Our little family had our very first trip out of the city with our baby girl,and this restaurant made it such a memorable experience for all the right reasons. We had just placed our order when our daughter started crying because of her sleep regression. My husband took her outside to change her diaper, but she was still very upset. We felt terrible because our food had just been served, and we had to ask if everything could be packed to go instead. The two wonderful ladies who helped us were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I apologized for the inconvenience, but they immediately reassured me that it was completely okay. I believe the lovely woman who seated us and packed our food was the manager, and she told me she understood because she's a mom herself. Those simple words meant so much to me that I almost cried. As a new mom, moments like these can feel overwhelming, and their compassion made us feel seen instead of embarrassed instead of judged. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care are something I will never forget. We didn't want the amazing food they had just prepared for us to go to waste or lose its freshness, so we parked outside and enjoyed our meal right there in the parking lot. I'm so glad we did because everything was absolutely delicious! You can truly taste the care they put into every dish. Thank you to both amazing ladies for treating our little family with so much warmth and understanding. I wish I had gotten your names so I could thank you personally. We will absolutely be back the next time we're out of the city--hopefully when baby girl is a little older so we can enjoy our meal inside from start to finish. If you're looking for incredible food and customer service that comes from the heart, this is the place. Thank you for making our first family outing one we'll always remember. read more

We had so much that I can't even remember ask the names except Lion King. That was very very tasty. Our waiter was very accomodating and ensuring came out prepped good. read more

Late night happy hour?!! Heck ya! We had a late appt nearby and was hoping something was open for dinner. Kansai to the rescue!! They had a happy hour menu with lots of options but you could also order from the regular menu. We got 3 miso soups and waters before we ordered which was great!! We ordered from the happy hour menu and service was pretty quick. Portions were big and food was decent. Will definitely think about Kansai if we're in the area for late night eats. read more

I had dinner with my best-friend. The food is so good here. Their service is excellent! Friendly and so helpful. Everything is fresh and so delicious! The portions are a good size. The prices are very reasonable. They even have a happy hour for food. They're very popular with takeout... DoorDash/Uber Eats. Didn't get quite busy at times. You definitely want to make sure you allow time if you're getting takeout or sitting in. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Love Kansai! Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. They also have a really good happy hour menu!

It's funny I give this 3.5 stars because I would come back lol but not because the food is good, because of the convenient location. The service is always great, the stars are just for the food. A very casual eatery with plenty of seating. Chicken Katsu 3/5 it wasn't bad, just nothing to rave about. I probably wouldn't order it again and it did not make the clean plate club. Spicy Tuna Roll 3/5 Don't know how I finished this one, as you can see the color of the tuna is off. The texture of the tuna was okay, though I found the roll to be dry. Anywho, I will be coming back, I've been here at least six times now lol. read more

LOVE THEIR BENTO BOXES!!! They give good sized portions and I also love how they cook tofu.

We always come here to take advantage of their happy hour menu. We love the Chirashi bowl, mixed tempura, and seaweed salad. The chirashi stands out with big thick pieces of fish. The mixed tempura is nice and light. read more

My first time coming here and they have an extensive lunch menu which is amazing. I got the sushi lunch special that came with 6 piece nigiri, 4 piece CA roll, 4 piece spicy tuna roll, miso soup, and salad. The fish and sushi were good sized pieces. I don't usually get full of just sushi but this lunch special was filling. It was a slow Monday and my food came out fast and service was good. They have quite a few cocktails that I would like to try for happy hour or dinner. I'll definitely come back soon! read more

1 June 2025 They tried to squeeze us in a crowded area under a speaker again like on our last visit. We asked for and they quickly moved us to a better spot. Josh was our waiter today and did an amazing job. We had some confusion on our part how to choose bento box items. The menu is a bit confusing but Josh took great care to make sure we weren't surprised with an extra $5 charge. Later my wife peeped softly to me that she needs lemon. Like a bat listening with sonar, Josh swept in.."Did I hear someone needs lemon?" The service and food here has always been great and this visit was no exception. Josh informed us it was happy hour. Unfortunately we had already chosen regular priced meals from the daily menu and didn't notice the skinny strip of paper menu on the table. Geriatric eyes need a magnifying glass to read that tiny crowded print. smh. Maybe print on double-sided 8.5 X 11 paper with average sized font? Today the grilled Saba (mackerel) was so good. #WOW! Presentation of the food? Perfect. We both enjoyed our meals. Worth the 20 minute drive. There were a few distractions that I posted as attachments. I sure hope Kansai will smooth out their rough edges for that fifth star. read more

Great service and hours (open during lunch). They offer Toro nigiri on the menu and a variety of rolls -- the Oakland roll was tasty and I ordered fresh sliced jalapeños on the side to put it on top for $1! It gave it a kick and a nice lil crunch. I enjoy sushi daily specials and wish they would incorporate some premium fresh fish of the day, but other than that, this place is solid. Great ambiance with tons of booth seating and respectable service. read more

Ordered edamame, 2 sushi rolls, and an udon. Could barely finish all the food with 2 people. I would have the same order again. I usually don't care for udon since it can taste bland, but Kansai makes me reconsider. My only complaint is that the menu looks and feels gross. I didn't want to touch it. read more

I really enjoy the 3-combo plate at Kansai. They offer big portions and soup with your "to-go" orders. I ordered teriyaki chicken, california roll and mixed tempura. The food was fresh and flavorful. It was enough to feed 2 people. I will be back for more delicious food. TWO THUMBS UP! read more

Service is always great. We are always greeted with a smile regardless if its slow or rush hour. They are also very tentative and patient. Restaurant is spacious with a bar seating. Lots of room to walk around tables and booths. Do wish the lights were a bit brighter. Some dishes comes with miso soup or miso soup + salad. Helps fill the stomach a bit before enjoying their sushi. Selection of rolls are great. Really enjoyed the Newport Roll the most out of all choices. They are packed with flavor literally and figuratively. Their Nigiri Mix/Combo is also good and filling. Their Sushi and Sashimi for $40 is totally worth it. The sashimi was so fresh and so good and it just melts in your mouth like butter! 3 big slices of tuna, yellowtail and salmon sashimi with 8 different nigiri and 8 CA rolls. Their sushi boat (Medium is $120 / Large is $140) may be pricey but it comes with a lot of slices/pieces. Do watch out for their unagi though as there are bones in them still. But all other types of fishes were great especially the salmon pieces. Highly recommend their chirashi bowl $($30) or 2 item bento box ($19). Both are worth the amount and the price point. This will be a regular spot for us if we crave for sushi which is quite often. read more

Nice larger atmosphere inside. Almost feels like one of those chain sports bar restaurants. I got the bento lunch and the portion size was large. Got my money's worth. However, the tempura was too oily and didn't taste like tempura I've had at other places. It was almost like they deep fried it the same way you deep fry calamari or french fries. And I got a little stomach ache afterwards. I might come back again, I'll just stay far away from the tempura. read more

Kansai has been on my husband and I's rotation of restaurants to dine-in with for years for a reason! They're consistent all around - food, service and all. We almost always get their bento boxes and especially love their salmon sashimi and beef teriyaki, but I'll treat myself to a Chirashi bowl every now and then. My absolute favorite Chirashi bowl ever, btw. Anyways, portions are always just right, service is great, and the open-casual space is just the cherry on top. read more

We love ordering here at my work- night shift and nurses- we hungry! lol Their portions are good, quality is great! Food always tastes the same every time we order here. The location is located at a shopping mall, lots of parking, easy to find, and inside there is a lot of seating, I have been here for parties and they can accommodate a lot of people! My favs are the sushi rolls, bento boxes, and their chicken teriyaki! We always do a big order here for ICU! We will be back! read more

My server, Ryan, made all the difference. "Attentive" doesn't do his service justice. Whenever I finished my water, he was there before I could blink to refill the glass for me and ask me if my roll was okay or I needed a box, etc. Trust me, it wasn't the annoying hovering act some servers employ. Everything at this Kansai is just as legit as their Oakland location--including that delicious miso soup! I usually go for a fairly simple roll (what, you don't go for an avocado cucumber roll, too?!) but my fellow diners usually enjoy the more elaborate baked concoctions. It's also less pricey than other nearby sushi spots, which ya girl can appreciate in this climate. (Or any climate.) Worth a visit. read more

Omg got food poisoning here sad :( Both my partner and I were so sick afterwards. I thought it was a coincidence, but after foolishly trying leftovers the day after, I was sick again LOL. My stomach was furious I made the same mistake two days in a row. That being said, the servers here are SOOO nice. Insanely nice and super attentive. Feels bad that the food was bad and they can't do anything about it. TUNA TATAKI: The amount of sodium in this is wild. Tasted like just straight up salt. Maybe the sauce is covering up poor fish quality? CRAZY HORSE ROLL: I tried to be adventurous and try an ~unusual~ role. It was... Fine! Hard to taste much outside of the sauce. And so much rice... RAIDERS ROLL: An absurd amount of rice again... And only 3 "good" pieces, dressing up the butt ends with micro greens. Super fishy taste. Subpar fish with mushy texture. And pricy for what you get, like WTF my go-to sushi joint is the same price, better quality. The dishes already seemed suspicious at first glance but we decided against our better judgement. Now I know :') read more

For the price you cannot beat it. The food quality is outstanding. If you go during happy hour you're the best bang for your buck!!

Kansai (specifically Concord location) is my favorite and go-to sushi spot. They have an extensive list of rolls, generous portion sizes, and they have happy hour (3pm-6pm AND late night HH). My favorite rolls are the John roll (on HH for $12.95) and the Pink Lady roll, and we always get hamachi sashimi ($11.95 on HH for 5 fat slices). We've also tried the lion king roll and S.P. Cucumber roll - lion king roll is good, just really saucy! And cucumber roll is nice and refreshing. Haven't tried any other items besides the sushi, so can't comment on the rest of the menu. But I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the rolls. It's really hard to venture off and try other sushi spots when Kansai always fulfills that sushi craving. Highly recommend! read more

We just happened to stop by this parking lot near Shop and Park as my friend was looking for an EV charger for her car as the other shopping center nearby had chargers but they were all in use. This shopping center has at least 4 chargers, 2 cars to each charger so that's great and there were Asian restaurants nearby so we decided on Kansai Concord! I used to frequent the one in Oakland so I was wondering if they were connected. It was after 1 PM so we had no problem getting a comfortable booth and it was spacious and cool inside. My friend ordered the lunch bento special which was chicken teriyaki and California rolls, soup and salad included. I ordered the two item bento with salmon sashimi and salmon teriyaki and it also came with soup and salad. The salmon sashimi was fresh and the salmon teriyaki moist and tender! And the prices for the lunch bentos were reasonable! We will surely come back here the next time we are in the area! read more

We were in the area and decide to stop into Kansai. There is plenty of parking available, but the closer spots might be taken during peak hours. It's a very spacious restaurant with modern decor. It can accommodate a few large parties. The bento box I got had salmon sashimi, tonkatsu, and salmon teriyaki. The sashimi tasted fresh and were decent cuts. Overall, it was pretty good. read more

After moving to Texas, I returned last week to visit my mother. She likes this place. Me, not so much. Having been here a few times over the past four years i lived in Concord, we stopped going after a few visits. I was hopeful to see if things changed, but I hasn't. I ordered a chicken donburi bowl and it was not good at all. Most disappointing was the amount of sauce they put on it. The sauce is to accent the dish, not make it into a bowl of soup. Please talk to your cooks about this, Kansai. As you can see I barely ate it. The visit was made pleasant though by the nice ladies who were waiting on us. She didn't ask if I wanted to take it home. I'm sure she saw how little I ate and might've seen my unhappiness eating it. read more

Kansai is a solid choice for a casual sushi dinner or happy hour. While the fish quality isn't the most amazing, their happy hour deals and friendly service make it worth it. There's a good selection of rolls and sashimi/nigiri or cooked dishes on the menu. The service and atmosphere is great; there's almost never a wait since it's a pretty large location. If you're looking for a place with a relaxed atmosphere and affordable sushi, it's definitely worth checking out. read more
