This sushi spot has been in Chula Vista for decades. Great sushi, ramen, and good happy hour. Love the beef sashimi. Highly recommend.

We ordered bento boxes. Teriyaki was good, tempura was not as crispy as I would like. Sushi was fine, but not outstanding. The salad and pickles were not very good and we left them uneaten. I’ll try another restaurant next time.

This place was solid. I got the dragon roll along with the chicken Katsu curry. The curry had bits of meat in it which was a nice surprise. Most Japanese curry’s I’ve had in San Diego or Japan don’t feature that but this place makes sure to make it filling with extra protein. I like the roll, it was good although there wasn’t a lot of eel on it. It wasn’t a problem the quality was still good. The service was great there was two Japanese ladies who were serving the whole restaurant and they had about 20 patron in there. So they did a great job to keep everyone happy. The food was out quick and hot. I recommend this place its a nice gem in south chula. The atmosphere is old school they didn’t make any updates to the interior but it’s actually kind of a nice blast from the past.

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.

A hidden gem in Chula Vista area! Felt very nostalgic coming in, greeted in a Japanese traditional way, and overall atmosphere took me back to when I lived in Japan growing up.
We ordered the garlic Edamame, which was powdered in garlic & slightly fried and fried shumai. Felt like there was too much rice in the Teriyaki Bowl and Bento, but overall was chicken was seasoned with Teriyaki just right. The ramen, had to be one of the best ramen I’ve had out here in San Diego. This is definitely a spot I will be coming back for the Ramen.

Low-key, very underrated, authentic japanese restaurant. Good all around but the tonkatsu curry is outstanding. This place flys under the radar but a Chuls Vista gem if you dont want to drive to convoy.

I’ve been dining here for years. I’m not a regular but I do come back once a year to introduce their exquisite cuisine to a close friend or family member. Their staff is always working hard to serve you as you deserve. They give you a warm welcome and are always polite to everyone. The food which is their key to success is top notch. It’s simple but delicious. Too many dishes to recommend but I love their soups and appetizers the most. I’m glad they have good business despite the pandemic and lack of staff, keep it up team!

This is those old school only locals know about hidden in plain site kind of place! The food is definitely authentic Japanese style! Great sushi, teriyaki and Raman noodles! The service is very friendly and they are very welcoming! We have been coming for years and enjoy the local vibe of the place. It is only open in the evenings. It is a small run down building but the food and service makes up for it,! Reasonably priced and has a parking lot. Our favs are dragon roll, chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, spicy Raman and yakisoba noodles!
