Reviews for Kai Sushi Shabu-Shabu in Santa Barbara, CA
The food was great however they made us wait for way too long. There were two servers, one was excellent, the other was awful.... No one greeted to us when we came in. We waited for about 10-15 mins before we got seated and another 40 mins for my food tocome. To be fair the food tasted wonderful. Just wish they could have better service. Read more
I really wanted to like this place but not only was the service terrible we ordered large beef shabu only to have our plate of... meat given to the people next to us once it had been sitting out for 15 minutes they realized the mistake they then they triedto play it off and pretend to take it to the back and bring us “fresh meat” when we watched them literally do nothing andcome back to us and try and give us the meat when we told the server we were uncomfortable with the improper food safetyhandling and wanted new meat he said it was fresh and not the same one and we literally said we watched you the whole time tomake sure he couldn’t even play it off and legit just walked away! After that we closed out our tab and left. Read more
Kai Sushi was such a great outdoor dining experience on State Street today. The sushi ???? was very fresh, the tempura crispy... and warm, and the service was swift and polite. Andrew was our server and he was great. The food was very reasonably priced. Thelunch special included a delicious beef/noodle soup, salad, fresh sushi, rice and beef or chicken for $12. Hard to find suchgreat service, fresh great tasting food and reasonable prices. Everone enjoyed their meal. Read more

Great service and delicious sushi!
Service is great, food is decent. A bit pricy but we are in a touristy area so not a surprise. Great happy hours special.
I ordered the beef shabu shabu and ramen ????. BTY, for the shabu shabu, they only offer traditional Japanese shabu( Hot water... with seaweed not soup one). Read more
