    I love this place. Today was the first time I tried Kanpai and it did not disappoint. I have been looking for another Korean Hot Pot and BBQ restaurant and one of my friends recommended Kanpai. The food was delicious. I ordered the salmon, garlic seasoned brisket and chicken with rice. All of the meat were well seasoned and cooked to my perfection. The rice was cooked a little hard. But overall, it was great. The service was impeccable. The hostess was very friendly and sat me as soon as I walked in. The waitress was very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. She made sure that all my needs were met. The restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing. You can tell they take pride in presentation. Unlike some other Korean BBQ restaurants..the restaurant was very clean. It was a great experience! If you are looking for great Korean BBQ and Hot Pot I recommend checking this place out. I will be back soon. Cheers!

    I was pleasantly surprised by this bbq hotpot spot. Usually if a place has both bbq and hotpot I find that the quality of both are kind of low but the bbq options here were pretty good and I liked the soup options and toppings for the hotpot. It was very flavorful. The buffet also had some good dishes. They also had a variety of drinks. I liked the Thai green tea and the bar made a great old fashioned. The servers were friendly and helpful. The restaurant had a nice ambiance for a buffet style place.

    My daughter took me here today for Mother's day! I feel so spoiled! The place is huge beautifully decorated and plenty of space. Kevin was our server he was very good, accommodating and always asking us how we are. And how's everything? Kelly was also very helpful, she was able to assist us as well. She has a very pleasing personality. We felt very welcomed. Now for the food. It was good but i wished it had more collection when it comes to types of meats. But i get that they have a buffet going on as well so there are many many choices. I loved the soft shell crab and snow crab legs. Desserts were plentiful as well.

    I recently had dinner with some friends at Kanpai and enjoyed my experience! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and gives an upscale vibe. However, the prices are still very affordable! I am not big on buffets for hygienic reasons. However, I did try a few items once they were newly put out. One thing I did not like was how long it took for them to replace certain items. I waited close to 30 mins for fresh pineapple fried rice, which tasted okay. Surprisingly the pad thai was delicious and super moist! I enjoyed the bbq because most kbbq places have limited pescatarian friendly options. The salmon cooked in butter was delicious once I added some garlic a few little spices to jazz it up. The shrimp also tasted super fresh. I would definitely return

    It's one of the best buffet restaurants I have ever been to because of the choices they offered. There were cooked dishes just like any other buffet restaurants, but in addition there were choices of barbecue and hot pot. For an affordable price, you can have it all. Or favorites are soft shell crabs, steamed fish, all barbecue meats and Thai desserts. The service was excellent, very attentive and efficient. It is a huge place but the noise level is unnoticeable. It's a super deal in town!

    Starve yourself before coming here! LOL This was my first time visiting this restaurant. We were searching for newer BBQ spots in the Rockville area that had good rating and it def living up to expectations. We were able to make a quick reservation and our party wasnt seated until everyone arrived. I believe you have a 90 min seating time. Once our servicer Kelly told us how everything worked, we were off to enjoy the buffet portion. There were so many dishes to chose from. I honestly cant even name them all, but there was seafood, and beef and chicken. Also a nice salad bar and dessert section. We kept the robot that brings your food busy when it came to ordering the bbq. We tried lamb, chicken, beef and salmon. Everything was delicious. I will say, if you have a shellfish allergy, beware because there is cross contamination. Even though it was a little price, i would still recommend this to friends. Honeslty, I find it more rewarding when its more than 2 people eating. You will get to try more items because you can get full really quick.

    An updated review on Kanpai since I've gone recently. Reservations are crucial if you want to be seated here in a timely manner. Celebrated my twin cousins birthday here and we had a nice booth with individual hot pots to choose from. The buffet was really demolished so I wish they could have restocked it for dinner. Otherwise, very good options to choose from. Beverages are good, food came out quickly and our servers celebrated with singing to my cousins on their birthday. Let it be known, the whole restaurant knew haha.

    We had visited this place 2x, once during lunch and once during dinner. Of course dinner is pretty busy than lunch. But the service never changed. Always welcomed with a smile and the staff were really helpful. And also with mr robot server. The place is quite huge they can cater small to big groups. Unfortunately you have to be at least 5 pax to reserve but so far the wait they have is at least 30mins the longest, the one we experienced. It's probably depends on what time you will visit. They have parking shared with other strips which is in the front and at the back and a shared garage too. About the food, they offered buffet from appetizers, main course, fruits, sauce, to desserts. In my opinion you really get what you paid for. Now lunch and dinner have different pricing, lunch is much affordable but the menu is quite limited. Now by default you will get bbq and hotpot in one price so it is really good deal. The meat is so good and quality. Also one thing here is after the eating your clothes doesn't smell like smoke. Overall this is one of the top bbq and hotpot place.

    This place is honestly one of my favourite hotpot places in the DMV area! I've only had it for hotpot and have yet to try the Korean BBQ here, but I don't mind missing out on that part. Waitlist can get somewhat long but doesn't hurt checking out the other spots around this strip while waiting. I've been here for lunch and dinner and the all you can eat options for hotpot have been great with their meats, noodles, and veggies. I also love their buffet in the back with their selections of items, especially their seafood options like crab, shrimp... I feel like I end up eating half hotpot and half buffet here. Love their refills of green thai iced tea during the meal too. The staff have always been nice, although it's been hard to get their attention at times, so I'd sit around waiting until they came over for refills or the check. The vibe is fun, especially with people's birthdays and the music here. Definitely recommend this place for a fun and tasty hotpot experience!

    TLDR: A fun and impressive all you can eat experience combining hotpot, Korean BBQ, and a strong Chinese buffet. Fresh ingredients, fast service, great variety, and a surprisingly smooth system for such a packed restaurant. Kanpai is an all you can eat powerhouse offering endless hotpot, Korean BBQ, and a Chinese buffet all rolled into one experience and I am fully on board with it. My group of four arrived on a Friday night around seven to a packed dining room, yet we only waited a few minutes for a table. That alone speaks to how efficient and well organized their front of house operation is. The restaurant is nicely decorated and clearly a new build or renovation with a polished feel that shows someone invested heavily into the space. Once seated, the system is simple. You pay a flat rate and get full access to both the hotpot and Korean BBQ stations at your table along with free range at the Chinese buffet in the back. For hotpot, each table selects two broths which arrive in a split basin set on a built in table burner. From there you order as many meats, seafood, and vegetables as you want. The Korean BBQ operates the same way with a selection of meats and seafood ready to be grilled by you at your own pace. Servers will sometimes help with grilling but during busy times it is easier to handle it yourself. The hotpot is entirely self managed. The buffet is a fantastic addition that more all you can eat places should embrace. It features a nice range of appetizers like potstickers and spring rolls along with more interesting items such as spare ribs, fried soft shell crab, and pineapple fried rice. The sauce bar nearby is loaded with every topping and condiment you could possibly want. As for the proteins, everything we tried for both hotpot and KBBQ was fresh and portioned generously. A small tip for newcomers. Table space becomes very limited when juggling both hotpot and KBBQ, so pace your ordering. Everything is done through a tablet at the table and once you submit your items a robot runs your meats straight to you which was a fun touch. Our highlights included the laksa broth paired with various seafood for hotpot and on the KBBQ side the thin sliced beef and pork belly which were simple but excellent because of how good the meat quality was. Overall, Kanpai delivers a great all you can eat experience and is absolutely worth a visit if you want variety, freshness, and a lively crowd.

    Give the soft shell crabs some love

    2nd time visiting. Daughter felt like having kbbq and hotpot, and Kanpai offers both and much more. I love the food, good service and a clean and comfortable (we had a big table with grill and hot pot). I ate enough for all three of us. Lol. Highly recommend.

    Came by for dinner with some friends and I highly recommend this place. On a sidenote, I will mention that if you're not familiar with this area parking at the shopping center can be quite hectic so if you can't find something in front, I highly recommend just going straight to the back lot and finding a parking space there it will save you a lot of time and stress. Upon walking in kanpai it's a mix of modern and elegant while encompassing a very fun vibe. We saw many birthdays, taking place and they come out with these huge signs and glow sticks and really make it into a spectacle which I love and a special shout out to Camille, the hostess, who bared with us through all of the photo opportunities she was amazing. Food wise for the price you pay it's beyond amazing at the hot bar. You have option such as pad Thai with chicken and shrimp glass noodles with various seafood dumplings, softshell crabs, and so much more the options are almost endless. Then you have various fruits salad available as well as a great variety of desserts for at the end of the meal. At the table, you also then have the option of both hot pot and Korean barbecue and the meat options are also very amazing considering the price . Ordering is made super easy as each table gets a tablet so you can put in your orders without having to wait for a waiter or waitress. Additionally, the food comes out in one of those robotic trays so again wait time is very limited as as soon as it comes out someone or something will deliver it for you. The only thing that was inconvenient was the way that the tables are set up for smaller parties as they have a side-by-side set up of the Korean barbecue and the hot pot so it's not easily accessible for everyone sitting there so there is some assistance that will be needed throughout your dinner. Other than that, I highly recommend as they have great food great service and all-around great vibes!

    The ambience was relaxed until the birthday song rang out accompanied by a large crowd, flashing lights, and 80s style boom box eliciting immediate PTSD followed by memories of an overpriced pizza establishment of days of old. I half expected the conjuring of a 6-foot out of work and struggling stuffed rodent donned in a bright colored costume and crooked smile to appear. It nearly caused me to rush for the exit. The saving grace was the ever helpful, Joanna, she not only came to my rescue but made my experience complete, packed with smiles and great tasting food. Spectacular service! Food: Ample selection and various options offered and available once the ordering system is established. If you are looking for a spot to try something new I highly recommend the Kanpai.

    Is parking plentiful and free?

    Yes, the parking lot in front is free.

    Yes

    Does Kanpai offer lunch pricing on weekends?

    No they don't

    How much is dinner (buffet included)?

    48.99 per person and includes buffet, hot pot and bbq

    Is there a difference between weekday and weekend pricing? for example, is Wed lunch the same as Sun lunch? Thank you!

    Last I went, it was $24.99 for lunch on week days, it's likely dinner pricing all day on weekends.

    How much are lunch prices and dinner prices now?

    I'm not sure about dinner prices but lunch is about $35 per person for shabu shabu, BBQ, and walk up buffet. If you only want to do the buffet, I think its $25pp

The food and service was great. We ordered butter chicken, chicken saag, and garlic naan. The bread was thin compared to other places but was still wonderful and warm when brought to the table. I normally get some version of saag whether it be goat or lamb but they did not have either on the menu so I went with the chicken. The chicken in the creamy spinach sauce was just delicious. His butter chicken was also nicely prepared to our liking which was mild as requested. We ended our meal with complimentary a gulab jamun each. That was so very kind of them. I've actually never had one before and was grateful to try this very sweet treat. It would be great if they had the buffet on a Sunday. It might bring more customers. I would definitely like to come back on a Saturday to try the buffet. Service was wonderful. The staff was very attentive and cleared our plates as soon as we were finished with each item.

The inside had a lot more tables than I thought and the space was bigger than I thought. If i'm being honest, I first chose this place due to the conveyor belt, robot, and $20 lunch price point. Unfortunately, I only kind of got one of those. To my shock, the price increased to $25 for lunch and the conveyor belt was no longer working. I was honestly most excited about the conveyor belt. I saw some reviews that said due to covid they stopped it but if you ordered things, it was sent that way. Unfortunately I think the conveyor belt hasn't been in use for a while because they had decor and everything on it. They did have to robot but it only delivered drink and desserts sometimes. There were even times the robot was on its way to deliver something and the waiter stopped it in the middle of the walkway and deliver the item himself. I wouldn't say the experience was bad but I think it was subpar. Although I did like that the tables give you individual pots because I've been to some places where six people have to share one pot in the middle and it's chaos because you have to reach over people so the individual pot was great. In terms of the actual food it was not bad. The server was actually nice and brought us angus beef which was a dinner item, although we were there for lunch. I mad a great sauce from the sauce bar. I loved the appetizers they had. The fried rice and noodles were exactly how I love it. The fried rice was how i'd have it growing it. All and all loved it and will probably go back at some point. Parking was a little of a hassle so I would keep that in mind. Even during lunch it was hard to find adequate street parking.

Everything was good except for one thing, which I think is pretty important and influences my final score. When we arrived, I told the server we were new to hot pot and we wanted to try two broths. He showed us the iPad ordering device and told me that we should order a half and half pot for $1 extra to get two broths. So, I ordered a half and half pot, and then ordered a variety of meats and fish. We went up to get veggies, which were all being stored at a good cold temp and all looked good. Then a single SMALL pot (they have two sizes of hot pot) was delivered to our table, half one broth and half the other. As I put some of the ingredients in (we were feeding two people), the hot/spicy broth spilled over to the other (tom yum) broth, and essentially turned the whole meal into a spicy broth meal. We got no taste of the tom yum. As we ended the meal, I noticed that other couples had two different pots. We essentially were cramming food for two people into a single pot (and it was one of the small pots, not one of the big ones). As we went to pay the check, I asked the server if we should have gotten two individual pots, each with a different broth. He said "oh yes. I should have told you that." What??!!? So, we basically spent well almost $90 (including tip) for a single small pot of spicy broth mixed with other broth, and having to spend the time minimizing the transfer of broths from one side to the other by minimizing the amount of food we put into the small pot. Yes, I'm ticked off (and I don't tick off easily). The meal would have been very good, but I feel like we got taken advantage of and the server, when he saw us struggling to keep the broths separate and knew he should have been served two pots, didn't say a word, apologize, or offer us any discounts. I reached out twice to the restaurant through Yelp, but heard nothing back. Again, the meats looked good, the veggies looked good, the sauce station was a nice addition. But everything was crammed into a small pot that tasted the same. And they charged us an extra dollar for the privilege! Ugh. I'm really disappointed - and ticked off.

There's a limit on nigiri/sashimi to one piece per order. What that means is that, when you put in your first (and subsequent orders), you can order one tuna, one salmon, etc nigiri/sashimi. That is a lot better than what I originally thought, which was one nigiri/sashimi total for each round. The variety in the AYCE is impressive. Lots of sushi, sashimi, nigiri, salads, soups, variety of appetizers (not all fried stuff!) and hibachi (beef, chicken and shrimp). Tonight, the food arrived pretty quickly after we put in an order. There was an issue toward the end of the evening when the app stopped working at our table and the table next to ours. The Staff did what they could to fix things; it did take about 20 minutes, though. I'm assuming this isn't typical. Staff did say that this does happen from time to time and the customer needs to exit the app and reorder. Except for the 20 minute delay, things worked fine.

Any rolls with tempura shrimp were soggy and lukewarm. Don't trust any videos you see online of this place because the actual rolls you get are 70% rice.

The servers don't really go over the menu much, so if it is your first time for all you can eat, make sure to take notice that the crab legs do come with a few different flavor options.

I understand they are protecting their profits, but that has taken us away from this place on more than one occasion to eat elsewhere as some wanted it and another family members wanted to order off the main menu. Also, service can be extremely slow, and I am not sure if it is intentional or not, but we have complained more than once and made them extend our time. Last time we went, they set our first order of food down on the table and as we were eating, the waitress walked by no less then 5 times and didn't bother to ask if we wanted anything else. Then, magically, when our food was gone, we could not get anyone to come to the table for 15 minutes. Upon ordering our next round, it took another 20 more minutes for the food to arrive. They are sticklers about the 90-minute time frame, and we explained that twice this has happened and 60 minutes of our 90 minutes was wasted waiting on a server and then the food took forever. They allowed us one more round of food, which we appreciated and thought was fair. We start a stopwatch now and if we feel things are going slow, we address that with the server and sometimes put in a new order when the food is being dropped off. Overall, we are pleased to come here a few times a year. We only get all you can eat and usually are happy when we leave. The food is inconsistent as we do get the lobster tail with all you can eat, and it is usually overcooked and can chew like rubber, but still has good flavor. The crab legs sometimes come out waterlogged with salt, but most times piping hot. This is your typical "average" 3-star restaurant. If you are prepared to spend the money for all you can eat, you will leave satisfied and full, but never will you think "I wish I could come here every week". I have not ordered specific entrees off the regular menu so I cannot speak on portion size or quality of the food by ordering that way. Staff is always pleasant, but you do need to get on them if they are slacking.

    I had been here several years back with my sister but finally made it in again with my husband…read more Now that we live nearby hopefully we will come more often. You have a choice between AYCE or by the pound. I know last time I came I got AYCE but honestly I don't eat that much anymore, so by the pound is more cost effective for me. There also are two different prices based on whether you want BBQ + sushi with your buffet. (Sushi??? I'll stick to BBQ when going Brazilian.) I tried to sample small amounts of the dishes on the buffet and then got some picanha and another steak cut (maminha). Both BBQ cuts were very good - I liked the maminha more. (Fraldihna is my usual favorite, and it's kind of similar to the maminha.). They had a chicken with capers that was probably my favorite of the buffet dishes. The stroghanoff wasn't bad. Some of the other meat dishes on the buffet were a bit dry. I got a mystery empanada which turned out to be guava & cheese, if it had been warmed it would have been better. I love guava, but there was just a little small rectangle of guava paste in the very center; probably 80% of the empanada had no filling. Similarly, the cheese bread balls were cold and hard. Those need to be right out of the oven to be worth it. It's a shame, they probably were good when they were first made but they weren't by the time I got to them. The potato salad was ok but the balance of mayo to potato & other veg was off (too much mayo). I had some fresh fruit too. All in all, I'd definitely come back (I love the steak!) but I'd focus on the things I know are good rather than trying a lot of things.

    The food was tasty, but unfortunately the service was almost nonexistent. My friend and I came in…read morefor lunch and had to ask three times before a waiter finally came to our table. We ordered pizza, and when it arrived it was cold. After the food was delivered, we again had difficulty getting anyone's attention to ask for water and later the check. While the food itself had good flavor, the lack of attentive service made the overall experience disappointing. There are other places to enjoy Brazilian food where customers receive much better attention and better food.
