The server person added $10 to his tip made it $15. So basically he stole from me so I had to call the restaurant and get my $10 back on my receipt. The manager in charge gave me the whole $15 back. What he did was he put a one in front of the five and made out of $15 tip and turn to three into an eight on the amountNever will ever again that this person waited on me again. The food was great. The atmosphere was great but the server stole money from me

We have always ordered orange chicken; however today it tastes like sweet and sour chicken…it does have orange slice on bottom of chicken, plus the chicken is extremely plentiful in fried batter with no chicken!

We had some issues at the Habachi grill. This was a $100 dinner! First, our soups were lukewarm. Not cold, but definitely not hot.Next, my wife and I both ordered the filet mignon, which was more than the menu priced steaks. Mine was ordered Medium, my wife's, MW.When the un-prepped food arrived, our cook mixed all of the steaks together; the filets with the strips. When they were finally served, he had left mine (Medium) on the grill with my wife's (MW).Why should I have to pay for overcooked steak that was served to someone else???The cook was obviously too taken with the teenage girl sitting at our table, and less concerned with customers who actually pay for their meals.1. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO KAWAS!2. WE WILL RELAY THIS INFO TO EVERY PERSON WE KNOW IN TYLER!3. EVEN WITH PERFECT SERVICE, THIS MEAL ISN'T WORTH $100.00.

Always fun whether we do hibachi or dining room. Usually pretty crowded but one of the few restaurants that still take reservations.

Waitress was rude ? didn't keep drinks refilled. Told her the miso soup was extremely salty. She took it away but didn't offer anything other soup in its place. Taste if food was mediocre. Not as good as in past. It was not a good birthday visit for $200.

This is the worst service ever I gave them my phone number twice and they still got it wrong. I waited over a hour and then when I went to the front desk. They claim they called me but it was still the wrong number. I was told a 30 minute wait and it was 10 names after my name that was served. Bovie Chen was rude and I will never come back to this establishment. It was the worst service I have ever had from a lady that call herself the owner!!!

First time at Kawa's was great! The food was fabulous, the service was spectacular and the place was very clean and inviting. I recommend the seaweed salad to go with your meal. It is really fresh and delicious. I had the Jalapeño Chicken. It was fantastic. The portions really surprised me. Everyone was leaving with a to go box. We will definitely be going back!

This was an absolute disaster. We had a big party to celebrate a birthday, and we will NEVER come back. The ventahoods did not work, everyone was coughing eyes were watering. When we made the owner aware of the situation she acted like it was no big deal. The chef that was cooking for us was even having issues. DO NOT EAT HERE. This is one of the worst experiences we have ever had at a restaraunt. The service from our waitress was less than par aswell. All out waste of money.
Not my thing, Kung Pao chicken was not that great, I'm giving 3 stars because my wife and kids like the sushi rolls, and they have a very clean and beautiful facility and really good service.

Kawa's is Hibachi style food done extremely well. There are places that also serve Hibachi styled food in the area that simply...don't compare. Great quality food, excellent atmosphere, decent sized portions, and wonderful service. Perfect place for outings such as Birthdays, Celebrations, and (if you like it intimate) dinner Dates. We frequent the place more often than not, and it never disappoints. 5/5 Stars.

The hibachi chef was great. The lunch specials are priced right.Dietary restrictions: They were very accommodating to my mushroom allergy.
