KAKA All You Can Eat — Restaurant in Toronto

Oh, KAKA All You Can Eat—what an unforgettable experience. If you’ve ever dreamed of living the high life by indulging in a seemingly endless parade of sushi, fried foods, and all things questionably delicious, then KAKA is your gastronomic paradise. The ultimate all-you-can-eat adventure that leaves you feeling both overfed and underwhelmed at the same time. It's truly a spiritual journey where you come for the quantity, stay for the price tag, and leave wondering if maybe—just maybe—you should’ve gone to the cheaper sushi place down the street.

Let’s talk about the ambiance, shall we? The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that says, "We are an all-you-can-eat establishment, and we want you to feel it." The décor? Well, it’s somewhere between “we tried too hard to be fancy” and “we really need a deep cleaning.” The lighting is just bright enough to make you question your life choices, but not quite enough to hide the fact that you're eating in a bustling, high-energy room where the smell of fried food wafts through the air like a cloud of desperation. It's charming, in that "let’s-get-this-over-with" kind of way.

Now, the service—oh my god, the service! If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re in a race against time while also trying to find someone to take your order, then you’ll love it here. The staff, bless them, seem to be in a perpetual state of organized chaos, rushing around as if there’s an unspoken challenge to see how many tables they can serve without acknowledging that you’ve been waiting for 15 minutes for a glass of water. But hey, it’s an all-you-can-eat place, not a Michelin-star experience, right?

But let's get to the real star of the show: the food. Oh, the food. It’s endless in quantity, but slightly lacking in quality. You’ll find a wide array of sushi rolls, but don’t expect them to be the life-changing creations you see on those Instagram food blogs. No, no. Here, the sushi is more like “good enough to fill you up without making you think too much about it.” The tuna? Well, it’s fresh-ish, but it doesn’t exactly scream “premium.” But who cares about freshness when you can order six rolls in one sitting and pretend you’re living your best life, right?

And let’s talk about the fried foods—because at KAKA, frying is a lifestyle. Tempura shrimp? Absolutely delightful, if you love the concept of greasy, soggy batter wrapped around what could almost be described as shrimp. The fried calamari, however, deserves its own standing ovation. It was so heavily battered, I almost mistook it for a fried pillow with a hint of seafood flavor. Perfect for when you’re feeling adventurous, but also have no idea what you’re eating.

But here’s the real kicker: the price. Ah yes, the price. At KAKA, you’re paying for quantity, not quality—yet somehow, they still manage to charge you enough to make you question if you’ve just been scammed into buying a buffet that could have been better executed at a slightly cheaper, less ambitious joint. It’s like paying top dollar for a “luxury” version of something you can get anywhere else, but somehow this is all wrapped up in the allure of “unlimited” food. The only thing that’s unlimited is the regret as your bill arrives and you realize you could’ve gone to a decent restaurant and ordered a real meal for the same price.

In conclusion, if you want to feel like royalty for an hour, stuff yourself with as much mediocre sushi as your stomach can handle, and leave with a lighter wallet and a slightly heavier sense of buyer’s remorse, then KAKA All You Can Eat is your perfect destination. Will I go back? Oh, absolutely. Not because the food was amazing, but because all-you-can-eat is an irresistible concept when you’re feeling reckless...

This was our second visit, we came back because first time was great and we thought it would be a good place to have dinner for our special occasion, but this time service was terrible. I understand that they had a big group about to come in but servers are supposed to be assigned areas (I’ve worked at restaurants) and no one was in ours. The girl who was supposed to be our server, Annie, seemed to be actively avoiding the area. When we came in we asked for a bigger table since there were some spaces empty around, the girl said she would asked, she left and remained standing at the front for some time and then kept working on anything else but checking back on us. We waited about 20 minutes for someone to take the sheet with out order for the all you can eat and we actually had to call her to come back and ask her about the table, she said that there were reservations. Those actually never seemed to show, and actually two of them were taken by couples like me and my partner later on. We ordered 3 rounds of food, the first one was all good but for the last two we didn’t get half of the things we ordered, and because no one would come check on us we were unable to talk to someone about it. About 30 min after we came in they got a big group on the patio (maybe 20 people) and then our orders stopped coming out. We occasionally received wrong orders and just gave it back to them. This Annie came back twice to pour water and leave. My partner saw Tristian from last visit who assisted us so great and asked him if there was a manager around because it had been already 50 minutes since our last order, he came and listened to what was going on and went to take a look since apparently there was no manager around for the day, so we couldn’t talk to no one about the discomfort. After talking to him, Annie came back and asked how everything was going so we obviously said that it was all awful, my parter mentioned to her we kept missing more than half of the order and the last order had been already a while ago (45-50min) and never even got the handroll to the table service (not even once, just the tables around) which was our favorite part on the first visit. She said she was sorry and we just asked for the bill. But for real, she introduced herself and then never came back so other servers would take the paper when dropping stuff around. By the very end the girl was trying to figure out the missing items or trying to get us to have dessert, but honestly we were not in the mood anymore. We sat down at 7:50/ 7:55 and she came check on us at 9:30 only after Tristian had talk to us. We just wanted to leave because the night already felt ruined, and even the bill took forever because she was trying to give us all the food they missed before even when we said we wouldn’t have it anymore. Then she left and checked all the tables around. This Annie finally got the bill (only 10-15 minutes later) and said she added a “discount” of 10%. She gave us a discount of nice $8.79 dollars… not even and amount that would cover the tax in the bill which was $12.37. Idk, go on a quiet day maybe. Ask for nice Tristian or Mark, the only nice guys who at least came to us and tried to apologize and get us to go back another day for a better experience just because they saw the bad...

Subject: Feedback on My Recent Visit to Kaka Restaurant

Dear Kaka Team,

I rarely write negative reviews, as I understand how challenging it is to meet everyone’s expectations. However, my recent visit to your restaurant left me with an overwhelmingly disappointing experience that I feel compelled to share.

The concept of your establishment is undoubtedly appealing — $44 per person for a buffet-style menu with unlimited ordering for 1.5 hours, followed by an extra 30 minutes to finish the meal. However, the execution fell short in multiple areas.

First, your Instagram advertisements portray beautifully crafted dishes, creating high expectations. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what was promised. The dishes we ordered looked entirely different from your promotional material — the difference was akin to comparing a luxury car to a budget model. While both serve the same purpose, the disparity in quality and presentation was staggering.

There are no photos in the menu, making it impossible to know what you are ordering or how it will be presented. When the dishes arrived, they were underwhelming, with sushi rolls containing 80-90% rice. This imbalance made the rolls both visually unappealing and unsatisfying. Of the 15 items we ordered, none were particularly enjoyable. Even the sashimi — featuring salmon, butterfish, and calamari — was disappointing. The calamari, in particular, was inedible, resembling a rubbery, flavorless piece of plastic.

The service was equally lackluster. The staff were cold and unengaged, failing to create any sense of hospitality or a welcoming atmosphere. Plates were inconsistently cleared, and to order additional dishes, we had to write down item numbers on paper slips and wave down waiters, who often ignored us. This lack of attentiveness made the experience feel frustrating and impersonal.

To add to the discomfort, the restroom was unclean, further detracting from the overall experience. It’s apparent that while your restaurant might have started strong, complacency has set in, with quality and service standards noticeably declining.

What could have been a pleasant evening turned into an experience we simply wanted to end as quickly as possible. The only silver lining was that my wife and I could laugh at how bad it was, as it was almost comically disappointing.

I hope you take this feedback constructively, as I genuinely believe your concept has potential. However, significant improvements in food quality, presentation, service, and cleanliness are needed to align the actual experience with the expectations set by your...
