    The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance with an amazing view. There are VIP rooms that you can book for a more exclusive experience with a view. Service was excellent, staffs were friendly and food is great. The sashimi is nice and fresh and they have plenty of varieties of sushi. I really liked their kaizen maki, Jurassic roll and all their mentaiko nigiris. The morikomi (the party sushi set) is really worth it when sharing with a big group. Though a bit pricier than their competitors, they have a different menu that only you can enjoy in Kaizen.

    One of the best Japanese restaurant in town, good & fast service. Great ambient restaurant by riverside, overlooking Brunei iconic water village. Recommend to book ahead before coming as it is always very crowded, very good sign they serve great Japanese food since it got a lot of repeat customers despite the fact they don't offer privilege card to regular customer, like their big competitor. Reckon if they offer same privilege card, they would have much more business and branches. Definitely worth to dine try.

    Probably the best affordable sushi place in BSB. The place is perfectly situated next to scenic river with a fantastic view diffused by bamboo plants outside the window. The interior is Zen inspired with beautifully crafted entrance that felt peaceful and inviting. Tried a few dishes and generally satisfied with the freshness and quality. The price is very reasonable for the quality, ambience and the good service. I recommend this place for work and pleasure.

    Great service, ambience (by the waterfront) and great food! Lots of unique dishes to try. Those that I ordered were fresh and yummy. Would come again if I find myself in Brunei again. Remember to book beforehand as it is really popular and gets crowded.

    Great sushi restaurant with plenty of vegetarian options and surprising combinations. I’m a great (veggie) sushi lover and this restaurant is one of the best sushi restaurants I have eaten so far! Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

    Great scenic background of Kampung Ayer in the city makes for a good location for a dine in experience. Pregnant fish was crispy. Scallop was fresh. Service was a bit irregular but served well. Ticketed parking in the front means no hassle of looking for parking. Clean restrooms.

    Definitely a worthy place for regular visits. Salmon sushi was so fresh and everything else is just yummy. The grilled teriyaki chicken was tender and perfectly done. Miso ramen and baked cheese garlic rice is also recommended. Excellent service, reasonably priced, perfectly located at the waterfront.

    One of the best, if not the best, Japanese restaurant in the world. The variety of dishes along side the warm and welcoming service is the heart and soul of this place. Naturally, the prices here are high. The location on the riverside, atmosphere, food, and the company you bring makes the place worth trying at least once.

    Best Japanese Restaurant in Brunei, or should I say the world? The variety of menu is fantastic. You have so many options available from Sushi, sashimi, nabe and etc. The Gindara Misozuke is unbeatable, smooth silky fish meat with perfect flavoring. The service crews are amazing.

    I want to eat everything here! So much to choose from - teppanyaki to ramen, to sushi, sashimi, bento, chawan mushi, lots of desserts, and the coffee machine looks nice. Going up the stairs, at this Waterfront outlet, I felt excited to see what they have to offer. The entrance shows that the owner makes full use of space. I sat at the teppanyaki bar, and I loved my food. I ordered lamb teppanyaki and salmon sushi. I loved the lamb so much! Juicy and tender, with just a little hint of vinegar. Crunchy vegetables. Great dish. My Sushi was melt in mouth. Was in Seria, and ordered Beef Tenderloin Teppanyaki and mango pudding to dessert. The Beef Tenderloin Teppanyaki was delicious and melts in the mouth; and very well cooked. I ordered for medium, and it was perfect. Juicy tender and slightly charred. The Mango Pudding was also great. Love the presentation. Definitely in my Brunei eats list. Whenever I come back to Brunei, I’m sure Kaizen is in my list to eat so much more. Definitely gonna try some ramen. And more teppanyaki. So good.

    Great food but service can be terrible [Management has responded to this problem (read below)] This is no doubt one of the best Japanese restaurants in Brunei. When the food arrives it is great. When it fails ,it really fails in terms of service. This is not the first experience with this place and this time I felt compelled to write a review of this experience as I had a hiatus for a year in returning to this place. Came at 1130am sharp to have a quick lunch before a meeting. I was one of the earliest to enter the premise. Placed my order immediately (teriyaki bento deluxe). Half an hour later the order never came, green tea was not even being served. I was looking over some work documents as I waited so the green tea didn't bother me that much. Can you imagine? All 4 staff walking past my table but never bothered to pour the green tea? My cup was on the edge of the table. The manager, Mark, walked pass me a few times during the wait but never bothered to check why my order never came and why I wasn’t serve tea yet. He told his staff but it took another 5 minutes just to get the tea. One of the staff looked concerned and asked if I had ordered yet. I replied I did. The staff member came back to tell me that my order will take some time. As I suspected, the staff 'Emma' did not write down the order. I called for the manager 'Mark' and asked him to check. He then came back to apologise but refused to acknowledge that my order was not placed. I couldn't accept this and went to find the staff 'Emma' who took my order. She admitted she did not take my order and apologised. The manager Mark apologised to me as well and said he will have a word with her. I mean he just covered for her in denying that she did not order it, you could tell they discussed about it briefly. You really think Filipinos would gang up against each other? It was really insincere how the whole 3 staff dealt with this. The other staff member lied about the order would take a long time (it was 35 minutes!). I just wanted a quick lunch and came early. Instead my order was never taken down. It is not the first time this has happened and this manager is one of the sloppiest manager I have seen. Pay attention if he ever takes your order or if you make an additional order, he wears a grey shirt. He took my order a year ago and the same thing happened. ---- Despite what had happened and upon a few hours of this review, the management located and responded to me through DM in my social media account. This is well appreciated and very professional from their team who cares about their business. Hopefully their staff can be more attentive in future.

    By far the most amazing sushi I've ever eaten. The fish is super fresh, all the pieces are extremely tasty, the service is very nice and the ambience of the place is awesome. My favorite place to eat in Brunei, so far. Nice price-quality relation.

    The worst service restaurant in brunei they don’t have a feeling to kids customers, I was the first who ordered in our table for the kids food the food 1hr after just arrived, I just don’t mind how long as the kids enjoy their chawa mushi, I order the water for 5 times keep on follow up sampai the kids screaming for water but the waitress seems they don’t heard anything..they supposed to change all the waiter to a local people in brunei than hiring Pilipino orang that they are heartless and Ruthless.. thumps up to the worst restaurant in brunei. I don’t have any desire to comeback to this worst place at all, not worth to come,but the kids like very much the chawa mushi anyway I just come here also because of the kids at the first place..but in the end they don’t serve what kind of service they supposed to be deserve .

    Good quality Japanese restaurant which has better than average quality ingredients. Food prices are expensive for Brunei street food but reasonably by western standards. Expect to pay around 15-20 Brunei dollars for a Bento and simple drink.

  • 2/5 Jared L. 3 years ago on Google
    Went to Kaizen Sushi in KB, booked the time around 6.30 for dinner to be 6.45 or 7 on Wednesday 8th July and the reception was very rude over the phone demanding us to make a decision on the time and rudely said we have to finish in an hour's time. This was for my birthday too so it spoiled the atmosphere already plus their manager on site kept jelling at us which we truly didn't appreciate at all. She kept staring at us and her customer service is very poor. It wasn't a pleasant experience especially since I've been to Kaizen with my family always since the beginning at Kiarong branch and also got to know the Lady boss there, I hope she reads this review because I know that these standards are not acceptable for representing Kaizen. The other staff were all great except these two that were mentioned.
