Kaiyo Sushi and Bar is across from the Methodist Hospital. The front is narrow. You might miss it. The interior is roomy and long. Looks can be deceiving. My wife and I had lunch on Tuesday. It wasn’t busy. That surprised me because the restaurant had many good reviews. To be exact, it had a score of 4.8 out of 5. Or I missed the lunch crowd. The good news is that the service was faster than most eateries. We started with the seaweed salad. It was delicious. The daikon radish complements the seaweed. I ordered the lunch special Beef Teriyaki combo. I chose the Spicy Tuna roll and the House Salad. My wife ordered the Lunch Mix Tempura. She chose Miso soup rather than the House Salad. The Miso Soup was warm and satisfying without being heavy. Everything about it was well-balanced. The House Salad had a dressing that was good. But I can't name the flavor. It had a fresh, tangy taste. I wish we had the recipe. I think we would’ve used it in all our salads. The teriyaki sauce on the beef was so good that I could drink it. I wish the beef was more tender. Next time, I’ll order the chicken or salmon version. The vegetable tempura coating was just right in thickness. It was the finest tempura we’ve had in years. In conclusion, it was a wonderful lunch. The food was addictive. The service was fast. The parking was convenient. We can’t wait to try...
Read moreThis is our second time going to Kaiyo Sushi and Bar, and as with the first time, we left feeling satisfied and with a great experience.
Our choices during this trip: Shrimp Shumai (Appetizer) - Deliciously ground-up shrimp that is fried into a dumpling-like ball. Very yummy and light. Completely addictive.
Entrees: Tiger Rolls - A specialty of Kaiyo's and it shows! Spicy Cod Roe on the roll is done just right-does not taste cheap and fishy like other places-flakes on the roll make it crunchy and give it substance. 9/10
My entree: Nabenyaki Udon - If you ever want a chicken noodle soup with some Japanese/Asian flair, this should be your automatic go-to option. Sweet, savory, light-it hits all the notes of an awesome comfort dish. It has a combination of chicken, fried shrimp, fish cake, egg, onions, and other vegetables in it and it all works well. Very yummy! 10/10
If you already have read my previous review, you'll notice that I don't give any restaurant a five if it isn't clean/does not have good friendly staff. This place checks both options easily, and they'll have my service whenever I'm...
Read moreI have been a patron of this restaurant for four years. I really like their food and I think they have very good sushi. I recently discovered that they will deliver via DoorDash. I’ve ordered several times in the last three months via DoorDash but tonight I did not receive all of my order. When I called the restaurant they didn’t seem to care and they brushed me off. I couldn’t even get a manager to talk to me on the telephone. Basically I was missing two pieces of a tunaska roll. This roll costs over $14. They would not compensate me or reimburse me and on DoorDash, I got a measly couple of dollars of credit. So in the meantime, I paid full price and I did not get the full order. I’m disappointed in the customer service of Kaiyo Sushi and we will not be ordering or eating here ever again. The order tonight was $50 and pretty much what we spend every visit. They do not seem to appreciate their business clientele. If they would’ve expressed sincere concern and would’ve let me speak to a manager I would not feel the way that I do right now. This is mainly what...
