Kanpai

We come here often and like it a lot. The Google maps rating is a 4.3 - a whole point above the Yelp rating. Almost all of their 1 star ratings are 3-5 years old - thanks Yelp for keeping that around! Great algorithm. Any way, the spicy scallop rolls here are sublime, really like all the rest of their sushi, have eaten our way through most of the menu and it's all really good, plus the staff is super nice and super helpful. I would highly recommend. It's delicious!

Kanpai has my favorite Grilled Chicken Udon in town! I preferred the Special chirashi this time. I felt this bowl was a bit over price. However, the real crab meat California Roll was the highlight.

Came in for lunch and this place that is usually busy was actually empty. I am thinking because it was a Friday and most businesses work from home on Fridays. Got seated right away and ordered a bento box. The chicken was fresh as is and it was nice that it wasn't covered in sauce... could actually taste the grilled chicken. The California was nice as well and made with real crab. Overall this place was good and service can be a tad slow, but that is because it is all freshly made. Cute place and smaller than what I would imagine, but they use the space well. Parking can be tough as it is on a Main Street, but there are plenty of side street parking.

We came here for lunch date. Super clean and quiet place. We are vegetarian we ordered some vegetarian options like cucumber sushi, mushrooms sushi and avocado sushi all were Super fresh food. We cleaned our plates and less than 10 minutes. my husband ordered spicy tuna and he loved it. Check it out when you're in the area and parking is not a problem.

Food is delicious and fresh, service is fast and very friendly, and the ambience is quiet and calm.

Another stellar lunch! Ordered some of our favorites - quick friendly service.

With all the sushi options on the peninsula and south bay, this is not one of them. Though the menu and specials listed higher end selections of Toro and Ankimo, the taste of them were bland and didn't meet the price point that was listed. The rolls such as the Rainbow, Spicy scallop, Salmon/Avocado were below average as the rice was not seasoned and the rolls were not cut and packed very well, as they fell apart when you grabbed a piece.The bento boxes were ok as the agedashi tofu was well prepared but the tuna sashimi that came with the 2 item option was on par with the other sushi as it was not sliced properly and lacked flavor.The service was excellent as our waiter was very attentive and the food came out quickly.There seems to be something positive about the other items as the place was packed during lunch as we were finishing up unless they were all first timers like myself.So if you are in the area and craving sushi I would move along.

Reasonable pricing for Palo Alto, but the sushi's neta quality was very disappointing. The subpar freshness and taste were so bad that its lower pricing couldn't justify it. Not worth the visit.

Steven is a wonderful server. He remembers our favorites - down to extra lemon for my water to extra ginger. The food is so fresh and delicious. Chefs are friendly acknowleding guests. My favorite place!

I was looking for a new sushi place to try and would always see this restaurant as i drive around. Overall it was fine, i went during lunch hours and was greeted immediately. I was handed an order sheet to quickly select sushi on top of the menu. They did have a bento boz special and as customers came in that seemed to be the popular item. All in all, it was okay. Not the worst but definitely not the best in terms of flavor. The fish tasted the same as ever other sushi place and it lacked any uniqueness in flavor. They did use thick cuts for the nigiri. Also the tea is served very hot that you can't drink it until it cools. Even holding the cup would be a bad idea.
