    Before coming to SushiKai I didn’t like raw sushi, this place completely changed my mind. The fish is so fresh it’s life changing honestly. It’s 100% worth the price for an experience like no other. The chefs are really friendly also and will chat while prepping the food. Definitely booking again.

    Overall, we were very pleased with our dining experience. Unfortunately, the crowd noise was extremely high and distracted us from the meal. (This was not the restaurant's fault. It could be a sign of success.) More importantly, the food was excellent, and the waitstaff was attentive. The ambiance is candlelit tables and dimmed lighting. There is a bar/lounge that is packed with a lively clientele. We left before the DJ was to go on. There is live entertainment scheduled on weekends. I highly recommend Forte for date nights, and family or friend gatherings.
