Bistro Kaz

Balanced between noodles and sauce, would love to visit again.

Steak was awesome! I don't usually like getting steak when I eat out at new places because I always feel like if I wanted good steak I can always grill it myself and it would be better... but this was pretty good and I would definitely come back here for it again! The Seafood/Squid ink spaghetti is really good too! It's kind of hard to find in San Diego so make sure to come here and try it! It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for! The appetizers are really good as well!

I contest that some of the best pasta dishes in San Diego can be found at our small handful of Italian-Japanese restaurants. The "best known" place like this is Shin's in La Jolla, but the best spot to actually dine at is definitely Bistro Kaz on Convoy.

My favorite squid ink pastas are unapologetic about the squid ink like Bistro Kaz's. Here, the squid ink is used as more than just food color, and you can taste and enjoy its glorious oceanic brininess. Ample amounts of meaty squid chunks are also included. It's a fairly intense and umami-fied dish, but thankfully some fresh elements on the plate help keep it balanced.

While you're at Bistro Kaz, check out their ultra-flavorful consommé, a soup that will leave you scratching your head about how they figured out how to liquefy the best roasted meat dish you've had this month. Also, this is one of the few restaurants in San Diego serving "Omurice," a Japanese fusion food consisting of a fluffy egg omelet filled with rice that has become popular in Japan with late night revelers. At Bistro Kaz, I suggest the variant served with stewed beef hayashi sauce that is named "Omuhayashi."

Japanese Italian that I am used to, and both my friend and I enjoyed lunch.

Everything was so yummy. Would definitely go back again. I went in for lunch and had a lunch set. it was just awesome.
