Some of the best food spots are hidden in the most unexpected places, and Kai’s Kitchen might be one of them.

Tucked away in an industrial yard near Gold Coast Marina, Kai’s Kitchen has earned an impressive 4.8-star Google rating from hundreds of reviews. After so many of you told us that industrial-estate bakeries are where you find the best Aussie pies, we finally decided to put that theory to the test.

For this Gold Coast food review, we tried Kai’s Kitchen’s steak and pepper pie, their speciality butter chicken pie, a sausage roll and a Weet-Bix slice for something sweet.

We’ve already tried some seriously good Australian pies and sausage rolls at places including Little Kiwi Bakehouse and Yatala Pies, so this gave us the perfect chance to compare Kai’s Kitchen against some of our favourites.

Can a butter chicken filling really work inside an Aussie meat pie? How does their steak and pepper pie compare with the best we’ve tried so far? And is this hidden industrial-estate bakery worth pulling off the highway for?

No spoilers here; you’ll have to watch to find out where Kai’s Kitchen ranks.
