Kawa Ni

Ok, where do I even start with this spot!? Highly recommend making a reservation because they book up fast. Like one of Westport's hottest restaurants right now! The decor is a lovely authentic izakaya with the wood paneling and everything. It's a beautiful homage to Japanese culture. Ok now menu. Lunch there is great but recommend going for the dinner menu over anything to have more options! The addictive cabbage is just as it says, addicting. It's acidic, savory and has the perfect crunch to it. The crab Rangoons are sooo good. They give you plenty of sauce and you can tell it's the good crab. The cold sesame noodles are perfect! A little bit of heat, a bunch of flavor. I'm drooling just thinking about it! The chili dumplings were good but a little too spicy for me! We also really enjoye

It was ok. The addictive Cabbage was fine to start. The roasted clams were a real shame. The topping had a weird too soft texture and there was too much of it covering the clam meat. The swordfish bao was very very good. The crab fried rice was tasty but I couldn't taste the crab. The ramen noodles were not springy and the broth was just ok. The service was prompt and perfect. the waiter even brought out a perfect pescatarian menu for my friend. Very nice people here. Edit: I forgot to mention, the food is probably perfect 10/10 if you're accustomed to salty food.

The food is incredible. The bar has a nice vibe with great selections. Every dish we had was unique and delicious. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here all the time.

The food was great, the drinks were fantastic, our server Nancy made the whole experience extra special!

Everything was perfect throughout this great experience and wonderful first time going to Kawa Nai. Food was delicious 🤤 especially the yuzu cheesecake so very yummy. Service was superb. Had like three servings of dumplings I wish I had more. Looking forward to going back in the near future.
