Master Critic Review
Kaze Sushi and Thai
8.4
A small BYOB neighborhood room that delivers its best sushi-roll visits when you keep the order focused: one specialty roll as the anchor, then one simple maki to round it out. The consistency in ratings across platforms suggests it’s become a repeatable local default rather than a one-time splurge.
Must-Try Dishes:
OMG Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Dragon Roll

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered and unmetered street parking along Belmont Ave and nearby side streets; usually manageable early, tighter after 6:30pm.
Dress code: Casual to smart-casual. Jeans and sneakers are common, but date-night outfits won’t feel out of place.
Noise level: Moderate. Small room with steady chatter, but you can comfortably hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes during peak hours without a reservation, shorter if you arrive early.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or a very short wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – multiple veggie rolls, avocado- and cucumber-based maki, and vegetable sides.
Vegan options: Limited – a few vegetable rolls work if you skip sauces; best to ask staff about fish sauce use.
Gluten-free options: Limited – sashimi and some simple rolls can work, but soy sauce substitutions aren’t always guaranteed.
Best For
Better for: Consistent specialty rolls, BYOB flexibility, and repeatable neighborhood sushi nights without downtown pricing.
Skip if: You want a large, high-energy sushi bar experience or a deep omakase-style menu—look elsewhere for that.
