This is a good local sushi restaurant. The proprietor seems to know EVERYONE who comes in. That makes for a friendly atmosphere. The menu is quite good. I look forward to trying menu items beyond the creative sushi rolls.

This place is not just aesthetically pleasing, but they serve absolutely delicious sushi! Everything tastes very fresh. Service is great. I really don’t have any complaints about it and will continue to return here - especially for their lunch specials. You can get a sesame chicken combo with a California roll, soup and salad for under 15.00 - Can’t beat that!

Great, quick service, and staff is super friendly. The sushi is soooo good. Would definitely go again.

This is amazing sushi. The calamari is a must try. It's incredible. The rolls are fresh and large portions. I go here every time I come to Orange County from Texas.

I typically get take out but … I got hooked 😊 on KANPAI while living in the immediate area! Since I’ve moved about 15 min away now. And I only use them… they are sheer perfection!!!! Staff is AWESOME, SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING! MR

This is our family's weeknight sushi place. We bring the kids who absolutely demolish the crunchy rolls. My favorite is the yellow tail buffalo roll. The fish is always delicious and the service is always great. They take extra care of our kiddos. The Yoshi rolls are a personal favorite too. The price is fair too!

Hands down our favorite sushi spot. We come here often and the quality is always excellent. Consistently great food and service.

​I've had a lot of sushi in Orange County, and this spot is one of the best—and the price is right. The high-quality food, the location, and the fantastic staff all make this place a winner. Tom and his wife are an absolute delight. ​I highly recommend the Poki bowl. This place was serving up poki bowls long before they were on every corner. The quality is so much better, and you get way more fish. It's a must-try.

Sushi was ok! 4/5. I didn't like how much raw onion was put on my salmon Alaska roll though. The interior was cute. Easy parking. Half booth seating. Big menu. Can't say it's the best sushi for the price but not bad.

Their rolls are really good. Sashimi seems a bit pricey and I wish they wouldn't use such thin slices for the Chirashi...but that being said, it was very tasty. The winner for me here is the spicy beef teriyaki! I always see a lot of people here but with the pandemic still around, I prefer to takeout. Oh, and the tempura is actually rich in flavor! I also recommend the Alaska roll. Support your local restaurants! Make sure to tip well even for takeout!

A little expensive, but very fast service. I ordered over the phone, and got the food in less than 10 minutes. The pork curry cutlet was great. Good texture and flavor. The salad on the side wasn’t too great. Also, they do a good job of packing the to go bags

I went there yesterday and ordered two rolls. The food was okay. I have had better sushi else where. The food was dry. For the two rolls we ordered we only got a small amount of ginger. Overall it was an average place.

Service was good. Sushi was alright, but I've had better. Not a fan of the credit card machine that makes you put in preselected tips on the spot right in front of the waiter.

was my first time trying this Japanese restaurant. When we first walked in, the interior looked nice and the restaurant appeared fairly clean. However, once we were seated, the experience started to decline. Aside from one South Asian staff member who was friendly and professional, most of the other employees appeared unhappy and unapproachable. The overall service felt cold and lacked warmth. The food took an unusually long time to arrive. We only ordered two sushi rolls, yet the wait was excessive. Unfortunately, the flavor was very underwhelming. The sushi was so average that the two of us could not even finish two rolls. The tea was another disappointment. It tasted extremely diluted, and the color suggested the tea leaves may have been reused multiple times.

Been here many times, always good, but Wednesday I ordered a spicy tuna roll. Four hours later I got violently ill. Vomiting & diarrhea, I don’t think I can go back.
