Kahiki says: Chicken meat, steamed rice, and vegetables in a sweet Teriyaki sauce

Kelly says: Kahiki doesn’t make promises it can’t keep. This sweet, sweet, sweet meal features chicken and vegetables dripping in teriyaki sauce. There’s plenty of chicken and vegetables, but the sauce was so overpoweringly bland that I’m sort of scared to try other things in the same brand family.

I’m also worried that I’ll become a diabetic from eating the sauce. It is that sweet.

The steamed veggies included carrots and water chestnuts and light colored vegetables I was unable to identify. Yeah, it is a bit sad when you can’t ID your own food. I am a brocolli-lover, so I was happy to get five good-size florets. It is just too bad that the picture shows approximately twice as much chicken and half as much carrot as I was provided in reality.

Another plus? I like getting rice with my meals (I know, it is a waste of money to buy frozen rice), so I was happy to see that Kahiki does pretty well with white rice. However, plain white rice shouldn’t be the centerpiece of a meal.

There’s plenty of food here and I didn’t finish the entire meal, but I don’t know if that was because I was full or just sick of the sugary sauce they called Teriyaki. What I do know is if I ever ate this at a place claiming to be an Asian restaurant, I’d probably never return.

Having said that, the experience probably won’t keep me from giving the brand another try, so long as it is on sale. But I’m adventurous and perhaps you’re not.

Don’t waste your money on their Chicken Fried Rice. It was one of the most flavorless things I’ve ever eaten.

Yeah, the yet-to-be-reviewed Kahiki Fried Rice is disturbing. The Polynesian concept seemed like a good idea at the grocery store, but now that I’ve seen in in practice I think they need to do a lot of work on the food.

I tried to post something on I Ate A Pie tonight and kept getting error messages. I guess that’s what I get for straying LOL.

Abi - I was so disappointed with the Kahiki Fried Rice that I haven’t had the guts to heat up the other one I bought which is the Beef Broccoli one. Do you have that? I’ll wait for your review. I’ve been scared to try it.

I almost thought I was eating a Healthy Choice meal. Gag.
