This delicious sushi spot is one of the best in the marina.
Great mood lighting and ambiance with a long list of rolls for the sushi lover and those just beginning to find a love for fish.
A Word to the Wise: The rolls are almost embarrassingly large but are so irresistible you'll get over how silly you look trying to stuff the whole thing in your mouth quickly.
Great Service and Great Eats.
surprisingly, this place isn't all that bad, even though i swear and live by one thing ... never ever eating a place owned by koreans, which has any japanese twist to it but one can never be fooled where you can secretly get kimchi for free if youre korean. hahha.
prices are fairly high, note: we are in MDR. but they had quite an extensive list of rolls ...
THIS IS NOT, HOWEVER, the place to get your korean fix... take it from me, im korean,dammit, i know the real deal.
Oohh Kaya, you sure fooled me with your strip mall location.
Don't get the Marilyn Mon- ROLL. Something like beet raddish wrapped with mango and pineapple and some other stuff that sounds good, but doesn't TASTE good.
All the other rolls are up to par, definitely mouth watering when you read it. And explosive when you taste it. Eh Eh....
OH!!! I almost forgot the best part. If you aren't a sake snob and know your sake then trust me, TRY THIS SAKE...the Otokoyama Junmai...so smooth you'll never guess you're drinking sake!! Careful, sneaks up on ya!!
Kaya's vegetable roll is by far the best in the west. Friendly staff and quick service, but if you're wanting to dine during busy dinner hours, anticipate a 45 minute wait.
All I can say is, I love it. I've been going to this place for years, and where it used to be a nice local spot, it's now increasingly difficult to just run in for a quick dinner. The wait is usually so crazy that it makes me go somewhere else when I'm not in the mood to wait around forever to eat dinner - even during the week! I didn't even want to write a review because if anyone else finds out about this place, it'll be that much more difficult for me to get my Jay's roll #1 with soy paper...mmmm...so good.
So, even though I don't want you to go there, I have to give it 5 stars.
All I can say is that I have never been to such a stuck-up sushi bar in my life. It started out good when my friend and I walked into the beautifully decorated restaurant with the "water walls" and calm, low lighting.
We first sat at a table but moved to the sushi bar to see the Laker's game. We were the only ones at the bar on a early Tuesday evening.
Things got weird when after sitting down, as the sushi bar guy was
very cold and seemed annoyed with us, telling us to move one seat over after we sat down. When I asked what was special tonight, he rattled off the usual offerings very quickly. I jokingly said I'll take one, he just gave me a very scary look directly at me. I said I was just being silly and ordered quickly. No communication afterward, just putting our food on the counter near us but making us reach over to get it! We had to ask if that was for us at first to be sure.
The salmon was cut very thick which makes it tough, same with the other sushi. The attitude of the whole place was stand-offish and down right rude. Beautiful restaurant with bad help=never again!
Aside from crowds I've never had a bad experience here. The food is always fantastic and it's a beautiful restaurant. Nice to have the Japanese / Korean option.
Still my favorite sushi restaurant to date. I've been a fan since they first open and a VIP member. If I have a craving for sushi, this is the place we go. Everything on the menu is good. The best Salmon skin salad anywhere. The menu is long and delicious.
My wife and I went here Sat. night and got there about 6:45pm which was a good idea as it got busy quick after we arrived.
The food in general was quite good and the fish very fresh. However the pricey cost of Kaya is what tips the scales and keeps it from being a truly great place. For the two of us our order with drinks was over $100.00 with tip.
The rolls we ordered were quite good with really nice presentation. The only item I thought that was just average was the scallop dynamite which I've had other places for less cost and fuller flavor.
Kaya has a good ambiance and cool waterfall and neon lights. Service was good after a bit of a slow start but the price will keep us looking for other better priced places.
I've been to Kaya several times and they do nor dissappoint.
They have more rolls than I have seen anywhere else.
The decor is nice and romantic in the evening, candles, gentle waterfall type wall, adn a fish tank sushi bar.
I would go to this place every night if it wasn't so darn expensive!
Try the BMCR! ...Heaven in a roll!
Although it's in a strip mall, Kaya sushi tries hard to be trendy; it's got the dim lights, the cool music, even a pretty waterfall wall. But what comes with trendiness? A trendy price tag. Nigiri in the $7-10 range!! o_O You ain't gonna find me shelling out that kind of money on sushi unless it's the best sushi EVER (Sushi Zo, I miss you!).
I heard that Kaya's strength was in its Korean food, so I got the dolsot bibimbap ($15) and the grilled tofu salad ($7). The grilled tofu "salad" consisted of a bunch of grilled tofu blocks sitting on top of ONE lettuce leaf. The tofu was great, but still... Rename this dish please? The bibimbap was actually a pretty generous portion and darn tasty too. The rice charred perfectly and all the ingredients were fresh tasting. It came with four side dishes.
Kudos to Kaya for bringing out a free tempura ice cream and fruit bowls for our birthday boy. The service was excellent as well. Just lower the prices a tad and you're golden.
3.5 stars!
*See pics*
I came here today to eat lunch and boy it was packed like no other. So many people in such a little space. That was fine, I knew the food is worth it and very tasty.
I ordered my typical lunch box which is only I believe $15.00. What does it come with? Delicious, yummy tasty food. It gives you three sushi and 2 kind of like California roll pieces but with crab meat as well. It taste good. That's all you need to know.
You get to pick if you want chicken, beef, and salmon and something else but I always get the salmon it has terriyaki sauce on it so if you don't like it you should tell your server. :)
Also it comes with miso soup, a salad in your lunch box and white rice. OMG it is filling and indeed you will have enough food for yourself.
This place does taste good but one problem is that it can be expensive if you don't order just the lunch box but just regular rolls. Some rolls are like $15.00 :/ Soo...it will get a little bit expensive. But the taste it leaves you is divine, and needed to simulate Heaven :)
But the best deal is to get the lunchbox during lunch time, I doubt they have this special though on the weekends. So just a little heads up.
The place is gorgeous with flowing water so you really can't see the parking lot. Nice, clean and friendly place to go and try out. :)
My boyfriend and I just came back from Kaya and like always it was GREAT!!! If you love GREAT SUSHI then Kaya is the place to go... Just make sure you get there early it draws a huge crowd.
I've enjoyed the sushi at this place, but in all honesty my loyalty lies with the small Korean plate selection on the menu. Hwe Dup Bop, to be specific. An assortment of sushi-grade raw fish and extraordinary vegetables atop a bowl of salad greens and rice with hot sauce and kimchee served on the side. YUM. It can be difficult to finish the entire bowl if you're not ravenous; might be enough to split with someone for a light meal.
The ambience is a little lacking in my mind, and the prices are a little steep, but the Hwe Dup Bop is so tasty that I'm willing to forego a little ambience to enjoy this dish.
Kaya is now my go-to place for sushi. I went with some friends who frequent Kaya pretty often and they know the sushi chef, and I can tell you that the best plan of action for Kaya is to just sit at the bar, and ask the sushi chef to bring out what he thinks is best. a) that's usually a sure-fire way to get all the best stuff, and sushi chefs usually appreciate it if you put your trust in them, and b) Kaya's sushi roll menu is MASSIVE. I hadn't even picked up the menu b/c I arrived late and my friends already had some rolls at the table, but halfway in I decided to just see what the menu looked like, and I was like "holy shitballs dude, there's like a zillion rolls on this thing!"
Literally there's probably 3-4 pages cholk full of custom rolls, and they all sound ridiculously delicious. I quickly shut the menu and put it away b/c I got so overwhelmed by it, and was became very content with the fact that the decision-making process was in the hands of a professional. Anyhoo, one thing I will say, Dave, our sushi chef, really outdid himself, b/c each roll was even better than the previous one. But two did stand out: The Hongster, and Lisa's Roll. Oh, the Friday Roll was pretty sick too. Actually, all the rolls were sick. This place just rocks.
Oh.. AND, it's not Koi or Sushi Roku prices, totally reasonable especially considering the quality of sushi and the yumminess factor.
this place was my favorite korean-japanese restaurant on the west side for almost two years ... until last week. and it was mainly because of their "hwae-dup-bap."
i don't know what happened but their EIGHTEEN dollar rice dish topped with sashimi pieces and salad greens went 90-degree southbound in quality (the fish were NOT fresh ... but FISHY!) and it overall did not taste the same anymore.
it's too bad but maybe it's about time that we drive to k-town for cheaper and yummier hwae-dup-bap.
This is by far one of the best sushi places on the Westside. Yes this place gets packed on the weekends so be warned before you try to go.
if your like me and you want a little something different...and your not interested in your "everyday" rolls you must try this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and they ALWAYS remember what I order to drink, always a plus in my book! One of the reasons why I really do enjoy this place is because of the "low carb rolls" they are amazing! Trust me on this one...Fall, Friday and the Summer are my fav's...and you will become addicted just as I have!
from the street this place doesn't look like much, but once inside it is very nice and sheik. At times there can be a wait, due to the fact that they do not take reservations on Fridays and Saturdays, but it is worth the wait. I thoroughly enjoy "special rolls" and they have a very nice WIDE selection of them. Almost too wide to where it is too hard to choose.
It is can be a bit pricey but i think worth every penny.(Around $15-19/roll). The service is superb, and is great for a date, not for a group. It has become the go to place for almost every sushi dinner for me.
Some of our favorites: Sweet Salmon Roll, Winter Roll (low carb), Joseph's Roll, Tofu Salad
Wow. Amazing. When it comes to sushi I really thought I knew it all - until I found this place, that is. Fusion rolls that combine interesting and sophisticated tastes and textures, and incredibly creative.
Try the flaming volcano roll. Unbelievable.
It's a neighborhood sushi-Korean spot for timid white people. PERIOD.
The reason I lump Kaya into this category is that I would never consider it a destination worthy of driving in which you have to exceed 15 mph. And for the whitey comment, it's true or maybe it's just that they're located in MDR which substantiates my claim.
I went here last night after class with a buddy that lives nearby. The staff is very friendly and we didn't have to wait very long. They've don't a great job of transforming an strip mall retail spot into something with a trendy character to it.
For the food, I really wanted to order a dinner set like a bento box, but it was on the lunch menu and when I asked my request was squashed. So I went for a spicy tuna roll and the two-piece spicy scallop (I was feeling spicy). First, I've never seen rolls cut so big before. Instead of the usual six or eight pieces, it was served as four very large pieces which honestly was unmanageable to eat without looking like a idgit. It fell apart badly and didn't make for a good experience.
We also shared the kimchee jun which was probably the best thing of the meal.
I tried this restaurant because the website boasted an exceptional Korean and Japanese fusion menu. I was surprised at the friendly service on a busy Friday night, and not to mention how quickly we were seated.
The food was awesome. We tried a mix of Korean and Japanese dishes and loved everything. Some of my favorites include: stuffed jalapenos, yellow tail sashimi special, volcano roll (which comes out on fire!!!), Hawaiian roll, Marilyn Mon-Roll (my most favorite), and the bi bim bop.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to all sushi lovers, and anyone that enjoys Korean fusion cuisine. It gets super busy on Friday, and Saturday, so you might want to call and get a reservation.
Kaya, you really know how to treat a woman ;)
PAGES and PAGES of different rolls. Price is how much sushi normally is so nothing cheap or super expensive but it may put a small dent in your wallet.
I would recommend:
-Lobster Roll
-Sees 2 (forgot how they spelled it, but it's good)
-Sashimi ANYTHING (SOOOO FRESH!)
There are others but I can't think of any right now cuz the saliva is running down my mouth.
Quality is there. Service is good. Overall, if I had the money, I'd eat there once a week. Unfortunately, that ain't gonna happen. haha!
This is excellent sushi and really good service too. Nevermind that it's crammed into the corner of a stripmall, this is on par with a free-standing high end sushi join in Japan town. The fish is outstanding, the rolls while not traditional somehow avoid the saucy slope so many Ameri-sushi places slip on. Creative yet not bastardized. Enjoy!
Took my dad here for Father's Day which made him feel really special. If you like food + art, as he does, this place will rate high in your book, umm, your pocketbook too. Warning: they do not take reservations on weekends. Please see pix.
My dad ordered the mushroom volcano, which he said tasted very rich. Out of the 3 mushrooms pictured, he ate only 2 of them. If you're wondering what kind of leaf is under your sushi, wonder no more. My dad asked the waitress, It's bamboo. How eco-friendly!
My dad asked the waitress how do they keep that dish fired up? The waitress smiled & said they pour gin over the rock salt on the cast iron platter. What a show it was. .
My mom ordered the Aloha roll without the shrimp. It came with grilled pineapple inside, a nice tingle & a coconut miso sauce on the side that stunned me. That was the best vegan sushi I've ever tasted in my life.
She also ordered a mushroom asparagus roll which I would pass on - blah. It lacked the oomph of the other dishes.
The green veggie roll was wrapped with the bright green soy wrapper. The green tea sauce on top, my dad thought took away from the spinach sushi inside. My mom thought the rice was a little mushy, for sushi. The veggie tempura roll I liked even better, because of the textures. Next time I'm going to get a roll that the waitress suggested that includes mango. I just couldn't eat another bite, as I had grilled tofu too.
When we exited I found I like watching the sushi chefs decorate the platters. Each one of them was a work of art. There's one employee here that has a pretty good gig. With an artistic eye, he stands in a small space with multiple bottles of sauces & decorates each plate going out.
BTW, my mom noticed the drum there is a Korean drum, if you care to beat it with the velcroed drumsticks. Beware they are repainting this strip mall, the parking lot is a disaster. Hint: park along the street or in another nearby lot, otherwise you risk getting paint on your car in the tight parking lot down beneath. After spending a good amount of $ having my car detailed for Father's Day, I wasn't about to chance that. I just can't keep up with my dad, who washes his cars daily!

If you're looking for a rockin & a rollin sushi evening, this is where it's at. Here's the 5 star… Read more »
Ok so this place isn't bad, it just isn't something you go back to. We had the eel and sea bass sushi, spicy yellowtail and spicy tuna rolls, their version of eel and avocado, and the waiter's suggestion of the eel, lobster, and something with grilled pineapple on top. The inside of the restaurant is great and you are first greeted by this really pretty waterwall. That being said, the sushi doesn't taste like anything. The eel and spicy yellowtail was good but everything else could have been anything considering you couldn't taste anything. No eel, no avocado, and definitely no lobster. The spicy tuna rolls were jumbo which is never a good look when trying to eat and it didn't taste that good considering all the effort it takes to eat. Plus it is super expensive! Go somewhere else.
My only issue with Kaya is that their menu is so big and everything is so good I never know what to get!
There is like 10 pages of different rolls. I'm usually not a crazy roll person because I feel like it takes away from the simplicity of sushi, but they're just so creative at Kaya that I get intruiged...and I've never been disappointed! On the expensive side (rolls are abotu $10-$20), but worth it because it definitely took them some time to create it!
As for the sashimi...the fish is extremely fresh, so don't be afraid to order straight up sashimi (I always have reservations when I go to a sushi place for the first time). The 'sashimi specials' are great too...just a little add-ins to a sashimi plate (eg, yellowtail with jalepano).
I also like that not everything is brought at once, so you can take your time eating and relaxing. Kaya has a fun, trendy, ambiance, but not overwhelming. The service is decent, they're usually a wait (always on a weekend), but it's because it's just taht good!
I went with a friend to try this place out for lunch and it was one pleasant experience. The service was great and the place is really nice despite the ongoing construction outside the restaurant. The menu is pages and pages long -- I mean how many different types of sushi can a person try! I liked the different varieties although they are limited on a dessert menu its awesome.
My favorite is the volcano roll (i mean they bring it to you on a flame -- no joke). The salmon jalapeo roll is just delicious with a kick of spicy. If you do have a taste for spicy then I suggest you try this place out. They have so many options and types of rolls that anyone can fill their appetite.
Kaya is fresh, creative, elegant, delicious sushi as it should be. It is expensive, but worth every penny. I don't come here often, but the times I have, it has not disappointed. Kaya has such creative, artistic sushi rolls. Their sauces compliment each roll in their unique ways.
Their lunch combinations are so good - with sushi, meat, rice and more. You definitely get a lot for your money with the lunch special!
But even better are their rolls - be prepared to shell out some money for amazing sushi.
- Spicy tuna crunch roll
- Baked California roll
- Dragon roll
- Popcorn lobster roll
- Rainbow roll
- B.M.C.R
- Baja California roll
- Kaya Sashimi special
Try some of these out - they're fun to look at and even better to eat.
Do you remember on Friends when Rachel pretends she is a smoker so she can join her boss and colleagues for impromptu meetings during smoke breaks? Well, I can relate because I go to mediocre sushi joints for the same reason.
The colleagues including the boss love sushi rolls and the many variety at this place. There is an extensive menu with Korean, Japanese, and lunch specials. I've tried the combination plates and some of the sushi rolls but still don't share the enthusiasm. Usually, the sake helps with the enthusiasm but lunch ends up so much more expensive and I'm very unproductive in the afternoon.
I'm sure Kaya has plenty of patrons at night because it is a pretty hip looking place considering it is in a mini-mall across the street from the Costco. However, it does a good job of keeping the harsh elements out of plain view especially with that waterfall window.
If I wasn't such a corporate whore, I don't think I would come here. However, I don't want to be overly judgmental because there are lots of people who like this restaurant including my colleagues. Bottom line: If you're looking for high quality sushi, you might not like this place but it's good for the rolls.
A weird location for a high end sushi restaurant, but nonetheless, a great place for an endless selection of rolls. The menu is a bit overwhelming, but you can easily find a roll to suite your taste. We tried the Yellowtail Basil Roll. Very good if you like basil, but I would ask for it for no dressing or little dressing. Also got the BiBimBop Roll. Very good, but probably better to get the entree. Our favorite this meal was the Marilyn Mon-roll. But it is spicy!! The Grilled Tofu Salad was great as well.
So we think the food is wonderful but the prices are a bit high. Is it worth it? We spent about $80 for the two of us. Not bad for 3 rolls, a salad and 3 beers, but there are a lot of great places where we can spend a lot less.
We will definitely be back to try more of the menu items.
Oh, the best thing was that the food came out so fast! Service was great too. They only take reservations on the weekends.
HOLY BALLS.
I just had Kaya Sushi as I was starving on my way to Hollywood Video to return "Bucket List" (cute movie). Went in there for a to-go order but was confused to find a bunch of employees hanging out in a small corner next to the sushi bar.. there's no real podium to show any kind of list or host stand... i ordered the Popcorn lobster roll and chicken teriyaki..
The popcorn lobster roll was one HELL of a surprise. It's pretty much a california roll with mushroom and looks like a lobster corpse on top of the roll.. it was fucking amazing... mmmmmm..
Chicken teriyaki that i ordered came with rice, miso and salad.. Chicken was tender and had some kind of orange flavor which i wasn't too crazy about but at least the chicken wasn't dry for being a to-go order. But that's just a personal preference.
Bottom line: this place is totally worth checking out.. a wide variety of rolls, LOW CARB rolls, substitute for brown rice and paaaaages of all kinds of food for non-sushi lovers... it's good stuff.. on the real, son.
Anyone who's rated Kaya less than five stars hasn't tried the popcorn lobster rolls.
Their food is considered good, and I had eaten here many years ago and enjoyed it, so today Amy H. and I stopped in for lunch. It was crowded and we were given a two-top right under an icy, blowing fan. It was really cold and two men who had been sitting at a table next to ours, agreed! We got up and went back to the host.
There was now a four-top available near the window that had just been occupied by two people. We asked the waiter if we could have that table, as it was very cold at the other table. "No", we were told, "It is being saved in case a larger party comes in". Almost every four-top in there was being occupied by two people at the time. We mentioned that, and were still told "No".
I handed the waiter a "You've been Yelped" card and told him to check out our website tomorrow morning. We walked out and went next door to "FRESH IN THE BOX" where the service is ALWAYS impeccable and the food is excellent.
Poo on you, Kaya Sushi. You really screwed up today!!!! :(
Update: Sorry.. forgot to add that after eating at FITB, we walked by the window of Kaya, and there were TWO people sitting at the table that we were denied less than an hour before. Grrrrrrr!!!!
I went here with a few coworkers for lunch and I was a bit wary coming in. Two of the guys that brought us were telling me that Kaya was the "best place ever", and to be honest I did not know whether or not to trust their opinions as I have only eaten out with them once before, and it was at CPK. So basically, I had low expectations.
The location was in a strange part of town, juxtaposed between apartment construction and in a strip mall with a Wells Fargo. How could this be good?
That said, the moment we opened the doors my hopes were up. The place is very nicely decorated, with a tasteful asian ambiance, including a glass waterfall. Nice.
Upon seating, we were presented with the menu, which was massive. I knew instantly that this was a Korean/Japanese place because the menu was so large. The korean writing on the booth dividers also gave it away.
I ordered an iced green tea to drink, and it was tasty. For the table, we ordered a lobster popcorn roll and some edamame. I had the Kaya chirashi and an unagi (fresh water eel) hand roll for myself.
The presentation of the dishes was superb. Very artfully done. The unagi hand roll came complete with paper wrapper, and the lobster popcorn roll was this humongous thing that looked amazing and tasted even better. The guys that ordered box specials got them in really beautifully arranged plates instead of the standard bento box.
My chirashi came and it was a pleasant surprise. The dish was very elaborately designed, on a flat plate instead of a bowl, with the rice artfully shaped and decorated with roe, surrounded by very fresh and tasty cuts of sashimi.
I definitely am looking forward to a return visit to try out more of their custom rolls.
A word of caution: I wouldn't call this a traditional sushi restaurant. It's definitely a great place to check out if you are in the mood for special rolls with a lot of sauce and flavor. I would not recommend it if you are in the mood for a strictly Japanese-style nigiri experience. There are probably better and cheaper places for that. Come here if you want some good fusion sushi with lots of bold flavor.
nice and trendy spot. went here last week for work and was pleasantly surprised. it's a sushi/korean/japanese food restaurant with a wide variety of sushi from rolls to sashimi to tartares. the menu was also filled with tempuras, teriyakis, sukiyaki, salads, noodles and traditional korean meat dishes.
i ordered the oysters on a half shell and the rainbow roll. The oysters were ok and the rainbow roll was as expected. I should have asked for what kinds of oysters they had because the oysters they served were big! i'm not a fan of big oysters.
So there's this REALLY REALLY cute boy that works here. Yes, his pants were kinda tight, he had black earrings.. sooooo cute. He was adorable. FIVE STARS!
oh wait. umm. oh yea. the restaurant. To sum it up, this is the Korean version of Kabuki's. Pages of rolls, bugolgi, bibimbop, etc. I thought the portions were small and pricey for what it is. It was a $90 meal for the four of us and I was still hungry after.
Average all around but at least you can feast your eyes on my sexy emo boy.
Not just another average strip mall sushi bar. This place has a huge variety of rolls to choose from so it's great for the novice sushi consumer. The ambiance is great - love the water feature. The green tea is great (hot or cold). It gets a little crowded at lunchtime but it's worth the wait.
If JK didn't bring me here last night, i would've never known about Kaya. It's tucked away in the corner of a non-descript, gray plaza. The food itself was ok. Disappointed to find out that they no longer have a Korean menu (apparently they served both Korean AND Japanese food at one time, but no more - they killed the Korean menu last year). There are only a handful of Korean dishes and when I say handful, I mean it. The kalbi appetizer was tiny (notice the word APPETIZER?) The kimchi was definitely not as spicy as the ones I've had in K-town.
We ordered two different rolls, one of which escapes me right now. The Hawaiian roll was presented beautifully on a bed of hot rocks.
It was empty when we first walked in, but by the time we left, there was a decent crowd waiting outside. Our waitress was not very friendly, but the young guy that seated us was cool. Nice ambiance, definitely liked the water display thing in the front. Whether I'll go back, I'm not too sure. Try it for yourself, see what you think.
I was taken here by a co-worker last evening and I was a little nervous about the strip mall location and exterior... but don't judge a book by its cover!
The sushi was AMAZING! I love places that aren't traditional, and this wasn't! We had some amazing rolls that I've never had before and seriously they were amazing. The Baja something was "low carb" but don't turn up your nose.... still fabulous!
Then we had Joseph's Roll and a California roll topped with warm crab meat... fabulous! I totally recommend this place for some really fun and unique options for sushi dishes.
Also we had a great waitress who was super attentive, but not overbearing (a great combo for me!)
Kaya, let it be known. You've mislead me. I was enticed to have Japanese Sushi, BUT!!
Nevermind. I'll spare you this time. If not for your decorations and your waterfalls theme, I wouldn't have been so merciful.
You know about me and Bibimbap. You're smart, sneaky and chicky. You know about about my obsession with its Dol Sot. For that, I'll shall be known as the Merciful Rick.
You mesmerized me with your Sake bomb. You got me out of the Celibacy. I'll let the Gods handle you for that.
Kaya, I've been lenient enough for all these moments. If not because of your Dol Sot Bibimbap, with its Kim Chi, Sunny shine egg still with its breakable egg york and the sizzling hot Pot, I would have walked out in a heart beat with you crying and begging me to come back again. Instead, I spent 18 singles for those moment.
One last word, Let it be known, I am Rick W., Bitch! and you've been Yelped!!!
