Kaiika is the brainchild of Avi Rubin and Taiichi Fox.
After one particularly enjoyable and very convivial evening spent quaffing fine red wine, Avi and
Taiichi concluded that it would be fantastic if they could feast on genuine, quality sushi here in
Niue. Avi, the owner of Niue’s Monuina Fishing Company, already had access to the best fresh fish
caught here on the island (Monuina’s fish is of export quality, having been air-freighted to Japan
and Hawaii for the sashimi market) so sourcing the right fish would not be an issue.
Taiichi’s task was to find a great sushi chef. Being half Japanese and a seasoned world traveler
Taiichi had the necessary expertise and experience to accomplish this vital task. Kaiika’s
professional sushi chef has come to Niue all the way from Tokyo.
Avi’s and Taiichi’s vision was to use the freshest of local sea food and to complement this kai ika
with the importation of the sushi ingredients necessary to ensure an authentic taste. Our menu
was tested and refined over several evenings with our guest diners enthusiastically tasting and
scoring our menu.
NEW: Avi's Ark!

Avi’s and Taiichi’s vision was to use the freshest of local sea food and to complement this kai ika
with the importation of the sushi ingredients necessary to ensure an authentic taste. Our menu
was tested and refined over several evenings with our guest diners enthusiastically tasting and
scoring our menu.
Our mission is to present you with the best fresh fish, so our menu will vary from day to day
depending on our fishermen’s catch.
We have decided to trial our set menu as we would like our guests to enjoy sampling a variety
of dishes they may not tried before. Our menu will continue to evolve as we aim to provide a
perfect sushi dining experience with a Niuean touch.
Using your fingers to pick up and convey the sushi to your mouth will enhance your sensory
experience of eating the traditional Japanese way. We offer hand sanitizer so you can safely use
your fingers to touch, as well as taste, the sensual nature of our sushi.
We cater to a limited number of guests so we can serve you with style.
As we are still in the process of refining our menu any suggestions for improvement would be
appreciated.
Since we do not live on fish alone, we have procured ourselves a stone pizza oven so we can
offer you an appetizing alternative. You also have the choice of ordering freshly baked pizza
with flavor-some toppings
