More information on Chai's Island Bistro
We give Chai's high marks for top quality, creative food, but have less enthusiasm for its service and ambience, especially at dinner, when the overamped music can detract from the dining experience. Also, the dinner entree prices have risen significantly. The 200-seat restaurant has high ceilings, a good location (though not on the waterfront), indoor-outdoor seating, and a discreetly placed (not in-your-face) open kitchen. The appetizer sampler for two appears on a boat-size platter -- a feast of ahi katsu with yellow curry sauce and wasabi; crisp duck lumpia, tasty and greaseless; macadamia nut-crusted tiger prawns; and Alaskan king crab cakes. This appetizer could be an entree, or a starter for two, and it's my favorite item on the menu. The fusion dishes include steamed, fresh, Chinese-style onaga, and an ample selection of vegetarian dishes. A caveat: The nightly entertainment tends to be excruciatingly loud, especially when Hapa plays on Thursday and Friday. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
