I have eaten at this restaurant infrequently but stopped for dinner on the way by the other night. I found it almost empty and most of the staff was distracted. Not sure why or if there was even a reason but it made me feel like I invaded someone else's party. The staff seemed to be enjoying there own company... More

We usually visit the Kani House at either the Mall of Ga or Cumming location. We decided to try the Dawsonville location. This was the worst experience that we have ever had at an hibachi. Service was horrible...rushed and inattentive. The chef was blah...no personality at all. He walked up, cooked the food, and then left. No fun jokes, special... More

We had a really enjoyable time at this hibachi. The waitress was very nice and paid lots of attention to us. The chef was good and had lots of things to keep the kids entertained. The food was delicious and the sushi had good presentation. The only disappointment was the wasabi rice because it came from the kitchen not warmed... More

Never going back! We used to love the place. We ate lunch there a few weeks ago, and diner tonight. Service was exceptionally poor both times. During our late lunch we ordered martinis (Absolute vodka) which tasted like water, we sent them back and the replacements were also weak; went to wine. Appetizers arrived after our soup and salad without... More

My wife and I decided to try Kani House after discovering that our usual Japanese steakhouse was closed Mondays. From the time we walked in and were greeted, to the time we left, the experience was wonderful. We were seated immediately at a hibachi table and were promptly given menus and drink orders taken. The excellent service continued throughout dinner... More

My family had lunch at Kani House. The food was excellent, one of the best Japanese steak houses that I've eaten at. The lunch prices were very reasonable. The entire family had a great time and really enjoyed the meal. My nephew is attending North Georgia University and I look forward to taking him to Kani House the next time... More

My wife and I decided to finally check out Kani House in Dawsonville. We moved here a couple of months ago and have not had time to get out much. My wife had Sushi and a glass of wine with miso soup and I had a dinner special with a Japanese beer. It came with a small salad and small... More

The food was good but not great. I had the sushi and it was fine, but the rolls were a bit light on the fish and heavy on the sauce. The rest of the group had the habachi. The "show" was the usual but with not as much enthusiasm as you would like. They had several empty tables but sat... More
