Service was great! Food came out incredibly fast as well. I was stoked to see they have vegan and vegetarian options and they have a lot more compared to other places. I got the naughty or nice roll. My boyfriend got the beacons roll and said it’s the best roll he’s ever had and all the fish was super fresh! Would definitely recommend.

Everything was wonderful. We walked in and my daughter was waiting for us. Service was great. Right away we were able to order our drinks. We were ready to order our food when she came to deliver our drink order. Our food order came right away. She also came often to ask if things were OK, if we needed anything else, she was very attentive.

Only have great things to say about this place! We came in right as they opened and everything was super fresh! Rolls were delicious!! Even a basic spicy tuna roll was super fresh. Highly recommend the special Hawaiian roll. The kook roll was great too.

Kai Ola had some of the best sushi I’ve eaten in a while and had friendly sushi chefs. Our server was also able to provide a lot of detail on their special sake selection, such as where it comes from and the old methods still being used to distill it.
