Food: Tough portions, tasty food

Kaiju's Japanese Sashimi invokes a frenzy of taste buds, not just for its freshness but also for the demonstrative presentation. Yet, the sautéed Portabello Mushroom & Asparagus and albacore carpaccio show why it's described as culinary nirvana. But, since when does exquisite artistry equate to miniscule serving size?

  • Okay Taste

  • Bad Variety

    Menu items were tasteless, boring and not as expected from reviews.

Vibe: Romantic haven, dodgy acoustics

Kaiju's ambiance can be classed as 'date night paradise', with cozy lighting and enchanting decor setting the tone for lovebirds. Its social media presence translates to a flashy hype. Alas, entertainment fails courtesy of a persistent symphony of, let's call it 'conversation blocking' music.

  • Great Ambiance

    Ambience beautifully enhances dining with cozy lighting and chic decor.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Music too loud and obnoxious, disrupting conversation and dining experience.

Perks: Flexible menu, firm chairs

Kaiju has tapped into the vegan and vegetarian market, showing adaptability in a once rigid culinary world. They suitably cater to the small ones too. Unfortunately, the 'reservations may not reserve anything' policy, coupled with uncomfortable outdoor seating, pose a considerable challenge.

  • Great For Groups

    Private areas and attentive service enhance large group dining experiences.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed experiences with service varying from slow and rude to fast and friendly.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking can be difficult, expensive or limited, causing customer frustration.
