Daimyo Roll: salmon, white fish, tuna, masago, asparagus and avacao wrapped in seaweed.
Denise B.

The service and food is always great at Kampai. Retno is always smiling and such a pleasure to see every time. She personally addresses me by my first name, and welcomes me like family. I love that she as gotten to know me over the years and makes sure each visit is exceptional. This visit was was no different. I showed her a picture of a roll I get when I'm in Miami. (Shout out to Nami's in Miramar, Florida.) Retno took her time to make sure I woud get exactly what I wanted. She asked to see a picture and let me talk.eith the chef just to be sure. Sushi Chef Yermo (Guillermo) blessed me with a masterpiece. My daimyo roll was A-Mazing! I wish I could give this 10 stars. They should put this on their menu. It's worth the price!

Onion Fire Volcano

The food was delicious, the service was quick, responsive, and efficient, and the ambience is absolutely peaceful.

I had a good time with my family as we celebrated my Mother's birthday. The food was so good and the chef was amazing. We were seated with fantastic people and they joined us in singing Happy Birthday to Mom. I love going to this restaurant.

Hibatchi is just one of those nostalgic things I like to do. It reminds me of a simpler time when I was a kid, sitting amazed at the fire blazing onion volcano and the egg shells being thrown up into a tall chef's hat. Kampai was okay. The food fit the bill, but I'm not sure if the rest of the experience did. Is it one of those things where you always remembered it better than it actually was because your standards were well, that of a 5 year old? Atmosphere: the health score gave me pause, hovering at 84. The place looked shabby and dated and dusty. Employees did wear masks. My table was sticky and had sauce on it. Service: All servers were very nice. You can choose to sit in a booth and order a la carte or you can sit at a table with a grill and watch the "show". It's a hit or miss here whether they are going to entertain you or just quietly cook. If you have a child with you, they are more likely to do the special tricks and make jokes. Food: Ginger salad is fresh, crisp, and delicious. I enjoy the ginger dressing. The soup is meh. Just some floating sliced mushrooms in bland broth. Chicken, filet mignon, steak, and shrimp all cooked well and delicious. Fried rice was very tasty. The vegetables were fresh and the sauces they give you in ramekins (teriyaki and yum yum sauce) are tasty but I personally don't use them. If I returned, I'd bypass the grill and just order some food. *shrug* Wear: a high bun and sparkly earrings Listen to: Entity by Tora and Merryn Jeann

Plenty of parking: The servers were pleasant. Slow but pleasant Once the chef got there the food was coming off the grill pretty fast. It was nice watching him do his food tricks. There was plenty of room around the grill. Enough to have empty seats between other parties. The food was great and was cooked to perfection. I will b back.

I'm writing this review before I leave the restaurant because I just have to get it out there. This food smacks. I had to force myself to stop eating. It's too good. We did hibachi. We had a big group (21) and you have to wait until your whole group is there to be seated so tell them folks to BE ON TIME. We got two chefs and barely had to see anyone else in that place. There were curtains up so it felt pretty private. The restroom was okay. But the food? I got to come back. I haven't seen my receipt yet but it was worth it. I got veggies, fried rice, and shrimp. Someone at our table had a shellfish allergy so they cooked their food in the kitchen.

Steak and shrimp hibachi with fried rice was great!!
Antwynette R.

I would actually give this place 3 1/2 stars. I was afraid to go based on the reviews, but it was actually pretty good! It can be expensive since the hibachi is full price during lunch hours if you sit at the hibachi table. I ordered the steak and shrimp hibachi with fried rice. It comes with a side salad and the miso soup. The dressing was somewhat watery and drenched the entire salad so if you don't like a lot of dressing, let them know. They seat you by family so you're not at the table with people you don't know. This is a huge plus! Will definitely go back!

A little Sunrise ~ Tequila Sunrise that is!

Sooooo.... What I can say we love Sushi!! It's light & it's good we chose a variety because I'm not a fan of the spicy Mayo sauce or any type yum yum sauce flavors (Not a Mayo girl) but my hubby he likes it .. I'm more so the Eel sauce chic the brown sauce ! ... needless to say we loved it wasn't & couldn't eat all of it.. definitely not gluttons but it definitely makes for a cute photo op! Pics or it didn't happen ! My motto! Anyways, the place was cute & inside is definitely date night ambiance is what it gives if you go in the evening. It wasn't our first time here, as I said, we love Sushi! It's a good spot if you want to have a cute outing before your nightcap! We enjoyed ourselves per usual

Empire Roll?
