He forgot my beverage...being the only person who actually ordered a non-alcoholic beverage at our table I kinda let it slide, but his indifference didn't change until our friends who are locals let the manager know. We tried our best to be as respectful as possible even though our server acted like he didn't want to do his job. View all feedback. What User likes about Kai Ola Sushi:
