    What a fantastic decision! We were in a bit of a rush to get to our next adventure, and with long lines at other restaurants in Buena Vista, we decided to give Kawa a try. The food is absolutely terrific--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We had the chicken tikka masala, and I can honestly say it might be the best I've ever had. (Be sure to order the naan, too!) This place deserves a line out the door! Don't make our mistake and pass this one by--Kawa is a must-visit for anyone looking for incredible food in Buena Vista.

    Vindalo and the korma. Birani rice was excellent.

    Pretty good Indian food! The guy working was super nice and had a good vibe. I'd recommend it.

The ambience is very nice. It is open and bright and clean and Asian. They also had a case of desserts (like tiramisu) and ice cream. I've been going to Fairplay for years. I never stopped here because I didn't know what it would be like. Well let me tell you, the service could not have been better. Welcoming, efficient, readily able to make requested adjustments to dishes. There are many items on the menu to choose from. We had tofu and vegetables sesame chicken. Both were just so amazingly delicious. I actually find myself thinking of finding an excuse to go back to FairPlay so I can get such wonderful food again because in my area it's hard to find such good Asian food. I cannot recommend this place enough. It checked all of the boxes and then some. The only downside is there are no lunch specials but I felt like the food was worth every penny we paid.

No soft ice cream I felt like things were going to go downhill from there but, fortunately it didn't. Truth be told, we've been coming here since Covid so it's ok just a lot of negativity up front. Simple menu and decent service punctuate the odd cross section of ice cream, hard only and Asian fusion food. We were hungry campers so we took it all in stride...plenty of seating and quick service. We had the edamame, the crab Rangoon which is minus crab but seems to have Rangoon sauce and the fried gyoza which were yummy. There were five of us and their one cook churned it out in rapid fire order. Cashew chicken was 4 stars Thais chicken basil was 4 stars ChicKen pad Thai was 3 stars Onion chicken dish was 5 stars Sweet and Sour chicken was around 4 stars Strawberry ice cream was $4/scoop. But very tasty.

    This is about as good as it gets in Gunnison, and that's saying quite a bit because there are…read moreseveral very nice restaurants here. The wine list is very nice, and you won't break the bank -- especially at happy hour, with two dollars off each glass of wine between 5 and 7 PM. We had the House Malbec, from Mendoza, Argentina, and it had a delicious flavor and aroma. It was a full bodied and smooth, dark red offering. For an appetizer, we had the Shishati grilled peppers with pesto/cilantro sauce, and they were just fantastic. They are mild, nicely grilled, and beautifully presented. It is served as an appetizer, but please be warned, one out of every nine peppers is exceedingly hot. We had about 12 peppers, and all of them were mild, so we beat the odds! I've had hamburgers all over the world, and I can honestly say I have not had a better cheeseburger than I got right here from the menu at Blackstock. It's in a traditional bun, lightly toasted, with tempura, onion, cracked pepper, mayo, Tabasco, candied and smoked bacon, and it is served with Hand-cut fries. You can add guacamole for a dollar, or blue cheese or Gruyere cheese for another dollar. But I did not add a thing; it was perfect as it came out of the kitchen for me! You will be asked how you want your hamburger cooked, and I chose medium. It could not have been better! It's on the menu at a very fair $21 including your hand-cut fries. My lovely dinner-date had the petite filet mignon, a 5-ounce offering of spectacular steak, served with goat cheese, potato croquettes, asparagus, stewed shallots, served with a Cabernet Demi glaze at $45. It was a large serving, I believe bigger than 5 ounces, because we are taking half of it home in a to-go box! Again, the food was spectacular... really good. We will finish with the flourless chocolate torte, serve with whipped cream and Amarina dark cherries at $11. If I was a betting man, I'd say you're gonna love this place! Take a few pictures, do what I did, and leave a review, because more people need to know the quality of food coming out of this little storefront on a busy street in Gunnison! And if you ask for Danielle, be advised, he's a great server and you will get exactly what you need! He's very attentive, and charming.

We ordered a few sushi rolls, a bento dinner box, and a Thai iced tea. When everything arrived, all of the sushi had been packed together and was completely smushed, so instead of everyone enjoying their own rolls, we had to pick through each other's food. It wasn't presented well at all. The sushi itself was about a 2/10. The cuts of fish weren't very good, the rolls were falling apart, and the quality just wasn't there. The bento dinner was honestly disappointing. The salmon was very dry, and the vegetable spring roll was undercooked and inedible. Just look at the picture, that is not $21 worth of food, so disappointed! Even the Thai iced tea wasn't sweet. We spent close to $200, so we expected much better quality and care. We hate leaving negative reviews, but this meal simply wasn't worth the price. Unfortunately, we wouldn't order again.

It looks creative in a way that they combine two different cuisines and cultures (Vietnamese and Japanese to say it exact) and yet what they came up with is nothing but a tourist trap place that lacks authenticity. It's on the second floor of a building. The restaurant is clean and spacious with ample tables and chairs. Since we were there well outside of the busy lunch hour, we got the employees' undue attention. And they were quite welcoming and friendly. The food? Meh. Everything we got lacked the true authenticity. -Lunch Nigiri: The four nigiris simply didn't look fresh. Fortunately however, they didn't taste bad. And yet the overall quality was mediocre at best. This combo plate came with a salad and a soup (called Japanese soup). The salad was the worst out of all where it looked and tasted old and stale. And the soup? It wasn't a miso soup. It's a clear broth soup. But my question was, "What's Japanese about it anyway?" -Agedashi tofu: They really need to work on the "presentation" more. This skimpy looking dish simply didn't look good. It surprisingly didn't taste bad but it failed to impress us. Another mediocre dish. -Thai tea with boba: My daughter didn't care for it at all. I took a sip of it. It tasted a bit too bitter where the tea appeared to have been over-brewed. Yikes! The three stars might be a bit too much of an inflated assessment. And yet I appreciated the friendliness of the employees so 1 additional star is the manifestation of my sincere gratitude to them.
