Kani Japanese & Thai — Restaurant in Town of Tonawanda

My husband and I had a very pleasant dinner at this establishment Sunday afternoon. We ordered Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, a Spicy Tuna Roll, Samosa with Sweet Chili Sauce, and the Grilled Beef Salad in house, along with Coffee and Thai Iced Coffee. The Satay was nicely grilled, but the Peanut Sauce with it made it absolutely delicious. The sauce was creamy, with bits of peanuts, and just the right amount of sweet and spicy. The Tuna Roll was impeccably fresh. Serve with soy, wasabi, and thinly sliced pickled ginger. The Samosa was good; crisp wrapper with chunks of veg. But the Grilled Beef Salad was INCREDIBLE! The perfection of Thai food; sweet, salty, bitter, spicy and savory. Thinly sliced beef, with onion, lemongrass, peppers, and chiles served with white rice and a wedge of iceberg lettuce. Our coffees were strong and delicious.

We also ordered several dishes to go. Which included, Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp, Basil Fried Rice with Chicken, and Pad Thai with Shrimp. We shared everything over the next couple of days, for the serving sizes are quite generous. In total, our bill was $102. The service was incredible, and the food overall was outstanding. I will most definitely look forward to visiting...

This place was amazing. It looks smaller than what it is, the inside was nice and warm. The staff was very nice, they greeted us right as we walked in and we had water and menus within seconds. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about their food as far as allergens go. I got the tom yum soup and the green curry. My husband go the fresh shrimp spring roll and the fried basil fish house special. Everything was very flavorful, I honestly couldn't believe it. I've had so many tom yum's, even while we were in Thailand, and this one, was one of the best I've ever had. The curry was just as flavorful and delicious. I wish I had a bigger stomach, so I could've eaten it all then, but I'm glad I don't, because I had enough for left overs! My husband loved his spring roll, he said it had plenty of shrimp in it and his entree was so good, he ate it all! He was very happy that our waiter recommended that dish and I'm so glad I talked him into coming here instead of where we normally go. If you haven't been here yet, please go. You won't be...

I placed a mobile order for pickup and ended up waiting over 10 minutes past the ready time. Every time I asked, I was told it would be “five minutes,” but it felt like dine-in customers were being prioritized over takeout. The cashier was as polite and helpful as he could be, so I don’t blame him.. seemed like the kitchen was the real hold-up. The waiting area also needs improvement. It’s uncomfortable sitting right next to people who are trying to enjoy their meals while you’re just stuck waiting. By the time I finally got my food (after about 15 minutes), I still had a 25-minute drive home, which made the whole experience not really worth it compared to closer and faster options. As for the food, the noodles were decent quality but lacked much flavor. The pork belly however, was amazing and tender. I do wish they had actual ramen takeout bowls rather than the regular round bowl, my broth was spilling out of the bowl when I ate my ramen.

Overall, I’d probably choose somewhere closer and...
