2.5 stars. $55+ worth of food and nothing was great. Tempura's exterior is way too thick. Chicken Katsu was not tasty and was too hard.

Went for the bento box lunch special. Some of the best Japanese food I've had in a while at a very reasonable price.

Food is good! Front of house staff is pretty rude, heard the way they speak on the phone, as well as the way they interacted with customers in the store. Other than that experience was okay.

There was a big group of teens that occupied pretty much the entire restaurant place and the only server was too busy. She was nice but I had to get our own chopsticks as she got really busy with the big group (8-9 teens). We ordered two lion king (baked) and bento. We liked the beef teriyaki. The rest were okay. We had finished our bento when lion king arrived. I didn't care for the lion king. Place is tight but clean. In cases where there is a big group talking loud and nasty, dining experience will not be ideal.

They gave me the wrong food.. The chicken they gave me was not cooked all the way still raw in middle when they switched it they made me bring the food back which they didn't have my food ready waited an hour to have them put soggy gyoza back on plate.. just make sure if you get chicken here it's cooked ..

We have been to the Oakland restaurant many times and love the food, service and interior. So, when we heard of this location, we just had to come in. The overall building and interior is extremely different from the other store, as this one is super small with tight seating (maybe 8-10 tables?) and it's clear the food pickup and delivery is the biggest draw here. And, here is why.... The food is awesome! In fact, I want to say it is better here than the other location. We came in for Bento dinners, and were very impressed. You get a ton of food, and that food is really tasty. If it were not for the super tight seating (ok, just pretend you are in a crowded Asian hotspot) I would have given 5 stars, but for atmosphere, I have to ding one star.

THE last sushi restaurant that doesn't skimp on the quality AND quantity! First time trying this place I ordering togo and I was shocked at the amount of sushi they prepared! I ordered a 007 and a Katie2, and I was blown away!! Delicious!! Service was great, tapped and I was in and out! Please don't ever change!

Great fresh food, server was nice and answered every question we had. I will definitely be back, place looks very clean and food is very colorful, portions were good too.

Came here tonight with a friend as Hayward is halfway between us in Walnut Creek and San Mateo. Although tonight was our first time at Kansai's Hayward location, I have previously ordered from Kansai's Concord location via DoorDash. I'm not super familiar with Hayward but when Kansai came up on my Yelp feed, I remembered how much I liked the sushi at the Concord location. We came around 5 pm and were seated immediately. I had the rainbow roll and the salmon maki, both of which were super tasty. My friend got the James and CA rolls, which she liked. Service was friendly and we liked the candy that came with the bill. The space is small but don't let that discourage you from trying Kansai! FYI, the bathroom is hidden underneath the curtain. When I asked, they pointed to the kitchen door and I thought the bathroom required walking through the kitchen. Luckily the one of the chefs redirected me to the bathroom. The area where the curtain was seemed tight so I thought I was in the wrong place. Better signage would be helpful so people don't make the same mistake as I did. Not a dealbreaker and I would absolutely come back!
