They have noodles in addition to rice, which I like, and I usually order an extra side of these. The portions are huge. My steak covered 1/2 of my plate today. I like the sushi. I get the veggie roll, fried. Honestly this is probably pretty hard to mess up, due to the distinctive lack of seafood, but still. No complaints here. The service is excellent. The past 2 times I've been, I've had the same server. I believe her name is Jennifer. She is awesome--the old school, super attentive, doesn't let the drinks go even close to empty type. The chefs are fun, most of them really do commit to the bit-- onion volcanoes, lots of jokes and banter, the whole 9 yards.

You order off a screen and find a table to sit at and they bring the food out to you. Of course, there are staff at the counter to answer any questions with your order and they're all very friendly. The place has more seating than I thought. There's a "side" room with plenty of seating! I ordered a soupless ramen (Mazesoba) and my friend got the Yakisoba. We both loved our entrees- perfect flavor! Definitely more things we'd like to try for next time! I've also had their Katsu Bento box before and it is also great!

We were promptly greeted upon entering and shown to our table. The restaurant was about 75% full of other patrons and the dining room was clean and comfortable. Along with regular tables, there was limited seating at the sushi bar. As we began looking over the menu, our server made us aware of the lunch specials on the back page, which was greatly appreciated. I went with the Teriyaki Beef and my wife had the Hibachi Chicken. I chose the side salad with the house ginger dressing and my wife had the miso soup. Both of us went with white rice. Our sides came out pretty quick, and once we finished our sides, our entrees came out like clockwork. The Teriyaki Beef with accompanying vegetables tasted great, but I felt the portion size of both could have been larger. Still, it was a good value. Now, the portion size of the Hibachi Chicken with vegetables was much better, and it may be my choice next time. I want to mention that the sushi I saw being delivered to other tables looked pretty amazing, so the Hibachi Chicken may have to wait. Service was excellent throughout our visit. The only suggestion would be some soft background authentic Japanese music to add to the experience.

All of the positives and the stars go to the service (our server was attentive and helpful! Our chef put on a great show, and really showed attention towards my son!) the positive also goes to food portion and taste. We rarely leave with "to go" boxes, and yesterday, we did! And the food tasted great. Definitely high in sodium as all hibachi is, but good! The loss of stars goes to the appearance and cleanliness of the restaurant. It's definitely an old place, and is in desperate need of updating. Old, beat up chairs, dingy everything, stained walls. The chairs were sticky to the touch. I was grossed out before beginning to eat (not my choice btw) but it's not my style to complain so I made the best of it! I just kept thinking how dirty the place was in general, so I had a hard time enjoying the whole experience. I think Kanpai could use a facelift, but maintain their awesome service and many would be pleased + happy! If you go, especially hole in the wall hibachi for still hibachi prices. Just don't expect the Taj Mahal.

The tables and booths are functional, but not built for comfort. I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Kebob, with steamed rice, sweet carrots, mixed veggies, with shrimp sauce - $13.50. This was a very nice dish - the shrimp were well sized and fresh tasting, nicely cooked. The mixed veggies were also nice zucchini, onion, broccoli, and mushrooms. The sweet carrots are not something I care for, just too much sweetness! This was not at all a bad experience, but I still prefer Rio or Kimono. And since you don't get soup or salad here except with a combo meal, I think the value is not far off.

I ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp with teriyaki sauce and selected broccoli as my veggie. It was also served with sweet carrots. I also selected the salad with ginger dressing as my starter. The salad was the typical iceburg bag salad with a piece of mixed green mixed in. The ginger dressing was different that what I'm used to. It was very orange and chunky. It had a hint of ginger flavor. It almost seemed like they blended carrots and mixed it with the dressing to stretch it out. This is why they lost a star. The steak, shrimp, and rice were all cooked to perfection. Steak was tender amd easy to chew with a bit of char. When I go back i will ask them to go light on the teriyaki sauce. It was a large portion. I ate inside and my meal was served on large paper plate. No problem for me. It was durable fro. Start to finish, but I did have to request a to-go plate. There are booths and a few high tops for seating. If I had to guess, maybe 20-25 people could dine-in comfortably. I will go back.

The menu has a great mix of familiar Chinese dishes alongside more traditional regional specialties, and it's clear the restaurant isn't afraid to lean into bold, spicy flavors. The ambiance is cozy. It looks like they turned an old Biscuitville into the dining space, which is quite charming. We ordered quite a few dishes, including the steamed soup dumplings, ox tongue and tripe with chili sauce, Singapore mei fun, intestine with chili pepper, mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, and the intestine noodle. Everything was well prepared, but the standout was how the restaurant balances more "American Chinese" flavors while also staying true to some more traditional chinese flavors as well. The chili-forward dishes had plenty of heat without overpowering the other flavors, and each dish had its own distinct character. The ox tongue and tripe appetizer and the intestine dishes were great options if you're looking to try something a little more traditional. The portions were generous, making it a great place to order several dishes and share with the table. If you're used to American Chinese food, this menu offers a chance to branch out and try something different while still having plenty of familiar options available. If there is a dish I would not order again, it would probably be the soup dumplings. They tasted just like the store bought frozen variety that you can steam at home. Nonetheless, New Sichuan Restaurant is well worth a visit if you're desiring flavors that somewhat lean towards more traditional Sichuan cooking.
