Our chef was not very interested in actually creating the hibachi experience! He was quite blase about what he was doing and not at all entertaining. We were seeing all the other tables being entertained quite handsomely with lots of fun and fire which we have come to expect here. It was a disappointing day for sure.

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.
