KAZ Sushi Bistro sits on I St NW in Northwest Washington, D.C., where Chef Kaz and his team prepare what they call "freestyle Japanese cuisine" — dishes that draw on Japanese technique while folding in Western and other international flavors. The omakase, listed on the menu as the Kaz Tasting menu, leaves the sequence of courses to the chef rather than the guest.
The restaurant runs omakase at both lunch and dinner, a less common arrangement that lets diners sample the format without committing to a full evening out. Lunch service runs midday on weekdays, while dinner service extends into the evening Tuesday through Saturday; the restaurant is closed Sundays.
Beyond the tasting menu, the a la carte offerings include cold and hot small plates, signature sushi, rolls, and soup, along with a dessert list built around Japanese ingredients and a Western pastry sensibility. The drinks list covers sake, Japanese craft beer, and wine, plus pot-brewed Japanese tea.
KAZ Sushi Bistro falls into the moderate price tier, and reservations are handled through Tock. The restaurant also offers takeout and delivery for lunch, dinner, or events, separate from the sit-down omakase experience.
Good to know
- How do I book the omakase at KAZ Sushi Bistro?
- Reservations are made through Tock, the online booking platform the restaurant uses.

- Both. KAZ Sushi Bistro offers its Kaz Tasting menu at lunch as well as dinner, which is less typical for omakase.
- What is KAZ Sushi Bistro's price tier?
- It is listed as moderate (tier 2 of 4), rather than a high-end splurge price point.
- What days is KAZ Sushi Bistro closed?
- The restaurant is closed on Sundays; it operates for both lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, with Monday dinner ending earlier at 8pm.
- Can I order the omakase to go?
- The omakase itself is a seated tasting menu; the restaurant's takeout and delivery service covers platters and boxes separately, so confirm with the venue if you want the tasting menu off-site.
