Food was spectacular! Everything was very fresh. Presentation was very cool. Some of the best chicken teriyaki I’ve ever had. Chicken had a nice crust, but not overcooked. Nice vibe. Would highly recommend!

Their specials are so good! Love their curry, miso soup, tempura, karaage, sushi and udon. Have been here 10+ times and have always had a great meal.

Went to Japantown in San Jose and a friend of mine recommended this restaurant. We waited about 15 minutes for a table. The service was fast and the male server was very polite and always had a smile in his face. All the dishes we ordered was really tasty and fresh except for the beef dish. We were expecting it to be tender and juicy but it was chewy and a little bland.

Dinnertime seemed to be quite busy—service was just so dreadfully slow. It took quite a while for us to receive our food.
The food overall felt like a very average homestyle Japanese meal. Both the kaisendon and teriyaki were decent.

We had a solid time at Kaita, pretty good overall. The service was on point: we got seated fast, had enough time to figure out our order, and the food showed up quick. Could’ve used a smile or two, though—they were polite but not exactly warm and fuzzy. They’ve got a regular menu plus a whiteboard with specials, which is cool.
We went for the pan-cooked miso cod special and the sushi-sashimi combo. Pair those with the soup and salad, and you’ve got a decent-sized meal. The salad dressing was tasty, maybe a little sweet for my liking. The miso soup? Super good, no notes there.
The sushi and sashimi were a win for me. The fish was fresh—you could really taste it—and the piece selection were nice. Seems like they care more about quality than piling your plate high, which I’m all for. The ginger stood out big time—so smooth and sweet, not that harsh stuff you get some places. The rice, though? Kinda dry. I’m guessing it was just an off batch, no biggie.
The miso black cod was solid too. Funny thing—it didn’t actually have miso, but some other soup I’d never tried before. Still delicious, though! That dish came with a little sashimi on the side, which was a nice bonus.

The gyoza and salad dressing was the best item I had. The gyoza was crispy and quite enjoyable.
The sushi didn’t seem fresh and rice was not very sticky. The udon soup was okay.

I went to this place once because my Japanese friend said it seemed like home food and it really did not disappoint. Went again and brought my whole family and each meal was just excellent. I got the negitoro don (special menu, on white board when entering) and it was some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten. Would 100% hands down come again and again.

Hi, I’m kaita’s biggest fan, think I’ve been there more than 10 times since my boyfriend first introduced it to me. It is very authentic, (i had lots of exposures to Japanese food growing up), and it feels like a good home meal mom cooks for you. We usually get two special menus (they write daily special menu on the whiteboard, take a look!) and order side like sashimi, tempura, uni (if they have), grilled fish. Their regular menu has various options to enjoy but highly recommend trying special menus. In my photos, I ordered pork tofu hotpot that comes with sashimi, and my partner ordered rib/karaage. Both are so yummy!

This small restaurant is good for sushi only . Ordered Katsu don is way too salty, miso soup also is very salty!
かいせん Don is great , rice is bit too hard, but fish is so fresh !

I live in Japan Town for a few years and Kaita is perhaps one of the best Japanese izakaya type restaurants here in Japan Town. They have great specials – but I would suggest go with the flow and try their Fish dishes. One improvement they could make is their table registration system – the restaurant was more than half empty and I had to wait over 15min for a table for 2 (also 4 Stars because some of the Beef / Pork dishes I had were just average)
