Kani House - Johns Creek

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at Kani House was so disappointing I felt compelled to warn others.

The food was downright terrible — bland, overcooked, and not remotely worth the price. We waited way too long to be seated and even longer for our food to arrive. To make matters worse, our plates and glassware were dirty, which is completely unacceptable at any restaurant.

The cherry on top? The management. Rude, dismissive, and clearly uninterested in making things right. For what they charge, you’d expect at least decent service and cleanliness. Sadly, Kani House fails on all fronts.

Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

We celebrated my kid’s preschool graduation here and had a fantastic time! The hibachi show was fun and kept everyone entertained, and the food was delicious. Great spot for family celebrations!

We took a group of 20+ family members to Kani House for a graduation celebration and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The service from James and team was amazing, the kids loved the hibachi show (Jordan was very entertaining), and the food was delicious and plentiful! Can't beat the value proposition that Kani House offers. Highly recommended!!

Really awesome place! Our chef was superb. Highly recommend for a group of 8-10 people. They made our Mother’s Day special!

Great food, superb customer service and phenomenal atmosphere.

Very disappointing.
Server was the worst.
I brought 6 people into dinner for a birthday. Seated at hibachi(slow night). Some of our orders were for bowls(apparently those are made in the kitchen). The server was complaining that we were basically taking up space and should have sat at diner. I requested to the host to sit anywhere from the beginning.
So the server and I had a lengthy argument.
Rest of the dinner the server was not paying much attention to us(still getting 20%tip due to size of party).
As the the food, sooo bland. Sushi had small pieces of fish rolled with too much rice. Dinner bowls full of rice with little protein.
The only positive of the evening was out cook. Did a great job entertaining us.
I should have taken pictures of food.
Usually I give them another try but not this time. Hopefully it changes for the better. Starting to see the same bad reviews lately

We got some sushi to go from this place when we were around the area and it was not good. Didn’t taste fresh and it broke apart easily, I couldn’t believe it.

Disappointing Experience at Kani House

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Kani House was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share. From the moment we walked in, the service was inattentive and disorganized. We were left waiting far too long for a server to even acknowledge us, and once we did get seated, it felt like we were being rushed through the meal with little regard for our experience.

The food didn’t do anything to redeem the situation. Everything tasted bland, overcooked, or overly greasy. The sushi rolls lacked freshness and fell apart easily, and the hibachi meal was drowned in sauce with hardly any flavor. It’s hard to enjoy your meal when you’re constantly wondering whether the kitchen or staff actually care about what they’re serving.

Overall, Kani House was a complete letdown. Poor service, mediocre food, and a chaotic atmosphere made this one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Definitely not coming back. Place is trash I’d rather go to McDonalds.

We had a celebration with our friends and family. We were 20 of us. The kids were excited about Hibachi style dinner, but it was such a disappointment. The service was so horrible and the servers were very rude and never came to ask for water refills or anything at all. I would never go back or recommend this place to anyone. We have been to the Mall of Georgia location and it is really nice.

We always attend the Buford location but since we were in the area, we stopped by. Staff were nice and attentive, food was delicious, and the place was clean. We enjoyed it. Erik, the bartender, made some good drinks for us.

We enjoyed the dinner, cook was entertaining & fun

Wonderful Habatchi !!!

We arrived and were seated around 6:30 on Saturday for hibachi. We ordered our food promptly, but our table waited over 50 minutes before being brought anything. Finally, around 7:20, we received our soup - not even by our own waitress. She was almost never present. I understand things are busy, but nobody even came by to get us refills. One boy asked for water, and it took over 30 minutes for him to get it.

Other hibachi groups arrived after us, and got served their drinks, appetizers, soups, and even food before we got the appetizers. Our food finally arrived at 7:35, and the man rushed to get all the food cooked at once. The table that arrived after us was already leaving before we got served our meat. The steaks were all cooked the same, regardless of what people ordered. One of us ordered medium well, and she got her meat almost raw. Again, I understand that restaurants can be busy, but other tables were getting served much faster than us by other servers.

Overall, we felt ignored and disregarded. The food was rushed and not cooked to quality. We barely had a show during the grilling portion. You won’t get to catch the meat with your mouth, see any egg flips, or witness any of the standard hibachi tricks here.

Great experience and very family-friendly! We had a reservation and were seated quickly. Our dinner was delicious and our server never made us feel rushed. Looking forward to our next visit.

Food was absolutely delicious, the hibachi chef was personable and friendly. Overall a great experience.
