Island Eats - Eugene

In just a short time, Kaya has become my favorite eatery in Key West. Awesome friendly staff, cool atmosphere, and the best food on the island. I highly recommend the tuna poké, pork sliders, j wings, and fish tacos, but you can't go wrong with anything at Kaya!

My first time in key west and this place was excellent. We were told the shrimp were local to the area, so I tried shrimp tacos. Also ordered mahi tacos. Both were delicious but if I had to choose: go with the shrimp. I ordered a mojito that was quite strong. Also ordered a tomato tower. This was kind of disappointing because it was basically one tomato with cheese in between. Not worth the price I paid for it. Took off one star for this. The service was quick and my server was extremely attentive. I would come back here and highly recommend giving this place a try.

I wish I had a bigger stomach because everything on Kaya's menu is so good! I could eat those poke nachos for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The peel eat shrimp were so fresh and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The conch fritters were like perfect little deep fried clouds of heaven and that sauce, well, I was practically licking it off the plate. The pulled pork sliders were super succulent with a nice balance of acidity from the mango salsa. Our server Lynn was so fun, attentive and totally entertaining! Price point here is awesome for the quality of food and service that you get!

First off I will say if I could give this place 10 stars then I would. Daniel and Tammy (the owners) were excellent host/servers! First off this is the first restaurant that I have been to that gives you mint, lemon, and lime in your water. They bring cups of water as well as a pitcher. As a girl who loves her water I was in heaven! The food was so good and perfectly cooked! Usually when I order shrimp tacos there is like 3 shrimps. The tacos were full of shrimp! Like overflowing. My husband had the Korean BBQ beef tacos and he didn't want to share they were so good. The kids had the slider burgers. And we asked for them medium well bc most places will cook them well if asked this way. Nope they were cooked a perfect medium well! We also had the key lime pie and an ice cream pie (forgot the name) and it was soooo good as well. It looked so good I forgot to take pics. This will now be my go to place in the Keys!

Hands down, the best fish I've ever eaten. (Key lime butter, Wahoo). Our appetizers were all excellent, my daughter got the curry and it was amazing with a subtle heat at the end. 10 out of 10, would go back! Also, the service A+ and the owner sent out homemade key lime pies for my kids and it was hands down the best I've ever tried. Slightly thicker consistency than usual. Can't wait to go back!!! Highly recommend.
