Could they go cheaper and make more revenue, sure. Many restaurants do. But they use fresh ingredients and it shows. I'm a sucker for their Kahlua Pork and Cabbage. The macaroni salad is so perfectly seasoned that you expect to hear the North Shore breaking in the background. Great food, atmosphere and a heavy dose of the Aloha spirit.

I had ordered and paid before I was told that it was going to be a half hour wait. We were the only customers there, but apparently they had phoned-in orders backed up. I was with a friend, and my food was ready way before his was. I had the pork char siu plate. I actually really like plain rice, but this rice tasted like nothing, and the mac salad was literally the blandest mac salad I've ever had in my life. The reason I gave it three stars despite all this is that the pork itself was just marvelous. It was moist and flavorful with the perfect amount of char. The rice and mac salad come with it, but if I ever go again, I'll just tell them to keep those and just give me the pork.

Then I happened to be channel surfing and caught Cafe Kai featured on KING5 Evening on 1/13/26. The Homie and I made sure to stop by after driving around from I-5 South/Hwy 16 and across the Manette Bridge on 1/15/26 to Cafe Kai's new, bigger location. No more drive through window and tiny retail spot. Bremerton's Manette neighborhood has become a destination detour with Saboteur Bakery, Vim & Vigor, and now Cafe Kai! Their new location is located at the corner of 11th and Perry with adjacent street parking. Upon entering, bright interior and sleek, streamlined design. Same welcoming vibe. That day we've been having a progressive eating mindset on our drive from Shoreline, Seattle, Tukwila, and now Bremerton. We had better restraint and bought only two Teriyaki Spam and one Hawaiian Hot Dog musubis, plus a bag of Li Hing gummies. Their menu features several musubis and refreshing beverages. I also enjoyed my brief convo with one of the owners, Jamie Cancel. There's something really welcoming when meeting indie business owners whether from Oahu, Kauai, Maui, the Big Island or on the mainland. It's that genuine sense of ohana or family I've consistently experienced. Musubis were nicely wrapped and piping hot. That day it was sunny and breezy leaving Cafe Kai with the goods. Now if it had been a bit warmer, with sand & surf nearby, wearing Tshirt, shorts, and slippahs with two fisted musubis from Foodland or Pukalani Superette, sigh as I digress in a brief daydream. Delicious ono grindz! Congratulations on the new location and celebrating their ten year milestone this coming summer! Mahalo nui loa!

If you're wanting local food... specifically meat jun you've found it!…read more My friends got the mochiko chicken and i got the meat jun. Meat jun in Hawaii is different than Korean meat jun and they made it great here. If i was in the area or passing, I'd definitely stop by. They marinated the meat well enough if h that i didn't need to dip it in the sauce. The mochiko chicken though was very salty for me... i am quite sensitive to salt but even my friend said it was salty and they usually like salty things. It is located in the gas station store at the back corner. Service was quick and friendly. They have some local stickers and decorations up which is fun to look at as you

We ordered the geso (fried squid legs), grilled squid, ahi tataki (seared ahi special), katsu don, shishito peppers, yakitori combo, variety meat combo, udon, and Kalbi. Everything was cooked perfectly and was so tasty! My mom is still raving about the katsu don! I can honestly say this is the best and most authentic Japanese restaurant in Kitsap County. Thank you Oishi Kitchen for being soooo oishi!! We will be back soon!

And it's our favorite meal! No other ramen in the area or shishito compare or even come close! The ramen has so much flavor and is so rich and delicious! Great service as well and a good sake menu - if you like dry, get the Bunzaemon. Highly recommend this hole in the wall!!!

What I enjoyed before getting to the food was the way this adorable shop was set up. My daughter was immediately drawn to the swinging egg chairs. The place was clean and very spacious. I had a basic salad bowl with spicy tuna and salmon with cucumbers, edamame, crab, and tobiko. My daughter had a rice bowl with tuna and crab for dayyysss in hers. We enjoyed the fresh ingredients and portions. I was so busy that I neglected to take a photo of our bowls but I'm dropping a photo of my kiddo in the egg chair while we played chess. When I go back, I'll drop food photos. I'll also have to give the musubi a try next time cause we love musubi!
