“Best place to dine in. Food is great and always very fresh. Only minus for me is...they don't serve alcoholic drinks inside. But overall I love this place. Thank you!”

“I just moved into the neighborhood on 6/27/26. While moving things into my be apartment I was scoping for that night's dinner - saw Kaze Sushi and Thai stand out. Ordered the Crispy Chichen Cashew which was absolutely a vibrant dish. Generous portions of each ingredient- especially NOT cheating on the meat portion. The sauce is stunning- so I decided to dine in on 6/28/26 and had the crispy cashew chicken and rhe chicken satay. I've had plenty of small restaurant chicken satay - Kaze Sushi and Thai's Chicken Satay is clearly made fresh and with care. Needless to say - i would recommend this restaurant and all of the staff to be a Chicago hidden culinary gem. And especially at a fair price considering the economic times.”

“The best Sushi and Thai place in the town, would highly recommend!”

“Got the lunch special with crab Rangoon, miso soup, and combination pad see ewe. It was pretty good and great value for the price!”

“I stay around the area and finally gave this a try. I tried the Spicy Miso Ramen and it was very good !! I have no doubt all the menu items are great. Glad to have them in the area.”

“Chill Sushi and Thai spot that never misses. No frills, just amazing food and good vibes. The maki rolls are fresh and full of flavor, and the Thai noodles and curries always hit the spot. The Spicy Garlic Ramen is a must-try — seriously good. We had the Red Machine and Firecracker this time (both awesome), and the Godzilla, Volcano, and Don’t Make Me Cry on our last visit were just as great. Prices are super reasonable, service is always warm and quick. It’s a cozy place, so it can fill up fast during busy hours — but totally worth the wait.”

“Food was absolutely delicious and the vibes were amazing :))”

“I was meeting a friend for lunch. We found Kaze Sushi and Thai online. The menu looked great so we decided to give it a try. I was a little surprised to see that the restaurant shared a parking lot with a nail salon and 711. It was very nice to have a parking lot though, so no complaints. We ordered crispy calamari and takoyaki for appetizers, a Kaze salad (excellent), and the 8 of Spades (Eight piece nigiri chef’s choice and a salmon avocado roll). Everything was fresh and delicious. I don’t think it would be a romantic place to take a date, but it wasn’t bad to meet a friend. It would be a good choice for carry out too.”

“This is a delivery order so I can’t rate the atmosphere. I appreciate that the driver hung the food on my gate and called me when they couldn’t open the gate. Thanks Grubhub! Now…the food… Spicy Miso Soup - YUM! 😋 Highly recommend! Green Salad - Very good. Fresh. Recommended! Don’t Make Me Cry - Ok. Too much rice and the tempura was fried too hard. It is not tempura. I hate when the main dish doesn’t rise to the occasion.”

“Me gustó, buena presentación, creo que no tiene muchos platillos para personas que no comen mariscos, solo 1 y que es vegetariano, desde mi punto de vista si agregaran algo de carne res o algo así, creo que podría abrir el menú para deleitar distintos paladares. Tienen buena atención pero si esperaba mucho más.”
