| - Without a doubt Kaka is the best all you can eat Japanese restaurant I have ever been to. The quality of not only the food, but the customer service was leaps and bounds above everyone else.
I should start off by saying we ordered items that are unique to Kaka, so we avoided the sashimi (I can't believe I only ate one piece of sashimi at a dinner AYCE - it wasn't anything special anyways), and tended to order the more unique, and premium options.
I'll just start off with the good: the house special nigiri platter at the beginning of the meal was phenomenal, especially the unagi (?) and scallop - melt in your mouth goodness. I came in with great hopes for their poke bowls and can say all three of their poke bowls were actually excellent, well dressed and a good combination of flavours - a huge plus for not having so much rice in those small bowls! All of the blow-torched sushi and their pressed sushi were also great. For dessert, the matcha creme brulé was excellent.
The downside is that a lot of their regular Izakaya items weren't anything special and tended to be on the oily side, so just a word of caution. I should also add that a lot of their sushi were quite 'sauced up', so I didn't bother with the soy sauce.
I have heard a lot of things about their service and it seems that it can be a hit or miss but we shall see what happens in future visits to this place because customer service was incredibly polished. We came in without a reservation at 6pm (an earlier call revealed they were all booked) but despite the fact, we were still seated and quickly too, as long as we finished before the next reservation. We were explained everything in the beginning (I.e quantity of some the orders and the iPad system), and were given ample time to eat - 6:30 - 8pm. Food came out quickly and accurately, as there we no incorrect orders. Empty plates were picked up frequently and the tea refilled without asking. We were notified of the last call and were well taken care of!
Value was fair considering the quality of an AYCE place. I won't be coming here often but a once in a while treat or craving for AYCE should suffice.
