Excellent chef. Loved that only 3 other couples were seated at our table. Great Valentine's Day lunch! My first visit. Would definitely return. Easy parking.

Services was not hitting on much. No refills. Cook was good but not much of a show as other tables. Over all still good food, price is getting out of hand.

We always enjoy coming to Kanki- dinner and a show. The waiter was super attentive and kind. The chef was talented, not aggressive or too loud. I really appreciated his culinary skills- rice was a bit crispy, shrimp was cooked to perfection and the chicken was seasoned right and moist. The steak is too thin but our guests like it but I think shrimp or chicken are a better choice. We had the edamame while we waited for the show to begin.

My family came from Illinois and it was very disappointing. All we got to eat was appetizers which were very good. After waiting an hour to be seated at the hibachi we waited another hour and fifteen minutes without a chef or food. We had to leave. Got there at 6:30 and left at 8:47. Seemed understaffed but the food looked amazing. Wish we would have gotten to find out.

I am a regular at Kanki. It is my family’s go to place for birthdays and get together. The service is always the same and by that I mean great. The food is always the same, which is also great. The chef is always great and the server is super attentive. Lots of places changed their quality of service and food during and after COVID, I am happy to say that Kanki is not one of those places. They enacted a lot of protective measures during Covid and I know I can always count on it being consistent. Thank you so much!!!

Fun and delicious as usual. The one thing I will say is that it was obvious that some of the chefs are “more fun” than others. We could hear a lot of laughs and see a much more elaborate show at the next table over. Seems like some of the chefs could use a little more “showmanship”.
