    I was really disappointed with my experience at Kaiza last night. This was my second time going to Kaiza, and I was really excited because I thoroughly enjoyed the food the first time I went there. However the same could not be said for last night. The service was extremely slow, the food came out in bits and pieces and it was nowhere near as good as my friends and I were expecting! Based on last night's experience, I won't be returning.

    Excellent food - very creative and unusual flavours. Scallops and prawns were outstanding dishes. Everything we ordered was great. Very nice wine. The guys were lovely - a bit stretched at times as the restaurant was very busy but they were very friendly and helpful. A great night. We will go again.

    Overall the food was very unique and delicious! I would say this place is a hidden gem and I would definitely recommend people to try this place for sure. The unique combination with the Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine was spot on. We ordered pork belly & duck for mains, salmon tartare with yuzu dressing. We 100% recommend to order the pork belly as their meat is amazing. We weren't particularly a fan of the sauce that came with this dish but the duck came with this sauce as well and marinated which was a bit meh. But overall, we would love to go back there and try other dishes on their menu!
