Great restaurant

10/10 for there Sushi love this place, thanks Vegetarian options: Vegan/vegetarian options available Food : 5/5 |

Good lunch spot. Had the preset lunch B. Lots of food. Pretty fresh. Fast service. Good place to chat.

Great food and decent prices. One odd moment at the end when we had been finished for at least 15 minutes: we were chatting, and no one cleared our plates.

This is one of my go to take out sushi places; today is unfortunately one of their careless days as I found a piece of long hair in my sashimi.

Awesome food and service. Great place to take a customer. I even tried and liked the tofu app.

Great place for sushi. The rolls are amazing and the oshi is out of this world. Also, if you love nigiri like me, its super fresh here.

Servers were very attentive and their food also was very good

The waitress collected bill while we were eating. Another beer would have been nice.

came her for the 2nd time..we were very clear to our waitress we dont eat pork, she said the prawn gyozas were just prawns..when it came it had pork in it! waitress should know whats on the items or at least ask if she dosent know!

This is the only sushi restaurant that Ive been to in the area that delivers quality food consistently

Amazing sushi place. We got the $70 Kai sashimi platter and I have never in my life seen so many different types of delicious sashimi before. Have some new favourites now that I will have to get when I go out for sashimi! Edit: Went back recently with our three year old, and they had kid cutlery and trainer chopsticks which she loved using. This place is super family friendly!

Was nice japanese place in Freemont. Was pretty busy but food came fast. Toro was above average.

Just a bit on the pricey side but the food was good. Their dinner bento meal was excellent.

The best Japanese restaurant in all of Vancouver! They got real wasabi, not the fake stuff. The sushi is full of flavor and very fresh. The unagi oshi (eel) is so good and cooked to perfection. The noodle dishes are full of flavor and not oily. Plus, theyre one of the few places that does plain udon noodle soup if youre wanting something light and fresh. I highly recommend this place. The staff are super friendly, and the vibes are on point. Vegetarian options: They have plenty of veggie options to pick from. Dietary restrictions: I have a slight seafood allergy and staff were more than able to accommodate. Parking: Theres a fair amount of parking, plus its free too. Kid-friendliness: They are more than willing and able to accommodate kids. Wheelchair accessibility: They have a disabled parking spot right in front with a ramp. The whole restaurant is on a single floor.

Honestly this may be the best sushi restaurant in the world, outside of Tokyo Japan. Thanks so much to the staff for the friendly service

Excellent meal

Actually the best Japanese restaurant in the Fremont area and the most kid friendly too. Staff are genuinely kind and attentive. The ambiance is always good and always look forward to eating here! Vegetarian options: Rolls with no fish or meat are available Kid-friendliness: Staff can provide kids friendly plates, utensils, and chopsticks Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is single floor and ample space between tables for wheelchair access

This place is great. Very big portions, great value, everything was delicious. High quality ingredients and friendly service

Got take out. Excellent sushi. Quality is good. Not too saucy and good quality.

One of the best Japanese restaurants! Love their spicy prawns

Food is great, sashimi fresh, price reasonable. Service good. Once it s open at 11:30 am, all the tables would be filled within half hour. Wheelchair accessibility: Room for wheelchair and walkers

Very good sushi !

Delicious food and very welcoming and attentive service! Kudos to the whole team!

The interior of this restaurant is pretty modern and clean. The staff is super friendly. The food - its been a while since Ive had good fois gras nigiri. Its either too small or over cooked where its tough. I now know where to go for delicious fois gras and its even decently priced. Their bluefin tuna toro trio is alright, the Chu Toro is the best. The otoro had a bit of membrane so it slightly ruined the mouthfeel. I would recommend getting Chu Toro nigiri or sashimi. Their other rolls and appetizers are also good. Will definitely be going back again to try other dishes. Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs and boosters. But the space for highchair isnt so great if youre in a big party.

I thought I would take the family to a new japanese restaurant. Kai had such great reviews, so we wanted to try it out. After we were seated, our server( the short girl) didnt seem like she was I the best mood. Whatever, lets make the best of it. We tried to be as polite as possible, but that seemed to enable her rudness. When she brought our food, she just dropped it on the table and left without saying anything or even looking at us. Her attitude made us so uncomfortable. The food was overpriced, and portions were small. The deluxe sashimi plater was not worth the deluxe price . All the portions were cut so thin, I have no idea how this place got such good reviews. We will never come back here again. I normally just say whatever and not come to a restaurant, but the server was so ignorant I had to write a review. If you drive for 5 minutes in any direction you will find a japanese restaurant. Do not go to this place was of time and money.

I think this will do well in Korea.

No air conditioning

Nice place. While the food is delicious and well presented, I feel I get much better value at a small sushi shop in Maple ridge

Great chicken katsu and spicy pork take out.

Food has been okay but service has gone downhill significantly in a short period of time. Our server rushed our order. We came in with a baby carrier, when the food came, the waitress took no care and SLAM the plate down and woke him up. Another one walked around swinging the sanitizing solution bottles and some liquid sprayed on us. :( :(

Great service. Some of the most hard working staff youd ever notice. They pay attention to detail. Fast and efficient. The food is great tasting as well

Services

Ordered the set meal (dinner) and it tasted good Lots of portions

Awesome food, the sushi is very fresh as well

Well presented sushi, fairly busy on a rainy day

This restaurant has the best atmosphere, taste, and service!!!

Alaska roll sushi pieces were missing avocado and dynamite roll had very very small pieces of tempura.Sushi was not good.

Outstanding sushi combo at a good price

Every time I visit Kai I feel comfortable dining in. Food is always good and fresh.

Best sushi in the area, and presented beautifully

Always a great to get sushi, awesome staff

Food

The sushi and tempura were fantastic I could see parking being an issue on busy days but on a Tuesday at 7 pm parking was a breeze! Our dinner was relaxed, the food was good, I noticed my friend who ordered chicken teriyaki had many onions in it. She didnt complain but she left many on the plate at the end. My tempura was hot and my salmon/avocado roll was fresh. Thanks Ill be back! Parking: On Tuesday at ~7 pm parking was no problem!

It is a nice place and servers are attentive !! Food is actually really good and fresh and prices are decent!! Thank you :)) Food

The beef tataki is so delicious!

Theres a slight difference between a Sushi place and a Japanese restaurant. Kai rocks

First time eating at this Japanese restaurant. I really enjoyed our lunch. We had avacado roll, california roll,yam tempura and minor soup. Fresh ingredients! Definitely will be back ! Food

**UPDATED REVIEW MARCH 2024*** absolutely incredible,fresh food!! Our rolls especially the yam tempura roll with the teriyaki sauce drizzled over top OMG!!! to die for my goodness!! The only downfall is the spinach gomae was flavorless and the sauce wasnt good at all unfortunately. Ive had better here before. Thank you Kai restaurant for your superb and absolutely excellent food and service as always Again I highly highly recommend this place!!! Always fast and efficient service. Always very tasty and fresh tasting food absolutely highly recommend this place!!!

I tried this restaurant on a whim because it it close to my work. I was not disappointed, the sushi was fresh and of high quality. The favorite dish is California rolls. After eating them you can tell that its real crab, not fake and the flavour is fresh and phenomenal

The music was super loud which made it an unpleasant atmosphere however the food was delicious!

Service was excellent. Prices are reasonable. Food is delicious

Incredible food, loved the staff and food!

Really good Sushi, generous portions, some higher end dishes that are quite unique

Food is great, got the dinner box / combo and a teriyaki. music is a little bit loud but love the atmosphere

One of the best sushi places I ve tried in a long while in the tricities areas. The service always seems rush though and stressed out.

Nice and fresh sashimi. Presentation was great.

Came here for lunch. Not bad, pretty good! Sashimi was good quality. Had a lunch combo, and it was good value. Service was very gold. Definitely will return in the future.

Very good. Food is delicious

I visited last time through a friends recommendation, and not only was the food pretty, but it was also really delicious. Stone pot roe rice, Grilled Ika, sashimi and oshi were all delicious. For reference, there was gelato ice cream for dessert, and it came in a variety of flavors and was really delicious!! The staff was really friendly and the food was really good in a modern atmosphere. I think Ill be going often in the future. I highly recommend it!!

Has been our sushi go-to in the area! Recently one of our regular items was changed, but the delivery-app menu was not updated. I called to let them know our order was not as expected and they refunded me the item, as well as offering me a free one on my next visit. The staff handled it so well and were very patient and gracious.

I see the high reviews but for me Im not huge on this place. Reason being is the price is so expensive and I do find it lacks flavour. The lunch boxes are nice because you get gomae as well and presentation is very nice on everything, again lacks flavour and sauce and I just dont see the hype.

Love the sushi, big menu as well! Highly recommend

Really great quality and great service. We usually get sushi here once a week and it is always perfect and exactly what we expect.

Kai Sushi is always delicious. The staff are awesome and the restaurant is always really clean. The food is fresh and their bento lunches are delicious and beautiful! I highly recommend checking them out if youre a sushi lover. One point of feedback - the music can be really loud. I feel so old saying that but its true.

Always superb! Fantastic food, amazing staff ; fast, friendly and knowledgeable. Very clean, my absolute favorite place!!

The best sushi place. Probably the busiest too.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Food nice, service good but just the waiting time for seating is a bit too long.

Exceptional service, fresh delish food, polite service and super clean environment.

Good food quality, and friendly staff

Some of the best tasting sushi I have had. Was visiting from out if town with a big family and all enjoyed!

Great lunch platter options and priced great for amount of food. Food has always been great, can be busy and thus slight drop in service at those times as expected.

Salmon oshi is so good! We love nigiri as well!

The food was absolutely delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was elegant and inviting. Will definitely be returning customers.

Great place for sushi, though they are overpriced for what they offer. You can go to another sushi restaurant and get nearly the same for about 25% less. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Easy to modify food Parking: It s a smaller parking lot Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking available out front.

-Overpriced, little portions and they forgot an item from my order and I had to ask about it.

A bit more pricey than other sushi places around, but the food quality it is superior. Great taste too! Friendly staff!

Excellent food, great service, reasonable price!

Parking: Good Kid-friendliness: Good Wheelchair accessibility: Good

Average food, but nice server!

Awesome

If you know quality then you ll be back.

Food was fresh, delicious and well presented. We loved the lunch set and nigiri sushi Great service Food

Bit pricey compared to the quality of foods. Decent presentstion. Fast and friendly service.

Best sushi in Port Coquitlam! The crunch roll is the best!!!

Good quality and service. Ill try it again for sure. Food

Their lunch menu ABCD are good under $20, quantity is so much that i shared .

One if the best Japanese restaurants I ve ever been

Service and ambience were good but quite disappointed with the food. Small portion and not tasty. The tempura was a bit soggy :(

Great sushi, generous portions, fast and friendly service and affordable too Do try the Amazing roll Food

Very rich!

The food was delicious!

Food is great but not the service.

Good food, the waitress I got was nice, fast time, menu has lots of options no pictures tho, the water cups are super cute, good radio music.

This place used to be good. Has gone down hill and customer service was not good as they couldnt find our reservation for 7 as someone forgot to write it down but rather than offering us a table which there were tons of unreserved tables available they were arguing with us about the reservation for several minutes and how they couldnt find the name . they also forgot my moms order. makes me sad because this place used to be good with good service

Spicy raw seafood with vegetables on rice (Korean style) is so amazing. Its so huge in portion 2 to 3 people can share.

Chicken yakitori was raw had to send it back, portion size for lunch combos are very very small. tempura had 3 pieces, with a very tiny shrimp. Never mentioned anything when paying the bill of their mistake.

I ve been to Kai sushi a handful of times and the food is consistently great, very good quality, service is quick and friendly. The price is a little but higher than other places, but it s worth it for the quality!

It s an ok place

Never knew about this place inside the new Fremont development in PoCo but its a nice local gem! Very clean & modern place with both traditional and innovative Japanese fare. We had the chirashi - which was huge! - and some fresh sashimi. Excellently prepared and tasted great. Staff were friendly and attentive.

I first visited 5 years ago and both the food and service was great then. I visited again today as I was in the area. The food is still great. The salmon tempura was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce they drizzled on it paired perfectly. The beef tataki was refreshing and the Burke Mountain roll was a hit too. Only disappointment was the service. Its not that the wait staff was not friendly and attentive, it was a little puzzling that they told us to wait for 5 minutes to be seated when there were seats available. I can patiently wait longer if there werent seats available but the reason given as to why they cant seat us was because the kitchen needed to catch up to the current customer orders. I dont see how theres a conflict to sit us first and then let us know that the kitchen will take a later longer. That would have been the more appropriate approach than asking us to stand at the door and wait for the kitchen to catch up.

Mandarine Fever Lemon Prawn Snow Train Spicy Ebi Mayo All of them are so good yumm

Im really quite curious as to what has happened to this place? I have been coming to this restaurant since I moved into the area in 2019 and its always been my go-to favorite sushi restaurant, but the last few times Ive been here the quality has been quite poor. But my main reason for the review is that I went for lunch today at 12pm and I ordered my usual order but when I tried the dynamite roll it tasted quite bad as the imitation crab tasted off and the shrimp was very fishy and rubbery so I stopped eating it and politely brought it up to the server which she asked if I wanted a different roll which I agreed to, when she brought the replacement roll she said the chef tasted the roll and there was nothing wrong with the dynamite roll so it might just be you which really threw me off as Ive never had this happen before and I never had to return food here before.... So its disappointing to say but I wont ever eat here again after coming for over 4 yrs.

Fantastic sushi, great customer service and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!!! Food

The edamame is immaculate.

Went for dinner with my child he only wanted sushi and they were Amazing. My son said, this is the best sushi Ive ever had and hes had California Rolls from almost every sushi place around this area. Their food was fresh and full of flavour. When we ordered an ice cream to share it was 2 scoops which was an unexpected happy surprise, it meant I was allowed to have some too. I suggest you try them, I know my family will be back.

Gotta be try the Kai C, best terikayi combo in town.

This is my favourite sushi place in poco, my bf and I come probably once a week. Their sushi is always so good and the fish is very fresh. The udon soup is our favourite!

As always it was great and service is fantastic. Thank you Kai

It was my first time to dine at Kai s. The place was very welcoming. My favourite from our order was the BB-Q squid. I was in awe of the softness of the grilled squid like I could eat the entirety of it. I also love their fire alarm sushi, very tasty. In addition, Yunnie, the waitresss was very accommodating.

Absolutely amazing lunch specials! I always go here for lunch when working in the area

Good Service and tasty food

The tea was hot and tasty. Food was made from fresh ingredients. The staff was friendly. However, the food was not that delicious and the rice was a bit dry. Audio system probably needs an upgrade - too noisy. And waiters never checked on us if we needed anything. I would recommend bluefin tuna sashimi

The best sushi in Port Coquitlam People there is so friendly

I love this place, service is amazing, food is delicious.

Very fresh and clean. All food was very delicious and quick served. Except for the old lady staff, the rest of the staff were very friendly. Food : 5/5

Very comforting atmosphere and very delicious food! The servers were very nice and the food was served quickly. The salmon teriyaki was very well made, it was very balanced with vegetables. The house green salad with ginger dressing was very good and had good textures. Great experience! I ve come here many times already and will definitely return.

Vegetarian lunch box was phenomenal for 18$ Vegetarian options: Lots Kid-friendliness: Kids options available Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.

Stylish clean restaurant with friendly staff. Food was really good,

We thought wed try a new sushi restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by Kai. The food was great, I had the Gyoza, asparagus skewer and miso soup while my girlfriend tried a variety of different rolls. The service was also very good, our server made a very minor mistake on one of the rolls but ended up comping the whole table drinks which was super appreciated and not necessary. I would definitely eat here again! Dietary restrictions: Celiac options available

Very good sushi and great service!

Great food, even better service. The restaurant itself is also very clean and modern. Washrooms are clean and place feels nice. I love the food, but the only downside is the price.

I have been here at least 3 times in the last couple of months. The food and service are great. Friendly staff. Clean restaurant.

Great restaurant, our food was so delicious. Sashimi was fresh. Rolls were amazing, so good. Excellent presentation. The sauses acompiing the food were off the charts good. Our server Sharon was delightful, professional, and on the ball Thank you. Will definitely return Kid-friendliness: Excellent

Consistently good.

Best value Japanese restaurant in the area. The lunch bento box is one of the best deals. It comes with miso soup, gomae, sunomono and salad to start, then you choose whether you want sushi, teriyaki, noodles or vegetarian. It comes with tempura or kushiyaki. Fresh tasting fish, crunchy tempura. Great ambience also.

Best bento box I ve ever had! And Yunnie is one of the sweetest people I ve ever met. Best waitress ever!

Poor quality food for the price they are charging. Teriyaki was super oily and salty

Very fresh sushi house. A regular go-to for us. Service and value exceptional.

I usually don t eat Korean style sushi but this particular restaurant definitely differs from the others. They have their own style and the spicy Korean sauce was the best one I tried so far. The recipe is just a perfect combination. The portions were right and the food was delicious!

Really good and fresh Japanese food
