Kanji Japanese Steakhouse Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    First off, I must say I was very disappointed by the lack of entrees that didn't include stir fry. Maybe it's just me, but I'm surprised that if you choose to sit in a regular booth that you are regulated to just eating sushi and appetizers? Maybe I was just confused by the menu, but I was craving some plain yakisoba noodles that required no grill. After that revelation, I was full prepared to give this place at most a 3, but after getting the veggie entree from the grill, I was highly impressed with the flavor. At most steakhouses, the chef simply douses all of the food with as much sauce as possible and hopes his fancy tricks will make you forget that you're eating a mound of salt. Well not this place. The food was seasoned perfectly which allowed for you to experiment with the garlic and ginger sauces without feeling as though you are going to have high blood pressure or hyper tension by the end of the meal. I don't usually suggest going to Japanese steakhouses unless I'm explicitly getting sushi or noodles, but this is the exception!

    Let me begin by saying that I'm generally not a huge fan of Japanese steakhouses. While I do enjoy the show, the food just isn't me. I'll eat it, it's pretty good, but I only go when someone else chooses to eat at one. That being said, this one is my favorite. My husband and I had heard good things so decided to give it a try. So glad that we did! Our first trip was fabulous. Our chef was super friendly and we enjoyed his company. He was personable and out on a fun show. The food was good, no complaints here. My husband (who loves Japanese steakhouses) said his was great. Our second trip was just as good. The place is nice, clean, has good food, and is friendly. I'd totally eat there again. It's not cheap, but it's a little less than the Columbus-area steakhouses that we have visited, and we actually enjoyed it more.

    Went and played Hookie without the kids and ended up in Heath. This place was rated 2nd in town and it is awesome. Chef was great. Food is way more than plenty full size lunch portions at great lunch prices. California roll was super fresh and tempura shrimp was very crunch. Just perfect. Steak and shrimp very tender. Yum yum is perfect.

    We love everything about Kanji. Their food is excellent, the service is spot on. We try to go for lunch because dinner can definitely get a little pricey. The beef and chicken is our favorite. Definitely try the ginger dressing for the salad and the yum yum cannot be duplicated! I've tried believe me. Oh, can't forget their soup! It is so simple but delicious. I would skip purchasing extra veg if you're considering it because whenever I have done this it really doesn't seem like I get much more than the normal serving so the cost is not worth it.

    Oh boy...where to start. We went to Kanji's this past Saturday evening, which is normally a fine establishment filled with great food and entertainment. It was 6pm, only one other table occupied. We were a table of 8, celebrating our family being together for the holidays for the first time in FIVE years! This has never happened before, but we had the WORST chef/entertainer EVER. His name was Ricky, and the extent of his entertainment was he threw rice at one of the two little girls, and spun an egg and said "egg roll." He looked annoyed, and argued with the eldest female at the table when an order was miscommunicated, and said "your plate, or you don't eat" to the furthest people from the table (which is never how it works). That was it. He asked twice if everything tasted good, but by then no one wanted to talk. He made the night quiet and uncomfortable. It's like we went to the kitchen and watched them prepare our $20 meals. Ricky did not smile once, and we were forced to watch other new tables have fun and be excited. I feel like I'm forgetting a ton of other mishaps, but that's all I can think at the moment. Everyone was looking at eachother like "what the heck is this guy's problem?" Ricky, we did nothing to warrant such poor service. The kids were disappointed. Grandma couldn't believe she paid $160 to get yelled at, and you didn't use all of the cool entertainment options that were on your cart (it was the kids who noticed that). You ruined our family dinner. You're there to create an experience, you didn't. You will talked about for years to come, because we won't be back on your account. Happy Holidays.

    This past time I stopped in for sushi things were different. I brought a friend from out of town along as we are both sushi fanatics. I had been bragging about this place for awhile and it sadly didn't deliver. My go-to favorite here is the spicy tuna and it didn't even look or taste remotely the same as it has in the past. It had some weird orange sauce on it. I was quite disappointed.

    I've eaten in several places in CBUS that can't touch this place. The flavor profile here is gingery garlicky and well prepared!

    To the two people who gave this place only 2 stars....I'm sorry if you had a bad experience. I did not. I thought it was a delightful experience! The main server was very friendly and our party of nine were sat soon after we arrived. The prices are not bad at all. I had the shrimp and scallops with fried rice, mushroom soup and a salad with ginger dressing. Our chef was very good at tossing the food around was very comical! He did a great job! It was my sister's birthday, so the wait-staff came out singing and gave her a pineapple birthday dessert. I was SO full by the time I left (and had to take half of my dinner in a box). This is Newark/Heath people....it's not L.A. or New York City...so don't come expecting that! But for being a Japanese steakhouse, I was impressed and would definately be back!!

    Really good sushi. I had the steak and shrimp for dinner. Nice job by the table chef. Steak was pretty good. Shrimp was average. Great atmosphere. Will definitely go back soon.

    This is a nice, quiet Japanese restaurant in Newark, OH. I like the sushi here.

    New to the area, and overshadowed by the mall culture around it... Kanji is another addition to the culinary offerings in the Newark/Heath area that leaves you, ultimately, rather unsatisfied In my estimation, all Hibachi restaurants are pretty much the same: Hibachi, throw rice on a grill with some veggies, cook up some seafood, poultry, or steak and plate them elegantly with a 200% upcharge for tableside presentation. Truly, the only thing that differentiates these particular establishments are decor and the chefs' personality and skills. Neither one of these particular things is really up to par at Kanji. Sure, the decor is great in the waiting area: bamboo leaves drape the wall and running water provides some nice, settling white noise. The inside leaves a lot to be desired however, with walls that are taupe and devoid of pictures. Our chef, a man who claimed to be the head/exec chef at the place, was a nice fellow: singing renditions of Elvis tunes to my friends and even giving them flack for ordering a steak Well-Done (something I have wanted to do on numerous occasions), but he didn't really know when to quit: After asking where we were from, he commented that he knew a girl from that area and had had a sexual fling with her. ..uh, yeah, when you're cooking my fish... I don't wanna hear about your sex life... unwanted correlations happen. I'm just saying. In their defense, it's a new place and they are probably adding decor little by little. The hibachi is mediocre (I would have liked Miso as a pre-course soup rather than Udon) and the sushi is bland (sticky rice was a tad TOO sticky). Personally, if you're really in the mood for a Japanese steakhouse. Save up your money and check out Genji or the one near North Market whose name is escaping me at the moment... you'll be glad you did.

    We always ask for Shorty or Jing (I think that is how it is pronounced). As long as you get either of them, you're good to go.
