   I was a little bit disappointed with this location. I must admit the Crabtree location is better.. also it has become extremely overpriced. Just moved from Wilmington where a similar hibachi steakhouse combination (shrimp and steak) includes the soup salad fried rice AND noodles for $26… at kanki it was $36 and was not as good. I hope they get back to where they once were…

   The food was okay, the cook had no personality what so ever. He barely said two words, everyone had to ask for sauce and drinks several times. The waitress rushed us to eat. I don’t think I’ll be going back to that location.

   Nice dinner option with excellent food, you'll share table if you want to be in the grill area so keep that in mind

    The service was terrible. 45 minutes for water. Mid-scheduled chefs. It was one of the top worst dining experiences in my life. Our chef was kind. But it was overall incredibly disappointing.

    I have always loved Kanki. Our server was great and very attentive. However, he got our orders incorrect but thankfully the chef asked and this was confirmed prior to cooking. Also, my steak was not cooked exactly as I had hoped but it was tasty. The shrimp were a little overcooked to me but still tasty. Lastly, they asked if anyone was celebrating anything special and it was my birthday. However, I thought you normally sing a song and provide sherbet but I was not given this. This was a little disappointing as well. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and the chef was great, food was very tasty, and the salad and soup was delicious as well.

    Compared to other Japanese Steak Houses that are similar in format, my experience at Kanki was okay. The food wasn't bad, but it was a bit on the bland side. The sushi is the exception to this. It was phenomenal! The chef was very skilled, but the experience of watching them cook was a bit of a let down compared to other places that show it up a bit more for the crowd. Our server was nice, but was more interested in interacting with the other family at our table than with us. We ended up sitting for about 10 minutes just waiting because they forgot our take home boxes, but brought the other family theirs. They also regularly brought the other family refills, but not us. The restaurant over all was beautiful. The host did do an excellent job of paying attention to our reservation request of sitting at the end of a table. And was very polite and helpful.

    DON'T GO HERE! We waited over and hour and a half ateatementaand had only received some watery soup/broth and warm iceberg lettuce. The manager told us they were short of help. That was an understatement. I've been before and it was great so I had no idea how bad it's become. The right thing would have been for the management to tell us it would be a couple hours and let us decide if we wanted to wait. We did not..........

    The chef didn’t put on any show let alone speak to the table. Very disappointed because you pay for that experience. Also, the veggies were still raw. It was like the chef just wanted to be done cooking. I will say the server was amazing though.

    The food was not seasoned properly. Ribeye was tough and the chicken wasn't cooked all the way through. Exorbitant prices with low quality food. So disappointing.

    If you don’t have a party of more than six, they will put strangers at your table and with everything going on right now you are subjected to other people germs and COVID exposure. They claim all restrictions are lifted, but this is crazy to restrict people to exposure.

    Service from wait staff and cook was really good. But taste and quality if food was mediocre. Restaurant was maybe 1/2 full but a lot of teppanyaki tables were closed. Probably due to lack of sufficient staff.
