| - I came here several months ago, but in recently creating my Yelp account, my experience at Kaka was so awful I had to submit a review. Unfortunately the worst AYCE experience I have had e.v.e.r. I was hearing a lot of hype about this place both through friends and social media, so after my first AYCE spot closed down, I thought I'd try this place out.
It was packed upon arrival (the hype!) and it probably took just over half an hour to be seated... which I suppose isn't bad considering I later heard stories of the restaurant claiming to be booked up for two weeks straight (how is that even possible?). I thought the iPad ordering system was really cool... until I started to get notifications while ordering that pretty much half the menu was "unavailable" that night.
There were some pretty interesting/novel items on the menu (despite not being able to order many of them), but I found both the sashimi selection and kitchen menu to be limited. Of the items that were available for ordering, they featured mostly deep-fried items and items that were heavily packed with rice. Overall, I found the sashimi to be not very fresh (during my visit), and the kitchen food lacked flavour... or just tasted strange (to me). I think my favourite item was the Baked Oyster with Cheese, although you can only eat so many pieces of an item drowning in a mayo-based sauce.
Aside from the sub-par food, the service I received was a disaster! I think in trying to accommodate the high traffic, the table I sat at didn't seem to exist on their ordering system and every single item I ordered (OK, not every... but for sure 90% of what we ordered) was delivered to either the table on my left or right... Only one server seemed to realise what was happening and was constantly running to our table to correct the other servers... who never seemed to catch on despite our repeated complaints (poor guy! Didn't catch his name, but he was probably the one saving grace of the dining experience).
TLDR: Below average: menu selection/quality of food/service/value/everything... would not come back.
