  • Love this Black miso cod dish so much! Get it with steamed rice. Took it to work with me for the next 2 days for lunch- delicious.

  • We had an incredible dinner there tonight! We asked Matt and Nick the 2 Sushi chefs to make 3 special plates. Wow! Unbelievably high quality and creative! Highly recommend.

  • Unbelievably delicious sushi, sashimi and tempura. We had a variety of things from the menu and everything we had was fantastic! The service was top notch, can't wait to go back for more!

  • Kai Ola was good but not as good as I had hoped. The sushi was fresh but I think the composition was just OK. We had the Moonlight roll, Sunset roll, Crispy rice, cucumber salad, yellowtail and albacore nigiri as well as an order of uni nigiri. Everything was fresh and presented as described in the menu. Somehow the flavors just felt flat to me, a bit boring. Service was prompt and friendly. Don’t really understand the 3% “service fee” in addition to 20% tip. But no complaints about the service.

  • Such an aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable experience! The food was incredible, the service was exceptional, and the mochi was the cherry on top! Highly recommend the Beacon Roll, the Sweet and Spicy edamame, and the Good view roll!

  • Kai-Ola was excellent. We reserved the 5 person table up front for dinner on New Years Eve at 5:30 p.m. and got some great sushi and great service. The theme at this restaurant is a relaxing surfer feel and very chill. Will be back again.
