Stopped by because of the positive reviews, lived yo to the 5 stars. Got short ribs, fried pork, and bibembap. A lot of food for 3 people, all tasty. The fried pork was crispy and light with homemade sweet and sour sauce, both the bibembap and ribs came out sizzling. Fun spot to share some food family style. Very friendly staff, a little quiet inside but clean

Kaya is a little spot that packs a big punch with its flavors. If you're searching for authentic Asian cuisine, this place is definitely worth checking out. I recently visited and tried the Stir Fried Spicy Pork and the Beef Chow Fun. My first experience with Beef Chow Fun was a few years back in Chinatown, NY. I've been obsessed ever since and have been on a quest to find a local equivalent, and Kaya's came close. The Stir Fried Spicy Pork was also a winner; spicy enough but balanced with great flavor. Our server was attentive, and happy to answer questions/make recommendations, which was much appreciated!

MY FAVORITE MEAL during my trip to NC came from Kaya Restaurant: 重庆鸡 (Chongqing Spicy Chicken). It was SO FLAVORFUL & SPICY! But first, let me explain. After a brief, but pleasant conversation with the order-taker, I asked him: "What do you recommend? Something with chicken & very, very spicy. What do YOU like most?" "How spicy?" he replied & I raised my hand up high & emphatically stated "I like VERY, VERY SPICY!" He told me, "this is what I like" (pointing to the menu) "but it is very spicy and it is Chinese, not Korean." I assured him that that is what I want -I eat very spicy. He then said it would take 30 minutes because they are very busy. "No Problem," I replied & eagerly awaiting my meal. I would guess that in ~15 mins he brought me the most delicious meal I've had this entire trip! 重庆鸡 (Chongqing Spicy Chicken) looks very simple. It's basically fried cubes of chicken. It didn't appear to be battered & there were no signs of dry seasoning. No sauce. Would it be dry? It did contain TONS OF dried red chili peppers. Scary! Yet it ended up being so delicious! The chicken was full of flavor -ginger, garlic, the peppers & who-knows-what! With my chop sticks, I started to avoid the dried peppers & eat only the chicken with the rice. I highly recommend. I want more! The people are super friendly & the restaurant is small but very busy. Y'all know if I'm ever anywhere near this area -I'm coming back!!!

Tasty food at a good price! The ambiance was charming and homely. Service was prompt. The food tasted authentic, side dishes were nice. Portion sizes were very filling as well. I would recommend the oxtail soup!

Small mom n pops place in high point. They offer hibachi plates Monday through Friday. I ordered the chicken and shrimp plate. It was delicious. We especially loved the spicy sweet sauce they provide. Service was super and quick. The place is definitely a gem. A must try in high point for a quick meal.

I'm going to come back and keep trying more food. So far only had the seafood jjangmyeon. It was yummy and very large portion. Be aware it does have both small shrimps and pork. Sides were kimchi and pickled radish. Yum yum. Many Korean families in there when I picked up my food. Going to try the spicy soft tofu stew today. Service quick but friendly. Nothing to dislike, everything to love. UPDATE: I HAD THE STEW. omg BEST SOUP I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I just finished eating it. Honestly - *perfection* I had the spicy soft tofu stew with beef - different from spicy beef stew. Literally amazing. Like I am convinced I have to learn how to make this and the banchan (the sides right?) everything AMAZING. Even the little broccolis. The beef was so tender and flavorful - I am really picky about meat. No fat. Literally a perfect meal. Sorry I know the pics are disastrous but I literally could not stop eating this. *chef kiss*

A friend in Greensboro has been raving about this restaurant in High Point (just minutes from Greensboro) for awhile now...so I finally made plans to visit her and this gem of a restaurant! For starters, I must mention that I found it strange that this restaurant is advertised as Japanese-Korean...given how it's basically a Korean restaurant, with at least 90% Korean specialties. Really, the only Japanese items I saw on their menu were Tonkatsu and Udon. The entire staff seemed to be Korean as well. In any case, this is a completely authentic Korean restaurant...as far as I can see it! Am thinking they added the word Japanese since most folks are more familiar with Japanese foods?? The place was casual, but had a nice, comfy layout and ambiance (complete with K-Pop on screen)...and a super-friendly menu! In fact, they had this pictured menu of all the dishes on the big screen, with price points...many of which I MUST return to try (like their Galbijim, my favorite Korean food of all time!). Anyway, my friend recommended their Tangsuyuk...and she was totally right. It was one of the best I've had in recent years!! They even had this "Jjajang-Tangsuyuk Set" on the menu, which came with a HUGE bowl of Jjajangmyun, a generous portion of Tangsuyuk, Kimchee and Takuan. Jjajangmyun and Tangsuyuk are my favorite Korean food combo...so this set was an obvious choice....and was definitely enough for 2 to share! Jjajangmyun was delicious also, but I thought it could have been spicier. Still, I was impressed with their "meaty" version...with generous chunks of savory beef in them! Although it didn't have that deep, spicy Jjajangmyun flavor, it still had this great, luscious flavor. Still, the Tangsuyuk was stronger of the 2. Overall, this combo meal was a was SUCH a satisfying meal...and all for only 22 bucks!! I just can't believe it took so long for me to take a road trip over to this area (less than 2 hours from where I live). In more ways than one, this trip was so overdue...and well worth it!

(3.5 stars. Food alone would be a solid 4 stars while overall dine-in experience would be a weak 3.) Located at 3925 Sedgebrook Street in High Point, Kaya offers Korean and Japanese cuisine. Lunch specials are available. Tucked into a shopping center off 68 near the High Point-Greensboro border, Kaya hits a number of hidden gem checkboxes: it's unassuming and easily overlooked, it's family-run and popular among locals, and the food is, by and large, good. That said, I would hesitate to give this place a rave. A no-frills establishment, Kaya is nevertheless quiet and clean. It offers a familiar selection of hibachi dishes, but Korean is the main draw here. A large, pictorial Korean menu greets you upon entry. For those seeking authenticity, dishes like spicy squid or braised pig trotters let you know that you are in the right place. My wife and I opted to split a seafood pancake, a bimimbap, and a spicy pork. As expected, they came with an array of banchan, and portions were plentiful. Though food quality varied, nothing was worse than average. The spicy pork was delicious. It was served hot with onions and slathered in a delectable sauce. The seafood pancake's dough-to-seafood ratio favored the former though it was still quite tasty. That said, the bimimbap was a mixed bag. I appreciated the array of vegetables included though it was fairly light on meat. It also was not served sizzling, but that was my fault for not realizing that I needed to order the dol (stone pot) version. Staff here are polite, but they will leave you alone unless you specifically request something. Chalk it up to custom rather than any kind of intentional indifference. For what Kaya charges (entrees in the teens), the plastic silverware and styrafoam cups felt like penny-pinching. The variety of Kaya's offerings and the quality of the spicy pork alone make me want to give this place another chance, but I would probably opt for takeout rather than dine-in in the future.

This spot is always good. They have Korean and Japanese food. The Japanese is hibachi. Today I wanted to eat the black beans noodles with fried pork with a sweet sauce. N2- Jajang Tangsuyuk set! Everything is cooked to order and fresh. This dish is $21 but with tax is about $25. But you get a lot of food.

Thanks to some great reviews on Yelp, I decided to try out Kaya for lunch on a Tuesday. I am happy to report that it was everything I expected it to be, and the co-worker i took here also liked the restaurant. The interior of this restaurant is very unassuming, they have wooden table/chairs separated unto sort of individual eating areas by wooden boards. Once you enter, you order tge food at the counter infront and a very kind, polite server brings it out to you once it is ready. I ordered the teriyaki chicken lunch special which comes with rice, salad, choice of sauce and a drink and the portions will fill you up! The portions sizes are great and you could definitely have left overs for a later meal. Now the reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, Is because I was expecting the food to be a bit more spicy...but it turned out pretty mild which is sort of turn-off for me as I love spice in my food. Nonetheless, I would go here again and ask for spicier food next time!
