Kai Sushi Shabu-Shabu Description:
Chef and owner Kaz Sato is a longtime Santa Barbara restaurateur and Kai Sushi is his most creative venture yet. Unable to compete with the plethora of superior sushi restaurants nearby, he smartly installed a neat row of shabu shabu burners to switch things up. After a server gets the pot of broth roiling, a parade of platters---laden with meats, veggies and tofu---appears. Minced ginger and garlic, as well as grated daikon, add flavor to the ponzu dipping sauce. The cubes of tofu drenched in peanut sauce are another favorite here. The sushi, on the other hand, is mediocre at best. Service tends to be poor.
