I don’t go to sushi for lunch very often, it’s more of a dinner meal for me. I did have a very good lunch special at Kaido not too long ago.

For $14, you get an almost obscene amount of food. The Sushi Large Plate provides miso, a plate with 7 pieces of nigiri and 1 sushi roll, plus your choice of salads.

The combination comes with tuna, albacore, yellowtail, halibut, shrimp, salmon, something I can’t remember.

The salads to choose from are substantial. I tried the chicken salad and there was a full chicken breast in addition to the fresh greens, veggies and avocado.

Chicken Salad

There is enough food that you could almost split the combo, with maybe another roll or too to fill two people up.

Service is friendly and fast for lunch, good if you need to get back to work.

Kaido is located in a little strip mall at Santa Monica and Yale. The space used to be occupied by one of our favorite sushi bars, Senju, which closed years ago. Glad to see that the space is being put to good use.
