Didn't respond to your earlier post, since I can't claim 100% knowledge (Disclosure; I've been to Tengda in Darien, not Westport, and its been awhile since I've been to Kazu), but to help prime the pump, I'll give you my 2 cents.
Kazu was always good, and a bit more traditional Japanese, though in a hipper, livelier atmosphere (I'd sa a bit of a scene, which is why I haven't been there recently). Tengda, at least in Darien has a bit more sedate atmosphere, a bit more upscale. It's also more pan-Asian than japanese. Having said that, their sushi/sashimi is excellent--probably the best I've had in CT, so that would be my reco (assuming Westport location is similar to Darien).
But then again, I'm 44, with a wife and 2 kids, so Tengda works better for us...If I was 26, and going on a date, or even diner+movie, etc, I'd lean towards Kazu.

Enjoy. My wife and I are in the same boat this week...kids staying at "Camp Grandma".
PS, I see you've also posted about butchers in the area. I've found that for regular, day-in, day-out, ShopRite is really good. Unlike most supermarkets, they do their own breakup in the store, and have a real butcher case; not just precut meat on styrofoam trays put on the shelf by stockboys. I generally go to the one off exit 6 in Stamford, but also hit the one in Norwalk on the Post Rd (I'm about half way between the two). In Norwalk, ask for Dean (big, dark haired friendly guy, looks like a NY fireman), and he'll hook you up...they'll cut whatever you want. In Stamford, Tab is the guy. Tell either of them Ed sent you...they'll know.
