Kai Lounge had amazing food, amazing staff, and quite frankly would be a top-tier spot if there was more activity at the mall it is located in. In my honest opinion, the wagyu meatballs did not actually taste like wagyu since they were a bit overdone, and the beef plate had more rice than beef, which isn't what I'd expect from a place that had no other parties sat. Great otherwise.
