    Kawa Ni is far and away the best restaurant in Fairfield County. I have been many times and the food never disappoints. My favorites are the tofu pockets, shaved broccoli salad, and karaage don. I also love the pork belly bahn mi, hamachi, creamy spicy tuna nigiri, and addictive cabbage. Still need to try the spicy lamb dan dan noodles. Ambience is perfect for any occasion (date, fun dinner with friends, special occasion). This place is a true gem.

    Perfect lunch to warm up on a chilly day. I dream about their broccoli salad and the soups were delicious and very generous portions.

    Staff is super attentive and so friendly. We had a child with us and unfortunately he fell of the bar stool and hit his head against the floor and the chair in the next table. He is ok and the staff came later on to ensure he was ok. I would suggest that in the future if you have a party with children, to best place them at the booth or lower tables for safety. Thank you!

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