Kakai, a new sushi restaurant in the Commercial Drive neighbourhood of Vancouver, has replaced DK Chicken on East Broadway.

Vancouver has lost Delicious Korean Chicken.

That was the full name of DK Chicken at 1638 East Broadway, a short-lived fried chicken and Korean restaurant near the intersection with Commercial Drive. It only lasted about a year, replacing Broadway Station Sushi, which had occupied the address for about a decade.

Now the space is once again serving sushi, as Kakai opened up near the end of 2023.

Along with a variety of rolls and cones, the new restaurant also carries other Japanese dishes like tempura, donburi, noodles, and a variety of appetizers.

"We are striving to become one of your favourite Japanese dining experiences in Vancouver," states Kakai's website.
