Kai Japanese Restaurant Langley — Restaurant in Township of Langley

Sea it Eat it…

It’s nice they opened up this second location at the new Latimer Village along 200th Street. The parking in the plaza is a bit tight but there is street parking available.

The interior is quite spacious with a very classy modern decor and look. I would say its interior layout and appearance is a notch up from its Coquitlam location, giving diners a comfortable dining experience for all occasions.

Ever since they first opened, I have been here a few times, this is what I ordered the last time I was here;

Miso soup (complimentary). Nice and hot but pretty basic. Real crab sunomono. Nice flavour and the noodle had a nice texture, just wish the crab meat were more whole and chunky. Spider roll . It’s okay, pretty standard soft shell crab roll. Asparagus bacon kushiyaki and okra kushiyaki. They were okay, goes good with sake. Oyster motoyaki. Nice little char on top and quite fresh and tasty. Seafood Yaki udon. Not bad but I personally would like the green onions cooked to enhance the flavours and aroma. Dragon special roll. It’s okay, all the ingredients were well balanced. Chopped scallops and uni nigiris. Very fresh and tasty, got to love them unis. Swordfish, Akami, albacore toro, chu toro, O- toro nigiris. They were very fresh and beautiful in colours. The butteriness accompanied by the well seasoned rice gave that foodgasmic taste. Loved it! Deluxe sashimi platter. Everything was fresh and tasty with a nice presentation. (Request the amaebi heads to be deep fried before eating platter)

Overall, I tried pretty much most of the sushi places in the Langley area (except Yugafu…) I would have to say this new location is the finer one of them that offers a larger variety of items plus the specialty fishes. The seafood was very fresh and everything was tasty.

The classy and comfortable layout of the restaurant makes the dining experience more enjoyable too.

I appreciate the fine services here more than the Coquitlam location. The servers and staffs here were very welcoming, friendly and attentive (a notch up from the Coquitlam location).

Always a repeat for me and certainly a recommendation by me if in the area looking for good sushi and...

This is by far the best sushi place in Langley, and one of the best in BC. I am extremely picky when it comes to sushi - I’ve tried any and everything from the most highly rated omakase to almost every sushi restaurant in Langley (and more than I can count in other cities as well). Kai’s sushi is comparable to some of the most high-end sushi restaurants in Vancouver, and may I say it’s better than half of them, if not more. The fish is exactly as fresh as it should be, the rice is perfectly done, and you can tell that their standards are extremely high when it comes to sourcing their fish (both locally and internationally). I truly hope that they maintain the high standards they have set in the coming years. I can finally say that I have a favourite sushi spot in my area - one with lovely service, a welcoming interior, exceptional cleanliness, and some of the freshest fish I’ve had. For reference, I have tried most (80%) of their nigiri’s, a few regular rolls, a few different types of sashimi, and a few appies. Incredibly happy with everything from top to bottom - keep it up ☺️ (Also, I do not have many photos since we’ve been unable to let our phones eat first lately....

Kai Japanese Restaurant in Langley is the second location of a well-loved sushi restaurant, with the original branch based in Port Coquitlam. It has now been over two years since this Langley location opened. Personally, I prefer to leave reviews long after a restaurant opens. In the early stages, many places tend to offer excellent food and service as they aim to attract new customers. However, maintaining that quality consistently over time is what truly defines a great restaurant. In that regard, Kai Sushi Langley has continued to impress me even after two years, which is genuinely commendable.

From the moment you walk in, the high ceilings and spacious layout create a bright and open atmosphere. Tables are well-spaced, offering a sense of privacy during meals. One standout feature is the transparent kitchen window, allowing customers to see how the food is prepared. The kitchen appears meticulously clean and well-maintained, which is especially reassuring for a restaurant that specializes in fresh seafood. The tables are generously sized, and the seating is both comfortable and clean—giving off a fine-dining impression despite being a local spot.

The menu is impressively diverse, ranging from appetizers and sushi to hot kitchen dishes. It can be hard to decide what to try first! Personally, I enjoy the Beef Tataki and Spicy Ebi Mayo from the appetizer menu. When it comes to sushi, the Deluxe Sashimi Platter is my go-to choice—served beautifully with a generous variety of fresh, high-quality sashimi. On days when I’m in the mood for a warm comfort meal, I opt for the Chicken Teriyaki or Curry Tonkatsu—both hearty, flavorful, and reminiscent of a home-cooked dish.

There’s even a hidden value deal: if you order the Japanese Ramen, you can add 8 pieces of Chicken Karaage for just $4. It’s a fantastic combo that offers great value for money. Of course, there are many other delicious items on the menu worth exploring as well.

I continue to visit regularly and plan to keep coming back. It's a real pleasure to have such a high-quality sushi restaurant right here in Langley. I sincerely hope Kai Sushi continues to thrive and be appreciated by even more people. This review reflects my honest impressions from numerous visits over time.

Kai Japanese Restaurant Langley점은 Port Coquitlam에 본점을 두고 있는 스시 레스토랑의 두 번째 지점으로, 오픈한 지 어느덧 2년이 넘었습니다. 개인적으로 음식점 리뷰는 보통 오픈 초기가 아닌, 일정 시간이 지난 후에 남기는 편입니다. 오픈 초기에는 대부분 음식 퀄리티나 직원 서비스, 위생 상태가 우수하지만, 그것을 지속적으로 유지하는 것은 결코 쉬운 일이 아니기 때문입니다. Kai Sushi Langley점은 2년이 지난 지금도 여전히 높은 수준의 퀄리티와 서비스를 유지하고 있다는 점에서 진심으로 칭찬드리고 싶습니다.

매장에 들어서면 높은 천장이 주는 개방감과 넓고 여유 있는 테이블 배치 덕분에 쾌적하고 프라이버시가 보장된 식사가 가능합니다. 특히 키친이 투명 유리로 되어 있어 요리하는 모습을 직접 볼 수 있는 점도 인상적이었습니다. 주방 내부가 깔끔하게 정돈되어 있고 위생 관리가 철저하게 이루어지고 있는 것이 느껴져, 신선한 해산물을 취급하는 곳으로서의 신뢰감이 높았습니다. 테이블과 좌석도 넓고 편안하며, 인테리어는 로컬 스시집임에도 불구하고 마치 파인 다이닝에 온 듯한 느낌을 줍니다.

메뉴도 매우 다양합니다. 에피타이저, 스시, 키친 요리까지 선택의 폭이 넓어 처음에는 무엇을 고를지 고민이 될 정도입니다. 개인적으로는 에피타이저 중에서는 Beef Tataki와 Spicy Ebi Mayo를 즐겨먹고, 스시류에서는 Deluxe Sashimi Platter를 가장 추천드립니다. 신선하고 다양한 고급 사시미를 큰 접시에 아름답게 담아주어, 이 집의 시그니처 메뉴라고 생각합니다. 가볍게 식사하고 싶을 때는 치킨 테리야끼나 카레 돈카츠도 추천드리고 싶습니다. 정성스럽게 준비된 따뜻한 집밥 같은 느낌을 주는 메뉴들입니다.

특히 숨은 가성비 메뉴로는 일본식 라멘 주문 시 단 $4 추가하면 치킨 가라아게 8개를 함께 제공하는 세트가 있는데, 아주 만족스럽고 합리적인 구성이라고 생각합니다.

지금도 자주 방문하고 있으며, 앞으로도 계속 찾을 예정입니다. 이렇게 훌륭한 스시 레스토랑이 Langley 지역에 있다는 점이 매우 반가우며, 앞으로도 꾸준히 많은 분들께 사랑받는 공간이 되기를 바랍니다. 이 리뷰는 제가 직접 오랜 시간 방문하며 느낀 솔직한...
