Came here for a birthday and was pleasantly surprised to find this place. Staff was friendly and very helpful asking for preferences and allergies for food prep. Ordered a Philly roll and the shrimp tempura roll as a app and it was decent. Had a bit too much rice as a wrap but still tasted fresh and delicious. Split a Banzai meal for the hibachi for the $5 upcharge and was well worth it. There was more than enough food that we ended up taking a near full box home. Rice was great and was fried with eggs and soy sauce and garlic butter giving it a great flavorful taste. Veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly. Shrimp was cooked with garlic butter and lemon and were on point. Really great taste. Steak ordered medium well was cooked perfectly and paired perfectly with the ginger sauce they offer. It was a NY Strip cut. Chef took care to remove the fat caps so the piece were not chewy at all. Chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Lastly the staff offered a rainbow sherbet for the birthday guests. It was a nice treat to freshen the plate as it was a lemon and orange flavor. Overall it was a great meal and this is easily my new fav spot for hibachi.

We have been going here for ages, consistently good food and entertainment as well , since covid though the "shows" have been shortened to make everything quicker, we were paying the bill and getting a box minutes after being served our food. Still I can't complain to much, in this environment they are still keeping staff and mostly the standards up. Book in advance, you may not need it but when khanki gets busy it gets BUSY. Anyone with a fear of fire should stay away as there are flashes of it all over during your meal. If you don't like the veg you can ask for double rice instead of those pesky healthy things. We will be back Edit: it's still a great place to visit but honestly the quality has dropped a little , still not bad but for the price increases its pushing it. Edit 2 may 24: things have improved a lot , the steak was beautiful, we will be back.

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our experience at Kanki. Our chef that cooked our food was amazing, funny & very experienced. The waiter was also very professional and she was very nice. The food was extremely good and flavorful. We enjoyed everything we had, the soup, salad, calamari, and our hibachi plate. The steak was extremely tender & well seasoned. Everything was great, we have to come back because we really enjoyed ourselves.

We came in 15 minutes before close and receptionist seated us with no issues. We were running late for an 11 year olds bday. Even though everyone left waiter still got employees together to sing a happy bday song. Atmosphere was super pleasant. Felt super bad for coming in late but hostess did not let it affect her service. Thanks for everything, we had a great time.

Love this place. Our cook was amazing. But we did not get an appetizer we ordered. Otherwise, a great meal.

Amazing place to eat, and the service was good for a Friday night. The staff was amazing we had the best hibachi griller I've experienced, he made a number 17 for my niece's birthday and made the heart beat for her. The atmosphere was wonderful and pleasurable. Due to my shellfish allergy, they cooked, my food in the back, and my family got to enjoy an amazing show. I would love to come back again on my travels.
