Kazoku in Shepway

This was my 2nd time visit to Kazoku. My 1st experience; ambience, hospitality, price, food was luscious. I mostly enjoyed Katsu curry chicken rice. I ordered the same on my 2nd visit but it was not as good as my 1st time. The portion size was minimised, chicken was not amazingly good. The sushi plater was good as expected. The total bill was £83 for a 40 pieces sushi plater, shrimp tempura, one pork ramen, katsu curry chicken rice and some drinks which I think was reasonable. Overall my experience was good. Next time I want to try their fried noodles 🤤

The quality of the sushi was very poor, and it wasn’t fresh—it was dry and stale. I paid nearly £50 for it! I ended up having to order a pizza afterward.

Fresh sushi delivered on time. Lovely meal.

This is hands down the best sushi in folkestone, I've been here probably six or seven times now and it has always been consistently good

Out Of this world 😋 Eat as much as you like all made fresh every time 👌 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟

Been here multiple times and always lose against the bottomless sushi, will be back for the 5th time soon! Will try to beat my record of 3. Jokes aside hot food is really getting there in taste and consistency whereas the sushi is always great. They give a generous amount of sauce with the sushi, which many love but personally ask for less sauce so I can taste more of the fresh fish. Service is great but sometimes I will flag waiters down/raise my sheet if Im not noticed for a while. Always happy will come again :) Edit : Went recently and they now seem to have the experience, a lot more smooth and streamlined. Food arrived faster and service has improved.

I was with family. We very like sushi and the place. Very good service. Latte 😂😂😂

Food was really freshly made and tasty and service was very good and friendly. I found the restaurant itself quite dark, but I’m a bit obsessed with natural light. It is definitely excellent value for the quality and quantity of food. Thank you.

Just as good as eating in! Very speedy delivery and amazing sushi as always!!

Delicious food and great service really great interior design and just a perfect restaurant to eat at. 👌🍴😍😋👍😁

Great experience here. Superb value for money with the all you can eat sushi menu. high quality & great selection. Staff attentive & friendly

Visited on Wednesday for the Bottomless Sushi lunch. We arrived a little before mid day and were kindly let in early. Our sushi came out fresh, delicious and in a timely manner! Very attentive service and really tasty food. Excellent value and would definitely visit again!

Very good. Fast service. Very good value for money

This place is amazing. Everything comes out freshly cooked and the staff are lovely and polite. My only complaint is I wish they would do more sushi with prawn and meat as a lot of it is salmon, tuna and vegetables with only one type of sushi with prawns on the all you can eat

C’était excellent, je recommande ce restaurant. L’un des meilleurs japonais testé pendant nos vacances. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

Excellent quality, fast delivery, can’t fault it!

Fresh as if you was in the restaurant

Super yummy sushi!! Highly recommend 🍱🍱

Hot items were cold and inedible and sushi was drowning in mayonnaise. An utterly expensive disappointment.

Food was delicious and the delivery man was amazingly friendly.

The food is simply spectacular. Go in hungry and savour every mouthful. Good cocktails, too.

This restaurant is extraordinary! It is certainly one of the best restaurant I have ever eaten in!!!👍🏻

Gyoza was just about warm and sushi was warm (room temperature been out for a while warm).

Menu isn’t that exciting, we ordered a plater and pretty much everything’s made with salmon, salmon with mango, salmon with avocado… it’s a bit funny 😂 Average service, not very tentative and timely, not sure if staff understood everything (but that’s okay, hope for improvements) Good luck guys! Off street parking right next to the sight. We came on a Sunday evening and able to find space around 7pm.

A scrummy meal that upon my first bite made me say to myself yummmmmm

Was a great experience very nice atmosphere the food tasted fresh and great portions sizes! Thank you will visit again!

(Edit 30 June 24) Still as good as it was last year when first reviewed. The evening bottomless sushi is still great value, now at £27.95 We decided to let the chef choose a selection of dishes for us but specified to the waitress for no vegetarian only sushi and for plenty of sashimi. The resulting platter was exceptional. (See photo). Great food, great value and good service (the restaurant was busy after sudden rain) We'd go to Kazouku once or twice a month if we lived locally, it's a firm favourite. (July 23) This sushi restaurant is amazing! What a great recent addition to both Folkestone and to Kent. There is a 'bottomless' sushi menu which offers outstanding value. Currently £20 at lunchtime and £25 in the evening. You order your sushi using a tick-sheet which offers a highly varied selection of traditional and modern Japanese dishes. It includes sashimi, which is rare on such unlimited menus. For the very hungry diners, the tick-sheet is returned for a subsequent order. Other diners have criticised the service, but it was quite acceptable on the lunchtime we visited. The food is absolutely delicious, and that's from a regular sushi diner. Food is extremely well presented (see photos of the same platter from 2 views). We will most definitely return in the near future.

Great food. Not bad value. The service is very lacking. You can sit waiting for a drink refill for 20 mins. Once they give your food, they leave you alone completely, which some might consider a good thing, but you can also go too far the other way and have to wait ages to try and catch the eye of a waiter. We had to leave our seat twice to remind them to bring water, and later to be able to order more drinks. We've been there twice now, and will be going again soon with my Son, I hope the service improves.

Some of the most delicious South East Asian food my partner and I have had, we were on cloud 9. Reasonable pricing especially for the quality of food and service. I had the chicken sushi (definitely recommend) with the chicken karaage in sauce (must try) and my partner had one of the salmon rolls which was also super tasty.

As a Folkestone resident, I was thrilled to find this place. The decor and location are fantastic. Near the town centre and right on the beach / the Leas promenade. The Staff are welcoming and attentive. Now for the food.....phenomenal. Beautifully presented and tasty sushi. They can accommodate preferences and allergies. Cannot wait to go again. This is fantastic value for money, too.

A good large sushi restaurant but not the best I've had. It's restaurant over canteen style sushi they have beers and cocktails too so good if you want dinner out. They have an all you can eat offer and sushi platters as well as individual items and noodle dishes too.

We love this place. Its a real treat when we eat here. Food is all prepared fresh for your request. We have never found fault with the quality of the food, always outstanding flavour and variety. We generally go for the bottomless lunch, the prices have gone up since we started going. This previous visit we found the amount was less, and on a plate not a normal wooden l board. This is what then made us realise the amount had also changed. We then found that not only us, but the whole restaurant we having to ask the staff for the order sheets back for the tables. This used to be dropped back at the table shortly after the order had been put on the table. After watching this happen a good few times, we believe this is to stop people ordering so quick, Lunch is a short time period so the less you order the less they have to prepare and then can close on time. We ordered 2 alcoholic drinks, when the young lady bought them back to the table, she didn't ask who's was who's and placed them on the table in the wrong place, not a huge issue, but also left out the fact of a glass for the beer that was ordered, no question asked if we wanted one either. That being said, we always get a smile when we arrive and when we leave.

Why was there kimchi in the ramen? That should be explained in the menu!

This sushi place is brilliant! What a great selection of sushi and lovely service! Highly recommended!

The food here was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. We were seated promptly and the atmosphere was bubbly, open, and the service members were friendly. After being sat, we got our drinks and ordered 4 items from the menu. The first three items arrived staggered from each other which is not unusual with a sushi restaurant. However, the third item came a good ten minutes after the first two and we waited a good forty minutes in total for the fourth item. The server did not read back the order and continued to repeatedly ignore our dirty dishes and empty glasses to help other customers. Not only that, but it seemed as though he was avoiding our gaze at every turn. When finally asked about the final item which was still missing, it was obvious on his face that he had forgot. This was frustrating as all of the cooks and service members sat and watched us sit unattended as well. The final dish took 2 minutes to come out, but after this experience we no longer wanted to order any more food. Because we are on vacation we likely would have spent double if not triple what we ended up paying, if we didn't think we would be stuck in there for another hour just trying to get the food. Overall, I really hope they can teach their servers to attend to their tables and trouble-shoot/be confrontational when it applies to their job so that this doesn't happen again. It is a shame because the food was delicious and the chef clearly takes pride in what they put out. Thank you.

I couldn’t ever believe that I liked sushi. They make it perfect in taste! The look of their plates/platters is absolutely stunning! Piece of art and you can tell they take pride in their work. We are from Canterbury and go there regularly or as often as we can , because it’s totally worth it. Not expensive at all! I can’t believe we can get such a great food around Kent! It’s a blessing.

Way too much Sriracha on the spicy tuna, it overpowered the rest of the roll. Everything was nice though

Great food, the sushi platters have a great variety, the hot rolls are a favourite with us.

Sushi is amazing and all you can eat option is fantastic value. Only drops to 4 stars because the service lets it down. You can waste an awful lot of time trying to get someone's attention

Incredible food at a great price. Best Sushi we've tried in Kent!

We’ve been here twice over the weekend absolutely amazing Food

Very good all you can eat sushi if you order wisely. My karAge was shop bought and in edible

Really quick service, great food, friendly staff

Food fantastic, staff excellent, service was great, price very good will definitely be going back Thanks to all the staff

Stunning delicious take away. I'd love to see pictures of the menu options though to help me decide ❤️🍣

We had a beautiful meal at this lovely restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxed and attractive decor. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was stunning and like art!! I would definitely return. We did order more than we could eat, it is more filling than you imagine so go slow, we took our leftovers home. Superb experience!!

Kazoku Sushi was a culinary misadventure. The ambiance was comfortable, service acceptable, but the sushi? A letdown of epic proportions. The rice was 'disaster zone soggy.' As for the fish, only the salmon managed to be edible. The tuna, sadly, tasted suspiciously akin to something dredged up from the discount section of a suburban supermarket, and was far below sushi quality. They offer an all-you-can-eat menu dominated by salmon, which might appear to offer value—until you realize there's a McDonald's next door.

Excellent service and food. Very authentic 👌 I was very surprised by the big variety and value for money . Can't wait to go back .

We love Kazoku the staff is friendly and and happy good energy and the food is very good made with love and quality if you love sushi kazoku is your place.

The food at KAZAKU Restaurant in Folkestone Centre of the dinner meal is very delicious, and all the restaurant staff including waiters do the good service and they are helpfull 👍

I love this place, their food is so delicious, a little bit pricey but worth it, I keep finding myself going back for lunch or ordering dinner for delivery!

Kazoku is our absolute favourit! We love the food, its flaverfull, its allways fresh and just really good ♥️

They have increased the prices now beyond what I think is reasonable for the All You Can Eat menu - £28 for dinner £24 for lunch. Maybe if there was bottomless soda included you could justify the spend, but now I can see most people spending £35-£40 pp quite easily with service charge. The food is good quality, the staff are great. Probably won’t be going back though. 3/5 for value now, used to be 5/5.

Oh my word, had lunch here with my daughter today. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the food 5 star and more and the staff are so attentive! Highly recommend this place for amazing sushi!!!

Absolutely delicious. Thank you 😀

Popped into Kazoku on a Friday afternoon. Staff were fantastic, especially as they said they were about to close but would stay open for us. We ordered Chicken Gyoza, Pork Ramen, Chicken Katsu curry and some Sushi. Lovely fresh food, the Gyoza and Sushi were incredible. Would highly recommend and couldn't fault the service.

Excellent food,lovely atmosphere.

Korean bbq chicken absolutely amazing. chicken Ramen had limited flavour and chicken was rubbery but overall was good 👍

Brilliant place with delicious food not just sushi but lots of other tasty food. Everything served very quickly and with a smile. Price also reasonable

We were a part of ten pre booked but when we arrived the staff looked startled Service really was pretty poor took ages to get so much as a bottle of wine or even a jug of water Food was fine ,menu possibly complicated for a large group At 9.30 we were asked for lost orders and I think they literally meant for anything No anymore drinks ,dessert or coffee

The flavours was really nice but, pieces of the beef on my Ramen was not cooked properly😭

We went with a group and it was very different from our usual Sunday lunches but wow. Firstly it is a lovely setting close to the sea and the decor inside is really nice. We all opted for the bottomless brunch which was an assortment of everything. I have never tasted anything like this it was incredible. When you have finished you can order again. I really enjoyed the fried rolls and could have just had platefuls of these. Excellent food and excellent value for money. We will definitely be returning don't pass this by if you love sushi this is a must.

I went with my partner and his little brother we had the most amazing time food was devine and delicious thanks to the staff for a very lovely welcome

Beautiful meal tonight very busy but excellent service

Fantastic food. Best Japanese meal I have had in a long time. When I moved to Folkestone there really wasn’t an offering. When this opened I was overjoyed. Went twice this month and can honestly say it’s my new favourite. The only constructive criticism I would give is staff need to be more attentive, watch to see if people’s glasses are empty and offer more drinks etc and some people like a lot more wasabi with the sushi so maybe ask how much wasabi they would like. But these things do not detract from was an amazing meal and service.

I dined here early on a Friday evening with my 7 year old daughter. It was a first time at Kazoku for us both and it was wonderful. I had the bottomless sushi, whilst my daughter had the teriyaki chicken. Food was fresh and tasty (the sushi was amazing, I had two rounds of a variety of items) and the service was good. We will definitely be back!

This is my fourth time visiting kazoku, and I’m not one to write reviews let alone a negative one. I cannot fault the food, especially for the value of money, but the service is awful. The most recent time visiting a few days ago, I felt incredibly rushed. Mid eating my meal catching up with a friend, we was handed the bill and card machine insisting to pay cash or card. I was speechless in mid conversation and eating we was interrupted and had to stop and pay. They look like young teenagers running the place with not one clue of hospitality experience, and as much as I love the concept of a ‘bottomless sushi’, for how they make you feel rushed and staring at you like you’re a bother being there, I will not be returning any more.

What a lovely place, food hot and tasty with good service. So much choice on the menu it’s hard to decide. Spaced out tables so not cramped or listening to the next table.

11/10 - Best sushi I've ever had

Great restaurant in Folkestone facing the sea, the sushi is delicious and the all-you-can-eat formula is not expensive at all, I highly recommend it

Food was amazing, freshly made, good value. We really enjoyed the lunch menu & will be visiting again soon. Would really recommend if you love sushi.

Food was amazing as usual! Delivery came so quick! Best sushi in town !

We’ve been ordering from this restaurant many times, finally it’s on JustEat🙌 All was fresh and tasty as always!

Best place to go if you’re Sushi’s fan. I went there with my family and relatives. Sushi was so good , well plated and all the staffs were lovely. Cannot wait yo visit again.

Lunch today my daughters birthday, her choice , have had ‘sushi’ before, but WOW ,this was not like anything I’ve ever had, amazing, presentation was great, but every mouthful tasted fantastic. We had a fabulous lunch, thank you , can’t wait to return

delivery driver dropped the food on the payment outside my House due to the bag breaking other then that the food is good

Fantastic food and service. They were very accommodating even though it was extremely busy!

The food here is to die for!! Very good price, great atmosphere and amazing service. Highly recommend it, if you don't go you're missing out.

All you can eat sushi. The food is delicious and plentiful. You tick the options you want. Food appears, when the food is gone the form comes back to order more. Delicious. Lots of choice. Also other options such as katsu curry or Ramen for those who don't like fish. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere too.

The food is simply fantastic! Was hot when it arrived and tasty. It’s a shame that I ordered the California Uramaki but it didn’t have crab in it, salmon instead. It’s a shame as I’ve had it before with crab in and it was amazing. A lot less flavour with the salmon :(

Sushi platter was beyond amazing! Will definitely be ordering again.

The most beautiful, melt on the mouth shashimi I've had in a very long time. Will definitely come back for more. We went for the "bottomless sushi". The selection was varied and fabulously presented. We were served some warm gyoza between serving which was delightful as there was a wait as the place got busier.Unfortunately there were issues with the network which meant a little delay in paying. Did not take anything away from the experience for me.

The food was always lovely , the personnel was always kind and helpfull , drinks are lovely too (i personally prefer the Mockito & Cranberry Refresher) You have 27 kinds of different sushi and sashimi to choose from at the bottomles sushi menu💜🤗🍣

It is addictive! I have fallen in love with their delicious sushi, if you are up for a feast that delights those tasting buds of yours then do not hesitate, choose Kazoku. The do not only have sushi, but some promising ramen and many other dishes, the personell has always been kind to us and the music is just so trendy, unlike these elevator music listening restaurants There has not been a single time that we did not pay them a visit at least twice a month since we've discovered them

Honest review, best sushi place I’ve tried the staff is so welcoming , quick with the food the food quality is crazy I would say this goes to neck neck with stick n sushi THATS HOW GOOD IT IS !! Definitely come stop by kazoku if ur near folkstone CRAZYYY SHUSHI

We went at lunchtime for the bottomless sushi. It was very busy and they were unprepared to handle the rush. We had one plate and then had sat and waited for 35 minutes without the waiter coming round to ask us for more food. We kept STARING at them as they went past but one waiter was basically serving the whole room with the second keep disappearing. When they did walk past our table they would look the other way so that we couldn't grab there attention. Having read a similar review on here I think they do so on purpose so that they don't have to give you as much food. Definitely not worth the £43 we paid.

Went back there today for our 2nd visit. The service was extremely quick. Waited no longer than 5 minutes for the food to come out and tastes great too

super tasty just as good as when we've eaten at the restaurant, good value and very quick delivery

Quick friendly service and delicious sushi!

The food was just as good as takeaway as it is in person. It was all really fresh and delicious.

I've been to the restaurant many times so I'm super happy it's now on Just Eat. Honestly best sushi I have ever had

Very good quality especially the all you can eat option

Absolutely amazing quality, quick delivery and very fresh

All the food was so delicious and arrived exactly when I ordered it for. Was even given a sushi platter free of charge as well. Will definitely be ordering again.

Absolutely blown away. Best sushi I've had in a long time. I don't give up five stars unless it's really deserved. I will be back soon. Pro-Tip get the chefs selection nice mix of different flavours of sushi and sashimi. Damn.

Delicious food, highly recommend🍥

We have no complaints whatsoever! Fantastic sushi at a very reasonable price. Friendly, hardworking staff and a warm atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all sushi lovers.

Visited several times and it has never disappointed - sushi is served fresh and some of the best we’ve ever had. We will keep returning!

We visited Kazoku at the first time. I love it food, lots of variety of sushi. 4 stars for atmosphere just because music was little bit too loud. Recommended to visit.

The sushi was delicious & looked amazing, get the bottomless option and eat as much as you want!
