Visited on our honeymoon and got some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Great variety of nigiri/sashimi spot that were fairly priced for the high quality. Not as many rolls (which was fine with me!), but know it’s more of a “pure” sushi place. Staff had great command of the menu and perfectly described nuanced differences between options. Loved the salmon belly and snapper, both of which were my first times trying. Nigiri wagyu was a nice treat and the tuna was amazing.

The food is amazing but the prices are high and portions are small. The fish is much thinner sliced than I’m used to, and eat sushi at a lot of amazing places. I’m used to leaving comfortably full. We left there $200+ later and went to get ice cream at the drug store. It’s great quality and a great experience at the sushi bar, but not a great value compared to King Sushi.

Delicious sushi but very expensive, and attentive service but lacking personalization. If you’re looking for a premium experience, this is it, but if you’re looking for great sushi for strong value, I would suggest King Sushi.
We’ve long wanted to go to Kampai and I finally brought my daughter here on a date, and it was a pretty big deal for us! Every bite of sushi we tasted was absolutely incredible, and the staff was highly attentive.
Unfortunately, the prices were pretty expensive, but we knew that going in. The staff and service were incredibly polished, but what surprised me was that nobody ever asked our names or spoke to us person to person… they were really just there to facilitate a sushi order.
Our waiter, Tim, was nice enough but also seemed disappointed that we were spending modestly and it showed toward the end (still the most expensive meal the two of us have eaten). I wish the runners would have let us know which fish was what toward the end… We can tell some of the basic ones, but the more complex would’ve been nice to know. When we asked our waiter, he would rush to answer, but never proactively provided it so we just stopped asking.
Honestly, the highlight were the runners who engaged more meaningfully with my daughter than anyone else.
We’d love to consider coming back, and would hope for a relational experience to match the food.

We always enjoy our experience here. It feels special every visit. Service is great – super attentive and knowledgeable. Cocktails are well-made, the sake list is very good, and the food excellent. The ambience and music is great.

This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time! The best sushi and sashimi we’ve ever had, amazing cocktails, with stellar service and atmosphere. For those balking at price, it’s worth every penny.

Going to give a review from the perspective of sitting at the bar! Wife and I chose the corner seat and had a gorgeous bartender! (didn’t get her name). It’s expensive here, but you’ll have some beautiful drinks that are actually poured well and keep you buzzed through the night. The food was decent, all the sushi was great. The only reason I might mark it down was because of the really really high prices. I’ve had rolls on par or better for much less, but that’s ski area prices for you. I did have a great meal and a wonderful time there but shelled out a ton for it. If you’re just looking for value, I would skip. If you’re down to drink and value pretty drinks to impress the ladies, then go right ahead.

Impeccable service and dining experience. We celebrated a birthday and sat at the sushi bar. We were served food by Masa-San with chefs Bryan and David also working the bar, and Logan from Austin TX (where we were visiting from) served us drinks. Everyone made us feel so welcomed and we had lovely conversations with each one, learning about their lives and expertise. The fish was amazing, fresh, and the group agreed it was arguably the best Japanese restaurant we’d been to in the U.S. A highlight of our Montana, Banff, Wyoming road trip. Masa-San in particular was very accommodating and friendly and we loved learning that he was from Nagano, Japan, where we’d previously visited and skied. We hope to be back someday soon. Thank you for the special night!

I can’t recommend Kampai enough! If you’re a fan of high-quality Japanese food, this is the place in JH.
The first thing that hits you is how fresh the fish is. The sashimi literally melts in your mouth. It’s seriously impressive.
Beyond the food, the customer service was top-notch. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and knows the menu inside and out.

Had a lovely dinner at Kampai on the rooftop. Service was great and the food was incredible. Can’t wait to come back!

Solid Japanese restaurant with very good sushi and plenty of non sushi offerings. We ordered the Omakase, and after discussing dietary restrictions, the food started to arrive. Our preferred style is to be served sashimi and nigori seasoned and flavored by the chef so no soy/wasabi dipping is needed. While we’ve had more inventive and comprehensive Omakase, Kampai delivered a fine experience. Their menu is extensive and can offer something for everyone. Definitely worth a visit when you’re in the mood for Japanese food.
