on Citysearch May 17, 2009Well I don't see why anyone would recommend this place. Plain wooden tables, uncomfortable wooden chairs, smallest portions of sashimi I've ever seen and all the fish seemed to be flavorless. The only 'bright' side... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 13, 2008Walk into this place and you think you are in a fancy NYC restaurant. Beautiful decor and impeccable service. Great thing is that the place is gorgeous but not snobby and they welcome children.... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 14, 2008August 2008 My husband, daughter and myself recently had dinner at Bizen. We had not been in some time and we will probably not return. We have had many delicious meals over the years at Bizen. Despite the fact that we... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 19, 2008Its a shame that the attitude emanating from the sushi bar can take decent food down to a below-average review. Either you are ignored completely or you sit there while the sushi chef talks over your head to his... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 31, 2007My wife and I enjoyed this place very much. We were born and brought up in Japan, so I believe we know what authentic Japanese food should look like, taste like, as well as how Japanese restaurant should look like. It is... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 31, 2007The sushi here is forgettably average, and for all the lip service about bring Japan to the Berkshires, the experience is so unlike a Japanese sushi restaurant. It's noisy and the service can be slow without any hint... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 29, 2006Bizene is a bad place to go. If you have small children they will start winning. If you like slow service you should go to Bizene. But if you like amazing acrobatics in hand motion you should go to Shiro. This is the worst... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 17, 2006I don't understand these bad reviews!! Look, GOOD sushi takes time. Or stick to the fast food you eat the other 6 days of the week. My 8 yr old had the best time there. The inside is beautiful the tables are set apart enough... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 08, 2006Why such a fuss about Bizen? They have 2-3 sauces they drag out and put on everything so it all tastes the same. Their special dinner in their special section was a series of dishes of rubber fish floating in salt soup.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2006This place used to rock. Seems they got a bit too complacent. 45 minutes after ordering sushi, 15 minutes after my wife finished her bento box, I was told there's a big back-up on sushi, probably an hour. A sushi place... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 28, 2005This is my favorite sushi in the world. I have been all over the world and eaten sushi in any place I could. I live in NYC and have sushi many times a week but I still crave Bizen and hail it as my all time favorite. The head... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 15, 2005I waited over 35 minutes for a roll and two pieces of sushi... I wanted to have another piece of sushi, unfortunately the chef refused to serve me, after waiting for 10 minutes... Not a good place for lunch by yourself.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 15, 2005Great experience. My friends and I believe this sushi restaurant to be one of the best in the North East. Once you enter the second half of this place you feel like you have entered small Japanese village. Beautiful... (more)
