The service here at Kampai never fails, as the wait staff and hostesses (and essentially everyone there) are friendly, welcoming, accommodating, attentive, and always approachable. The entire bar area has been recently redone in the past year or 2 and is very clean and modern. More renovations are to come! You are seated as soon as possible, and your water glass will never be empty. The mushroom soup is fresh and the broth is flavorful, the salad dressing is absolutely famous (and is available for purchase to take home!), and all the food is fresh and portions are generous. The cooks are friendly, funny, and talented, and by no means hold back on portions. Meals come with a type of protein (the possibilities and combinations are endless), fried or steamed white rice, noodles, shrimp flambé, sauteed vegetables, soup, and salad. The sushi upstairs is always fresh and delicious as well, made expertly and in the classic Japanese tradition. The care that they have towards their fish, avocado, sushi rice, sauces, etc. are above and beyond.
Honestly, you can't go wrong with classic Japanese fare, as other hibachi restaurants that I've been to have never made the cut. You get traditional, classic cuisine that is consistently delivered with quality. Other hibachi restaurants like 9 East in Branford just can't compare in my opinion. Would definitely recommend to others, family nights and date nights alike. It's enjoyable to anyone of any age.
Entertaining for all members of the family both young & old. Can't beat fresh cooked food (right before your eyes, LITERALLY!) Great drink specials too!
Note: if anyone at the table has a dietary restriction or an allergy or anything, they are really accommodating and will make sure that everyone is safe, happy, and well fed.
Honestly I could gush about this for pages on end but I will be short and sweet go here! The pricing was good, the hibachi was entertaining, the food incredible, over all a grand experience that everyone should go have even if its only one time.
Where to start, how about from someone who never eats fish like shrimp or medium rare meats this place is AMAZING! The staff was kind and funny, the food is the best I have had in years, the portion it out and pace it perfectly.

Great food, everything tastes a little different, and in a good way compared to other Hibachi steak houses. Seems like they make things from scratch here rather than buying the same stuff everyone else uses.
Hibachi Dining area was a little too small & tables were close together. I felt crowded. Food was good & staff very nice. It has a nice bar area.
