“My family came here for our first visit on Friday. We had been given plenty of recommendations from friends on what to order here. We tried the crab ragoon, gyoza, and pork buns for appetizers. We loved the pork so much. For meals we tried the sushi which was all super fresh, and tankatsu ramen. Delish but the pork pieces were very big and hard to cut with no knives. I recommend you serve them sliced more. Really liked the food. Service was a little slow but it was busy in there. No waiting area and no reservations detracts from atmosphere points. I would come again though based on fact the food was so good. Menu is huge. Come hungry.“
“What an intimate first impression! We were greeted by the entire staff upon arrival, such a warm regards for complete strangers. Our server was so helpful with her recommendations. As for the atmosphere - so clean! Very pleasant instrumental music played without drowning out our conversation - hate loud music. The sushi tasted so fresh, we'll be back“
“Friends in from out of state. Few options for Monday dinner. SO GLAD we found KAWA. Fantastic staff, very clean and comfortable inside dining room, and the food was TERRIFIC!! I really apreciated the portion size - perfect, not overloaded plates at very fair prices -- and the presentation was truly elegant. I'll definitely return -- what a terrific place. Thanks, KAWA!“
“This place has one of the more interesting rolls that I have seen in my life. They call it the monkey roll and it has banana in it. I really recommend trying that roll as I enjoyed it the most out of everything I got there. Besides that this is a very average sushi place.“
“Our Ginza night: Sushi here is always fresh and delicious. We did carry out yesterday. Sashimi is so fresh and so good, plus Wauwatosa and Futo Maki rolls made our dinner beautiful and yummy as well. Of cause, Seaweed salad and house green salad with ginger dressing, you wouldn’t want to miss those in this Ginza. Ginza made our dinner heathy, full and beautiful.“
“5-star ratings should be by definition hard to obtain. We'll give Kanpai a 4+. The sushi varietals were outstanding, service was very good, enjoyable contemporary ambience, and noise level was moderate. Pricing was a bit high, as we've come to expect in the Third Ward. Kanpai is a little short on red wine selections. There's a perfect space on the menu for one or two red blends. We'll be back!“
“They have the best ramen that I have ever had. I don't eat pork, so it can be hard to find pork-free ramen that's flavorful. This bowl is so tasty on its own that you do not need to add any meat (or tofu) to it. I've ordered other things, but usually wish I had just stuck with the ramen cuz it's that good. Unless you can stand a lot of heat, go with the mild which is still pretty spicy. And I grew up eating Indian food, so heat is something I'm used to. And: Help support small businesses like Maki Yaki during this difficult time! You can get the ramen as take out...“
“I was meeting my hard of hearing mother and son for a lunch out. I did show up 10 minutes late so my family was already waiting on me. As soon as I sat down she was trying to collect menus before I could have even looked at the lunch options. She even took the drink menu before I could order some tea and wasn't even offered a water. When she was confirming orders she snapped at my son when he was trying to translate for my hard of hearing mother. I'm sure the other couple at the table was frustrated as well but they where very nice asking questions to distract my son from the awkwardness of basically being told zip it. I wish all the tip went to the hibachi chef, he deserved it. He was very nice even noticing my son struggling with his chopsticks (something he was so excited to teach himself) and offering him the kids chop sticks while he was cooking. It seems he took more initiative and she took more of the tip. We will definitely be back but I hope it will be with a different server.Kid-friendliness: Server was rude to my son. She was very short and snappy when he was trying to translate for my hard of hearing mother. The hibachi chef had to get him kids chopsticks. He was very nice and showed more initiative than she did and I'm sure she's the one that gets the tip. I wish he had gotten all of it.“
