Kampai Japanese Steakhouse

"12 people, for Birthday celebration. The waitresses were on top of everything. The chef was great, and funny. We all had a great time. The food was delicious and more than enough! Priced reasonably . You won't leave hungry!"

"Came here with my daughter on a girls' night out and we had a blast. We had drinks, sushi, and a delicious dinner. We came here on a Tuesday night and it was very busy. We waited an hour for our food, but we got our drinks quickly the waitress apologized profusely, and took off our drinks from the bill. We always love to come to Kampai the food is always delicious and the service is always courteous."

"This place is INCREDIBLE! We had the miso soup, the margaritas, Tsunami roll, as well as the scorpion roll and chocolate peanut butter cheesecake for desert. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful. We will definitely be back."

"This was our first time visiting Kampai and it was wonderful. The Ambience is that of an actual Tokyo or Kyoto steakhouse with Hibachi, traditional Japanese, and sushi style dining. The staff (female) wear a colorful kimono dress and the males wear black vests and black pants. The hibachi meals are shared with other guests and reservations for these are highly recommended to ensure that your party is able to be together and the show involved with the meal preparation is always fun and entertaining. The traditional Japanese and sushi dishes are amazing and very skillfully prepared. There is also a very diverse selection of wines, cocktails and, beers, and sake from which to choose from. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and the portions are generous. This is a family friendly environment but there are plenty of private alcoves available to have a romantic dinner for two without issue. There is plenty of parking and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They take both cash and cards to meet the needs of their patrons. We are absolutely going to come back as our experience was beyond words and recommend this hidden gem to everyone."

"I had dinner at Kampai while visiting friends in Vestal, and we had an AMAZING omakase experience. I wish I took more photos of our food to do the meal justice, but these few will have to suffice. The head sushi chef was super friendly, attentive to our taste requests (which was just to go on a delicious adventure!) and dished up beautifully crafted plates. The fish was fresh and hearty (no skimping on cuts here!) and the simple vanilla ice cream dessert was made decadent with gold sugar decoration and fruit details. Besides the 12 out of 10 food, Kampai's ambiance is fantastic. While we enjoyed our more intimate dinner experience at the sushi bar, there were larger groups enjoying the hibachi tables, something I would like to try on my next visit. I also appreciated that the restaurant manager took the time to check in on us, which was very thoughtful, especially since it was a busier night. I can understand why Kampai has been in business since 1975 and I look forward to my next visit!"
