    The food was good but very heavy. Service was good - the waiters were attentive and food arrived relatively quickly. There was a gong that they would hit every time someone ordered a Sake Bomb and so that was somewhat annoying. Some more salad options would have been nice. Sake menu was not extensive.

    I had put myself on a “notify me” alert earlier in the week when I realized I had no plans for the weekend, and hadn’t been to Kawa Ni in awhile and so wanted to go. Around 4:00 on Saturday I was alerted that I had a table at 6 pm if I wanted. YES!!! We had prompt and attentive service, warm welcomes from everyone. The cocktails are so fresh and delicious I had to have two. We shared the red cabbage salad with pear, the shaved broccoli salad, the Scallop Tamaki, the chicken Bao Buns and the Tofu pockets. ALL DELICIOUS!!!! I love the vibe here and food is special as it combines spices and flavors in ways I would not consider concocting at home. Truly a perfect night.

    Best Japanese in Fairfield County. Fall off the bone ribs, bao bun assortment, great noodle dishes, and great cocktails.

    Spectacular food tonight! The Edamame with truffle butter was amazing. The Cabbage Salad is insanely good - best salad I have ever tried. We are addicted and will return (next week!)

    The Szechuan Pork Dumpling were delicious and very spicy. I didn’t know I could ask for it on the side but you can since my mouth was on fire. Had the Pork Belly Ramen Noodle and it was divine. Overall food was plenty, fresh and delicious and arrive was superb. Would definitely come again.

    We truly enjoy Kawa Ni - we've gone several times. The food is always fresh and delicious. They also have some menu items that are not typically offered in the area. Today, our server Josh was fantastic and not only did what servers are expected to do, but he was more attentive and made the effort to exceed expectations. Reservations are recommended, but you may get lucky as a walk-in if a party of two with an open table or the bar if they're booked. Reservations can be made with OpenTable, but if booked, call as sometimes you can get a table.
