Really good food and good vibe. I had the pork and garlic ramen and the seasoning is just perfect, you can taste all ingredients. Size is fair. A little bit pricey though.

No doubt I’ll be back! Kawa Ni was the perfect lunch spot for a refreshingly delicious bite. The salmon temaki couldn’t be any fresher. Their take on crab ragoons left me speechless and I wished I had ordered them too! My main course was the Dan Dan noodles and I couldn’t believe how delicious the lamb was. This is will my spot any and every time I’m in the area.

Delicious! Fun take on japanese food with some other Asian influences. Got the crab Rangoon, confit ribs, chicken wings, scallop nigiri, and trout mazemen. All were yummy.

I have ordered 90% of the menu and have never once been disappointed. I would consider this to be one of the best craft Asian restaurants in Westport. The staff and chefs know the food and drinks to easily match your preferred taste at and the bartender will either whip up a drink or provide a tasting of saki so you do not order something you don’t want to enjoy. I personally order 4 apps for my entire meal (2 for appetizer, 2 for entree) as I have serious fomo if I only order an 1 entree. Everything is so good. The atmosphere is amazing as well. Make sure to visit in the warmer months when the rooftop overlooking the river is open!

The menu is very interesting. The chef has a lot of ideas and uses various ingredients. But generally the seasoning is too strong and not balanced well. It is too sweet and too salty. The duck on the noodles are quite stinky…

Asian tapas, and high quality cocktails with attentive waitstaff was a wonderful experience. The Bahn Mi is sublime. I have been thinking about the sandwich ever since the last bite. The one knock is the place is small and a little cramped, and because it is so damn good it is hard to get a table. Made a reservation a month in advance for a Friday at 7, but well worth the wait.

Food itself was good and cute view onto the river, but this place was annoying to reserve seating (by phone only, no more than a week in advance, during their open hours). Food came in take away containers even though we were dining in, no doubt a COVID19 thing. For the premium price point, not to mention the 23% gratuity that they automatically put on the bill (and they ask for more), I can’t say that I’d be desperate to go back.
