We went in for lunch around 1pm and the place was empty except for one customer at the bar. Saw 4 pick up orders coming in. Sushi was okay. The Unagi was tender with no over powering sauce on top which is good. Place is clean.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE! Overall the sushi was mediocre. I had high expectations, but one my Sweetheart Roll was missing avocado,jalapeño, and spicy mustard. The Girlyman Roll was supposed to be a "chef special" but tasted more like a gas station sushi roll. I also ordered a crazy roll which was good but for that price, I wouldve been better of going to another place. Overall food not tasty, high prices, and there's just better places ot there. Good job on making a special Saturday dinner a disaster.

Mercedes did an exceptional job making our sushi tonight. Not to mention she's very personable and honestly, just a pleasure to be around, not to mention how she held our conversation. Perfect I'm every aspect. We will be going back ?

Darinka, our waitress was very friendly, even giving us candy before we left. I do recommend the Alen Roll and the Japanese soda. My favorite flavors of the Japanese soda are the strawberry and Lechee.

Amazing sushi rolls and pricesWe've been coming here since 2007, yes it might not be the 3 Michelin star restaurant but it is the same owner but it has changed different managers...again right now it has a new management, same recipes and same good amount of food....maybe prices went up a bit but with inflation I don't blame them....just give them a try...they are a family own restaurant and they need the customers business to survive . Once again give them a try ...oh and if I mention they have vegetarian options in the sushi menu???Vegetarian options: Kardashian roll both vegetarian and veganVeggie rollsPhilly veggie tempuraKid-friendliness: They are nice and they don't mind playing kids movies

I ordered a rainbow roll and three pieces of the roll didn’t even have fish on them.

Walked in about ten min before the my closed and was greeted immediately staff and seated. I ordered an appetizer along with three rolls and a few drinks. The host was very pleasant with my daughter and recommend new things for her to try (Japanese sodas) which my daughter enjoyed. Every roll we tried was great. Afterwards my daughter was given Japanese candy. The complete experience was great.

This is not the first time they have gotten orders wrong. They seem to NEVER look at the remove or additions. They have completely gotten sushi rolls incorrect, they have now not only not removed the avocado, needed due to allergies, but when told and remade the used all the wrong sauces and turned what was supposed to be a spicy and sweet roll into a barbecue tasting gross mess. Sure some people may like that but I just want what I ordered without having to ask over and over again. This single simple request of no avocado on top. I don’t even get rolls with it inside it’s a request to not put it on top.

I really wish I read the reviews in advance because I wouldn't have ordered from here. I got two rolls from Doordash for dinner, I thought the price was fair and that the food was decent - a little fishier than I wanted if I had to be honest. Their tuna wasn't the best quality in my opnion. The ginger they gave me had some black spots on it but it didn't look like mold to me at the time. I assumed it was discoloration. I didn't eat the ginger and ate half the rolls I ordered before going to sleep. The next day by 1pm I was full blown sick. I'll spare you the details but it lasted two days and has been ruled as food poisoning by the doctors. I don't like accusing restaurants of food poisoning, because it can be so hard to prove, but the sushi from Kanpai was the only thing that I ate that no one else in my family ate. I had it for dinner around 8-9pm ish and was sick by 1pm the next day

Kanpai Sushi is a nice Japanese eatery that has been in Brentwood since 2005. The ambiance is modern with bits of Asian decor after being renovated. There were 3 animated maneki-neko (beckoning cat) overlooking the indoor seating area. These cats are a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. The service was prompt and our server was very nice and helpful. She accommodated our special request by asking the sushi chef if certain things can be done. We ordered:Appetizer Calamari - 3/5The calamari was deep fried and the batter was relatively pretty thick, but tasty. The calamari itself was not not tender as I wished. It was more rubbery. Overall, the calamari wasn't bad, but I had better.Maui Roll - 4/5This was a special sushi. There was a lot of tobico the topped the Maui roll. The cucumber gave the spicy hamachi and rice a nice crunch. The mango sauce with unagi sauce did not agree with my taste buds. I would prefer drizzling all mango sauce or all unagi sauce over the Maui roll instead of mixing the two sauces together. This is a personal preference. Others may like the two sauces drizzled over the Maui roll. That being said, the Maui roll was very good.Bento Combo (sesame chicken and california roll) - 5/5With the Bento dinner combo, you get to select two items. One from the entree list and one from the "side" list. I selected sesame chicken and California roll. You also get miso soup and salad. The sesame chicken cubes was breaded and fried, then tossed in teriyaki sesame sauce. Very tasty. The california roll was very good. The avocado was buttery, not overripe. The portions were very generous. I would order this combination again in the future. I cannot speak for the less positive reviews that I've read on yelp. If I believed the negative reviews, I would not have tried Kanpai Sushi. We're happy that we did try Kanpai sushi. The service was good, the staff friendly and accommodating. The food we ordered was very good. I would recommend giving Kanpai Sushi a try. It is best to personally try the restaurant and give your own review. We will order other dishes from Kanpai Sushi and update this review.
