About the restaurant

California’s best sushi in a laid back, casual atmosphere with Hawaiian vibes.

You will get the freshest, finest, and the best quality sushi at Kai Ola. We serve fresh, unique (as well as traditional) sushi and we take pride in how it tastes. Our chefs prepare top quality creations and we take pride in our work.

Kai Ola is not about the scene. While locals and visitors alike love to dine with us, this is not a fine dining experience. This is about the fish. Sandals, board shorts, and bathing suits are welcome.

Kai Ola has the true Aloha! spirit in everything we do. Please come join us for the best fish and sushi creations you have yet to taste.

I’m not a vegetarian, but The Plot is rapidly becoming one of my favorite restaurants. It’s so nice to have brunch in a pleasant atmosphere in a place with lots of healthy options. For brunch, the patty melt in particular is amazing. For dinner, we like to get an assortment of their seasonal vegetable dishes. The service is always fantastic, they have such a friendly and attentive staff of lovely folks.

The pork tamale was excellent and I had the whole beans instead of refried on the side. It’s so yummy. The rice was good but I added some hot sauce and mixed in the beans. The cocktails are awesome. We had iced carajillo and added a little milk and orange rind. Delicious.

We grabbed a table last minute for a quick family dinner. The service was on point, Angela was very attentive and the food came out blazing fast. My son loved the Udon and my daughter devoured the chicken teriyaki. We had some rolls and the special nigiri, we especially liked the truffle sea bass one. This place has it together, will definitely be returning.

Another good experience. Quiet and comfortable in the restaurant. Service was good, as was the food. Great quality and healthy. The restaurant is in a calm part of the mall, and easy to get to from the parking garage. All around perfect for the business lunch.

The waiter and manager were great, the food was delicious, and I didn't know that they have two private rooms, which is great. I will come more often.
