My Company for New Years Eve decided to have lunch catered from Kiyomi. I thought catered Chinese?…read moreOh man how good is this gonna be? I'm here to tell you it was some of the best Chinese food I've ever eaten! I sampled every item that was offered. The highlights were the handmade egg rolls, the chicken fingers were not the standard little short pieces but long. You could tell they were made from whole chicken breast. I also really enjoyed the orange chicken as well as the crab rangoon which was also homemade. All I know is everyone had heaping plates of food and enjoyed it very much. If I'm feeling like Chinese and in the area I'm going to Kiyomi. Great food!

I read these Yelp reviews before stopping. It's pretty clear…read morethat the people that said this is the best chinese food they've ever or part of the family that owns it or were paid to write these reviews. When we got to the location, we thought it was a mistake.It was a dingy takeout restaurant. I thought about not going in to get my order but decided the right thing to do was to give them a chance. Do not give them a chance unless you want to eat mystery meat. We ordered a basic chicken dish and the chicken was not chicken. Unless it was the poorest quality of chicken. I'm writing this review to warn others. The other recent reviews are not accurate. Yelp needs to review the profiles to make sure these true Yelp reviews. The vegetables and the rice were fresh and that was about it. Buyer beware. The woman at the counter was very nice but I hope that I don't get sick from the couple bites I took.

The hot and spicy ramen was true to its name and definitely burned as it went down my throat, both temperature and spice. I also had the Shrimp killer roll, which was fine, not the star. I think the ramen was definitely the best, and the kani salad not too far under. My fiancé also got the boston roll, which he enjoyed but couldn't finish because the ramen was super filling. Our server was super great and very attentive. We would definitely come back!

They have a pretty great sized menu, and the ambiance of the restaurant is really modern and…read morepretty. I had to walk through the restaurant, however, to pick up my order at their side entrance. Ginger dressing always makes a salad taste great, so I was pleased with that. And it tastes like pretty typical packaged miso soup- definitely not hand made. The gyoza... I probably wouldn't do again. Being raised by my Japanese grandmother, these just don't taste right. Too much unusual seasoning. They had a springy taste to them, so weren't bad but not my taste. Regarding the sushi dinner, the maki rolls were delicious, and I could have eaten a whole plate of them! The nigiri (fish on rice) didn't wow me. Could have been because I was a little late getting my order. I would probably try eating here again, but if I could sit down and eat so that I could eat my food fresh from the kitchen.

The saving grace of this location is the food is good. Its by no means the best sushi you will…read morefind, but I have had far worse so this is decent on the basic sashimi and negeri staples. Service is where this place falls off the rails. We sat at the sushi bar so at least the chefs were busy and very friendly. But the other wait staff was absolutely useless. Sitting down at 1:00pm when the place was not busy, it took multiple escalations from what I can assume was the manager to get us a waiter to come over. add another 10 minute wait for them to come back and then actually take an order a lunch that could have been banged out in 20 minutes we spent almost an hour with most of the time waiting. The ambiance was fine. considering it is located in the mall, you could not really tell. as mentioned it wasn't busy at the time so can't comment to how bad noise levels could get, but maybe due to service and some of the other comments, that's why this place isn't busy?

Take note of date stamps on the photos here in Yelp. The sushi, sashimi, omakase from 4 yrs ago looks GOOD. (I'm assuming that's where the high rating came from.) That is not what is being served currently at BarKaya.] If your neighborhood dive bar (I LOVE a neighborhood dive bar!! Bar. ) with amazing vibes, got a super cool, gorgeous resin bar and really nice upholstered furniture with beautiful colors and big, fabulous, flat screen TVs showing amazing Japanese food shows and served the worst sushi you have ever had. That's BarKaya. No. Really. I kinda wanted to award a third star for general vibe and the fact that I met and talked to some super cool people during my visit. Call it "star inflation." But! BarKaya is, after all, putting itself forth as a restaurant and at restaurants we eat food and BarKaya deserves zero stars for food. I'm pretty sure the sushi here was the worst sushi I have ever eaten in my life. (And I've eaten supermarket sushi in at least 4 states...including VERMONT!! My Friends ...supermarket sushi is the absolute bottom of the Sushi Barrel...so keep that in mind as you read this review.). As in I am worried about having put fish that was clearly dyed/colored/God only knows what, into my body. As in when I ate the first piece of California Roll (CALIFORNIA ROLL!!) I got a whiff of something having gone "off".... As in the "torched fatty tuna belly" was completely unrecognizable as fish (please see attached photos...Yikes!). Y'all. When they put my pieces of sushi in front of me I had to make the conscious decision to eat that mess. As in I took one for the team because I was going to write a review, so I figured I needed to eat it and I also thought I probably wouldn't die (although I did think there was a strong possibility I would be sick after...and yes, this stuff did not "agree with me"...). These people need to be STOPPED from serving "sushi." It is an actual crime (and a travesty). Just. Terrible. On every level. Including the rice, which was not actually sushi rice (FYI: sushi rice is not just the rice, it is the process). I could go on. But should I? They've got this entire, beautiful bar set up. Including a glass topped sushi bar. Lovely. My suggestion is to stop serving any sort of fish. Immediately. Or...stick solely to deep fried seafood for your so-called "sushi." Tempura it all and then turn it into sushi. But please, for the love of all that is holy: NO MORE RAW FISH. They also make Ramen. I did not have Ramen. Perhaps the Ramen is edible. I have my doubts. But! Should I return (for vibes and chit chat - never underestimate those things!!) I will be trying Ramen. What I had: Cucumber Salad. Which was the best thing I ate. And, since I ate it first, it led to me to have falsely inflated expectations. It was fine. Neither flavorful nor spicy. Seaweed Salad. Just a big bowl of premade/bought Seaweed Salad. You too can buy it at the grocery store. Shrug. Miso Soup. Very large bowl. Which is nice. Not good Miso. They're not using a base (like Dashi or fish stock) and they're using too much Miso (how do I know? I've made Miso myself and done the same darn thing at home...many times). An assortment of terrible, awful, barely edible pieces of sushi: Ikura, Tobiko, Salmon Belly, Torched Fatty Tuna (that looked exactly like some sort of really inexpensive cut of beef that was then overcooked). A California Roll. Because who screws up a California Roll?? BarKaya. That's who... And an Unagi Roll. Because, again, it is nearly impossible to mess up Eel. BarKaya proves it's not entirely impossible. Because even the Eel Sauce was not good. I mean you can just BUY Eel Sauce and get some delicious stuff. These people need to be stopped. I drank their one Sake. It was fine. It probably saved my life. Always drink plenty of alcohol when you are also eating questionable/sketchy things that could potentially kill you. My theory is the alcohol will fight the toxins!! Mr Business Manager who replied below in a particularly unhinged fashion (he appears to have retracted the vast majority of his tirade - just as well, it was borderline "restraining order" stuff. YIKES!): Sir. Please take a few moments to glance at the other sushi spots I have reviewed. I know whereof I speak. Pro Tip: RESIST the urge to attack reviews online. It's a bad look. As is the sushi your establishment serves. I spent well over $100 at BarKaya. Because I tried as many things possible before drawing any conclusions Try Harder. Do. Better. You've set the bar incredibly low. Shouldn't be difficult...

Not the best, but not the worst…read more This review is for a Grubhub order. I did not experience the staff, or the location. The sushi was reasonably fresh. Tho the rolls were not really up to snuff. (Our veggie roll had an odd aftertaste.) The Soup was good, and I very much enjoyed the Gen Tso's chicken. If you're looking for good nigiri, or an excellent Gen Tso's, this place hits that mark. For rolls I'd suggest a different spot. Overall it's a good spot. Even tho we were disappointed in the rolls.
