About

Calm, cozy eatery featuring creative takes on sushi, plus Japanese & Korean dishes.

Casual, cozy BYOB spot for sushi, buns and other Japanese dishes plus Korean fare like bulgogi.

Kanpai is a casual spot for sushi and Korean flavors — people rave about the shrimp and tuna sushi and the fresh sashimi and carpaccio. It's not fancy, just solid, neighborhood-level Japanese/Korean food that locals keep coming back to.
