Lots to love, but a bit inconsistent.
I've had Kai Kai several times -- once before they had a physical location while at a food festival and several times at their Mills Market location.
Overall, I think Kai Kai has room for improvement, but I liked several of their dishes!
First off, their homemade rice noodles are amazing. When you're able to get them, the texture is perfect, chewy, and has the perfect bite. However, it's a labor-intensive dish, so they tend to run out quickly and I'm not able to get my fix every time. There was one time where the Beef Chow Fun was a little salty, but it was just that one time.
I also really enjoyed their whole Soy Sauce Chicken and their Singapore Rice Noodles! The value of the Soy Sauce Chicken can't be beat! It's huge and cooked perfectly every time.
The only thing that I have mixed feelings about with Kai Kai is their roast duck. I LOVE roast duck, but I don't think I'd get it here. It's a staple in Cantonese-style cuisine, but I find that their ducks are why too boney and the skin isn't as crispy as I'd like. I think I'd prefer to get a duck at Tasty Wok across the street.
Service is efficient and friendly! They're always super nice and give us extra chili oil when we ask. It does take a little while for food to come out, but they make the dim sum and noodle dishes fresh! We usually wait for about 10-15 minutes for our food -- this isn't the place to go if you're looking for food that's ready to go under a warmer.
Overall, I'd recommend them as a chill lunch or hangout spot, especially if you're checking out some of the other places nearby too.
