Authentic, high quality, welcoming and family friendly atmosphere. Excellent curry, ramen, and my first jellyfish dish. We also really enjoyed the service and an excellent customer experience.

An authentic Japanese food location, with all the convenience offered by American size seating and tables. The food is oshee (delicious) and the price is no more than a burger meal...no comparison in quality!

I’ve been dining here for years. I’m not a regular but I do come back once a year to introduce their exquisite cuisine to a close friend or family member. Their staff is always working hard to serve you as you deserve. They give you a warm welcome and are always polite to everyone. The food which is their key to success is top notch. It’s simple but delicious. Too many dishes to recommend but I love their soups and appetizers the most. I’m glad they have good business despite the pandemic and lack of staff, keep it up team!

I’ll start by why I did not give Kanpai a 5… Absolutely nothing to do with the food. The staff has always been super friendly. But; if it’s about honesty, and I truly love this place…. More than once I’ve had to remind them about orders not being brought on time. The last two times we were there they have also brought out to our table the wrong order; which means some other party was waiting on their food. We also made reservations and they were not ready and got them confused with another party. But please do understand the food is amazing, I guess it also comes with understanding it’s a small place with a lot of demand.

First time eating here came during lunch and felt very comfortable being here. Service is really great with friendly and attentive staff which makes it a nice quiet place to enjoy a great lunch. Tried the curry udon and it was absolutely amazing, perfect thick noodles in a rich flavorful curry broth. Highly recommend to come and give a try. Will surely be back another time for dinner.

Although this restaurant is located in an older part of Chula Vista, the service and food do not disappoint! We’ve been to this restaurant many times over the years and the quality of the food is always consistently outstanding. If you want some good tasting Japanese food, and you happen to be in the San Diego area, I highly recommend you stop in for a bite to eat. There is a wide selection of dishes ranging from ramen, sushi, sashimi, and even Japanese soul food dishes. Give it a try!

Visited Friday and then came back to lunch this afternoon! Wonderful both times. Service is excellent, the food is authentic. I highly recommend this if anyone wants to have true Japanese fare.

Superb small restaurant with authentic food, not only cooked extremely well (as well as nice sized portions), but also served by real Japanese people.Oh and other diners were also Japanese, so you know that generally is a good thing.Menu had a nice varied selection, and we werent kept waiting for any unnecessary time and food was served promptly and from a very nice experienced server.I would highly recommend dropping by for a meal if you are in the area and like the cuisine.

Friendliest restaurant in San Diego County! Staff is beyond kind & food is so tasty! They are so accommodating to my family of 6. They love my little kids every time we eat there. My kids devour the sushi, soup & edamame!

One of the longest, established Japanese restaurants in the Southbay. The ladies that work there, have been there for years and they are friendly and efficient .The food is comfort, Japanese food and the udon is legit.The Asian sushi chef is gone now, replaced by non-Asians, but he/they do a decent job.This is my parents favorite place to eat, and judging by the age of most of the folks there, it must be a great place for folks over 75.😃🍜Its not fancy or cutting edge Japanese food, but its solid and filling.
