We just flew in from San Diego and needed to eat dinner late. Fortunately, our plane had wifi and I was able to consult Yelp. Kawaii had good reviews and was close to where we were ultimately going to end up for the evening.
We arrived at about 9:15 and entered the very clean well laid out space of Kawaii. We had our choice of locations and found one within view of the Hockey playoffs on TV. Excellent.
They had a very nice and affordable selection of Sake. The waitress was super friendly and let us know about the specials and the menu.
We chose Gyoza and Crab Rangoon as our appetizers. They were on $.99 special with the order of a sake or beer. We also ordered the Chicken Yakitori.
The Chicken Yakitori was our favorite. Excellent flavor and a decent size portion. I enjoyed both the Gyoza and Crab Rangoon as well. All of the appetizers came out fast and hot. Perfect.
Ordering too much food as I often do, we selected the Happy Valley Roll, Cucumber Naruto roll and the Triple Sashimi (3 pieces each of salmon, tuna and yellowtail).
Excellent rolls and super large fresh portions of Sashimi. The Naruto roll doesn't have rice. So, it was a very nice complement to both the Happy Valley Roll (Tuna, Avocado, Jalapeno, Topped w/White Tuna And Salmon) and the Sashimi.
Finally, we ordered the spicy tuna jalapeno appetizer. This had a very unique peppery flavor with a burst of heat that made both of us go Wow. This is good.
Thank you for a great meal!
We will be back!
