> We ordered four dishes during my visit, and the food was a mix of hits and misses: > * **Miso Cod:** This was good. The fish was fresh, and the sweet and salty glaze was balanced. > * **Rock Shrimp:** This is essentially a fried shrimp dish. Unfortunately, the seasoning/dressing was way too salty and overly spicy. > * **Beef Udon:** Honestly, one of the worst dishes I’ve ever had. The beef was incredibly tough and chewy, and the soup broth was overwhelmingly, intensely salty. > * **Huntington Roll:** A sushi roll with butterfish and spicy minced tuna. Nothing special.

Came in late on NYE with a small group and had a great dining experience. The service was initially a bit slow. We seated at 815 and last call was supposed to be 845(pushed to 9). It was 825 and the server had not come back to take our order yet so we started prepping to build a large order in case we run in to the cut off time. When our server arrived she was super friendly and let us know that she would take care of us no matter the time restrictions, including alcoholic drinks. She said she would go back and make them herself if need be. The food was delicious!!! We ordered almost good variety of rolls for the table to share and they were all delicious. My favorite would probably be the Newport. Can’t wait to come back.

Great food, great ambiance, and the service was outstanding! Our server was on it the whole time catering to us. Glasses were never empty. Food was coming out at a great pace, giving us time to enjoy the plates. I can say I was impressed with the pork belly buns as they had many flavors ranging from, ginger, cilantro, and mint with the pork flavor made this a favorite. The fried rice was so good it gave me ideas of ingredients to add to my own with a great range of flavor. Also on the list was the HB roll, which was very good and the balboa roll with a flavor all its own and not to miss. Stuffd jalapeños were on a different level with fresh seafood in it giving it a great simple fresh taste. Photos attached.

I sat at the sushi 🍣 bar and really enjoyed the company of the chefs. This is definitely not the traditional sushi restaurant. Traditional sushi is very light on flavor so you can taste the freshness of the fish. At Kai, every bite is packed with flavor so this is a different way to serve sushi. The staff service was good. Interior design is nice. I would definitely come back and take a few friends.

We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday on a Sunday night and sat at the sushi bar. Service: 11/10 Not only was the servers on top of their game the sushi chef was attentive, entertaining and made us feel so special. Food and drinks: unbelievable. Best omaske I’ve ever had in Orange County. Every creative drink menu. Perfect place for date night. Decor: let my video and pictures speak for itself. Can’t wait to come back again on a Friday or Saturday and try the whiskey bar.
