Amazing food – every dish was absolutely delicious and memorable! Full of well balanced flavors and very refined presentation. Very high quality ingredients that you can especially tell from the sushi/seafood dishes.
Only negative was that the service was inattentive and lacking when we went. Maybe it was an off night and they didn’t have enough staff, but the restaurant wasn’t too crowded anyway.

I had a very disappointing experience ordering food from Kaiyo Restaurant. I paid $26 for a Lomo Saltado, and the portion was extremely small for the price, almost nonexistent. On top of that, the dish was overly salty and had far too much cumin, which completely overpowered the flavors.
I ordered three different dishes, and unfortunately, none of them were worth the money. To make matters worse, the order was without a bag and without utensils. The explanation given was that they “don’t have bags that fit three containers,” which is unacceptable.
What makes this even more frustrating is that the containers themselves were very fancy and expensive looking. I strongly believe the restaurant should invest less in packaging and more in the quality and quantity of the food. Overall, this was not a good value and not an experience I would recommend.

The restaurant downstairs was a pleasant surprise—delicious food, tasty drinks, and not crowded at all. Service was great and everything felt more relaxed compared to the rooftop. If we had known that food was also served upstairs, we probably would have skipped dining here and just stayed on the rooftop.

We visited Kaiyo to explore their new happy hour menu. The coconut pisco sour was delightful, featuring a balanced blend of egg white and coconut flavors. The ceviche mixto was fresh, although a side of plantain or ube chips would have complemented it well. The beef empanadas with aioli were tasty, and the salmon and avocado roll, along with the blue fin tuna and avocado roll, were decent. Overall, while everything was enjoyable, nothing particularly wowed us. The service was attentive, and the decor in emerald green with gold accents was charming. We look forward to returning to try the other items on their menu!

Cool concept, good ideas, mediocre execution. Good for corporate events or a casual dinner where you come for the vibes not the food.
Most of the dishes are okay though, more on the basic side, a lot of butter and miso but quality isn’t there.
Matcha fettuccine was good until I ate some clumped up uncooked noodles.
The rice in both sushi and poke tower was too hard and bland.
Brussels sprouts were bland and sauce too acidic.
Short rib was okay but meat too stringy. Liked the giant corn kernels though.
Hamachi Tiradito was good period!
Miso butter corn was miso butter corn.
Good to come if you don’t have foodie friends. Basic corporate dinners

Prefix menu for Valentine’s Day at Kaiyo Restaurant- Ground floor.
$300 plus out the door for a party of 2
Courses were so small, we left hungry and went to Taco Bell Cantina across the street after dinner.
The steak and the octopus were so over charred, the flavor was off.
The sushi & sashimi course was very tasty, but very small.
The atmosphere and service – very nice.
Ordering additional plates on their regular menu was not an option.
Plan on leaving hungry and a little disappointed

We went as a group of 6. The tables are long for large groups which does make serving and sitting inaccessible and difficult. The service was wonderful. Mathias made jokes and kept things light.
Drinks:
Drinks pictured are a an old fashion and pink rose. The old fashion lacked flavor and color. The rose was golden lacking the pink tint and flavor.
Food:
The food was okay but also lacked certain components. The pork chop needed a bit more than butter as seasoning. While still a bit moist, chimichurri is not the only topping needed.
rib eye (we got cooked medium well) was the best part of the meal with bold flavors. The bone was charred and tasted burnt.
Yucca fries- overcooked and bland
Overall:
Negative: lacking flavor, flat plates leading to butter all over the table and us, sides seperate, and drinks weren’t the best.
Positive: service.

Kaiyo is great for fusion take on Peruvian food! This new Kaiyo location has a completely revamped menu as compared to the Cow Hollow location (and more heavy on the „fusion”). There are a lot of fun, plant-forward dishes which we really enjoyed (lentil tacu tacu, matcha fettucine). The octopus and yuca fries are as great as always!
Dropping a star for a few reasons. I would skip the sushi and nigiri (the rice was warm and the fish quality doesn’t match the price point). The variety of ceviche and tiradito are definitely missing from the original Kaiyo menu. The prices are also 20-30% higher which is a bummer (with cocktails are priced at $20, it makes it a easy decision not to drink).

In town for a Giants game and stopped in for some food and drinks here. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. The bartender gave us some excellent recommendations for biking before the game to see some of the local attractions. All the food we ordered was excellent. The shishito peppers are a must. Can’t go wrong with the sushi rolls either. Highly recommend!!
