" Disappointed in my last meal at Kanpai. While the crab Rangoon was still great, the sushi left much to be desired. It seemed like some of the fish was not fresh, and that surely impacted the overall taste. The service wasn't as attentive as I remembered, with several unrefilled drinks. Initially a favorite spot, it seems to have slipped a bit. I hope they can get back on track because I used to love this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Kanpai is what drew me in. Soft music, calm lighting, and a clean layout made it comfortable to dine in. I had the shrimp and veggie tempura, which was crisp and brilliant. However, I felt that the sushi was a little bland—it didn’t have the punch I was hoping for. The service was friendly yet slow—there were times when I had to flag down our server. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kanpai has a charming, cozy ambiance that makes visiting a pleasure. I made a point to try their bento box special and it exceeded expectations in both portion and flavor! The attention to detail really shines through in their food presentation. While the service lagged slightly, the food more than made up for it. I’ll be bringing my friends here for our next outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Kanpai, and it was enchanting! The sushi platter was not only a visual treat but also tasted amazing. We ordered a variety of rolls, and my favorite was the Godzilla roll, packed with flavor and freshness. The restaurant had a warm ambience with soft lighting, making it feel special. Our service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Kanpai after hearing great things from friends, but my experience was a bit mixed. The sushi tasted good, although I found it to be on the fishy side. Service was okay, but I felt rushed as tables were quickly turning over after we sat down. The atmosphere is lively but can get quite noisy when busy. Overall, I'd say it’s decent for a casual meal, but I might explore other places next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Kanpai for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. However, I must mention the service could improve—our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed and it took a while to get our order taken. The atmosphere was inviting but could benefit from soft music to enhance the dining experience. Overall, I'd give it another shot, hoping for faster service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently enjoy takeout from Kanpai, and I must say their sushi is consistently some of the best. It has a great selection to choose from and the quality is reliable. I often get the lunch specials, which provide generous portions for the price. My only complaint is that sometimes the takeout process feels rushed, and I’d love a bit more consistency in the service. Nevertheless, it remains one of my top picks in town! " (*Curated Review*)
