    I can’t say enough about this restaurant. Hands down the best in Fairfield County, CT and rivals restaurants anywhere else.

    The food is consistently great. One dish is better than the next. The shaved broccolit salad, Hamachi, ribs andn Pork Bahn Mi were all utstanding. And the cocktails deserve a shout out as well. Haven't been in a while and looking forward to coming back again. We forget how much we love the food.

    Yet another wonderful visit for us to Kawa Ni this evening. The food was, as usual, fantastic. Drinks as well (try the Sumoki), and the music (playlist+volume level) was great. Service excellent as well. We frequent Kawa Ni often and will continue to. A gem for Westport for sure.

    We were seated 45 minutes late and then rushed to order and rushed to leave. Our reservation was at 7:30, we were seated at 8:15, order taken at 8:30 and then rushed thru dinner. Service was at its worst. We also over ordered following the suggestion of waitstaff. Been coming here for almost 6 years and haven’t experienced like this before.
