Overall positive experience, the food is always good and the staff is typically friendly. I will say I wish they would remodel the bathrooms and do something about the floor being so slick.

With that being said, if you’re looking for a good Japanese style restaurant, you shouldn’t be disappointed.

This has been my go to for my birthday celebration dinner almost every year. I'm not sure what happened to this place. It was not a great experience last night as it usually is. Our waiter had zero personality, did not even greet us. The whole hibachi experience is supposed to be entertaining. This was everything but that. I ordered fillet, medium, rare and scallops. I watched as my dinner incinerated as he continued to cook it forever. As I expected, it was leather when it came to my plate. He didn't acknowledge anything and just cleaned up the grill. My scallops were also so buttery and overcooked. Everyone's steak was overcooked, but mine was the worst.This chef should not be put in a hibachi situation because he could not handle seven people and our different orders well. I had to flag down someone to come and see my steak. They said they would replace it and came back with a small portion of steak that didn't resemble the fillet that was initially delivered. On top of that, there were so few vegetables that there might as well not be any. We were not checked on with refills on drinks. We had to chase someone down to get another drink.This is my last visit to this restaurant. There's no point in going out and my family spending this much money on a dinner and entertainment that is so disappointing.

I had sushi, which is always good at Kani House. My wife had her usual, the filet fried rice and it was good also. Always friendly and fast.

I have taken my family to Kani House every time we’re in North Georgia for the past 10 years. The staff recognizes us and we love having our chopsticks on the wall behind the sushi bar.

I highly recommend the bento box. It comes with soup, salad, a sushi roll, meat, rice, edamame, veggies, tempura shrimp and sweet potato. A lot of food for the price.

Consistently great food and service. We’re always happy as we walk out.

The food was very delicious. We had a birthday party at the grill station and our server was very enjoyable and energetic. I had the Galbi and Sukiyoki with fried rice. It also came with a side of mushroom soup and house salad. The teriyaki seasoning really complimented the vegetables.
And the yum yum sauce was the cherry on top.
Overall the food was great and it was great for a birthday. Would probably come back in a group but not by myself.

My fiance and I love Kani House so much! We love sushi and tried this spot a couple of years ago, whenever we're wanting a sushi date, this is our first thought and it is always amazing. We always walk right in without an appointment normally for lunch time and we sit down in a booth and get ourselves some sushi, I love the -- I think it's called -- Sea Dragon Roll!!! It has eel on top and it's just really good. They make them all so fresh, I love the miso soup and salad as well that comes with the food if you order a certain $$ # of sushi! I 100% recommend checking out this sushi spot!!!

Had a horrible time here and do NOT recommend. We went for what was supposed to be a fun night out and ended up leaving creeped out and disgusted. Our hibachi chef was clearly impaired in some way, which affected both his cooking and his behavior. He repeatedly called my friend babygirl and kept asking where he could see us after, completely inappropriate and uncomfortable.

He also set our food on fire four separate times (not the fun volcano trick — actual flames on our plate). Our rice was burnt, crispy, and basically inedible. I asked for my steak to be medium and it came out well done. He could not figure out how to portion out the food, giving one person a whole plate of rice and the next getting a little sliver. He also liked to spray yum yum sauce everywhere EXCEPT our plates. Overall, the entire experience was chaotic and unsettling.

The only positive was that the manager was understanding when we brought up our concerns. But something was NOT right here. Very weird vibes and definitely not worth the money or the discomfort.
