I recently celebrated my daughter’s birthday at Kanki and had a wonderful experience. The food was exceptional, with each dish cooked to perfection right in front of us. The hibachi chefs were not only skilled but also entertaining, making the meal enjoyable for everyone at our table. The service was prompt and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience that made my daughter’s birthday special. We look forward to returning soon!
