    The food and experience was phenomenal. The nori chips and dip were my favorite starter. Definitely recommend getting a hand roll set and adding another. I usually don’t like California rolls but this has changed me! All the food is so fresh with high quality fish. The puncha matcha is a must have cocktail as well! The chefs and staff were so kind and knowledgeable.

    Had a lovely Mother’s Day brunch here! Moms got a Guinness glass and a flower to accompany their breakfast. Food was pretty good, my only critique is that the chicken and waffles were a bit dry. The drink menu is unique and exclusively beer, but they do have some interesting breakfast beer cocktails. Service was great and so is the atmosphere!

    Our son was home from college and we decided to go check out Kaiser Tiger! Our service was great (thank you, Kitty!). We started with the bacon appetizer (YUM!) and the pretzel (also YUM!). We tried the burger and the chicken sandwich... all of the food was great! We tried a couple of the beers on tap (can't remember names) and enjoyed both! We will definitely come back in warmer weather - the back patio seems amazing!
