    Four rolls. Eel special, mt tom, golden lobster and Alaska roll.
    David T.

    Kansai Asian bistro is a nicely decorated sushi restaurant located across from the town green in Belchertown. It has a decent sized dining area with a large bar for drinks and several TVs scattered throughout. My wife and I met her sister and son for dinner tonight. Let's start with the good. Huge menu with multiple choices of Asian inspired food to choose from. From ramen to hibachi to sushi they have a fantastic selection to choose from. The food itself is also very good. We tried the beef bulgogi appetizer, eel special roll, golden spicy lobster roll, Alaska roll, mt tom roll and chicken hibachi. All had fantastic flavor and the rolls were presented on a huge plate lined up next to each other. Now we describe the bad (or unfortunate). We were greeted by a nice young gentleman who seated us and gave us menus and water. As we sat looking at the giant menu trying to narrow our choices I realized that this guy who seated us was also our waiter. We put in our order and got comfortable. I noticed that this guy wasn't just the host, he was the only waiter in the whole place! Not only that he was also the bartender and the person doing take out. He had 7-8 tables of people plus dealing with take out etc. Our sushi rolls came after a good 20 minute wait. After about 10 more minutes our appetizer tacos came (isn't the appetizer first??) then after another 5-10 minutes we finally got the hibachi. Slow slow and slow. This poor guy working couldn't have done anything about this. I worked in food service for 40 plus years and realized what was happening. Some would just blame the waiter and his tip would suffer. That's wrong! The owners should not only should be aware of this lack of service but should have stepped in to help in times like these. Shame on them! I don't mind waiting for good food but being called a "bistro" you should be a step above the others. Especially with these prices in today's market. Be aware that you might be waiting a bit for your food.

    Yummy sushi!

    New "Asian Bistro" in Belchertown. Visited on a Saturday evening with friends for food and drinks. The sushi and sushi rolls were fresh and very tasty. The staff was helpful and pleasant and catered to our food allergy. Plenty of drink options. Place is clean with plenty of seating and a nice large bar area. Portion sizes and prices both good. Only downside for me was no fried rice on the menu. Only white rice. But overall a solid meal and a nice night out.

    Work of art!

    What a gem of a restaurant. Our food was excellent and the sushi was both delicious and aesthetically beautiful. The vibe was welcoming and the wait staff and sushi chefs were friendly and professional. I only wish I lived closer so I could go more often.

    Does not pay workers fairly. The food is alright but not a lot of other Asian food. It's mostly Japanese and Korean food.

I got the Cannon ball roll which had shrimp tempura, a garlic aioli, and topped with a nice chunk of beautifully seared steak. I loved that roll - super delish! For $20 it was kinda steep so it definitely helps that the roll was tasty. I also got a salmon skin roll which had crushed up salmon skin in the roll... unique as I'm used to a rolled up fried salmon skin. My fiancé got the Mt Holyoke roll and enjoyed it as well. The specialty rolls were definitely massive. My only disappointment was the duck bao, which had shredded duck in five spice. I was hoping for the more traditional peking duck style bao. My bao also had some furry bits stuck to the end, not sure if it was lint from somewhere but it looked like dog hair. It was pretty baked into there. I didn't mind too much I just ripped that piece off. Too hungry to care, but that knocked a star off the review. Would potentially try the ramen if we come back.

Not only did I feel welcomed, the food was also comforting. For two of my friends and I, we ordered four dishes. Everything came out quickly and almost all at once! We started with the seaweed salad which was fresh and crunchy. The tteok boki was an absolute highlight. Add gimmari (noodles wrapped in seaweed and deep fried) and cheese, you will not regret it! These were the perfect complement to the sweet and spicy sauces and chewy rice cakes. The Kalbi was the most delicious. Great sized pieces of meat that packed a punch with flavor. I love the pieces that had some fat and char. And the jjajangmyeon noodles were bouncy and coated with the black bean sauce. Every bite was better than the next. This spot was very relaxed and casual. The servers were so hospitable and friendly. I loved our experience and I will definitely come back for my favorites. My friends and I arrived on a Saturday evening and got seated quickly. There were parking spots available in the front and back of the restaurant.
