We had a reservation for 9 people. There were only 3 tables total. It took over 40 min for someone to take our drink order, then another 30 before they took our order it was an hour and a half before we even got food. We just sat at the table the entire time. The whole thing took over 3 hours, it was awful. I got up 4 diff times to get drinks, or silverware, etc.

This used to be the best place to have a great and filling meal, now not so much. -server was super slow, was checked on 1 time after drinks were delivered. Soup and salad came after the chef started at our table. -food servings have been drastically reduced. The shrimp “appetizer was hilarious. My husband even told the chef that the shrimp were looking pretty puny; the chef didn’t even acknowledge his comment. - the food itself wasn’t great. My entree was overcooked and tough and the rice and veggies were pretty bland and tasteless. For a family of 5 adults spending more than $200 without tip, they need to do better.

Review: 4/5 Stars Overall, we had a great night at Kanki. The atmosphere was fun, and the food was really good—especially once the cook got started. He was very entertaining and made the experience enjoyable for everyone at the table. However, it did take almost an hour before a cook was assigned to our table, which felt too long. My salad had way too much ranch dressing, and the soup wasn’t hot when it arrived. Our waiter was okay, but it took a while for her to check in on drink refills. Despite the slow start and a few minor issues, the hibachi experience and the food made up for it. I’d come back, but I hope the service is a bit more prompt next time.

Even though we had a reservation we had to wait about 20 minutes while we waited on an available chef. Once we were seated the service was great and our chef was personable and our food was good.

Service was terrible. Got drinks after 15 minutes and never again. Everyone had empty drinks before the chef came to the table. He never returned to offer us refills or second orders from the bar.
