Very slow service, portions small and price very high. Definitely not on my go back list.

Awful experience; we literally “begged” to be served; nothing arrived on time; we have had really high expectations but were terribly disappointed. Food was just OK; nothing special. We cannot recommend this place…

Tried this place out as it was highly recommended. On the whole it’s a cool looking restaurant in Pacific City mall, with friendly staff and some interesting cocktails. The food though is ok. Had the dumplings, sticky ribs, tempura vegetables, fried rice and noodle dish. I found the meat to be very tough on both the ribs and the noodle dish. Also the sticky ribs were not sticky and coated in a watery sauce. The tempura veg was in a soggy batter and some of the veg half cooked or hard. Not really appealing. The gyoza were well done and enjoyable. Solid 3/5 place.
Kai LoungeGereageerd op 25 oktober 2024
Hi Mike, Thank you for trying us out and for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the service, cocktails, and gyoza. We’re sorry to hear that some of the dishes didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments about the ribs and tempura will be shared with the kitchen team to ensure we improve. We hope you'll consider visiting us again for a better experience. Best regards, Management Team at KAI

We went to early dinner and had the restaurant basically to ourselves. No need for a reservation, but they sat us in a separate space of our choosing, for our anniversary. The service was fantastic and food was wonderful. We will certainly be back.

The food was amazing! Understaffed but not their fault. We went during a large private party and its clear the attention was on them. They tried their best to make up for it and the food really was incredible.

Dear Brooke, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your feeback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our food and that our trained servers could make up for the large party we had going on. We look forward to hosting you in the future maybe with a more intimate setting this time. Thank you. Best, Kai

Great dining experience, highly recommend this beautiful place, the family enjoyed the sushi and small plates. Desserts were amazing, don’t miss out on the yuzu key lime pie.

Unfortunately, this dining experience left a lot to be desired. The food was sub par at best. One item came out wrong which was fixed but left one member of our party waiting. The ribeye steak was very low quality meat and not cooked well, not worth $40+. The sushi items were the best thing we sampled but still quite overpriced for the quality. This establishment likely has potential but unfortunately the quality and cleanliness needs to be worked on.
Kai LoungeGereageerd op 25 oktober 2024
Hi Holly, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your dining experience didn't meet expectations, particularly with the steak and overall quality. We're glad to know the sushi was a highlight but will certainly take your comments about quality and cleanliness to heart as we work to improve. We appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future. Best regards, Management Team at KAI
