The restaurant has a variety of menu options, including vegan-friendly dishes and a kids' menu.

Customers have praised the excellent service, with staff being attentive and kind. The service from the hostess to the servers is described as great, making visits memorable. The atmosphere is nice, adding to the overall experience.
Many guests find the sushi delicious, with large portions that often leave leftovers. The ginger dressing for salads is highly recommended and often called the best. The hibachi filet is noted for being very soft and tasty. Drinks are usually flavorful; however, some may not meet expectations. Visitors express excitement about returning to try different drinks or revisit favorite dishes. Overall, Kani House remains a popular choice for those seeking good food and friendly service in a cozy environment. Recent visitors have enjoyed the smoked salmon sashimi, Oceans Eleven roll, and Lobster roll, with one guest highlighting a custom salad and ceviche as must-tries.

The portions are hefty, offering a bargain similar to other dining experiences without the high prices.
