    Orange Pad Thai. Would not order again.
    Diana C.

    Though the service was very pleasant and friendly, the food was disappointing. I was taking two people to try Thai food for the first time and wanted to order some standard appetizer and noodle dishes. The Pad Thai had too much sauce and was orange in color. Any time Pad Thai is either hot or orange in a restaurant , it does not feel legit to me. In this case it was orange. I also ordered Drunken Noodles, which were not the typical wide rice noodle. They may have been egg noodles. I'm not sure. The Drunken Noodles also did not have the sweet heat I am used to from other restaurants. The Drunken Noodles were more salty than sweet. The Pad See Ew was the best dish of the three. It was actually comforting, had the right noodles, and waas flavorful. The spring rolls, crab Rangoon, and chicken satay were ok. The satay sauce was basically straight vinegar, and I had to explain that that's not normally how it tastes. Considering this restaurant is so highly rated, I was just expecting a better first time experience for the people I brought here.

    There was a short wait, but wow it was worth it! Friendly, fresh and delicious! The place is small, but when the food is so fantastic, it's ok.

    This is the BEST Thai restaurant around! The employees are all amazing. Service and food are always consistent.

    The chicken satay with the cucumber sauce.....will be on my mind for a while. Unbelievably good!!! Chicken pad Thai is sooooo great!!

    Ginger stir fry... ginger, onion, peppers, and wood ear mushrooms.

There isn't a lot of tables I think 6 one larger one in the center. If you don't get there before a rush you will have to wait for your food in front of the door and register best hold 4 people max. My biggest fault is the lack of space as they have great options and some Asian food to buy at the entrance too but once people are there you can't really see you buy. Decor wasn't something grand it was really walls, windows, table, food. That's all you really need, but I just wish there was more space. 2 out of 5 Service: The lady that took our orders and brought us our food was so kind answered any questions we had and offered great ideas for our kids. There was free water and food was brought to us. 5 out of 5 Food: This is where things get a little out of hand please note I cannot spell so best of luck! I got the Pad Thi with little spicy - it has quite a bit of nuts on it adding a beautiful crunch, bright bean sprouts, and just the right mix of spice. 5 out of 5 Tum um Soup I think - had nice flavor and is what was expected as all tum um soups. 4 out of 5 Ramen with sauce - kids enjoyed and ate what they could best way to explain dried ramen with flavor packed added after cooking. 3 out of 5 Pad won seen - (I am very sure I spelled that wrong or got it mixed up) I personally wish I got this over the pad thi; nice sauce sweet but salty. Fresh broccoli and shrimp. 5 out of 5 I didn't ask if they had a bathroom and I didn't see signs so I don't think it was an option to rate. Over all 3.7 out of 5! Going to round up to 4!

They have several choices on the 3 pages of menus so it made it sort of difficult to pick my poison, so to speak. They bill themselves as modern Japanese. Not sure what that meant, but basically they play modern upbeat music and have a modern interior. They do have lunch specials during the week, but I didn't see many that were appealing as they're a combination of Chinese, Thai and Japanese dishes. They also had poke bowls for lunch, but I'm not so sure about that. Their sushi rolls appeared to be made mostly with cream cheese, which I'm not a big fan of in rolls, so those were out as well. I ended up ordering off of the dinner menu. I chose the grilled lamb chops and a side of steamed rice. I totally missed the 3rd menu which featured the sushi and specialty rolls. The lamb chops were ok, they did have a slight grilled flavor, but also another weird flavor like they weren't that fresh. Maybe customers don't order lamb chops here, as much as maybe they would at a fancy American or Mediterranean restaurant. Either way, I still ate them because I was hungry. I prefer the frenched rib chops better than the loin chop which is served here....since its a much tastier cut. In addition, it's usually more expensive. Overall, I don't see myself ever returning here since I'm also not in the area that much. Service was adequate as our drinks were refilled a couple of times and the waiter made sure to stop by and check on us.

This was our second visit to Kita for a casual lunchtime escape, and once again, it did not disappoint. In fact, my stomach was doing a little happy dance by the time we left. From the thoughtfully crafted dishes to the stylish and welcoming ambiance, Kita continues to impress. We shared three rolls, each one showcasing a playful balance of texture and flavor. The "Black and Yellow Roll" was a vibrant blend of salmon, avocado, cucumber, cream cheese, mango, and eel--sweet, creamy, and rich, yet refreshingly light. The "Fry Me a River Roll" was a decadent indulgence, with a medley of chopped fish and salmon paired with cream cheese, all deep-fried in a crispy spring roll wrapper--delightfully crisp on the outside and savory on the inside. Our favorite, though, might have been the "Surf and Turf Roll", a bold combination of panko shrimp, bacon, scallop delight, avocado, and asparagus, topped with seared ribeye and finished with a truffle soy drizzle. Every bite was a flavor bomb--luxurious and satisfying. All in all, Kita remains a go-to for a delightful sushi fix, and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

I decided to sit at the bar in the main dining area. The waitress was friendly and helpful in recommending some of their more popular dishes. I decided to start things off with a little seaweed salad. I was surprised with the portions. I've never had this much salad. It was fresh and delish! For my main course, I ordered the Mongolian filet and a few specialty sushi rolls my waitress recommended. Two of the rolls were good, but one was way too salty to eat. The Mongolian filet wasn't what I expected but it was ok. I was expecting the more traditional Mongolian brown sauce, but this didn't compare to any Mongolian sauce I've ever had. I eat a lot of Asian cuisine and I just felt it didn't taste that Asian to me. Having said that, the filet bites were well cooked and tender. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. I'd order the Dragon Maki roll again, but I would probably try some different items the next time I visit.
