the next day lol My ginger salad was actually much fresher than I'm used to as well, and the miso soup were was your round the way dish. Overall, I'd definitely recommend!

It was alright. I've been there twice, strictly because my family likes hibachi and most of them go there for birthday celebrations. Both times, we had to wait about a half hour after our reservation for tables. As I don't really care for the performance food, I usually just get sushi or whatever. One time I had the sushi cake, hand rolls and Toro. The Toro is "fatty tuna," the hand rolls were hand rolls and the sushi cake is described as "Layered sushi rice, spicy tuna, avocado, tempura crunch topped with eel sauce, spicy mayo and tobiko." The food itself was very expensive and the packed house experience is less than inviting. I'm just not the type of person who enjoys such settings, but I suck it up for special occasions. Still, I can't bring down the business because it's "not for me," as everyone else seemed to enjoy themselves. It's not easy to park on a busy night either. The fried ice cream was also very tasty and well prepared. Again, the food was good because I chose to stray from the heavy sodium and high frying. But it costs to do so. Best, A.

We went to celebrate our Anniversary and Valentine's Day and had an amazing chef Mauricio. My partner ordered the Land & Sea with Scallops and I had the Jumbo Shrimp. It was soooo good. The scallops were cooked perfectly (I took a bite). I love that you get both rice & noodles. I was skeptical because the reviews were only 3 stars but it definitely must have changed something. I was glad that we enjoyed it as much as we did so I don't have to drive all the way to Crabtree to go to Kanki. I think they remodeled the place because it looked different from the last time I almost ate there. It was super chill at the hibachi grill and our server Ceasar was also super attentive. He made sure I didn't have any onions because I am allergic.

Their new location. Is beautiful. They have stepped it up in all fronts including price. We weren't able to get a grill seat soon enough, so we ate at a table. The food was amazing. My husband got the sashimi deluxe. It was pretty incredible. I child shared my hibachi...which was plenty of food for both of us. The service was great. Everyone was in great spirits. We will be back.

TLDR: Teppanyaki-style restaurant in Garner with excellent food and large portions. Pricy, but comparable to kanki and worth it for the occasional treat. Oooh a Japanese steakhouse in Garner?? Yay! As fans of Kanki in Crabtree, we were excited to try out Kaze. While sick, I was craving rice and miso soup so we ordered takeout from here. It is pricy, but we knew it would be having been to this style of restaurant before. The menu is very similar to kanki or similar teppanyaki-style restaurants. I appreciate this since it was easy to order. We chose the hibachi shrimp dinner and steak dinner. It was delicious and exactly what I was craving. The miso soup was perfect and everything was flavored well. Plus we received a lot of white sauce. When ordering you can choose between the white sauce, ginger sauce, or both. I recommend the white sauce with the hibachi and the ginger dressing for the salad. The salads were fresh and crisp. The portion sizes are quite large so I made one entree last 3-4 meals. Even with takeout, the meal was warm when it arrived. The items were packaged well and ready for pick-up when expected. Overall, we had a great experience here and recommend this restaurant to others!
