“I try to do a little more than plate lunch,” chuckles chef David Yamamoto. “Most of my menu, I try to do things a little different, with creative twists.”
Whether it’s a fusion dish or a time-tested classic, everything here is fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
Braised Boneless Short Ribs ($14.95)
KSK Corned Beef Hash Egg Bomb ($10.95) provides ample fuel for a busy day.
“I wrap two seven-minute poached eggs in corn beef hash, bread and deep-fry them, and cover them with our house gravy and crispy onions,” says Yamamoto. “It’s a clever reinvention of a classic breakfast plate.”
Fresh-Baked Furikake Dynamite Crusted Salmon ($12.95)
The restaurant’s Braised Boneless Short Ribs ($14.95) features beef ribs braised ossobuco-style for three or four hours until they’re gloriously tender. The ribs are finished in fragrant rich brown gravy with celery, carrots and onions.
Kahai Street’s Fresh-Baked Furikake Dynamite Crusted Salmon ($12.95) features shichimi, the Japanese spice that blends red chili pepper, sansho (Japanese pepper), roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, poppy and hemp seeds, ginger and nori. The salmon is finished with a delicate white wine sauce and garnished with crispy potatoes.
This definitely isn’t “fast food.” Nothing here is scooped out of a buffet-style food warmer or heated in a microwave. “Everything is freshly made,” says Yamamoto. “It’s not like a regular drive-in. It might take a little bit longer, but you get good quality.”
