There is a reason this plave has been around forever and will continue to do so. The food is good and fresh, just what you want at a sushi place. They have something on the menu for everyone, so you dont have to love sushi. They have a deserts the fried ice cream and donuts are soooo good. This is the best authentic sushi in the area not fusion just good traditional sushi.

Traditional restaurant with the black laquer wood and the booths and small wooden tables. The atmosphere is old school tradition. Nothing fancy, which doesn't take away from the food. As it should be. Menu has a good variety of rolls, but I always dance between the same 3 or 4. Good gioza, good shrimp and the fried rice they make (it isn't the typical Chinese rice recipe, because this isn't a Chinese restaurant) is interesting.
The prices are $$-$$$ not exactly cheap but with everything getting more and more expensive, about what one would expect. The staff I have interacted with are pleasant. Good refills on soda, sometimes a tad slow.
The parking is a nightmare if the lot is full, and ok if it isn't. Don't expect a whole bunch of space here to maneuver. Alley in the back that feeds to 87th Ave has some of the worse pot holes in existence. Speeding could result in losing an axle. Smoking is ok outside, if you're lucky, you get to smoke with the wait staff and cooks.
Over all expectations and experiences have been good, the multiple times I've been. Recommend.
As luck would have it, we never wait for a table due to the hour we show up. I would imagine on weekends the place gets slammed, so waiting is to be expected.

Kampai Sunset is our go-to mom-and-pop sushi restaurant, and it’s hands down one of the best in Miami for high-quality Japanese and Thai food. We’re regulars here—my wife, kids, in-laws, and friends—and whether it’s lunch or dinner, we find ourselves coming back multiple times a week.
What makes Kampai special is not just the consistently fresh and delicious food, but also how welcoming they are to our whole family. Even our two boys under 3 years old love it here, and there’s always something they enjoy. With such a long and varied menu, you truly can’t go wrong with any dish—every item is excellent.
A true gem of a neighborhood restaurant with heart, quality, and amazing flavors.

Customer service has come down tremendously. If the managers are not there, the service is miserable. Even if it is for takeout: they couldn't find the tab, and I asked for a simple exchange of a sauce for another, and they said they had to charge me. I've been a customer for over 20 years since they opened and didn't deserve that answer. What a shame...
I hadn't been there for years, it looks just like I remember it. Unfortunately the food was just ok, nothing like I remember my family though the same. It's been around for a long time.

Today, terrible. Sashimi tasted like water. Service was slow. I spend hundreds of dollars there a year, for years now! This is Eddie Kampai. Reply if you dare.

This has been my only experience, where a restaurant serves you rainbow colored looking tuna full of mercury, and tells you it's OK to eat. I asked the bill and stormed out fuming as quickly as I could. I will Never visit this rat trap of a restaurant ever again. And you value your lives, yall would do the same.

It was a good deal approximately 1 year ago, but it’s been in a steady decline. The Tuna Tower is 1/2 the size of what it used to be, the eel roll has a tiny piece when it used to be full size, and everything is in decline. Maybe they’re trying to do too much, as it used to be primarily a Japanese Restaurant and the Thai Menu is mediocre at best. Today we ordered Pad Thai specifically requesting “not spicy” and it was so spicy we had to discard it. The woman on the phone argued consistently that it wasn’t possible? I’m hoping they recover in the near future, but I’m choosing to skip it. It’s better to stick to one thing and do it well, than several mediocre options. By the way the “white fish” is Tilapia which is one of the cheapest fish in the market.
Great food at a great price! Highly recommend it.
