We love Kampai! and have been going there for at least 2 years. I almost hate to spread the word because I want them to myself, but Kampai is the best we've had in the Phoenix-Scottsdale area (and I used to live in Manhattan where there is great sushi everywhere). The ambiance is easy yet still has a genuine feel, can be a little nicer or not depending on what mood you're in. The only "4 star" I give Kampai is for being not so kid friendly, but that isn't bad, they still accommodate when we venture to bring our 7 month old with us! They are in a very unlikely spot, which I think keeps the snobs away! Love them and hope they never have to leave.

I have been eating sushi here since 1997. I lived in Yokohama Japan for 4 years and Kampai Sushi is the best Japanese in all of Arizona! I would recommend this place as a first choice!

This is the Best of the Best. You can't get any better sushi in Arizona. I love Kampai. It's worth every penny. And if you have to wait it's also worth the time.

There IS NO BETTER sushi in the valley. I've tried everywhere and I always complain when i'm somewhere else saying "how spoiled I am from going to Kampai all the time"
The sushi is succulent and fresh...
and the sashimi salmon melts in your mouth like butter.
I will go no where else for sushi now, I will make the drive from downtown phoenix for the quality.
my compliments to the chefs and owners

Oh MY gosh!! This sushi was soooo good. I got take out on a Saturday night. It took about 45 minutes and was fantastic: fresh, flavorful and beautiful. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely beautiful ambience. Food was superb! My husband and I plan on trying to return every weekend! Kampai, by far, serves the best sushi we've had as of yet!!

Great food and the sushi is really fresh. I don't really like fish but I eat sushi here and enjoy it! The service is good but the understanding of English , a little off unless you have a good Englsh speaking Asian waitress or sushi chef. Its fun to sit at the sushi bar and watch. If you like japanese ffod, this is a great place. Don't forget to try their green tea!
