Kanpai Restaurant

"It lives up to it's name! Invited here by some friends who are here every Saturday. Small and intimate place and the staff were very welcoming, even drinking with you when you offer. Had a variation of things, including Sashimi I can't name them all."

"You could drive to LAX and take a plane to Japan, or you could eat here and save money. Truly genuine Japanese eating experience."

"English speaking staff personal que habla español 日本語を話すスタッフが多くいます。 If you are in the mood for traditional japanese food, this is the place for you. Kanpi brings the best of Japan's food to San Diego with their authentic japanese cooks, sushi chef, and wait staff. The staff are very friendly and attentive. For my military members coming back from Japan missing the food, this is the place for you. Onto the food. California rolls Cruchy Veggies Sesame after taste Fresh avacado Pack in well rice wrapped roll It's not the best California i have had but really delicious and fresh. Curry udon Very mild spice Carrots are soft but not mushie Meat well cooked and very tender Curry is a mild thickness, not soupy Noodles are soft and delicious It's very filling. Miso soup tastes a little different every time but has a sense of being freshly made with just the right amount of tofu and seaweed. The green onions are crunchy with a freshly cut smell. Bento box Rice is fresh and hot Teriyaki Beef tastes a little smokey like yakitori cooked on a grill. The meat is tender and easy to chew with a very select amount of fat that melts in your mouth. Overall, I will always recommend this place as the closest to authentic japanese food that you can have in San Diego as you can get without being in Japan, and I constantly go back for more."

"An authentic Japanese food location, with all the convenience offered by American size seating and tables. The food is oshee (delicious) and the price is no more than a burger meal...no comparison in quality!"

"Authentic, high quality, welcoming and family friendly atmosphere. Excellent curry, ramen, and my first jellyfish dish. We also really enjoyed the service and an excellent customer experience."
