Kai's is okIt hits the spot on lazy evenings when I can't bare to walk all the way to Fan Tang.
MehHad sweet and sour chicken, rice, and an egg rollThe rice was pretty bland and greasy.
Strong points include friendly service, reasonable prices and ample lot parking in a neighborhood where parking is pretty slim.
It's nice quiet place to enjoy the food. Their clear soup base wong ton, sizzling rice, sweet and sour, etc) is very well seasoned. I had the Wong Ton soup which also had cabbage and bean sprouts in it, and that made even more delicious. I ordered the Moo Shu chicken and my guest had Mongolian beef, they came out Not Oily! Yes! A place that does not cook in gallons of oil per dish. The flavors were familiar but fresh tasting. And well seasoned and the right amount of sauce. Now the whole place it's self is more then simple, but the fact that I could see into the open kitchen and watch my food being cooked made up for that. Only downside is the parking situation. They do have their own parking in the back, but no lights. And it's right by the university so win or lose. I will definitely come back here again. Oh, they have free WiFi too.
This restaurant is a great spot for a meal. The food is always of high quality, the service is friendly and prompt, and the portion sizes are reasonable for the price. The establishment is clean, and they offer excellent lunch specials.
