Quite a good place for AYCE, but take note that this is a restaurant selling Asian fusion. While the fish is fresh and tasty, don't expect a variety of fancy sashimi - instead, you'll find aburi (torched) sushi and pressed sushi.
When we went, Kaka was doing their featured special weekend menu. Each of us got to choose a dish we wanted. My dad and I got the monkfish liver, my mom ordered the Hokkaido scallop nigiri, and my sister got the salmon tartare with salmon roe. I was not a fan of the liver... It lacked all taste and was very much like spongey canned tuna. My sister thoroughly enjoyed her order, though she did complain that there was a bit too much rice.
My family has quite a small appetite, so we weren't really able to order the same scale of spread as everyone else. That said, we did find some noteworthy items:
- Lamb skewers (small orders, but very fragrant of cumin)
- Grilled shrimp skewers (a little oily, but the shrimp is super crispy, to the point where you can eat the shell!)
- Pressed salmon sushi (there smoked fish flavour is a little overwhelming, but the flavours are delicious!)
- Salmon belly (can't go wrong with this delicious piece of fatty goodness)
- Vanilla crème brulee (tastes better than the green tea one... Maybe that's why the portions are smaller)
- Mango lychee slush (so amazingly addicting!)
Some disappointments were:
- Grilled squid (the sauce added on top was too sweet and overpowered the flavour)
- Hand rolls (the rice to fish ratio was way overboard; there was too much rice)
- Green tea crème brulee (interesting idea, but didn't quite deliver)
Overall, the servers were quite good with ensuring all orders were served. That said, we found them to be quite understaffed - they had to run around frantically. Some orders were missed (e.g., my salmon avocado hand roll, which was a massive portion when it arrived - had a huge chunk of rice with two big slices of avocado), but it was fine for the most part. Still found the place slightly pricey, but totally worth it for my Mom's birthday dinner!
