Kanpai - Chula Vista

A nice local spot. I love their spicy miso ramen! It’s delicious! The staff are very friendly! I will definitely go back to this place again!

I came to this restaurant with my family since I was 4 years old in 1994, after my father had withdrawn from the navy after his last service in misawa. While I do not remember eating four there, I can tell them every experience I have eaten, that it has been incredibly pleasant, although I do not remember the first. besides eating always amazing, including the last time a month ago, they are always incredibly consistent. misako, more often than not, was the one who served our table for at least 20 years (probably here with my family have eaten 300 times). the other reviews that show their amazing hospitality are not wrong in the smallest. to the other familiar and long-term faces of the personal, I'm sorry that I didn't have their names, but they have always provided the same amazing service and eating! I'm pretty sure the man was behind the sushi bar and grill there as long as I remember. while I no longer live in chula vista, I am always happy to visit two places when I come back: kanpai(? cactus butt? we called it loving, as it held a great sign logo of a wash bear with a spikey looking dick in the past a laterne, I was sad not to see him last time that I was there, but that has nothing changed about the experience, eating or service! and home. Thanks again that I was the best Japanese restaurant (including a few in japan).

First time eating here came during lunch and felt very comfortable being here. Service is really great with friendly and attentive staff which makes it a nice quiet place to enjoy a great lunch. Tried the curry udon and it was absolutely amazing, perfect thick noodles in a rich flavorful curry broth. Highly recommend to come and give a try. Will surely be back another time for dinner.

I?ll start by why I did not give Kanpai a 5? Absolutely nothing to do with the food. The staff has always been super friendly. But; if it?s about honesty, and I truly love this place?. More than once I?ve had to remind them about orders not being brought on time. The last two times we were there they have also brought out to our table the wrong order; which means some other party was waiting on their food. We also made reservations and they were not ready and got them confused with another party. But please do understand the food is amazing, I guess it also comes with understanding it?s a small place with a lot of demand.

Everything was so delicious. I ordered spicy miso ramen and kanpai special. The ramen was very good, and the pork had so much flavor, I added some bean sprouts. It was a big bowl! The kanpai special had teriyaki chicken sushi and tempura veggies, all of them very good. The service was friendly and welcoming. I had a great time, definitely will come back again and try different dish!
