   Young lady that took our order was kind and attentive! Chef that cooked for us was very low key an quiet. We use to go for the fun of watching the Chef. Food was Ok, but just Ok. Oddly the restaurant was very empty. Left very underwhelmed.

   Dinner tasted great. The chef was friendly but kept the show to a minimum. Restrooms were beyond disgusting.

   I’ve never been so rushed at a restaurant in my life. From the hostess who insisted we get seated 10 minutes before our reservation, before our full party was there, and asked us to “order drinks and appetizers for the people not there yet” to the waitress who put our drink refills in TO-GO cups without us even asking, to the to go boxes that were brought to us before we finished eating. It was insanity. I will never go back.

   Overall quality of the food not that special. Salad is iceberg lettuse, soup clear broth with a slice of mushroom, white rice and by all very high in sodium.

   The reception by the hostess when I arrived was quite rude. Very curt and uninviting. The fumes when cooking hurt my lungs. Our chef was delightful. Good was good but nothing special.

    Went to celebrate my daughter's birthday and we had the best time! Our chef (Alfredo) was THE BEST chef we've ever had there. He made it a great night. Our server was also FANTASTIC. He was very attentive and just awesome. Can't wait to come back again.

    We tried to go on Monday night, arrived at 4:35, (open for dinner at 4:30pm), and were told that the wait was 2 1/2 hours. We were told we would get a text when our table was ready (so at least we didn’t have to wait in the restaurant for the entire time). We walked around the mall for 90 minutes, returned to Kanki to see if our table might be ready, and was told no. Asked how many people were ahead of us on the list, got a vague nondescript answer. It sounds as if they are so short staffed they are primarily taking guests with a reservation. So Monday night we went home, I made a reservation for Tuesday night at 5pm. When we returned Tuesday we were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. The waitress was initially wonderful, attentive, took our drink order then dinner orders, bussed the salad and soup dishes, then did not see her until the end of the meal when she brought the check and take-out boxes. The cook was phenomenal, and the food was fantastic!

    We had dinner there for my daughter’s 16th birthday. However, they were short on chefs so we had an unusually long wait time even though we had a reservation. Customer service was good. My daughter and her friends did enjoy themselves. We were just disappointed about the wait.

    They ran out of scallops. Never got a drink refill.. Calamari was cold. Soup was warm. And it felt like we were being rushed to leave to make room for other customers. Not sure if I’ll come back to this store

    I made reservations for 5 because I figured let’s eat early before the holiday diners ……. We should have left after the 25 mins we sat at the table while the whole staff walked by us multiple times with no acknowledgement. Only after I got up and walked to the host stand did we finally get greeted . Our server was fine once she came to the table , she was working hard , and did her best , but what an underwhelming experience. Food was alright , but that finesse just wasn’t there , and honestly I’ve had a stomachache since dining here. Will not return .

    Took us right back right our rez time, fabulous service! We had a great server and chef! It was our youngest child’s first experience and he had a blast. My oldest said that it was the best steak he ever had. Sushi was divine. So glad we made the trek back very there

    First I will say that the filet minon was delicious and our server was amazing. But that's where the good ends. I was surprised that a restaurant at that price point would be so messy, from the women's bathroom (which was horrendous) to the floors and the grill. When we first sat down there were crumbs on the grill, there was a mess on the floor under my chair, orange peel, rice, and other food, and there was a rag on the floor by the grill at a table near us. I was able to get someone to sweep under my chair right away. This is a small thing, but there was a water bottle in the wine cellar sitting among the bottles of wine. That took away from the classy look of the wine bottles. Last thing, there is a sign at the entrance that says something about saying "please and thank you". It faces the customer. I think it should face the staff as well.

    Server staff were not overly friendly. They forgot my plate setting and when I asked about it was told to ask my server who was nowhere to be found. One of the guests in our party asked multiple times for napkins, etc and were ignored. My kids did enjoy the experience as it was different but I wasn’t impressed.

    The waitress was not in it! We had two birthday guests at our table. No song, no sherbet. My daughter’s sushi had a hair in it. Had to wait for refills of water every time. Cook did no tricks at table, while we could see other cooks doing them. The food was good. It was just not the experience we’ve had in the past. Sad.
