About Me

Long Beach, California, United States
I don't really like to shop, I don't spend a lot of money on make up or getting my hair done. Instead, I spend my money on eating out. I love everything from the food and drinks to the atmosphere. I like trying new foods and new restaurants. For this blog, I am going to share my eating adventures in Long Beach. I will be writing about smaller places, so no chains or franchises. I will share my thoughts on the food, atmosphere, location and anything else I think is worth noting.

Kavikas Grill & Bar



Kavikas Grill & Bar was such a cool place. Everything about the bar had a lounge type feel and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. They have a huge fireplace in the center of the bar and the bar top and lights change colors that match the colors of the lighthouse at the Pike in downtown. Aside from the awesome atmosphere, the wok-style food was delicious. As an appetizer, I ordered the chicken spring rolls, which had a spicy sauce that gave it a real kick. They were really good and made me more excited for my entree. I ordered the Mandarin Wok with tempura fried shrimp and jasmine rice. The rice was really sticky and the slight hint of jasmine made it very unique. Paired with the citrusy sauce on my shrimp, it was a perfect combination.
Kavikas also had some interesting martinis and drinks on their menu. I decided on a caramel apple martini and it was amazing. The glass was lined with caramel sauce and tasted like a real caramel apple. It was sweet and tangy and did not taste like alcohol.
The prices at Kavikas seemed a little bit expensive when I first looked at the menu. However I definitely feel that the $14.00 I paid for my shrimp was worth it. I did order one of the least expensive entrees, but I think the food would be worth it.
