My go to spot for authentic Japanese cuisine in the city. The food never disappoints. The vibes are one of a kind and nostalgic.

Probably the only Japanese restaurant in town with omu rice on their menu. Their spicy salmon poke with purple rice is my go-to! The servers also give great recommendations and are super friendly! Will always return for more 🫶🏻

I’m so happy that Kanpai Izakaya is now in Halifax! I used to dine at their Moncton location multiple times because their food was always consistently delicious — and I’m glad to say nothing has changed. The flavours, quality, and presentation are still top-notch.

It feels like a familiar favourite found a new home, and I couldn’t be more excited. Me and my boyfriend will definitely be dining with them again the next time we visit Halifax.

If you’re craving amazing Japanese dishes with great service, this is the place to go. Welcome to Halifax, Kanpai! 🍣🍜✨

First time at Kanpai Izakaya and was not disappointed! Great food and service in a really cool dining area that makes me feel relaxed! The poke bowl, unagi don, karage and sushi were all excellent! Highly recommended!

This izakaya is supurb.
The Salmon watayaki is smoked to perfection.
Also recommend oden nabe, karaage chicken and agedashi tofu.

Genmai tea here is better than other as well.

Where do I start? The beginning I guess. Came here to have food, which is something you eat. I got some squid, eel and ribs. All were top notch.

Then a wild buffalo appeared telling me my father has been resurrected from the dead. That's when I realized the mushrooms kicked in, so I had to go lie down.

Either way it was a good trip. Would go again, but probably only do edibles next time.

I guess one of the waiters didn’t know how to respect their customers who just want chill and have some food. But food was always good. And others always have excellent service.
