Yesterday, my family and I had lunch at Kao. When the morcilla (blood sausage) arrived I noted that it was very soft and gooey. I asked the server if that was how it should be and she said, “Yes. That’s the Argentinian way”. I wish I would have trusted my instincts. My 6 year old son and I were the only ones who ate it and we spent the entire night vomiting, until we decided to go to the hospital.
We are sure it was that because we had forgone dinner, since it had been such a late lunch.
This place is fine. I wouldn’t want to dissuade anyone from going but I think it’s important to let others know that there is improper handling and cooking of food going on at this establishment. Please proceed with caution.
Below, there is a reply from the restaurant stating that my claim is false. The morcilla was raw and I regret not following my instincts and listening to the server, who stated it was fine. The only two people in my family who ate the morcilla, ended up in the hospital with severe vomiting and diarrhea. NOTHING ELSE WAS INGESTED FOLLOWING THIS LATE LUNCH. I will claim with complete certainty that it was the soft gooey morcilla, which was still cold in the center, that led to this because it is common sense. The blood sausage was not cooked properly and the bacteria on the pig intestine casing is most likely what led to our illness. To say that my claim is false is in bad taste. Thank you for the invitation to return but I prefer not to patronize restaurants that...
Read moreThis place is a gem, hidden within a strip mall right off of 82nd Street and Ne 2nd Ave. It's where my favorite Ramen place, Hachidori, used to be. Luckily, many of the amazing servers, like Ovee and Rika are still here and some great new faces as well. The owner was super friendly and thanked us for trying out this new hot spot. It's super cozy and very welcoming ambiance, makes the already, delectable Argentinan cuisine, even more soul warming and fulfilling. Guido,the charismatic owner, even offered us a complimentary glass of Malbec or Quillmes, a delish native beer from his country. The melted provoleta, was my favorite, served with crispy bread on the side and I added cherry tomatoes and chorizo on top🌟☺️. My boyfriend enjoyed the lamb shank along with their signature grilled veggies, which are🔥..I would love to try to imitate the mix at home, daily 😜🤫. It was super quiet when we dined there but I believe it's because they just opened..when I put in Google their main location in Hallandale came up. They have great reviews at all the other locations and I'm giving this place of five star review because it deserves it. Don't sleep on this new restaurant.They have all types of grilled meats and other option. The food is fresh and even if you can cook at home, come for the service. The staff have the most upbeat energy, and they seem to treat us...
