Kai Ola Sushi

KAMPAI!

THE VERDICTGO — STRONG RECOMMENDATION.
01
THE EXPERIENCE

KAMPAI! This sushi joint is the realio dealio. Chris & Chris introduced me to this joint a few weeks back and I was BLOWN AWAY by the portions. The freshness was Off The Charts, the staff was Super Nice, and while the crafty selection is on the slight side, the fish factor makes up for it. Tucked into a tiny space (like 24 seats?), it's at the corner of Leucadia and NCH-101. I took Tammy here recently and she was blown away by the portions. This, after making another spot down the street our go-to place for the past year. Yes, we'll spend our hard-earned pennies in both places; after all, WE LOVE TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES! Do yourself a favor, and the next time you want fresh sushi, go say hi to Lane & Dave!
