This is one of my favorite restaurants. Obvious excellence, with a minimum of pretension, and a fresh take (at least to me) of a Japanese-American dining experience.

Loved the new burger! As always the food was great-shaved broccoli is always perfect but the service is even better. Melissa is an efficient server and has a wonderful calmness about her that fits with the restaurant. My favorite place to eat in Westport and we will return again and again.

Kawa Ni is my favorite restaurant in Westport . The broccoli salad is outstanding and easily enough for two. The sashimi is top shelf and I cant live without the crab rangoons. The ramen is excellent as well, Something for everyone here. It hets packed on the weekend, but they usually have room at the bar for walk ins.
