Food and service were excellent. The sushi rolls and sashimi were very fresh and delicious. Craft cocktails, Yuzu Garden and White Lotus Martini were also exceptional. The only negative was the calamari was a bit rubbery but the dipping sauce was very good.

We have been before and decided to go back. Food was wonderful, as was the presentation and portions. Our server and wait staff were on point. The only downside was the bar was very crowded to get there and the bathrooms were not tended to very well (2 of the 3 stalls in the women's were overflowing).

What an incredible experience I recently had at Kai. It was truly without equal in Arizona, and perhaps even the entire Southwest. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, the service and quality were unparalleled. I highly recommend you try it out.

Dinner was fantastic as always, we did think that the pork belly was a bit tough this time but the restaurant promptly took it off our bill which was unexpected but appreciated. Going back next week. So happy to have this restaurant in Mesa!
