“ One of my favorite places. Great sushi. Mendocino and salmon skin are my favorites! Top Tier customer service as well! ”
“ I absolutely love this place!! They are the only sushi place in town with generous portions and good fish. We've been coming here for 8 years now and I hope they are ALWAYS here!! There is not better quality sushi in the area, regardless of how high end the place. I'm satisfied with every delicious bite. ”
“ Came here to celebrate my son birth. I have to say the place is clean and cozying. The food was fresh and tasty. Had the Marilyn Monroe Roll, which was pretty good. The Monkey fist's were good too. The rest of the family said their orders were tasty as well. The place may be added to the rotation of monthly family dinners. The service was attentive and quick. If you are a sushi connoisseur and happen to be in the area, make sure you stop by and indulge. Support your local establishments! ”
“ I ordered this via GrubHub, so I can only attest to the food and not anything else. California Roll: Pretty standard and nothing special to be honest. They were plentiful and it came with the lunch combo, so I was happy for it. Spicy Chicken: They gave you a huge amount of food for what you pay for. The chicken I can tell is the same you would use in teriyaki chicken. It was a bit tough to eat and a bit dry, despite being drenched in sauce. The spiciness was indeed present and the onions and bell peppers were nice. The salad was whatever. Overall, I was content with ordering from here. Would consider ordering here again. ”
“ Kanpai Sushi is a nice Japanese eatery that has been in Brentwood since 2005. The ambiance is modern with bits of Asian decor after being renovated. There were 3 animated maneki-neko (beckoning cat) overlooking the indoor seating area. These cats are a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. The service was prompt and our server was very nice and helpful. She accommodated our special request by asking the sushi chef if certain things can be done. We ordered: Appetizer Calamari - 3/5 The calamari was deep fried and the batter was relatively pretty thick, but tasty. The calamari itself was not not tender as I wished. It was more rubbery. Overall, the calamari wasn't bad, but I had better. Maui Roll - 4/5 This was a special sushi. There was a lot of tobico the topped the Maui roll. The cucumber gave the spicy hamachi and rice a nice crunch. The mango sauce with unagi sauce did not agree with my taste buds. I would prefer drizzling all mango sauce or all unagi sauce over the Maui roll instead of mixing the two sauces together. This is a personal preference. Others may like the two sauces drizzled over the Maui roll. That being said, the Maui roll was very good. Bento Combo (sesame chicken and california roll) - 5/5 With the Bento dinner combo, you get to select two items. One from the entree list and one from the "side" list. I selected sesame chicken and California roll. You also get miso soup and salad. The sesame chicken cubes was breaded and fried, then tossed in teriyaki sesame sauce. Very tasty. The california roll was very good. The avocado was buttery, not overripe. The portions were very generous. I would order this combination again in the future. I cannot speak for the less positive reviews that I've read on yelp. If I believed the negative reviews, I would not have tried Kanpai Sushi. We're happy that we did try Kanpai sushi. The service was good, the staff friendly and accommodating. The food we ordered was very good. I would recommend giving Kanpai Sushi a try. It is best to personally try the restaurant and give your own review. We will order other dishes from Kanpai Sushi and update this review. ”
