Absolutely Fabulous! – I've lived in Virginia Beach my whole, long life. Lots of good restaurants, very few great ones. This sushi place is unlike all others in the greater Hampton Roads area. It's clean, smells fresh (not of old fish), the ambiance is great (they usually play JAZZ music), service is fabulous as is the food. It doesn't look like much from the outside...but on the inside it is a jewel! The owner and head sushi chef not only serve the freshest sea food in town, but it is artistically presented. It's the real d... read more

The ONE & ONLY place to get authentic Japanese food! – Sushi is an art ladies and gentlemen! And as such it is only expected that the suhi chef's take special care in creating dishes that are aesthetically appealing. And this takes time! That being said, Kanpai isn't your run of the mill fast food imitation sushi shop! This is the REAL deal! Sushi isn't about "big" peices of fish stupid! It's about the flavor and presentation. Hell, try eating sushi in Japan. No "big" peices because that's not sushi! It's about being fresh! ... read more

Best sushi in Hampton Roads for the price – The sushi is the freshest I've had around here. My wife and I go for both our birthday's, our anniversary, or just because! Being from the west coast, my wife and I expect, above all, for the sushi to be fresh and tasty in its simplest form. Many places around here have tons of gimmicky rolls with everything in them including fried items! (hecch!) but when it comes to a good piece of fresh sashimi or a quality hand roll, they fall short. This place comes through for us consistently... read more

Not worth it!! – Very thin strips of fish, over priced, poor slow service, would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!! I don't normally write reviews, but I thought people should know.

Food is good - service is SLOW – We had (as a group of 5) gone there for lunch a few times, but today?s service was the worst. It took about 20 minutes of sitting in this small restaurant before we even had our order taken. Then to top it of there was a table of Asian gentlemen (about 10 of them) who came in after us and we served way before us. Their orders were put through the kitchen first, with ours no where in sight. I felt discriminated against! After it was all said and done ? the lunch cost us about 2 hours out of or... read more

Don't let the store front fool you. – As a frequent visitor to Sushi joints around the nation I found myself in Norfolk with the craving and as usual I jumped to citysearch to find a place to go. Most resturants you can tell almost right away by pulling into the parking lot wether or not you have made a good decision on your choice of chow for the night but not here. I have to say that I was a bit timid as the place looks a bit down scale and frankly being in the strip mall that it is makes it look more like a deli than the ... read more

Amazing! – I was sad to see this low rating, to me it is just a 10! I can't stay away, I come here each week for dinner. A must to order is the Tuna Cappricio, the Tuna is sliced perfectly, it's like butter in your mouth, it is soaked in Ponzu sauce, a sprinkle of Kosher salt and topped w/pinenuts. I have a couple of favorite rolls which are the Crazy monkey and the Viva Las Vegas. My man and I eat here each week (he wasn't a sushi fan until this place) He orders a Vocano bowl(spicy) and his new fav is the sumono appetizer. ... read more
