Top-notch sushi! We all shared ten dishes and all were excellent and well-presented. Great seasoning on the spicy edamame. Happy hour pricing is excellent with tons of options. Restaurant is hidden in what looks like a We Work converted warehouse, with no signage, so just trust Google Maps and enter at the center of the parking lot.

Very cool ambiance we were seated right away. We were coming from a different sushi place which was unsatisfying. Kaizen on the other hand was 100 percent satisfaction! Rolls and drinks were 1/2 off because of happy hour. That steak was fire!!! Will definitely coming back! Service and food are sooo worth it!

Okay so first of all let’s start with the happy hour everyday from 3-5. Even Saturdays! They do 50% off the whole menu and they add 20% gratuity which I honestly…think is more than reasonable. Literally only one thing that isn’t on the half off and it’s the steak which honestly to me is outrageously fair. Okay so pro-tip…look at the menu before you come and get some stuff put in right away because rightfully so, the place is packed. Also let’s talk about the cocktails. They’re beautiful and also half off during the happy hour. Everything is wonderful and delicious. Highly recommend, especially ag happy hour!

I went to Kaizen with my grandmother during happy hour (3-5pm) after seeing it listed as the number one sushi place in Phoenix, a title that was definitely deserved. I took my service dog and staff provided her with water and were very respectful. I do recommend reservations as without any you will likely be seated outside. It’s very rare you have food that elicits joy but every bite of sushi here did just that.

Easy going spot in warehouse district. Inside reminds me of Culinary Dropout in Tempe as a shared building. We went with another couple and just hung out until closing on a Saturday night. Service was attentive and friendly. Manager checked in on us often.Order-to-service is quick. Creative bar drinks. If getting the coffee drink, specify sweet or unsweetened. The karange appetizer – soy marinated chicken bites is really good – enough for four of us to share. The shoshito peppers are hot and “alive” (not literally but see video!). We ordered several items. Carribean King and Senor Larry went over best. The latter was crunchy.

Came here during happy hour and got a feast once we found out everything was 50% off during happy hour.

For someone coming in from out of town, this was a tad difficult to find. It is the Larry Building, but the sign for Kaizen is quite small. Once we found it, my colleagues and I were instantly blown away by the ambiance.

The food is pretty good but the service is exceptional. Believe it or not, the coffee is amazing. Great atmosphere, especially at night. Definitely worth it for happy hour!

Came here for happy hour with a friend. Love that it’s half off the entire menu. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and drink! HIGHLY recommend the Black Berry Pie drink!!
