    KAIYO is so cute!! They wanted to try this place out and I'm always down for new food spots. Enjoyed some food before exploring San Francisco and wow. I heard of this place before as they have a rooftop bar that I've been meaning to check out closer to downtown sf. There were outdoor and indoor seating but we opted to sit outdoor to people watch and chat. I do want to come back and enjoy the indoor seating or bar since it was so romantic.

    It's one of those higher end fusion japanese places and so not my usual dinner choice but definitely a good treat. The scallops were delicious, tender and light. it had a nice bite to it and the whole dish was pretty acidic and tangy. The nigiri was also high quality and seemed fresh. I sat at the bar and service was pretty standard. The ambiance is moody lighting and good talking volume.

    The restaurant vibe was one of those with barely any lighting which wasn't a problem for me until the table next to me started accidentally flashing me with their phone's flash light in order to see the menu. The servers were all very nice and constantly checked up on the table. Order: Vegan scallop $16.00 -this was soooo good, the sauce and the "scallop" ( probably mushroom) were addicting. I just wish there was more Always sunny roll $20.00 Well seasoned, no soy sauce really needed, great for salmon super lovers Kabocha roll $16.00 I was surprised that it was made with pumpkin. It tasted so good it was well seasoned. It felt light and healthy and I definitely wanted another one or at least to try another vegetarian dish since this one was so delicious and creative. All the food was really good but the price did hurt the wallet a bit.

    Really cool spot in San Francisco. Have a couple locations and I heard their rooftop location is awesome. But this spot is cool too. We had the Dragaon, Rainbow and PAC Heights Rolls for apps as well as the Veggie Gyoza. All were amazing especially the Gyoza. Had the Braised Short Rib for my main which was fall off the bone amazing. Service was super friendly, a bit slow but super nice. Reason I didn't give it 5 is because when. I see the word Peruvian, I'm expecting more Peruvian. I know it's a fusion but Peruvian is one of my favorite cuisines so I just had more traditional Peruvian takes. But a really good spot and I'll for sure go back.
