Kani House - Dawsonville - Dawsonville (GA)

1 /5 Cynthia Parker: 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.

5 /5 J Zap: 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.

5 /5 Dorothy Poor: Had an excellent dinner here for our anniversary. Always sit at the sushi barbecause they usually offer us yummy extras, like fried tuna belly, or mushrooms. Its more quiet at the bar and its fun to watch them make it in front of us. :)

4 /5 Buzz Bristol: 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.

5 /5 Andre Biggins: Kani House delivers some of the best food and dining experiences around. The menu is loaded with favorites—potstickers, dumplings, egg rolls, fresh sushi, and flavorful hibachi with chicken, shrimp, steak, and lobster. The fried rice and noodles are always cooked perfectly, and every dish is consistent in both quality and taste. Service is attentive, the atmosphere is lively, and the portions are generous. Whether it’s sushi or hibachi, Kani House sets the bar high for Japanese dining.
