With a Japanese name that means "strange beast" in English, King Kaijoo gave an inkling what culinary adventure lay in wait for us last Monday
Asked what key words sum up King Kaijoo's food, owner Ren Hernandez has this to say..
" Asian. Fusion. Fun. "
Back Story
Back Story
With China Town Foods as its progenitor, one can say that King Kaijoo was born out of the next generation's need to veer as far away as possible from the original template and explore other exciting foods to offer the new set of clientele - the children and grandchildren of the loyal followers of Chinatown foods.
Moreover, from a year of research and planning, they discovered that there is a market for adventurous foodies who long for cuisines other than the ubiquitous traditional found in the area.
The Food
