Kampai is a beloved restaurant known for its excellent food and reliable service. Customers highly recommend the shogun jump appetizer and fried volcano roll. The sushi is fresh, flavorful, and offers unique options. While service can be slow during busy times, the quality of the food makes up for it. The Lemon Drop roll is a favorite among regulars, featuring fresh salmon with thin lemon slices. The owners, Art and Oh, are gracious hosts with outstanding creativity in the kitchen and behind the sushi bar. Kampai's sushi is considered to be on par or even better than what can be found in Chicago. Many customers praise the Brussels sprouts and Ramen, describing the pork belly in the Ramen as smoky and spicy with hot chili oil, making it a memorable dish. Visitors also appreciate the cozy atmosphere, with music that isn’t too loud, and attentive service. The miso soup is delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant's location offers convenient parking, and the overall experience is highly recommended for its quality, atmosphere, and reasonable prices. Art’s skill and use of the freshest ingredients make Kampai stand out as one of the best sushi spots in Missouri.
