"The glowing bar and living wall made of moss make Kaiyo one of the cooler spaces in the neighborhood. It’s a good spot to come on a third date or for a group dinner where a meal is all the entertainment you’ll need for the night, even with so many bars just a few steps away. The menu is a mix of Peruvian and Japanese, and everything here is great - from the raw scallops in a spicy leche de tigre that we would drink on its own, to stone pots full of saffron rice and a lobster dish that’s the love-child of paella and risotto." - taylor abrams, will kamensky
