The best sushi ever. Yellowtail sashimi was perfection. Excellent date night choice. Service was top-notch.

Just Wow!!! Phenomenal food, Outstanding service, and Beautiful Decor and ambiance. We decided to check Kampai out and I'm super glad we did because everything was so fresh and delicious. The fatty tuna and Yellowtail nigiri was my favorite you can most definitely tell the quality of the fresh fish. Prices are a bit on the upscale side but definitely worth the surge for a nice birthday dinner or romantic date night. Parking is located on the street or there is a fresh parking lot near by. Highly recommend to anyone to check it out! read more

When you first walk in the atmosphere is very upbeat and cheerful. The seating is unbelievably comfortable and the music is lively. The service could not be quicker and the waiters are undeniably nice; the attention to details that you don't pick up on but they do, is crazy. The food is on the pricier side however if you want top tier 5 star japanese food, this is the place. Even the wasabi is authentic. read more

I enjoyed a superb meal, albeit an expensive one. The presentation was great and each dish was explained to us by the food runner. They offer an okakase option, but it wasn't like your typical experience. I was told that it's basically endless, while the chef and server choose items for you and you'll pay for each individual item that is ordered for you. I opted to choose my own items and was happy with that. I was very impressed by their quality of fish within a land locked state. 5-6 items and 2 alcoholic beverages totaled about $150 after tax and tip. read more

Sushi was amazing although extremely expensive and unfortunately we missed their happy hour. Also the other clientele was interesting to say the least. Wait staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a small piece of cork in my wine and they replaced it with any issue. read more

Jackson needs more yelpers as this busy popular hot spot in town is highly underrated. They are the only japanese restaurant in town and considering it would be difficult to source some fish you dont find in this part of the country they have a good selection. They have a really nice atmosphere that fits the area well yet keeping an asian japanese theme. Service is very friendly and on par with what you should expect for an upper scale offering. The food choices are all tasty and unique and you can tell detail wasnt spared. I would give them 5 stars if the nigiri was 2 pieces per order, and the sashimi chefs special 10 piece was a little more filling as the slices were on the smaller side. read more

Great experience from beginning to end at Kampai. When we walked in we were greeted right away and then seated. We sat at the Sushi bar and had an awesome server who was very sweet and attentive. I love a good Old Fashion and love the variation in flavors, so the waiter recommended the Open Sesame cocktail which was perfect for this dining experience. We ordered the following items; Akami, Buri, Unagi and Seared Salmon Belly Sushi. We also ordered two Hand-rolls ;Sake Avocado and Spicy Scallop-Avocado and two full rolls; Gros Ventre and the Crypto. Our appetizer was the Gomae (spinach) and we had the Gindara( black cod) entree. Everything was delicious and prepared perfectly!!!!! We will definitely go back next time we are in town! read more

TLDR: The best upscale Japanese food in Jackson. Beautiful, modern Asian aesthetic inside, and the food is just perfection. You can't miss the house salad and nasu eggplant for appetizers, and I have a soft spot for their sweet black cod dish as an entrée. ------ FOOD: 1. [Must Try] House Salad (5/5) - So good we ordered a second one after we tried this. Amazing texture, delicious dressing, felt relatively healthy too. A perfect appetizer. 2. [Must Try] Nasu (eggplant) (5/5) - Eggplant lovers must order this. It come with an addicting miso glaze so if you're trying to watch yourself, you can also order the glaze on the side. I didn't think it was too sweet to have the dish prepared as is though. 3. Black Cod (4.5/5) - The only reason why this is a 4.5 and not a 5 is because this also has that traditional, sticky miso glaze, but it's thicker and sweeter on this so it can be a lot for some people. I personally loved it, and the glaze aside, this cod was melt-in-your-mouth quality. I would ask for lighter sauce next time but this is still almost perfection. Plus a large serving! 4. Crispy Brussels (4.5/5) - Really unique Brussels dish! Comes with salmon caviar/roe that bursts in your mouth as you eat the Brussels sprouts. Gives it that fish / benito flavor that works well with an Asian-inspired Brussels dish. 5. Crypto Sushi Roll (4.5/5) - The seared wagyu on top has a great smokiness that gives this roll character 6. 10 pc Chef Choice Sashimi (4/5) - Great selection of tuna, yellowtail, scallop, black cod, and salmon sashimi 7. Hamachi Serrano (3.5/5) - Not the best I've ever had. I think was too strong on the soy and not enough on the yuzu? Others in the group really liked this though ------ SERVICE: * Top notch. You know this place is attentive and thoughtful. * They were constantly coming by to refill drinks and clear the table of any empty dishes or other small things ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Absolutely beautiful, modern, cozy Asian interior * Has a few different dining spaces all with slightly different vibes but all would have been great to sit at * I didn't feel like it was too crowded such that you could overhear what other tables were saying * Lots of street parking outdoors but by night there are lots of people trying to park so you may need to look elsewhere nearby to park read more

Excellent experience! Although pricey, the food and service was all that you might expect it to be in an upscale Sushi Restaurant. There were two of us, and we ordered a roast brussels sprouts side dish, two starter sushi plates, and one miso cod main meal-all of which we shared. Total bill was approximately $200. We did dine early in the evening, and there was a family sitting next to us with a very fidgety and vocal toddler. It would've been great if they had a separate space for families to have a little more privacy, and the other patrons could have a quieter experience. But overall, it was a great experience. I would go again as a special treat . read more

Although we had a rough start with the hosts not being able to accommodate us in the main dinning room, we had to wait a couple of hours and it was totally worth it. We sat at the sushi bar with a view of the massive bonsai tree in the middle of the dinning room and the Chefs gave a phenomenal experience that did not disappoint. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go again. read more

Best dining experience I had in my visit to Jackson. I was supieses to find a sophisticated; yet unpretentious dining experience like this here. I'm guessing most people are thinking they're visiting Jackson, WY for sushi. Well this place is legit. Chef (believe name is Chris) and Owner comes from San Francisco. He brought the goods with him. He was personable. Answered questions. Tempo of the food came out perfectly. I don't have a complaint on any of the pieces we had. Fatty Tuna was divine. Absolutely the best bite. When I'm back, I'm make a bee line to this place. As you might imagine, don't leave your wallet behind, because you will need it. P.S. Hit me up with you're landing in Austin. I was to be a first customer! read more

My family and I got a booth in the middle of the restaurant and seated right away. Enjoyed sake to start and some appetizers. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food comes out fast and it was delicious. Continued to enjoy the Valhalla roll and always enjoy a miso soup at the end. Definitely recommend read more

Food and Service were great. We did not have a reservation, but were promptly seated at the bar. Bartender was friendly and provided quick polite service. read more

Words cannot describe how amazing the food is here. One of the best restaurants if not the best restaurant I have ever been to. My boyfriend and I loved this place so much that we came back 2 days later. The sushi chefs even recognized us and gave us extra special food. We sat one night at the dining room table and one night at the sushi bar. Both were a great experience and service, but the sushi bar was 1000x more special. The sushi chef can really cater to your taste and were super talkative and friendly. It's hard to choose what my favorite foods were. All the fish were incredibly fresh and high quality. The chef special (nigiri or sashimi) are a great price. My favorite appetizers were the sunomono and the gyoza. This is a fine dining restaurant, but I felt like the price was very fair for the quality and the service. We spent about $100/person (not including tip). read more

If you're in Jackson Hole and love sushi, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. It was so amazing that we ended up going twice during our vacation--we just couldn't stay away! The sushi is incredibly fresh. The sushi chefs are not only talented but also super friendly. They make you feel welcome the moment you sit down. For the best experience, you should definitely dine at the sushi bar. Watching the chefs at work is a show in itself, and they're more than happy to chat and give recommendations. On my second visit, I tried sushi with caviar and foie gras, and it was mind-blowing--the combination of flavors and textures was unforgettable. The service was top-notch, with a team that knows how to take care of you without being intrusive. If you're looking for a unique and delicious sushi experience in Jackson Hole, this restaurant should be at the top of your list. read more

The service and food were amazing. We asked the chef to surprise us with a tuna roll and it was incredible. We tried all different foods and drinks. We had nothing to complain about; we would go back anytime! read more

Was excited to try and was quite disappointed. There were kids running around the restaurant the whole time, probably ran into the bathroom around 10 times lol. The manager asked how everything was and we said the food was good but there are kids running around. He apologized and said they were the children of very important people (like.?) and said he would comp a round of drinks (which he did not). Not worth the price point! read more

This place is certainly special. There's a great attention to detail and the level of excellence is grand.

Forced to reconsider and calibrate expectations and ratings. It's a resort town but trying to consider location and pricing makes it even hard to assess. Space is modern but comfortable. Service is kind and professional. Loved the tree in the center of the dining room, with the shadows projected on the ceiling. I understand it only opened a few months ago so everything is quite new. Arrived a little early for a reservation for 3 and seated in the lounge area, offered water and had the chance to order and sip on drinks. Eventually seated at the counter in front of Chef Peter, and we were able to order sushi directly with the chef himself. Ordered a good mix of rolls, a cooked miso cod plus 2 orders of the sashimi combo. Our added bites were sea perch (I almost always get this if it's available) and o-toro (noticed this was almost ice cold). The o-toro seems like a no brainer if you want tuna at all, as the lean tuna was $10, chu-toro at $11 and o-toro at $12. Sashimi cuts were very generous, in terms of thickness. However, this seemed to highlight one noticeable flaw, which was how watery the cuts were. Not sure if thinner slices would have saved it but was noticeable even in the toro roll. That said, you get your value in quantity, and the flavors were on point. Otherwise, the rolls were pretty good, with many strong flavors which could be good or bad depending on preferences. The wagyu on the crypto roll (only on half of our order) was lost. It might have provided some richness but as with the other rolls there was a lot going on. Cod was cooked well. Chef Peter was quick to respond to sushi orders and kind enough to explain that dark sushi rice was colored from aged vinegar. It didn't have the texture of brown rice or taste like soy sauce so I was curious, but our rice were mostly in rolls so I assumed it could have been sauces. However, we did see a massive order of 11 toro hand rolls with caviar for another party and could clearly see the color of the rice, so we had to ask. We ended with a black sesame vanilla ice cream, and was gifted an additional hojicha softy as well, apparently a personal favorite of the chef. Both were absolutely delicious, and that's coming from someone that doesn't normally care much for dessert. For the price, the wateriness of the fish would normally get a harsher review from me. I understand that most fish need to be frozen to a certain extent but there's definitely a difference in the texture vs. examples elsewhere. Still, considering the location, the quality and comfort of the facilities, along with the friendly staff and service, it adds up to a strong experience overall and a warrants a solid recommendation. It would be unfair to compare to omakase quality in Tokyo and New York even if the prices start climbing into the same territory. Considering the expected clientele there will definitely be customers with even more experience with sushi and I would be very curious about their opinions. For what it's worth, one dining companion was ready to replace a reservation at another spot in town with a repeat booking here. read more

Such a beautiful spot in Jackson that has such a comfortable but posh feel inside. The dining room felt more like you were in a friend's modern home/kitchen. Service was so friendly and prompt from the moment we got in. They got drinks going while we waited for our table to be ready and food came out quickly. The sushi is as good as it gets; truly some of the best sashimi I've had in my life. So melt-in-your-mouth flavorful and fresh! Even got seconds on the salmon it was so good. The cold smoke cocktail with maple sake was also fantastic and such a unique flavor, highly recommend! 10/10 spot, definitely snag a reservation when you can! read more

If you don't mind spending the dollars... Kampai JH is a great choice, and here's why: 1) great sashimi cuts - on our first visit we tried 8 different types and all were ample sized, fresh, and had well thought out presentations. 2) good rolls and other selections - we tried three different rolls, gyoza, and the sashimi pizza (must try) and all were excellent choices. Their spin on gyoza using Wagyu beef instead of pork was a nice treat!! 3) atmosphere- loved the new spot and how it's setup. Comfy chairs, as we were in them for a 2.5 hour experience!! Ready to go back!! read more

Great food. Very innovative sushi. Get a table or sit at sushi bar. Def make a reservation. Great atmosphere. Great service. Very pricey. Been there twice:) read more

Kampai was amazing! We got the happy hour specials and watermelon drinks and everything was just so great including the view.

This is the BEST sushi and cocktails we have ever had! Each dish and drink have wonderful notes of herbs, spices, and other balanced flavors. This isn't the usual boring sushi rolls that you drown in soy sauce for taste! Best Old Fashioned I ever had, and a great mocktail I ordered after even had a delicious edible chrysanthemum as garnish and spicy flavor. The GM recommended it when I said I had a 1 drink max in high altitude. Our waitress was also excellent, and very versed on the menu. She recommended the great fried mushrooms, as well as other dishes. When you. Just can't eat another steak in red-meat country, go and enjoy this amazing and beautiful restaurant! read more

We are visiting Jackson from Florida for a week and made a reservation at Kampai well over a month ago. We love sushi and have sampled it throughout the US. When we made the reservation, the menu looked great and we were very excited about the mix of sushi and ramen. My wife and I were looking forward to our reservation this evening and went online to take another look at the menu. The menu looked totally different from what we reviewed when we made the reservation and considered canceling. We kept the reservation, since getting into another restaurant at the last minute on Friday night, would be tough. We ordered the New Zealand King Salmon sashimi, which was great, but a little expensive. We also ordered the toro suma roll and gros ventre roll. The toro suma roll was lacking content and the rice fell apart, so was tough to eat. The gros ventre roll was average, but at least, it held together. Service was over the top, but wines by the glass were limited and not what you would expect for sushi pairing. We were in and out in less than an hour and dropped $100+ on 1 glass of wine, 2 sushi rolls and 2 pieces of sashimi. read more

We sat at the sushi bar and were taken care of by Jay and Rocky. What an awesome experience! We chose apps but relied on all of the "chef's choice" options on the menu from the sushi to the drinks and nothing disappointed. Fresh sushi and wonderful atmosphere. read more

Nice atmosphere, the waitresses and manager very aware of the service and food is excellent according to their prices.

Food was alright. Best you can find here at a mountain town for sure. Food never disappoints. When I asked for the dessert menu, the server gave us the check instead. Don't know if she understood me wrong. I did specify on the reservation that it was our anniversary, I guess the server didn't really know nor did she care. She definitely gave off that "whatever" vibe. Rooftop was nice. Although menu's a lot more limited. I for sure see a huge difference in service when you're at the sushi bar compared to being at the rooftop. If you're looking for a better service with more selections in the menu, get a reservation at the sushi bar. They'll treat you better down there. read more

Went to Kampai again... and writing another review. The food is simply amazing. You can't find a better quality sushi anywhere. It's truly amazing. If you are in town and want to treat yourself (and ready to spend some $$), unequivocally go to Kampai! read more

Our experience may have been tainted by the fact that we were upstairs - the full menu isn't available upstairs. The chicken appetizer was phenomenal. We had 4 different sushi rolls: spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spider and John Galt and I can't say I enjoyed any of them. Usually I love sushi, but this sushi just wasn't good - tasted a little spoiled/not fresh, flavors just didn't blend well together. The John Galt was particularly disappointing, and that was recommended by our waiter. It happened to be one of the most expensive rolls on the menu at $24. The service was impeccable - like that found at a fine restaurant - water always filled, plates taken away when finished, food was served quickly, check presented promptly with a "no rush" from our waiter. I just wish I knew what items were delicious on the menu. Maybe the sashimi? The vibe is great and I didn't find it expensive as others did. There are "apres" specials from 5-6pm, so that is a good value. I would try to get a seat at the sushi bar downstairs and maybe you'll have better food than we did. read more

Incredible meal last week at Kampai. Sat at the sushi bar and ate omakase with Chef Chris. What a treat. He told us a lot about the fish and made beyond-delicious sushi. Cocktails were also great - loved the spicy mango. The ambiance was sleek and first-rate - it's so nice to see Jackson trending toward a more modern, clean aestethic. Beautiful space and beautiful sushi. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience at Kampai for my birthday dinner! The ambiance was so lovely, I loved that we chose our own sake glasses! Our server was so attentive and had great recommendations. Our food was incredible- we shared shishitos, sashimis, tempura mushrooms, pork belly, and the chefs special (roll & nigiri). Everything was outstanding! The toasted green tea soft serve really blew me away too, so unique! Thank you for such a special birthday dinner!!! Truly one to remember! read more

Had such a wonderful dining experience here. We had a 5:30 reservation but due to an accident we were delayed an hour and they switched our reservation and made the stressful situation disappear. The drinks we had were unique and delicious. We tried a number of dishes and enjoyed all of them. I have to eat gluten free. They provided a gluten free menu and were so nice when bringing out dishes to specify whether I could eat them or not. The staff is very friendly and help make the experience more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes on the menu! read more
