| - I don't usually do AYCE sushi but I'm so glad I tried Kaka. Hands down my new fav AYCE sushi.
Pros:
Lots of items to choose from (including items usually not at AYCE sushi)
Great ordering apparatus
Excellent service
Cons:
Very busy place
We came here for a lunch on Saturday. We didn't have a reservation but luckily there was one table left unreserved when we got there right at opening time. This place is super popular and busy. If you don't have a reservation, chances are you won't get in, it's just that popular. Prices are the same for lunch and dinner Monday through Thursday. It's only different on Friday to Sunday dinner which offers more at a higher price. The regular price is $26.99 which may seem high, but it's well worth it.
To start, you order everything on an Ipad. All the items are listed by categories and you select whatever you want. I love ordering this way. You get to see pictures of everything you order. Also, all orders are for one piece other than rolls where one order is 3 pieces. This ensures you get what you want and exactly how much you want. If I only want 3 dumplings I get 3 dumplings instead of settling for whatever the set number is at other places.
As well as the usual fare of sashimi, sushi, roll etc, they have a bunch of other items available that you usually don;t see at other AYCE sushi places. Items like takoyaki, lamb skewers and grilled eggplant are available. There are also tons of desserts that you don't find at other places too. The exclusive item here is the torched sushi. They torch your usual sushi with a flame. It gives it a completely different texture. I liked it and I know people who don't exactly like the raw taste of fish will definitely welcome it. Overall, the items here are all very well done. You can't expect omakase quality at AYCE, but Kaka does a very good job.
The service here was excellent. The hostess at the front was very nice and answered all our questions without hesitation and made sure we were OK throughout our time there. I have read in past interviews that there are 2 hour limits and they start to rush you out. 2 hours in my opinion is more than enough. We were there for an hour and 30 minutes and ate comfortably even when it got really busy. Not once did we feel we were pressured to go faster.
All in all, this place is great! Like I said, it's not going to be as good as Kaji or something similar. But for a AYCE sushi place, this place is as good as it gets for me.
