Kaikaya by the Sea

The food was fire and the staff was amazing! We had the sashimi, tofu, crab, and grilled fish and it was all delicious but the sashimi and tofu were our favorites. We cannot praise the staff enough they were wonderful and took great care of our celiac/gluten free needs + the decor was super fun.

We were exploring the area around our hotel and stopped at this restaurant. A very friendly gentleman came out of the restaurant and handed an English menu to us. We went back after meeting a friend. The same gentleman greeted us and seemed very pleased that we came back. We ordered from the friends and family portion of the menu. Even though we had three in our party, we only ordered a two person portion. For $7500 per person, the portions were huge and the three of us had a hard time finishing it. It was a five course meal and it was absolutely delicious! The sashimi was very fresh and the slices were generously thick. We also ordered a salad (880 I think) and again , it was fresh and was sufficient for three adults. We are in Tokyo for three weeks and will absolutely visit this restaurant again. UPDATE: Went back there tonight for a second time. We ordered the sashimi bowl again, assorted mushrooms on a hot plate, and waygu beef on a hot plate. Tip: order a bowl of rice to soak up the gravy from the beef, PERFECT! The same gentleman served us again and he remembered us which is a nice feeling in a big city. Food was fabulous again tonight! Highly recommended!

Everything: great! We ate here a few nights ago for my mom’s birthday. The food was so so good, we ordered a three person set. Love the music that was playing, Jack Johnson, Carole King and the like. The vibes were immaculate.👌 The owner was friendly and welcoming, as well as the servers! Many laughs and smiles were shared. This place is quite welcome to foreigners, I think. Thank you so much, guys!

I felt quite sad watching one of the Japanese staff members shout at a foreign staff member several times in front of customers. Most of the customers around were foreigners, so we couldn’t understand what was being said, but it was obvious he was angry. It made things a bit uncomfortable, and it definitely took away from the enjoyment of what was otherwise delicious food. I understand it gets busy, but it might be better to handle things more quietly out of sight, like in the kitchen. That said, the food was still really tasty! The entertainment aspect was fun, and I enjoyed it overall. I also really like the atmosphere of the restaurant.

This I think is going to be my new favourite restaurant in Tokyo. Staff is very gentle. Makes you feel special and welcome. Ambience is groove and busy. Walls are full of pics of customers and vips with their message, very fun. Food is amazing: all fish based well prepared and with a special attention to presentation. Better booking since can get very very busy. You meet local people and also visitors here. Restroom are clean, nice and comfy. This place is simply amazing! Can’t wait to get back there.
