Yelper Kelli L., who reviewed Kai Asian Bistro on October 20, wrote, "They have an upscale dinner area, a patio area that is absolutely beautiful (reminds me of some of the rooftop spots in LA or NY) and a lounge/bar area that stays open until 2 and is a great going out spot during the weekend."
Shannah H. wrote, "The space is beautiful. Enter at ground level and head up a dramatic staircase to the restaurant. To your right is the lounge and restaurant. To your left is the bar and open air (but climate controlled) patio. Dead ahead is the open cooking area sushi bar and robata grill. Food is high-end, both on price and on the taste/quality you'd expect for the price."
