   We made reservations for a party of six to celebrate a couple of family birthdays on a Friday night. The two ladies at the hosting station were not very friendly and very non-communicative. Although we were on time for our reservation, we still had to wait about ten minutes and were not told anything about our status. We had to ask them two separate times what the hold up was or how much longer we would have to wait. Mind you, they were not very busy and there were plenty of open tables, not sure what the hold up was but neither host member openly communicated what was happening. We waited off to the side while they did nothing. Our waitress was just ok and rarely checked up on us. She disappeared for long periods of time which was annoying. We asked her for things and she forgot two different times and we would end up having to ask a separate employee (for example, we needed one more plate, needed more napkins, or needed more water). The only positive about our visit was our chef, MOZART!!! He. Was. Absolutely. Amazing.!!!!!! The best chef!!!! He turned our frown upside down and had us constantly entertained and laughing. He was such a joy and very energetic and you can tell he loves his job! The table next to us had such a boring chef who was barely interacting with his table so we were so glad to have gotten Mozart. I give him 1000/100 stars!

   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.

   Our waiter was the worse. We knew that the wait time for a cook was lo g being they only had 3 last night was cool our cook was amazing. The waiter was slow and left us unattended for lo ng periods of time which made a good time not so good.

   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.
