Kanki - Durham

Had a great time at lunch today! The cook Ricky was very fun and funny! The food was delicious and our server Chandler attentive!

The food is great, the people are great, the staffing is horrendous. We waited one hour before we got any service or appetizers and then it was almost another hour before we got our actual meal as we were waiting for a chef to become available. The restaurant was not at all busy so possibly just routinely understaffed. Once we
Got service and food it was very tasty but sadly waiting two hours for food is just unacceptable. Hopefully they change management because our server and chef were great

Good sushi, decent hibachi grill. The wait can be long in spite of having empty tables. Plus, it's not at all inexpensive. Not a lot of bang for the buck. That said, if you are lucky and get a good chef, it can be very entertaining but that is far from guaranteed. Most chefs are in robo mode, going through the checklist of motions. It's been a long time since I saw an actual Japanese chef there.

Best Hibachi

Not only is the food phenomenal, the entertainment by the chefs is unmatched.

Even a quiet lunch was turned into a VIP Show. My son was already getting a nice treat, but the fact that the cheif (I wish I remembered his name) was beyond personal to my son, and even the wait staff, catered to him. It was an incredible experience.

My wife and I have on many occasions eaten here alone, for dinner or lunch, and we are always impressed by the food and service.

Best Japanese Steakhouse I've ever been to. Beautiful decor. Hibachi Shrimp was tender and very flavorful. Hibachi Chicken was also good. Soup was the best I've had. Portion sizes were large and a to go box was needed. Our chef was entertaining and engaging. Would definitely eat here again if in the area.
