“ This is an extremely awesome restaurant that has high-quality ingredients for everything they make. This is where your taste buds will make you drool for more. I aimed to spend 300 dollars for this experience so I could really define this awesome establishment. They do not pride themselves for their ambience. They pride themselves with TASTE, quality, and the ability to master each serving time and time again. This is where you go for the very best Sushi and beverages of the Japanese culture. Although this may be outside the price reach of fast food experience, this is no doubt a place to come eat with a LAX layover. Store your bags at your hotel and grab a LFYT TO THIS restaurant anytime after 1:00 pm, and you will experience the real culture of Japanese cuisine. Without a doubt, this restaurant needs to expand 4 times over. But if you like Sushi, the KANPAI JAPANESE SUSHI is where you want to invest your taste buds. This is more elite pricing meals, so I would say this is where you take your date and spend some quality time over a meal. Expect to pay 12-60 per person for the average meal. Don't forget to order their famous warm SAKE. It keeps the evening moving along, and laughter is the ambiance. When you want her to feel special, this is a place where you can do that with dinner. Quality time with quality service and food makes for a fantastic ending to a night of moments. ”
“ My wife and I were taken care of by the lovely Makiko and had an amazing intimate first time Kanpai Omakase experience curated by the handsome head chef KoKo! It’s our 2yr anniversary and they celebrated us by serving delicious edible art. Back to back to back. Then to finish it off with a fruit cheese cake made in house specially by another Kanpai Chef along with Makiko personally gifting us a bouquet of flowers! Such love and care. Real talk, the flavors and experience were immaculate. We left happy and satisfied! Definitely will be back with friends and family to fill all 6 seats and relive this top notch omakase experience! Thank you for the unforgettable time! We won’t forget! We feelin hella blessed! ”
“ Literally the best sushi I have ever had. The service was excellent and the price was great. Definitely recommend 10/10 ”
“ Solid sushi place to go to before you head to the football game. They have great value when it comes to price and how much you get. The fish tasted great and their ramen definitely tastes more crafted than other places. And you get ice cream! ”
“ Everything was good.... I even forgot to take some pictures... great atmosphere and very tasty meal. Taste fresh too. I love the service and everything tasted good ”
“ the charred pork was perfect. I got the lunch combination of a small ramen bowl and mini ikura bowl. I also got the agadashi tofu which was also so good! 39 total for everything before tip. I will be coming back. ”
“ We visited Kanpai with a group of three and had an overall enjoyable experience centered around a well-executed menu with bold, satisfying flavors. Lightly battered and fried to a crisp, the calamari was a great starter—tender on the inside with just the right amount of seasoning. It came with a dipping sauce that added a nice tangy contrast. Kanpai delivered solid Japanese fare with thoughtful preparation and good presentation. The ambiance was casual but stylish, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Great spot for small groups or casual dinners with a focus on quality. ”
