Kazoku is a Pan-Asian restaurant and sushi bar on Old Christchurch Road, along the stretch heading east from Bournemouth town centre through Lansdowne. Its local reputation rests on fresh sushi and sashimi rather than on one national cuisine, combining Japanese technique with a broader spread of Pan-Asian cooking.
The food
Sushi takes centre stage: nigiri, sashimi and a lengthy list of maki and specialty rolls, made to order and served with the customary ginger and wasabi. Away from the sushi counter, the menu opens out into other Japanese and Pan-Asian dishes, with vegetarian choices for anyone who'd rather skip raw fish. Menus and availability move over time, as they do at any restaurant, so check the current version on Kazoku's website before you visit.
Good to know
Kazoku serves lunch and dinner from Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays. It functions as a sit-down restaurant, with tables you can book in advance, and equally as a takeaway or delivery option, taking online orders through its own site and via third-party platforms. Its spot on Old Christchurch Road is handy for both the town centre and Lansdowne, whether you're eating in or picking up food to take away.
Kazoku is one of an increasing number of sushi and Pan-Asian restaurants scattered across Bournemouth. For other places to eat close by, see our food & drink guide, or find out what's happening in the town centre in our things to do guide.
