Kanpai is hands down the best sushi restaurant in Pismo Beach. The sushi quality is good, service is strong, and the environment is generally welcoming. I recently visited for the third time. The first two times were with groups of 5 and 6 people on busy nights. On these visits, the food quality was
This past September when my wife and I were vacationing in Avila beach, we were hungry and looking for a reputable sushi spot to satiate our palate. After much back and forth and a lot of hand wringing, we decided to go to dinner at Kanpai. Initially we were going to reserve our table but because of
I've been looking forward to dining here, so I was really excited and really wanted to like this place. With that said, the atmosphere and the service was amazing! The food however, was not as good as I was hoping. I ordered the ramen and chirashi. The ramen was okay. A little too spicy and salty,
As Locals normally do around here we try to avoid the more touristy side of the beach. Plus we love sushi and eat a lot so we stick to the more inexpensive joints or all you can eat sushi restaurants.
But we were given a gift card for here for Christmas this year so we decided to give it a shot.

I absolutely love Tony (the owner) and I love everything they make. He treats his employees like family and he cares about our community. If you’re craving Roman! this is the place. Oysters so good! And the area isn’t that bad to look at.
We visited Kanpai for the first time this evening to celebrate my fiancé's birthday & had an absolutely exemplary experience. Our server Lucas was unbelievably attentive & made our night so enjoyable, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about each menu item.
We chose the chef's choice Chee
Carefully prepared sushi as well as a vast array of traditional Japanese cuisine set this establishment apart from other restaurants in the area. That, combined with the best service imaginable, made for a very sumptuous dining experience. I am somewhat of a local and can say unequivocally that
The atmosphere, whether you dine inside or outside, is great. All of the staff were really pleasant and very patient with the customers. The Crunchy Dragon Roll and Diablo Canyon Roll were amazing! Definitely a place to sit and enjoy good food.
Our date night at Kanpai was amazing! A 10 minute wait for an outdoor table gave us time to review the menu. The host was very nice and accommodating. Our waitress was stellar too! Everything we ordered (tempura, clam miso, sukiyaki, sashimi) was perfect temperature & completely delicious. For desse
Lovely sushi place. Came here on a Sunday night and plenty of seating available. Sushi tasted very fresh. Waiters were attentive and friendly. Would definitely come back.
Fantastic service. Very fresh sushi rolls. And gyoza/ramen (had no idea they did) were phenomenal. Did the spicy tonkatsu with pork belly and an egg and it was incredible. First time visiting and will be coming back. Cool place!
Really great sushi spot near Pismo Beach, and seems to be a popular spot among locals as well! We had a few nigiris, including salmon, freshwater eel, hotate (scallop), ikura (salmon roe), Santa Barbara uni (sea urchin), all of which were really fresh. They seem to really dedicate efforts into sourc
One of the best dining experiences of my life. Between my partner and I we have worked in hospitality for 25 years. We went in looking just to have a nice sushi meal and had no idea we were about to have one of the best serving experiences ever. Our waiter’s name was Lucas, he was incredibly attenti
