Kaigan Sushi - San Carlos

I very rarely leave a restaurant feeling distressed, but there were a lot of issues here when we stopped by for lunch. I think one in isolation is already stressful but there were just too many in succession. The lack of cleanliness was a big issue here. We looked up and saw huge spiderwebs and cobwebs above the front door inside. That was rather gross and hinted that the restaurant may not be that thorough about cleaning. My husband was absolutely disgusted by this. Next, the serving ware was a bit dirty. My husband had this gross stain on his water cup near the lip, so he asked for another one. The waiter was about to bring over a second cup when he noticed that too was dirty so he had to go back again to get another cup. That was unsettling. The new cup was actually still dirty but at least it wasn't near the lip of the cup. The water was in those big glass bottles that you pour yourself. I noticed that the rubber top (that touches the water had a ton of black spots. That indicates mold and/or dirt which was pretty gross. I should have asked for a new bottle but I think I was just so shell shocked from the rest of the stuff that I forgot to ask. Next, they gave my husband the wrong dish despite the two dishes not sounding alike. They quickly rectified it which was good. They also initially gave my husband miso soup and we thought it was part of his meal since we didn't order it. However when we got the bill, they charged us for the miso soup. We had to briefly argue that we didn't order it; we ate it because they gave it to us and they finally agreed to take it off the receipt. Rice is not included with curry and so that was an extra $4 which was also a bit pricey. The yellow curry portion was very large to my surprise. However this was one of the most watery Thai curries I have ever eaten and I eat a lot of Thai curries. It was too bad because I actually thought the flavor was decent though. Chicken was also a tiny bit dry. The green curry roti is not bad though. I liked the curry sauce. All in all I was just disappointed with our lunch experience and won't be back anytime soon. I'm kind of upset because I remember going to Asya (same logo, I checked! back when they were in San Carlos and Ioved it back then. Not sure if ownership has changed or what.

We 've been looking for a nice, mid week I 'm in the mood for sushi place with very good quality and reasonable prices and we definitely found it here. We ordered 5 specialty rolls and the tempura. Plenty of food for 2 with leftovers for $70. We will definitely go back.

The food was excellent, the service was excellent, but the door that wouldn't stay shut in the wind was annoying.

Call them for take outs. They are sooooo good! Friendly, clean, and good sashimi, sushi, bento box. You ! go wrong. Just call then come pick it up

Great food, great prices. A local treasure! I love the sushi and the Thai dishes. Drunken noodles and Pa Nang Curry with salmon are two of my favorites!
