Kanpai Izakaya

This was our second time at Kanpai. The food was fabulous. We had a large group(13), so we made reservations ahead of time. Everyone ordered something different, and everything I tried was exceptional. I really loved the Hawaiians volcano as they light it at the table, and it brings a beautiful flavor to the roll. I had salmon belly nigiri, and it was exceptional. The Boss roll was so flavorful. We also had the Sweet and Spicy Gyoza which was truly delicious. I can't wait to go back.

This was one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had! We went on a Saturday evening, and it was phenomenal. We got seated immediately, and was greeted kindly by our server, Emily. We had fried pork gyoza and the stuffed avocados which were amazing. We also had the crunch munch, rock n’ roll, a California roll, shrimp tempura maki roll, MKE roll and the flaming Oh My God roll. We also dipped on sweet pear drink. Our server was so incredibly attentive and kind. She would see about anything we need. Ultimately, this is a place that every person who loves sushi should go! This is an outstanding place for sushi.

Sushi was so good and fresh! Salmon and scallop were amazing. Great service.

I made a reservation here for a birthday dinner. Our server was nice, but we waited about an hour and a half for our food. The sushi was mediocre and overpriced. One person in my party had to send their food back because their sashimi was frozen in the middle. I think we should have been offered a complimentary item off the menu or a discount off the bill, but we were not. The person in my party was offered a bottle of wine, but she does not drink. No other attempt was made to rectify the situation. Also, the staff was aware that we were celebrating a birthday but nobody really made an effort to make it special, especially after everything that happened. Overall, very disappointing and frustrating experience. I will not be going back.

If i could give this place less stars I would. Came in sat at the sushi bar none of the three chefs even said anything to me. The server was nice and friendly. I was waiting for over 15 minutes . Am the only person at the sushi bar at the time with one other table in the whole place. I got up and asked to pay for my snaki. Cause that the only thing that I had. A young man comes out to tell me that my food is ready and that it wasn't even that long. My starter was a roll. I paid for my saki and left.

I enjoyed my visit to Milwaukee and found this gem. The atmosphere is authentic, and they offer an excellent selection of sushi!
