Haven't been here in a long while . Stopped by for late lunch early dinner . Celebrating wifeys bday :) Omg!!!! So good .. started off with a glass of red sangria Followed by the most incredible provoleta = fried cheese to die 4. The Citrus salad was just the perfect combination to go with the Skirt steak and potatoes . What a great meal :)) read more

Cool space, good service. The burger was messy, I would give it a 3/5. The skirt steak was phenomenal, garden salad was delicious and the fries extra crispy. Maybe I'll try something else next time. read more

Came here for lunch since the location worked. It was around 2pm on a Saturday and it was super chill/empty. We were seated right away and had great service the whole time. The food itself was delicious. I had the lettuce pork tacos and we shared the popcorn chicken appetizers. The popcorn chicken and pork were so good. We also had churros (didn't take a pic) with dulce de leche dip which was a great dessert. I ended the lunch with a cappuccino. The place is midrange for price so I think overall it's great for a little lunch date. read more

The decor is adorable. The lights on the table are so cute they change to a mellow yellow or fluorescent white light. The chimichurri sauce was served with ever meal and honestly was to die for! Seriously move over "frank red hots" cuz I put that chimmi sauce on ERRYYYTHANG! sliders were soo goodd cooked to perfect. Just dunk the sliders in trust me. The short rib cooked med well was perfection i should of asked for mid well for the skirt steak too but I'm never sure how close places are to cooking to not over cook. If you like medium to med rare it was safe to cooking measurement. Put the sauce on the mash and brocoli, trust me! We ordered the tres lèche too! If you have a nut allergy it is topped With coconut and drizzled with Caramel or Nutella? Im not sure. I did my best to enjoy what i could without touching those parts. The cake was soooooo good toooed with heavenly cream (We didn't get a photo of it) just order it read more

This cute ambiance was a unique experience. We came for the happy hour which is 2 drinks for the price of 1. So essentially $15 for 2 drinks. They were good good. Not a huge selection but the passionfruit margarita and the blueberry margarita was great. We also had their beef empanadas that hit the spot. Unfortunately the happy hour is just for drinks and not food. It so happens that it was a futbol night that Argentina played and this place got packed. The service was great they were very attentive and very fast with drinks and food. Highly recommend. read more

Great food... really poor service. Had dinner there las night and while the food was great. There needs to be some reality checks on the menu descriptions. Wedge potatoes are not supposed to be French fries. I do give the food 9/10 but our service was terrible. We were seated , had our drink order taken and then didn't see our waiter for 25 minutes. Another server came over finally and asked if we were ready to order drinks. Finally ordered our meal and it took forever to get and they forgot our salads. Drinks took 25 minutes to arrive and we had to beg to get any table service, water refills and a second drink order. Would I recommend ? Maybe. They definitely need more staff and a crash course in customer service. read more

I like the concept. Este es un lugar que pareciera caído del cielo en un barrio que no lo acompaña. Definitivamente esta mejorando por negocios como este que están abriendo y haciéndolo mas interesante. El tren Bright-line pasa justo por detrás del establecimiento, que mientras estas sentado comiendo lo observas como cada 15 minutos. Tienes la opción de comer a temperatura ambiente o en el salon climatizado. La parrilla que compartí me pareció sabrosa, destacando la morcilla, pues no soy fan y esa estuvo buenisima. La sangria no cumplió las expectativas, pero en general me gusto la experiencia que tuve. read more

We saw Kao Bar & Grill as we were driving down West Dixie Highway in Hallandale a few weeks ago and thought the shipping containers looked so cool and we were waiting on it to open up, so happy it's now finally opened! We made reservations to the restaurant about a week in advance for my husband's birthday and we arrived a couple of minutes before our reservation time. The parking is a little confusing at first, there are metered spots and then there's shops nearby. We parked in a shopping center across the street that was all closed after 7 PM, but there weren't signs saying you couldn't park there, so just use caution if you do that. But our car was fine when we came back to it. When we walked into the restaurant, it was quite stunning, there's a number of outdoor seats next to the bar and tables inside of the shipping containers. It was raining earlier, so the restaurant employee (who was also our server) recommended that we eat inside. Our server was absolutely outstanding, very warm and genuine and made us feel at home. He brought us our menus and gave us a few minutes to look them over. They brought us a small dish of roasted peanuts to start as well while we ordered a bottle of white wine, which I think was around $35. For appetizers, we ordered the Citrus Walnut Salad ($12), which was absolutely amazing, a large portion for 2 people to share and the fruits and vegetables were extremely fresh and flavorful. For entrees, we ordered the Milanesa Napolitana ($21) with a side of potato wedges, and the Classic Chicken Milanesa ($17) with a side of veggies. Both dishes were absolutely outstanding, and a large portion and we both absolutely raved about it! For dessert, we ordered the Tres Leches ($12) which also was outstanding, and it had a burnt marshmallow crisp topping which was quite unique as well. Service and food were absolutely a standout, and this has to be probably one of the top dining establishments in Hallandale for an upscale dining experience. We definitely look forward to returning! read more

Kao Bar & Grill - Mollejitas espectaculares! - Argentine Near Me - Hallandale Beach, Florida

Our experience was subpar. To begin, I ordered the New York strip at medium, and the steak came out well done. I notified my server the steak was overcooked. She shared, "ok," no apologies, took the steak back, and I waited while my guest ate for the steak to come back out. Thankfully, the second steak came out much better. The atmosphere looked good, but we were fighting flies and mosquitos the entire time. Most of the time, we were the only guests in the restaurant; however, we had to connect with another lady to get certain things for the table. Overall, the experience was less than ideal. My guest enjoyed her pizza, but the service wasn't excellent, mainly because there were more employees than customers. read more

Kao Bar & Grill - New York strip !!! - Argentine Near Me - Hallandale Beach, Florida

Have had the pleasure of being here twice, since I was always asking myself "What the heck is that place that's made out of containers?!", and after a few months of wondering, we decided to walk in and we were blown away! The decor is nice and warm! In the interior there are black and white face portraits of famous Argentineans with some small captions that are entertaining. The lighting is just right on the inside, so I've always opted to eat there. Will go more towards the outside on my next time. So far I've had the Pork Lettuce wrapped tacos as an appetizer, as well as the Rockin Chicken (Popcorn chicken bites) and they were both great. The pork tacos specifically were really good. Last time I went, I had the hummus and the Chicken tacos - I was not too thrilled by the hummus since I found it to be too much on the lemony side, but my partner enjoyed it thoroughly. The Chicken tacos had a slightly spicy and sweet undertone to them. Let's talk about the beef though. I had a medium rare skirt steak and I changed my side to asparagus spears. The meat was cooked slightly less than medium rare, but since they serve it cut and on a warm iron plate, it finished cooking itself towards medium rare right there and then, which I found superb. It was garnished with a sprig of rosemary on top which looked nice. The chimichurri was very good! It packed slightly more heat than what I am used to (in comparison to other chimi) but it was sensational. Nice place to go to for a quick meal as service is usually fast. We were out in an hour. Can get annoying parking-wise if the restaurant is full, but extremely enjoyable. read more

Kao Bar & Grill - Chicken and fries - Argentine Near Me - Hallandale Beach, Florida

So happy I was finally able to try this place! I am visiting from St. Augustine, and where I was staying was right down the street from here. I was first captivated by the decor and it's chic architect of being a container. The week I have been here I drove past it until Sunday I said let's go there! The lettuce pulled pork tacos captivated me: I ordered them and they were delicious! Bib lettuce is one of my fav's. The Mr. had the grilled lamb and it was cooked to perfection, very tender meat fell right off the bone. Same deal for the ribs appetizer. Fries were wedges and seasoned to perfection; so happy they weren't the skinny salty mcdonalds type fries. Everyone there was so friendly, all the staff were so welcoming, and warm. I honestly felt like I was back home (California). Nonetheless I found my spot when I am back again! I aso ordered a cappucinno with cinnamon and a brownie that came with vanilla ice cream. Let me just say I am not a sugar fan but this brownie was so good I was on the verge of ordering another one, only reason I didn't was because I got cut off. Haha. I did in fact order another cappuccino! A malbec was ordered $15 glass it was great, the non alcohic drinks for the littles was a blueberry lemonade and a passiom fruit lemonade both were super yummy and tangy! A ceasar salad $14 was ordered it came with bacon bits, crutons, and cheese the dressing was made in house and it was so good! Our bill total with tax was about $200 we did have two rounds of alcoholic drinks, two rounds of lemonade two rounds of coffee, dessert, an appetizer, and two entrees. It was fair. Ioved the coziness the decor and everything about our visit. We will be back! Thank you Kao Muchas Gracias por un buen tiempo! Kudos to our Waitress Nataly A she was amazing, patient, and attentive!

We stopped by this new spot in Hallandale for quick drinks , ended up staying for the dinner. We were initially there for happy hour but after seeing the fire bbq station outside , decided to tryout the food. The drinks were bogo, tasted refreshing. The presentation was on point too, I liked the extra details they had put in. For food we got sliders and rib to start then had the ribeye steak to share. The ribeye was so moist and tender and i loved the chimichurri sauce. We also hung out at the bar and there was live dj outside which was fun. The server was attentive as well , the bartenders seemed friendly. I'd definitely go back again. read more

I was quite disappointed with my experience. An example of photos look better than what actually is. First want to start with the service. The team is friendly but with zero sense of urgency. It took forever to get my order in and alone when you asked them for something else. The restaurant was not busy at all and a little bit more of attention will go a long way. Food wise, it was ok, nothing espetacular especially when comparing to other argentine restaurants. The food was lacking a bit of flavor and the meat looked more well done than medium. Ambiance was nice. There are outdoor and indoor options. All in all, did not live up to my expectation unfortunately. Was excited to see this restaurant while drive down the street. read more

We parked in a shopping center lot across the street I don't believe they have any parking No problem The entrance and outside bar adorable with some cute seating Then we entered the container and that's were we sat which was quite comfortable and air conditioned The service was not up to par , maybe not their fault but Appeared to be only one server and there were 4 tables occupied in the inside seating Took 20 minutes to get a glass of water And then we had to keep asking for it to be refilled The food looked and tasted delicious We had the Chicken Milanese and the Steak with mashed potatoes Will definitely try again , hopefully the service will match the food read more

In town to visit family and they mentioned this place had recently opened and they wanted to try. So of course I pull up Yelp and I noticed no reviews. so I thought perfect opportunity to try something new and have a review. Right away I loved the art of the place. Old containers turned into a restaurant with chill talcing vibe patio. The staff was very attentive and everyone was on point helping each other. The manager/partner was also making sure everyone and everything was moving smoothly. This isn't the first restaurant they open but it is the first concept of its kind. We ordered multiple items and everyone loved everything. It's all real ingredients and house made. Only thing not made in house is the ketchup. I highly recommend this place. Side note- a table came in and thought they could help themselves to a table. The manager kindly came and mentioned to them that the area had already been reserved for a large party and he would need them to move. The arrogance of the guy is unbelievable. He tells the manager I'll move when you buy me drinks. The manager kindly explained that had the issue been on the staff seating him there he would but they decided to seat themselves. He then jumps up and peacocks the manager and gives attitude. I love what happened next. Manager said there's no need for the confrontation and attitude and I kindly ask that you leave and not to worry about the bill. The tiny guy walks away flaring arms and then try's coming back to start a fight. The entire time the manager is cool and just keeps his stance on they helped themselves to a closed area and he was kindly asking them to move to another open area. This is how you handle people Thinning they are entitled. I command management. Very well handled and in a way to make sure not to create a scene and not yell and was always professional. read more

I've only been here for drinks and appetizers (to pre-game before an event at Club Tropical down the road), and was generally impressed by the vibe, the friendly/prompt service, and the fare. It has a sleeker atmosphere than most other options in the area and struck me as a good place for a date, but for one significant issue: on this particular night, at least, the DJ was playing music at an excessively loud volume, such that everyone around us was speaking in elevated tones to talk over it. This was a real detraction from an otherwise chill vibe, and it ultimately got uncomfortable to the point of us leaving a bit earlier than planned. I hope that Kao's managers read this and take note, as attention to this would elevate the establishment into 5* territory in my book. read more

My boyfriend and I walked into this new place and we thought it looked really cute from the outside. We only ordered 2 things because we were in a rush. We ordered the bbq lettuce tacos first. The pork tasted like it was marinated for 24 hours. It melted in your mouth. It was topped with picked onions and some sort of micro greens with a side of extra bbq sauce. Your palette will explode ! These are the best lettuce tacos I've ever tasted. Next, we ordered the prosciutto pizza was epic. It came with arugula, burrata , prosciutto, and a small tiny glaze of balsamic reduction. I will say , my first bite was a bit Salty with prosciutto and burrata. I took a second bite and had the arugula, burrata and balsamic reduction & it tasted better. I would order it again but ask for more balsamic reduction. The service was IMPECCABLE!! We had Eddie as our waiter and he told us that KAO has only been open for a month & that this restaurant took a more Argentinian feel. He made us feel really comfortable and welcome. Ask for Eddie ! The ambiance feels like a fine dining/ hipster joint. Feels like Hallendale is trying to become a little more like West Hollywood or Wynwood. I would come back to try more things for sure ! read more

We decided to give this restaurant a try, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. My husband ordered the chicken Milanesa, and after a long wait for our food, it arrived raw in the middle. RAW. We brought this to the server's attention, and while they apologized, it took another 20 minutes for them to bring out a properly cooked dish. Meanwhile, my own food sat on the table getting cold while we waited for his replacement meal. Mistakes happen, but the lack of urgency to fix the issue and the awkward timing really ruined the experience for us. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected much better quality and service. We won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Easily one of my new favorite spots to get a steak. Their churrasco skirt steak is amazingly juicy ,cooked to perfection, and very tasty. Within 2 bites i knew this was going to be the best skirt steak I've ever had. Thankfully there was plenty of steak too as per the 12 oz portion! The potato wedges were also good to compliment. I enjoyed their beef empanadas as well, and their salsa that comes with it makes the dish come together beautifully. The one thing I'm not a fan of is their inside seating, which quickly becomes extremely loud with other people in the room, making it very hard to talk without talking unusually loud. Their outside seating is not the best as it can sometimes be very cramped as they stuff tables in front and on the side of you. Despite that, I cannot wait to come back to their spectacular food! read more

These days it's hard to give away your hard earned money to places that lack value. Unfortunately, I don't think this place is positioning itself well with the surrounding restaurants. This place offers 16 oz non-prime steaks for $75 "to share". $7 miller light bottles, $20 Don Julio silver margaritas and basically a menu full of lunch items. The ambiance is nice, restaurant is nice, my only complaint here is the size of the tables. Literally tiny tables. TLDR: Food was average and overpriced Drinks expensive/average Restaurant is nice Tables are tiny, can't fit your legs Service was decent read more
