Everything about this restaurant was great! The service was top notch, as well as the atmosphere. There are plenty of tables and large roomy booths. I HIGHLY recommend getting the stuffed avocado as a starter. For an entree they have a great selection of sushi rolls and other food for the non sushi crowd. Definitely get at least one roll that is served flaming.

UPDATE 2: Please read the replies the owner has given to me. You sir or ma’am are out of control. Someone needs to take your keyboard away. My original review was mixed with critiques *and* complements. Why would you be so negative in front of the world? Again, I would NEVER go here unless you want to be belittled and yelled at (virtually or in person).

Food was good but for a place that wasn’t very busy it took a long time to get service. Could have been a number of things but my wife and I were surprised to be waiting so long when we arrived and then evert step of the dinner. Still it’s good sushi and the atmosphere is good for date night.

UPDATE: After being invited back to give Kanpai another try, I returned excited to try something new. We had the Oyster Shooter (which had a nice bite), Stuffed Avocado (which was absolutely amazing), Menage a Trois, Dragons Den, Boss, Blue Fin Nagiri Atoro, Truffle Parmesan Akimi (an interesting and savory blend of flavors) and Vegetable Udon. All were extremely delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. Our reservation was taken without hassle, and followed up with a confirmation text. We were seated in a well lit booth near the sushi bar, which is always a showpiece. Unfortunately, there was no bartender the night we were there, and they were down a host. This meant the owner and on-site staff had to work extra hard to service the guests. While there was a wait for drink and food, the quality of what we had was worth the wait. I will definitely be going back to eat my fill of sushi!

I was in town for a work trip. Food was great, vibes were great, waiter was great. I got the dragon roll and the “oh my god” because I wanted to see the fire. The fire was awesome and the roll itself was pretty good. The dragon roll though???? I want to eat it every day for the rest of my life. Too bad I live 12 hours away 🙁

Had a great dinner experience here. I loved the statement piece above the sushi bar area. My favorite part of my meal was the flaming Hawaiian Volcano roll. I also tried the fried gyoza, Menage A Trois roll, along with a special sake recommendation. Good value for what I paid as well.

Wild location for the best sushi I’ve had in WI! Excellent service on a busy weekend dinner during Summerfest. Best starter salad and miso soup I’ve ever had at a sushi restaurant (having worked at two as well). Got a sushi boat, everything was so fresh. So much attention to detail and fantastic ingredients. Such a nice break from WI carb salt fat laden food. Thank you so much, we’ll be back!

My favorite sushi place in Milwaukee. Lunch specials are great and their rolls are always delicious and the price is right. Some of it could use a facelift like the bathroom, but overall it’s a good experience.
