## About Kazu

Kazu occupies a quiet corner unit in Damansara Heights, its eight-seat hinoki counter facing a chef who trained in Tsukiji's old wholesale rhythms before relocating to Kuala Lumpur. The kappo format means the meal reads as a sequence of small decisions — a flash-seared kinmedai here, a hand-pressed saba battera there — rather than a fixed script, and the fish list changes with what clears customs from Toyosu and Kyushu twice weekly. Rice is seasoned assertively with red vinegar, closer to Edomae tradition than the sweeter Kansai style more common around the city, and it shows in the color and bite of the nigiri as much as the flavour.

## Menu highlights

- **Omakase Kappo Course** RM 680 *12 to 14 courses, built around the day's fish delivery*
- **Otoro Nigiri, Aged Five Days** RM 58 *single piece, dry-aged for concentrated fat*
- **Kinmedai Shioyaki** RM 95 *salt-grilled golden eye snapper, tableside*

1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The chef aged the chutoro for what he said was four days and you could taste the difference from anywhere else in KL — softer, almost custardy at the edges. Counter seating means you watch every cut. — Wei Ling Tan · 14 May 2026 Response from Kazu Thank you Wei Ling — the chutoro batch that week was particularly good, glad it came through in the cut.
2. ★★★★☆ 4.0 Editorial sample Excellent kappo courses and the kinmedai was the highlight, though the eight-seat counter fills fast and the dining room itself is fairly plain — you're paying for the fish, not the room. — James Whitfield · 2 April 2026

### How far in advance should I book Kazu?

Two to three weeks for the eight-seat counter, longer for a Friday or Saturday seating. Cancellations do surface on weekday lunches, so it's worth calling directly if the online calendar shows nothing.

### Is the menu fixed, or can I order à la carte?

Dinner runs as a set kappo or omakase progression built around that morning's fish. Lunch offers a shorter chirashi or nigiri set alongside a handful of à la carte rolls for those not wanting the full course.
