    GRILLED ATLANTIC SALMON
    Julisa H.

    Went to Kanu for Sunday brunch, did a reservation for 3 and we sat at the bar at 2 pm. We chose the bar because the chairs do not have back support at the tables and I don't like to be hunched over lol. Let's start with the good things ...the music is good! The playlist and the Dj who came around 3:30-4 really carries the experience. The service is okay and the food comes out slow. We ordered off of the regular menu and were not impressed with anything. Other patrons were also so/so with their reactions to the food. Drinks were okay we opted out for cocktails and not bottomless and it was strong but meh on the flavor. I would go back for the vibes and music not so much anything else.

    KAN WINGS
    Yani O.

    First and foremost the garlic Parmesan wings were top 5 I've ever had. PERIOD! Okay, now the space was super cute and nicely decorated with a grass photo wall and mirror art. There's an outdoor seating area as well. The drinks were okay, but the food is really the star here. We ordered the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes, oxtail with rice and peas, shrimp Cesar salad, coconut shrimp with mac and cheese and lastly truffle fries. The best ones were the shrimp salad, Mac and cheese and again the wings. They were so juicy and thick and crunchy all at the same time. The Mac and Cheese was ooey gooey, flavorful and had a great top crunchy layer on top. I was super full afterwards but was thinking about ordering the wings again just because lol . Definitely recommend for a solid meal. It's cute for a date night vibe, or friends outing. They were playing good music too which is always a plus.

    This is my 2nd time at this restaurant. It was just as good as the first time. This is a good spot for happy hour. It has good vibes and good music. I ordered 10 wigs with a choice of every 5 sets of wings in a different flavor. I also got the beef tacos. They were good but I mistakenly thought they were going to be steak so I wasn't pleased when I bit into ground beef (that's my fault). I also got the fried rice. It was good but it was a little too moist for my liking but I was hungry so i ate it with no complaints. My only complaint is that I kept having to ask for water & the waiter took long. She seemed to be the only person waiting on tables so I understood the delay but I was very parched. Would return

    Great food and good drinks. Always a vibe in here when I go. They also have hookah as well. Could be a little hectic some nights to get seated but that's to be expected in a spot like this. Overall will be returning

    This is the server... avoid her. And watch the clip of her enjoying hookah at the bar and ignoring us

    Horrible... this is my second time coming. Not only did a server put her hands in my face and my sister had to step in, no one cleaned my table and when asked the busboy said he was "busy". Our waitress was at the bar doing hookah instead of taking orders and the manager said there was nothing she could do... so many problems on so many levels. Avoid this bar

    Love flavored for the hookah.

    It was our first time going to this place last night. We were a group of 7. This place did not disappoint at all. We were greeted by a great server named Jaz. She was friendly and got us searing fast. We had pitchers of drinks and it was great. I would definitely go back as they definitely knew the throwbacks when the DJ was there.

    Been wanting to come here for awhile, mostly for brunch. Decided to come for happy hour after work because I wasn't too far away. It was a Thursday and it wasn't packed at all. Just a few people at the bar. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was laid back. I took advantage of the two for 1 drink special, and both of my drinks were strong but good. The coconut margarita was my favorite. I decided to try to out the fish tacos and the wings. The fish tacos were just okay. I ended up just eating the fish out of the taco. I wish the tortilla was warmed a little bit more. The wings were actually good, but there was way too much sauce for my liking. The music was good, and the vibe was calm. I would consider coming back for brunch or for a evening/night vibe.

    a menu for a happy hour

    Birthday Tour.... Happy Hour Stop! Came here for the happy hour part to my bday celebration. Happy hour is 4-8, we arrived around 7pm on a Wednesday evening. Besides the 3 patrons at the bar we were the only ones actually seated at a table. That was confusing because their IG makes Kanu appear to always be lively. Being that it was empty I just knew the service would be A1..... I was wrong. When our waitress came over we had several questions about the menu. First the main menu states Happy hour is 4-7 but the happy hour menu on the table states 4-8. After asking the manager he adhered to the 4-8. We asked what the Veggie delight includes but she didn't know.... For all menu questions she didn't know the answer and had to go to the kitchen to ask the chef. My friend decided on the Vegan Delight for her entree and I had the Braised Oxtail. The food is GOOD!!! That is their saving grace. Although I wasn't found of their calamari the side of Mac n cheese that was ordered was yummy. Our waitress checked in 2 times, after that she disappeared. When we were ready to go the process of getting our check, paying and getting the receipt took 30 minutes. My experience wasn't horrible but there's surely room for improvement from a service perspective.

    Looking for a bottomless brunch in Harlem . This is the place to go . Dj spins at 8 but the playlist has the vibes Bartenders Anissa and Tiffany were amazing . Drinks sting but tasty And the foooood You you take something extra to go Make sure you tell Moses the owner hello Must go !

    Shrimp taco yummmm
    Joannie B.

    Came on a Thursday because my friend wanted to check out it, and they have a good happy hour from 8-11pm. We arrived around 8:45, and it was pretty chill, not crowded. Some people at the bar smoking hookah and some people at the tables. Music is nice, cool space; we sat at the space by the window to watch the car because of parking. We ordered the henny wings, which were not so tasty, the sweet Chili ginger was very good. We also had shrimp tacos, which I really liked they were good, and my friend had fries. The waitress was by herself, and she was attentive She did a good job. The bill came up to $89 because the 2 for 1 margaritas are $15 each they were good and they also added a 4% charge of $2.76 for using credit card but i used debit and she didn't remove it. So I would recommend using cash if going there. Smh. All in all, it's not bad but very slow on a thursday good first date spot or to just go catch up with friends.

    2-16 ? 4pm to 8 pm ? Not bad .

The meat and cheese board was cool and had a good variety of things. The pretzel was freshly baked, but while the salt was very pretty, it was a bit too much so me and my other friend kept shaking off the extra salt before eating lol. The whiskey brownie contained ACTUAL whiskey in it to my surprise lol, a little too much for me but I'm sure alcohol lovers would like this dessert. There's also some games that you can borrow from the restaurant to play with your friends, we played uno! I wouldn't go out of my way to make a special trip here but if you're looking for a place to meet in a casual setting in Washington Heights, this is a good spot for that.

In my experience, some weekday nights it'll be empty and I get to take my time talking to and chilling with all the ladies there. They have always been kind and friendly and of service and I can't recall ever having a bad night there. Much better than some strip clubs I've been to in NYC. There is no cover charge and a shot and a beer used to cost $10 it is now $12 due to inflation. I usually tip the girls the other $8 while they dance and twerk on the table. They have a juke box and a juke box app where you can play some music for the ladies to dance to, I think it's like $5 for 3 or 5 songs. Being the budget friendly place it is makes it easier to spend a little more time and money there and come back to visit again. Maybe because I'm a recognizable regular I have had good experiences with the security/bouncers, always greeted with a dap and standard pat down and still explained the rules (no pictures and no touching the women). One time I had a small situation with a drunk guy sitting next to me at the bar who was getting slightly disrespectful and annoying, I told the bouncer what was going on and he got me over to the nicer private corner and handled the guy. The owner Manny can be stern at times but I always greet him and he always greets me. I just get my drinks and talk/flirt the ladies on a chill vibe and I'm good. I always bring males and female friends when I can. I've taken girls there on two different occasions and the bartender/dancers showed them mad love telling them they were pretty etc. Definitely a good place to end your night at!
