kanpai izakaya

sushi heaven. we have dined more than once atkanpaiizakaya and have yet to be disappointed. the sushi is fresh and tasty and the seaweed salad is a spicy delight. the service was attentive and professional. we will be back soon.

worst sushi i've had. went tokanpaion a wednesday night. ordered three rolls: spicy octopus, kamikaze, and their signature roll the kanpai. first took a bite from the first two rolls (i always like to save the best for last, and i was assuming that their signature roll would be the best). when both my husband and i took our first bite of the kanpai, it was so awfully fishy that we had to spit it out. when we called the waiter and told him of the problem, he stiffened up, grabbed our plate and left. he returned with the plate less thekanpai(we now have four pieces of the other two rolls left) and set down the plate. he didn't offer an apology, he didn't offer us a menu to order another roll.

i've been to many of the sushi places here in milwaukee and the metro area, i would say avoid kanpai, there are better choices out there.

not impressed. we have ordered fromkanpaitwice now. both times we have had carry out because we live so close. the first time was so-so. this second time, however, we were beyond unimpressed. the sushi rolls were not properly rolled and kept falling apart. the tuna looked questionable. the edamame was mushy and unsalted. the udon soup, though it had flavor, looked as though it contained leftover seafood. i recently saw an article on jsonline.com givingkanpaithree stars. i would never recommend this place to anyone. we have eaten at numerous sushi places and this place doesn't even compare. we will continue to get our sushi from other milwaukee businesses.

it is clear thatkanpaiis trying to make a name for itself within the third ward and throughout milwaukee. as mentioned, the service and food were great. in our opinion, that is a pretty good start. we recommend givingkanpaia try.
