A lot of restaurants that have been around for decades never change their menus and so retain only older patrons. Without new generations of diners sooner or later a restaurant dies. Ten years ago I thought that was exactly what was going to happen to Kai, but I was fortunately wrong. Kai has always been a traditional high end chinese restaurant, but they have been brave and adventurous enough to grow with time and adapt their menu to all, without compromising their chinese roots. Instead they adapt foreign or unusual ingredients to support and complement the flavour of the dishes. Sometimes service can be a little slow and the decor is terribly dated, but the food is always consistent. I strongly recommend fellow diners to try the wasabi prawns, the abalone dish and the lobster noodles.
