    Hokkaido sun
    Amy L.

    Stopped into Kanpai for happy hour after a showing and it was such a great surprise. Tuesdays are a win with their buy one roll, get one roll free special, which made it even more fun to try a few different rolls. The sushi was fresh, well presented, and clearly made with care. Bonus points for the $7 large glass of Nigori sake, which was smooth, lightly sweet, and generously poured. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great happy hour vibe, solid specials, and an easy place to unwind after a long workday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely adding this to my regular rotation and recommending it to friends and clients alike

    I came back a second time and I still give it a 4 for that happy hour. It's a great deal and the sushi is decent. My favorite is the spicy tuna crispy rice. I can eat just plates of that alone. For drinks, I love the lychee martini. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love coming here for a good time and good vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fun. Good. I will come back. Happy hour is from 5-7pm. If you sit at the bar all the plates on the conveyor belt are $4. They have a bunch of good stuff. Everyone is very friendly. You have to get there early for happy hour or you will have to wait or may not get a seat at the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar stays full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    SWEETHEART

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have to say, I hate how all the tables are like the cooking at your seat tables - it made it extremely uncomfortable and I couldn't stretch my legs out comfortably.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, they didn't even offer us the stove top menu so we were simply just so confused. I think they should take some of those tables out and put regular ones in. Spicy crispy tuna was ok - not the best I've had but def not the worst , it was solid. Lobster and crab Rangoon - these were also fine, nothing to come back for. The Mentaiko Cream Udon was 10/10 - truly an AMAZING dish. It was creamy and flavorful, rich, it was just soooo good, I would come back just for this dish and this dish only!!! SOOOO GOOD. Sweetheart roll - I wasn't obsessed with, these was a taste that I didn't love - it did feel fresh but it was too sweet for my liking

    Stopped in for a quick dinner with my brother. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were hoping to grab seats by the sushi belt, but no luck this time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Still, Kanpai never disappoints. This wasn't my first visit--it's one of my go-to spots for sushi in Boca. Whenever I'm craving sushi around here, Kanpai is always top of mind!

    TUNA ROLL, salmon sashimi, bluefin tuna sashimi
    Heather C.

    Best sushi spot in Boca! I love that their happy hour goes until 7 pm. The chicken gyoza was excellent with the sweet chili sauce. I enjoyed the Asian mule, however, we didn't like the espresso martini. It was too sweet and not much espresso flavor. The sushi is supreme! So fresh. We love the salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, tuna rolls, red light district, and spicy tuna rolls.

    I was surprised Kanpai was open as last I remember it burned down from a fire! So as a result I wanted to try it out again! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a huge inside area with different portions of the restaurant. They also have two bars and they have the sushi bar seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sushi bar seating area used to be boats but now it is a conveyor belt.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was really looking forward to both happy hour and the sushi conveyor belt. Happy hour goes from 5 to 7 every day. We ordered edamame and fried rice from the happy hour menu. Then, every plate on the conveyor belt is four dollars during happy hour. I got there around 5:45 and was able to get a seat at the bar. For the first fifteen minutes we were able to get a few yummy plates from the belt. We got bang bang shrimp. A couple sushi rolls. Some other dishes too. Then is where disappointment came in. After getting about three plates, then the plates all left slowly the conveyor belt with only a few undesired ones left to spin around for a very long time. I really wanted some basic rolls like a j and b roll or a crunchy California roll but nothing was coming around. It got pretty disappointing so I decided to stay to see how long until the conveyor belt would be restocked. It took nearly an hour which it was no longer happy hour. Then it slowly got only a few new rolls of which I was starving and grabbed one. That spicy salmon roll was good I grabbed, but they lacked variety and we just decided to leave. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The A/C was also definitely broken as it was hot inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The chefs were not friendly like in the past where they would see us visibly sad the conveyor belt had nothing we wanted and literally no rolls on it, they used to ask if there was one we were looking for but these new chefs did not do that in anyway. I definitely want to caveat, every experience may be different, it all depends how many people are at the restaurant, who are the chefs, and the availability of rolls. So I would like to give it another try, I was just really excited to try Kanpai again and left with disappointment at the end this time.

    This is my first time back at kanpai since it reopened. I haven't been here in a long time so I was excited to finally check it out and see how it changed. The inside and outside is nice, but the place was not as full as I thought it would be for a Friday night. They didn't even have the conveyer belt sushi bar open which was disappointing. I did love the menu, there were so many yummy things that I wanted to try and want to come back to try. My friends and I all had 2 different sushi rolls and we all loved our rolls. Drinks were amazing too. Service wasn't the best but it wasnt terrible. Will definitely be back!

    Saw this on social media so I stopped in. I sat at the rotating sushi counter. $4 per plate, though many items were only 2 pieces of sushi. Others 4. I didn't think the sushi was really that good. Drinks were great! Probably won't return, server was good. Just average to me.

    TORCHED TRUFFLE AVOCADO
    Kimberly K.

    The torched avocado roll is not the same anymore and no longer my favorite. Comparing my photos on here, it looks to be missing the sauce which was probably the key ingredient that made this dish delicious before. Gave them another chance to redeem their steamed egg but looked waaaaaayyyyy worse than the 1st steamed egg from a while ago... It was one whole hard piece of egg turd. How embarrassing for them to even send this out! They need to learn how to make this properly or just completely take it off the menu! I've never seen such a humiliating version of the steamed egg that is supposed to be nice and fluffy, not a dried up rock! Needless to say I sent it back and the server who took it looked shocked at what that was. Thank goodness for the udon dish, chicken gyoza and avocado fries. Those items were actually good. Ambiance was the same but they had their front doors locked until 5p but their bar was already full, thought that was odd unless they had some kind of event or something going on before they opened.

    Salmon roll
    Ashley S.

    Went for their daily happy hour. The drinks looked really interesting, and the bar was busy, but I didn't end up tasting their drinks in the end. They have some happy hour deals on appetizers, nigiri, sushi rolls, and yakitori skewers. Bang bang shrimp and Tokyo fries were tasty. Sushi was definitely not the freshest, so I'd recommend sticking to the cooked items. Overall, an okay spot, but I'd recommend for drinks and hot apps than for raw fish.

    SALMON ROLL
    Marc L.

    Stopped by Kapow for happy hour and it did not disappoint! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe inside is fun, modern, and energetic--perfect for a casual night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Korean fried chicken (crispy, flavorful, with just the right kick), bang bang shrimp (so good we almost ordered a second round), and edamame to snack on. The salmon roll was super fresh and nicely portioned. They also have great drink specials that make it easy to stay for "just one more." Service was friendly and fast, and the happy hour menu had enough variety to keep things interesting. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the Mizner Park area!

    Happy Hour - Spicy Tuna Rolls, & KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN
    Marcy Y.

    Went to Kanpai for Happy Hour on a Friday & definitely would recommend them for Happy Hour. The location provides a slightly elevated feel with great happy hour deals! This includes both deals on cocktails and food whether seated at the table or bar. Their food portions for happy hour are great! Unlike some other restaurants that have happy hour prices, the portions leave you hungry and your pockets empty. Not here at Kanpai! I ordered 2 happy hour items (sushi & Korean fried chicken) and was full. I would be interested in coming back for their regular dinner menu as well.

I posted over 25 pictures of my experience below please have a look and let me know if you have any questions. We were a party of 3 and in order to reserve our spots we had to make a separate deposit of $50 per person. After your meal the deposit either can get refunded or put toward your meal. The food, the ambiance, and service was out of this world. The fish tasted like butter. The sashimi was unlike any sashimi I've ever had.

We both enjoyed everything we ate, and each other's company. There is plenty of parking that's well lit, the restrooms were clean, and the restaurant appeared clean as well. By the end of dinner, we both were full and could not eat one more bite. We definitely want to come back for another lovely evening. Thank you kindly to the team members for a memorable evening.

Maybe it's quieter outside but those tables are right next to the street. We had to yell to hear each other. Our server Sebastian was so pushy and constantly upselling us. As soon as we sat down, he asked whether we wanted still or sparkling water, but that question should always have 3 options: still, sparkling, or tap? He then recommended the signature omakase, the most expensive thing on the menu. When he came back to take our order, he made a big pitch of today's rib special. When my husband ordered the 8-piece nigiri, he pushed us to upgrade to the 12-piece option. As we were eating, he asked us what else we wanted to order. We ordered $130 of food for 2 people...seriously? We hadn't even finished yet to gauge if we were still hungry. I know that tips are a percentage of the bill, but you would've thought this kid was getting a commission on top of his tip or something. It rubbed us the wrong way. The tuna crispy rice was $5 per piece and the rice was weirdly chewy. Wouldn't order it again. The nigiri were the highlight of the meal. Each piece felt balanced and the sushi rice was good. We ordered 3 rolls: toro toro, scallop, and yellowtail. All were forgettable and expensive for what they were. The yellowtail roll was bland, which is probably why there's a chili ponzu sauce to go with it because otherwise all you can taste is pear, which isn't a flavor I'm looking for in sushi. We ended our meal with scallop tacos, which were good but microscopic and pricey ($17 for 2 tacos). Each one is a bite and a half. It took a while to flag down Sebastian for the bill, so we were stuck in the din of the restaurant for longer than we liked. If the restaurant's filling up, wouldn't you want to turn our table and seat new guests? My husband made a note on the res that it was my birthday, but it was ignored. Maybe we would've had a better experience with a different waiter, but this was a disappointing meal and service.
