Kai Sushi - Lakeview

Excellent Avocado rolls, California rolls, and other vegetarian rolls. Edamame yes. The best part about this place is that the young ladies who wait on you dine in or pickup are extremely pleasant and remember your name. Great to have them in the neighborhood.

One of the reasons we chose to move to Southport was to have to luxury of walking my wife home from work and stop by the many eateries around the area. Kai is such a place. The sushi rolls were tasty. I want to go back to see the consistency of the rice. The staff showed great hospitality and we felt the warm welcome. The decor is modern/modest. Definitely worth a try! Next time I'll have to see partake in the drink menu.One more thing, the Dynamite roll has a hefty portion of seared scallops. I recommend it:)

I've been coming to kai for the last five years and it's a great little neighborhood sushi spot. The wood details are gorgeous. The main chef of the restaurant goes between locations, but if you can catch him behind the sushi bar, highly recommends striking up a conversation with him. He's so kind, welcoming, knowledgeable. And an extra added perk is that it's BYOB! The bigger rolls with the spicy tuna are delicious. The sashimi platters are always a hit. The miso soup is delicious. The ramen isn't the best ramen I've ever had but it still gives you that warming feeling on your insides.

After watching a movie at music box we ventured down the street and found Kai. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and seriously tasty sushi. Excellent salmon shashimi.

Had a super fantastic omakase experience here and we were even able to bring our infant. Super friendly staff and the food was spectacular. The chef was very knowledgeable with everything and we even got to chat about omakase in Chicago. It's been awhile since we were able to dine out after having a baby & I was pleased that we were able to bring her along. I'm already telling my husband we should go back.

The staff and chefs were so kind and gracious when my two kids and I popped in for dinner. They let us sit at the counter and the sushi chefs got to chatting with the kids. We ordered 3 rolls and 3 orders of sashimi and they came out fast! My kids gobbled up so much food. And then the chefs treated them to green tea ice cream and a mochi ball. Going out to dinner with kids can be so exhausting, but it goes a long way when it's for food they love and the service is spectacular! PS -- it's BYOB. I'll have to remember that for next time.

One of my favorite local spots when I visit my sister! I've been here a million times and never disappoints.My kid nieces love it as well! They have booster seats and chopstick trainers for them. Servers are so kind and remember us. Makes the time there even better. Ramen - must try. They top with a spicy oil that's so good and just adds the perfect kick. You can order without. And wow the pork is melt in your mouth. They have specials like a tuna flight that's really good and refreshing if you like sashimi. Can't go wrong with the rolls either. Ocean roll is one of my favorites. You can sit at the sushi bar, main area, or they have outdoor seating.

Ramen and shrimp tempura roll were buy 1 get 1 free on UberEats so pretty good deal. However they both taste mediocre. Ramen's huge amount but very bland flavor, even after adding 2 bags of soysauce. Only thing I liked is the crispy crab roll. Good combination of texture of soft and crunchy. Flavor's good as well. Price is good after the deal but probably won't go back again

Hi this place has an incredible atmosphere and great food. BYOB, please keep in mind. Loved the service. They were very nice.

Great deals ! Staff was superb and attentive. Food was filling. The citrus salmon was 10/10!
