    What a find Kai was! We split the snapper filet and with seafood soup (Excellente!), we're full. Best snapper filet ever. 2 sizable, 3/4" thick lightly fried were moist and perfectly seasoned without sauce on the side. Mojitos were perfect. Kikos (sp?) was just great and fun. Our open-air table looking west and at the breaking surf beyond the palms was magnificent. Wish we could give more STARs. Betty/Bill Annapolis MD

    This is a fantastic restaurant right on the beach in beautiful Puerto Rico. Most of us got the lobster which was so wonderful and tasty, it seems like it was caught that day! I highly recommend this place!

    Steak quesadilla, nachos

    Kai is situated right on Playa Jobos with ample seating in the bar and on the deck, facing the beach & a volleyball court. The server was very friendly, and the food came in huge portions. We wished we'd shared the steak quesadilla (which came with nachos on the side) instead of going for two whole plates, but we left stuffed. Definitely bring the whole crew here for drinks and split a couple dishes!

    Wow! Really great seaside restaurant. The chicken stuffed with steak was amazing, The snapper wonderful. Pina Coladas & Mojitos were right on point. Stop by for a good feast.

    What a great restaurant to finish our vacation! Awesome ocean view. We enjoyed all of our meals. My dad had a side of potatoes and peppers with his meal and they were seasoned amazing. It was so dang good. I splurged and ordered the lobster. It was to die for! Nothing like a fresh lobster on the beach. I would come back here!

    This is a nice restaurant on the beach. The service was god and everyone spoke English. We ordered a variety of food. Octopus Mofongo, shrimp Mofongo! Mampostila rice, hamburger and fries and pork tenderloins and rice. We also ordered tropical mixed drinks. I thought everything tasted good and was seasoned well.

    The view from our table!!!

    If you intend to go to Jobo beach and expect to spend the whole day you absolutely have to have lunch at this wonderful restaurant bar. The Mofongo with shrimp and red snapper was Out of this World. My partner had the salsa and chips a great appetizer. Service was wonderful and how can you beat the beautiful blue ocean that you look at while you're having lunch? A great spot.

    Kai was great time. The food, view of the beach and drinks were great. The server was very attentive. We will be back.

    Kai changed their location since I've last been here. We ordered the surtido. My husband got a great deal on the beers! 5 for $10 Coronas! You'd never find that! It's a nice ambiance by the ocean with a view. The service was fine, no complaints.

    Mango margarita

    Kai is the "old trusty" that's not great, but is there when you need it and won't let you down. Parking is pretty easy with the lot out front, but there's also street parking at peak hours. Views are great too! The margaritas were very large in size, but did not go down easy and weren't enjoyable. The aftertaste of the tequila was off and the drink just had an overly sugar taste. The mixed nachos were pretty solid, but weren't superb. The salmon and mahi mahi filets were fine, but again - nothing to write home about.

    Octopus salad app with tostones , and fried shrimp.

    Fantastic food!! This place marks all the boxes , atmosphere, food , and drinks. My drink was huge and tasted great! Steak was so flavorful, and portions were perfect. It's great quality PR food elevated but did not forget the classic flavors. If ur a tourist looking for traditional pr food with great views. THIS PLACE IS IT !

    Chicken nachos were good. Basically on the beach. This is not a formal place but awesome if you're in the area.

    Fuimos con expectativas altas por su nominación a los Lazos de Oro, pero la experiencia no está ni…read morecerca de ese nivel. El ambiente, en general, es agradable: buena iluminación, sin ruido excesivo y el concepto es completamente outdoors. Personalmente, no me molesta --de hecho, me gusta--, pero es importante saber que no hay opción interior. Dicho esto, el ambience no es solo estética: las sillas son extremadamente incómodas, al punto de afectar seriamente la experiencia. Salir de una cena con dolor no debería ser parte del concepto. El servicio fue pobre: apresurado, desinteresado y sin atención real. La mesera no daba espacio ni para hacer preguntas y nunca regresó a verificar la mesa. La comida fue decepcionante. El T-bone llegó sobrecocido, fino y sin sabor. Al reclamarlo, la respuesta fue literalmente: "el chef dice que eso está medium rare". Sin apertura, sin solución, sin intención de manejar la situación correctamente. El arroz del pork belly estaba seco y duro. Nada memorable, especialmente considerando el precio. El único highlight fue el ceviche, bien logrado. Fuera de eso, una experiencia que no justifica ni el costo, ni la reputación, ni la nominación.

The dishes are a mix of traditional Puerto Rican flavors and new bold ideas. For example, in November, I had pernil gnocchi -- it wasn't my favorite dish I've had there. But, it had flavor. The gnocchi were green plantain-based and had an unusual flavor. The service is faster paced than many Puerto Rican beach restaurants. They are friendly and very welcoming.
