Great service and even better food. Can't wait to go back and try more. The Korean fried chicken was . Pho Dip was a special. Brisket was still a bit fatty for my liking but great flavor. Ramen was good too on a cold day. read more

What a surprise. We've heard mixed reviews but, everything was great. We'll definitely be back. Also, great 90's R & B jams playing. Be patient, they were a little understaffed. read more

Absolutely amazing place! The food is top notch! My wife is Hawaiian and while all of their dishes have many different Asian influences, a lot of the dishes she grew up eating in Hawaii and she felt that they were very authentic and tasted fantastic! Just like being home! Spam Musubi was next level!!! read more

Kai Bistro - Fried dumplings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Tried this place a week ago. It was Friday nite so it was very busy. We opted for take out since it was standing room only. We had to wait an hour. We Had the buns with Korean barbque, lettuce wraps and the taco special. It was all very very tasty! The meat on the buns was a little scarce but I think it was because it was so busy. All 3 dishes were reasonably priced. Going to try lunch time during the week next time. I am so glad to see food other than " southern tradition" coming to Chattanooga! read more

Swung by for a quick lunch. Menu was fun and I'll be back to try more. Ordered the Musubi, grilled chicken salad and Loco Moco. Everything was outstanding, including service. Fun new place. read more

Very good. We had the bao buns (kbbq style), scallion pancakes, bulgogi, and pork soup dumplings. Small cocktail menu and no beer but seems like they'd make ya something off the menu. Definitely will be back! read more

Went on a Sunday when they do Dim Sum. Great idea with Dim Sum cart coming around frequently. However, in 40 mins the cart only came once and only had dumplins. Ordered a Mimosa, and never arrived. Did order the soup dumplings which where delicious. Just needed the cart to come by. read more

A few weeks ago, I had my roommates leftovers and they were just so good so i had to come in. When we did Thaddeus greeted us with a smile and was really kind. I highly recommend the Kimchi fried rice, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. read more

They have a few things that are exceptionally good but they don't quite have their systems worked out well yet. Its a little pricey and their menu is inconsistent when I try to order dumplings they are different every time. Just spent $45 on a to go order because we wanted the PhoZillow, but after we picked up our order and got all the way home we realized they didn't have it. We called back and they're like oh yeah we don't have that tonight. It's the whole reason we went and they said they had it. $45 later the manager was like yeah sorry about that. Whatever. Attack of the Tatsu has opened and is great so far so we will just try that n time. read more

We went on a Wednesday evening for my husband's birthday, and sat at the bar. We shared several small plates, that were delicious. The Mini Bao Buns, however, were out of this world. Our bartender, Summer, was very attentive and congenial, and even pulled out a birthday candle to make a to do over my husband, which was sweet. Barnum brought our food and was also very kind. Overall, we loved everything we ate, the ambience, and service. Being treated kindly, along with good food and cocktails goes a long way in our books. We look forward to going back with our adult children. read more

I took my daughter here for lunch on her 22nd birthday and we were so impressed with the service of everything. The bartender was awesome and super helpful, recommending drinks, food, and fun conversations. They have a great patio but we sat inside as it was warm that day. The food was great. We had the mini dumplings and Korean Fried Chicken appetizers which were fantastic. The bartender brought out some additional sauces to try which was a nice touch. She recommended the Hibachi Burrito that we chose to split. Awesome, delicious and perfect size for us. It came up that it was her birthday and the owner brought out some fried chocolate things as a surprise and without request. So good! I can't say enough good things about the staff and owner of this place. They really made a great day just that much more special with their attention to detail and customer service. Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch! read more

Not sure where to start. Chattanooga, support this place, it's a gem! We had the bao buns with Vietnamese beef, which was spot on! Wish I had gotten some to go! Also had the glass noodles and bibimbap. Great atmosphere. Hostess, waitress, everything was excellent, but man they got some nice buns! read more

The food was amazing and my server Cam was spectacular. Super helpful and friendly, as was the whole staff I interacted with! 10/10!!!

We had to wait a few minutes, but honestly not long considering it is Christmas. We had the fried chicken, Korean street ramen, dumplings and musubi. The food was flavorful. The drinks were good. Our server was timely and attentive. The owner even came to talk to us. I'm grateful for delicious food on Christmas! Thank you! read more

Fantastic food. The ribs are fantastic. The ramen is superb. Atmosphere is fun and funky. Service is great.

Nice vibe. Good food. Staff is warm and inviting. Third time here and they are consistent in the quality of their service and food. Place is a little small but it adds to that neighborhood restaurant vibe. Nice place for a date night out. read more

Food was the worst. Probably the worst I've had. Soup dumplings did not taste like soup or dumplings. The boa buns were soggy. I could go on but I won't. I love supporting local business in chatt but this place did not do it. read more

I stumbled across their Facebook page, and the next day decided to check it out. It was absolutely amazing. From start to finish it was a great experience. They offer many unique cocktails that are so delicious. We started with a kimchi cocktail that was so well balanced and sweet and savory . The food is so flavorful, and I'm excited to try more off of their menu. The atmosphere is so fun, and the service is great. read more
