Kazu @ Bukit Damansara is the kind of place that quietly delivers Michelin-level flavors without the inflated price tag. As someone who’s had a fair share of premium sushi across KL (and beyond), I can confidently say that Kazu’s Otoro and Uni offerings are some of the best — and most reasonably priced — in the city.
⸻
🐟 Otoro – Buttery, Fresh & Generous
The otoro here is absolutely sublime. Every piece was thick-cut, buttery soft, and luxuriously marbled — melting on the tongue with just the right touch of temperature and texture. Whether it was served as sushi, sashimi, or in their signature rolls, the quality was undeniable. And unlike many high-end spots, the portions were generous, and they let the fish speak for itself — minimal seasoning, maximum flavor.
🍣 Uni – Briny Perfection
The Hokkaido uni was equally impressive — fresh, sweet, and creamy with no unpleasant aftertaste (a true test of uni quality). It came in several forms: as a topping on nigiri, layered in rolls, and even paired with wagyu for an indulgent surf-and-turf bite. Each variation was thoughtfully balanced and let the uni shine. The best part? Prices were shockingly fair given the quality — especially compared to typical KL fine dining sushi spots.

💰 Great Value for Quality
Kazu nails the balance between premium ingredients and a down-to-earth, honest price point. For the quality of the otoro and uni alone, you’d expect to pay nearly double at a typical omakase or luxury sushi bar — but here, it’s accessible without compromise.

🌿 Atmosphere & Service
The space is warm, stylish, and unpretentious. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to walk through the menu or make pairing suggestions. The vibe is casual enough for a weekday dinner, but elevated enough for a special occasion.
⸻
✅ Final Verdict:
If you’re an otoro or uni lover, Kazu is a no-brainer. You get world-class ingredients, beautifully prepared, at a price that leaves you smiling instead of sweating. This spot is a true hidden gem in Bukit Damansara, and I’ll absolutely be back to explore more of their menu — but the otoro and uni will always be on my table.
Highly recommended.
