5/5 Elija B. 2 years ago on Google
I
will
say
upfront
that
I
have
resisted
going
to
Kai
Asian
because
of
the
paper
bowls
and
plates.
There
is
just
something
so
basically
unappetizing
about
shoveling
food
into
your
mouth
out
of
paper,
but
I
thought,
Put
aside
your
preconceptions
and
focus
solely
on
the
food.
I
had
the
steamed
Pork
Bao
as
an
appetizer
and
they
were
great!
A
good
way
to
launch
into
a
culinary
adventure.
They
were
served
with
Sriracha
and
Soy
sauce,
But
nothing
to
put
the
sauces
in...
Just
a
small
peeve.
I
used
the
plastic
top
from
my
water,
but
I
was
determined
to
not
withhold
stars
for
petty
utensil
issues.
I
would
have
liked
a
little
sweet
sauce,
perhaps
Hoisin,
but
the
Boa
was
good,
hot,
and
satisfying.
The
Tom
Kha
was
exceptional,
even
is
the
Kafir
lime
leaf
appeared
to
be
dried
instead
of
fresh.
But
then
like
a
pestering
ghost,
the
problem
of
utensils
comes
back
into
my
sensibilities.
The
spoon
is
a
tiny
plastic
number
that
regiments
you
into
a
delicate
sipping
that
was
distracting
and
made
me
feel
like
a
kid
in
a
school
lunch
room,
but
worse...
It
was
a
cheap
flimsy
spoon
with
sharp
edges
that
repeatedly
cut
the
inside
of
my
lip.
I
looked
down
at
the
spoon
and
thought,
What
is
that
red
color?
Some
wonderful
crimson
spice?
No,
It
was
blood
and
not
just
one
side,
both
sides.
As
much
as
I
hate
to
do
it,
the
feeling
of
cheapness
keeps
edging
in.
I
know,
it's
a
small
place
and
they
probably
don't
have
room
for
a
dishwasher,
but
they
need
to
figure
out
some
answer
for
their
spoons
and
forks
at
least.
I
am
not
interested
in
wrapping
my
big
arthritic
hands
around
a
tiny
light
weight
piece
of
sharp
plastic,
like
a
bear
trying
to
grasp
a
toothbrush.
So
why,
if
I
am
so
annoyed
have
I
unbent
enough
to
bestow
the
full
5
stars,
and
I'll
tell
you.
I
got
the
Sesame
Balls
to
go
for
my
wife,
which
I
did
with
some
trepidation,
as
she
is
extraordinarily
picky
about
her
Sesame
Balls.
The
Princess
and
the
Sesame
Balls
instead
of
the
Princess
and
the
Pea.
I
delivered
these
little
orbs
of
chewy
dough
and
Red
Bean
Paste,
and
her
eyes
lit
up!
And
as
her
eyes
lit
up,
Kai's
Asian
Street
Food
went
up
in
my
esteem.
What
makes
the
wife
happy,
makes
me
happy.
I
hope
it
will
not
be
too
weird
if
I
bring
my
own
utensils
with
me
next
time
I
visit.
If
I
could
bring
my
own
plates
and
bowls,
I
would.
It's
a
tiny
neighborhood
offering
jammed
into
a
fast
food
space
that
is
not
big
enough
to
play
with
the
local
big
boy.
Perfect
for
to-go
orders
and
the
folks
in
the
area
who
want
to
gas
up
and
catch
a
quick
bite,
but
I'll
never
take
someone
there
who
I
want
to
impress.
