    Rainbow Roll

    This is our first sushi experience, and we are happy we chose Kampai Sushi. We tried the Rainbow Roll and the Monkey Roll. Both were delicious! Sam is very nice and prepares a great meal. The ingredients were fresh and the presentation was stunning. The place looked nice, but we got our order to go. We will definitely be back!

    For Redding, I would say this is a pretty good sushi place. It's not the same as the bay area, but it's pretty good, overall. I ordered the nigiri sampler and another roll. The fish tastes fresh, but did not have that hearty fish taste I'm looking for in my sushi. But it still tasted pretty good, overall! I was unable to finish my food as it is pretty large portions. The staff is great and pretty friendly. The owner asked if I like spicy food and I replied that I did and he made this delicious sauce that I took home to dip my chips in...he said it's for sushi, but tasted more like a chip dip lol.

    This is what I received ... NOT a KELLY roll {no jalapeños} and NOT a SAM roll - what the actual heck?  How hard is it to read an order?

    WHY DO I KEEP TRYING? Ordered a KELLY roll a SAM roll and a LOCO roll ... what did I receive? A "Cali" roll a " Cam" roll and, shockingly the Loco roll. I am SO OVER Kampai. I keep trying and keep going back even though I say I won't and I just do not learn. What I did receive, even though it was incorrect, was awful - once I realized it was incorrect and tried a bite it went into the trash. 5* to DoorDash for the amazing delivery and a REFUND for the two orders I did not get, I'd give zero stars to Kampai if I could. This will absolutely positively be my last time.

    Calamari mi us the delicious dipping sauce

    Everything is so good and fresh! The staff makes you feel at home and are so friendly and on top of things. Our family has always loved this place and will always go back!

    Incredible!!! Slow service but food was outstanding. Our reservation was set for 7:15pm (on a Wednesday night), waited 45 minutes, got our meal by 8:15pm. Server never smiled, didn't check on our table - we had to flag her down a couple of times. Didn't seem to want to help with recommendations so we just winged it since we're not regulars. Still a 4 star because the food was unreal. Their popcorn lobster sushi was to die for.

    The ambience is ok for a strip mall location. We went in because my son really wanted to get sushi…read morefrom their circling boat/converoy belt service. They advertised the sushi boat service on their door, but did not have it during the time window they posted. I had no expectations for great sushi and thought I'd get "ok" sushi here. Instead, It was memorable only for how bad it was. The tuna (maguro) was awful. It was inedibly grainy and did not slightly spring back when touched with gentle pressure--the sign of either low quality fish, or lack of freshness. It is also the common bright pink gassed fish--not a sign of quality. I wouldn't feed this to my cat. I ate one piece of fish without rice. The texture was grainy and gross. I figure it was a fluke and tried another piece before spitting it out. Hard pass. The salmon roe sushi was also off, and inedible. The egg sushi was water-logged and not good. Finally, their chef does not know how to make proper sushi rice. The rice should be sweet with a hint of tartness, both in balance with the rice. No harmony here--it was just slightly tart. When I complained that it was inedible the server was suspiciously defensive insisting it was "fresh." If that's true, it was not good fish from a reputable vendor. If you want sushi and you're in Redding, go to Kobe or Raw.

    Don't believe the reviews on this place. I'm not sure why everyone is so critical. The portions…read morewere great, service was friendly, everything was absolutely tasty. The vibes were good it wasn't too crowded. Some of the helpers on here must just want to waste food because we had an outrageous amount of food.

    We went there this past weekend, after our daughter's s soccer game and subsequent trip to Burney…read moreFalls. I was looking for Ramen, and this place has both Ramen and Poke. The hosts were congenial and friendly and took our orders confidently and quickly. My wife and daughters ordered poke bowls and I ordered their Ramen. The Poke bowls were pretty good (in comparison with the Poke spots we have in Sac), and the ladies cleaned their bowls completely. There are three types of Ramen bowls available (Spam, Miso and Seafood), and I selected the Seafood option. It was a standard mix of shrimp, imitation crab, and scallops with fish cake, green onions and seaweed with a miso-like broth. The bowl was pretty solid, the broth could use a bit more flavor. So all in all, it was a solid meal for us. I would give the poke bowls a solid B, and the Ramen bowl a B-. Poke Land is a good place to have Poke or Ramen if you're in Redding. I surmise that there are better Ramen options within the Japanese restaurants around town, maybe better Poke options too. However, this is a good place that does both.

    Really solid spot!! The prices for the portion size is amazing, as you can get a poke bowl that…read morefeeds 2 people for $16. The salmon was really fresh and I loved how you can pick all the toppings and sauces you want! Our server was really sweet too. I loved the house/ponzu sauce with ricee. My only complaint is that the other fish options besides the salmon didn't look too fresh. The tuna/snapper/etc looked more pre/frozen and dry. Would definitely recommend this spot for a fast casual meal!

    We visited Tokyo Garden on a Friday evening, about 5pm. Party of 5. I felt like the food was…read more"okay" but nothing to write home about. We ordered a variety of appetizers, sushi rolls, and stir fry's. It was surprisingly pricey, but I'm told that they're comparable to other sushi places. As someone that doesn't frequent sushi restaurants, I felt like the amount of food didn't really match the prices. The main reason for removing stars was the service was lacking. We waited for over an hour before any food (we even ordered apps) hit the table. The waitress wasn't on top of keeping drinks full, or even making sure we have silverware or napkins. It was a bit of a struggle to get what we needed during our time here. Would I eat here again? Yes. Would it be my first choice? No.

    As a typical weekend rolls around, so does the question that haunts us all: Where should we eat…read morethis time? The hunt for something new is almost a tradition for us. We've passed this place many times before, and a while back, we even found it on Yelp listed as a Chinese restaurant nearby. For some reason, we never stopped in--until now. This weekend, we decided to finally give Tokyo Garden a shot. Now, we've tried other local spots like Grand Buffet and Golden Star. While they're fine, they tend to fall into the "meh" category--edible, but nothing to rave about. Nothing, that is, until you compare them to Tokyo Garden. Sure, you can swing by Panda Express if you're just after a quick fix, but when you want a sit-down restaurant that consistently serves food a notch above the rest, Tokyo Garden should be at the top of your list. From the moment we walked in, the place gave off a warm, welcoming environment. The décor on the walls was tasteful, the tables were covered with colorful floral designs, and the atmosphere felt both inviting and relaxed. Our waitress greeted us quickly, took our drink orders, and even brought us water while we waited--a small gesture, but one that shows thoughtfulness. Not long after, my Arnold Palmer arrived alongside my wife's Pepsi. As we browsed the menu, we landed on the Food Box Number 3, which came with Teriyaki Chicken, Miso Soup, a fresh salad, three pieces of sushi, white rice (brown rice available for just $2 more), and fried vegetables with Tempura Shrimp. But before committing to the main course, we couldn't resist starting with an appetizer--Crab Rangoons. Let me tell you, we've sampled Crab Rangoons from plenty of places, but Tokyo Garden's were next level. The exterior was perfectly crispy, the filling had that distinct, real crab flavor (not just cream cheese), and the balance of flavors was spot on. Paired with their Sweet and Sour Sauce, it was the kind of appetizer that makes you want to order another round before the main meal even arrives. Then came the main event. The Chicken Teriyaki was tender and flavorful--yes, a touch on the salty side, but still addictive. The salad was fresh and bright, with a ginger dressing that tied it all together. The Tempura Shrimp had that perfect crunch without being greasy, and the fried vegetables were just right--soft on the inside, crisp on the outside. The sushi was fresh and simple, a nice touch that rounded out the plate. From start to finish, the entire experience felt like a win. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, the food was consistently good, and the price was fair enough that you don't walk out feeling like you overpaid for mediocre food. Finally--we feel like that we have finally found a Chinese restaurant we can actually get excited about. One that: 1: Doesn't break the bank. 2: Doesn't leave you wishing you'd gone somewhere else. So, if you're tired of rolling the dice on new places only to walk away disappointed, do yourself a favor--go to Tokyo Garden. Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, you'll walk away full, happy, and already planning your next trip back. Thanks, Tokyo Garden. Your food, your atmosphere, and your staff have earned you two new regulars.
