We celebrated Landon's birthday at Kona Kai this past Wednesday. According to our waiter it was a "soft opening" so he warned that the food might be slow in coming out. He was right. We were there for 2 hours, but the food was ono so we didn't mind. Oh, except Landon said that they over-shiso'd too many things. Overall, he gave a rating of 4 out of 5. Kona Kai Dynamite ($10.00). The fish in this dish was a bit too fishy for me.
Salmon Skin Salad ($9.00). Dressing was good.
Assorted Tempura ($14.50). I loved the green tea salt.
Baby Calamari ($7.99). Just like at Sasabune.
Miso Salmon Scallop Roll ($17.00)
Kinmedai ($17.00)
Langoustine ($10.00)
Unagi ($6.00)
California Roll ($??). Comped because of our long wait.
Gunkai Trio ($15.00). Lan said that the uni was very good . . . no bitter aftertaste. Ikura was very fresh.
Ootoro ($18.00). Lan said that it had a weird texture at first bite and then softened up after.
Salmon ($7.00)
Spicy Tuna Roll ($8.00). Comped because they thought we ordered this, but we didn't.
Hirame ($8.00). Landon's Engawa order looked exactly like this, so we suspect that he didn't really get the Engawa.
Hamachi ($8.00). Looked more like hamachi when Wendell flipped over the fish.
Jalna, your family sure eats well! Will you adopt me? ;) Went back to Costco today to get more Seaweed Crunch snacks you posted about. So good. More food posts, please. Caroline in San Francisco
did you starve that night? Now i'm wondering if it's the same owner. The crab stuffed squid is one of sasabune's signature dishes, the chef used to work at Sasabune before opening up Kona Kai. The sushi looked ono!!
