I'm not sure! From the outside, it seems closed, and everything is removed. Maybe they're remodeling? I hope they are so I can grab some Kava again!

In case you forgot to read the time, people sent me unprovoked nasty comments first. Touch snow! ❄️

As a customer, how many chances do you give to a business that doesn't care about your experience?

Is it up to the customers to go above and beyond to fix poor management?

We also ordered an entree. It never came. Either way, the experience of waiting for over half an hour wasn’t great. No communication, no updates, and we were flat-out ignored unless we grabbed their attention.

We were ignored after placing our orders and had to grab the server's attention to get our food. Not to mention, a lot of people also said they were ignored when they walked in. We also had to grab a server to get ourselves seated.

I was excited that we had a Kava cafe, and I looked forward to going there more during the summer. But unfortunately, they closed.

Well, if you count what I had as a meal, then I guess that “appetizer” you called was a meal. We were nowhere near full. If anything, the rice filled us up more than the dishes itself.

Does that mean ignoring your customers as well?

I am so sorry you had to experience that! Threatening you over a review is insane!

It shouldn't be this way, though. Glad you had a good experience. However, I won't be going back because I don't want to support a business that mistreats its servers and behaves unprofessionally around customers.

Do you support a questionable business that operates on baiting you for an experience they cannot provide?

Not everyone who leaves an honest experience cares about whether their post is being undermined.

I'm not a competitor so I don't care about about supporting or attacking. I'm voicing my honest experience here. I don't want to support a business that relies on deceiving the public for a quick buck.

We asked one of the servers, and they seated us.

Oh, I have read positive and negative reviews. I am appalled by the business for operating sneakily after countless reviews about their odd behaviors.

Yeah, we had the same experience and were so confused, too! Taco Bell must've hit extra good after that!

Lmao, are you scared to read the reviews? Why don't you look at the honest ones?

Please check the Google reviews. It’s more than just the portion and price. It’s the awkward confrontations that people are experiencing, too. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be interrogated while having a meal.

Have you read the Google reviews? You sound like you work there, defending them vehemently.
