| - I went here on many occasions because I used to live right across the street from Kai. For a Japanese restaurant located in an almost deserted parking lot, it really blew my mind away the first time I tried its cheap all you can eat menu. Unlike other Japanese restaurants, Kai's AYCE is only about $23.95 and if you wanted to include all you can drink, it is about $35 (which is cheap if you are a heavy drinker and can stomach it all).
Kai is a large restaurant, however the many times I've gone there.. There is always 1 woman waitress and about 2 people at the sushi bar. It is never crowded and the staff has not changed for a while now. I rather enjoy the seclusion because of its location, and due to the small occupancy, the service is always fast and genuine.
Their menu is a typical all you can eat sushi menu, however, it is more concentrated on the sushi rolls, than the appetizers. Kai is one of the few places that has Mango rolls, or rolls with mango in them. The combination is amazing and definitely worth a try. They also have the best tuna handrolls. The tuna handrolls are so fresh and spicy, it is definitely one of the best in town. Im a big fan of super white tuna, and so everywhere I go I have to order it. Their super white tuna is very fresh, extremely buttery and the cut is well proportioned. Dont be afraid to ask the sushi chef to accommodate for you, they are very nice and will give you a reasonable amount of fish. Unlike ichiza, which is well known for their more traditional dishes, Kais dishes are more creative and will have rolls that are influenced by different tastes all around. I dont remember the specific name of the rolls but when you look at their menu, you will notice the varieties in their sushi.
Their signature sushi dish is also very delicious. I believe it was called their Kai roll.
Overall, if you are looking for a quiet night with friendly services, I would definitely suggest going there. If anything, for the cheap price of an all you can eat sushi experience that will not damage your wallet but leave you full and happy in return.
