Kanpai - Sushi Asian Bistro Reviews List

Kanpai - Sushi Asian Bistro

Kanpai is a restaurant best known for its sushi; we have over 55 beers in house that change on a weekly basis. We have $15 bottles of wine all day every day and we also have a new kitchen menu for a taste of the very best in Asian inspired dining. If you enjoy great food and a great atmosphere, Kanpai is a unique Evansville restaurant to visit for lunch or dinner. We are right off of Green River Road if you’re looking for something near Evansville’s east side. Every time you stop in could be a different experience, as we may have live music or a craft beer tasting. If you’re hungry and in a hurry for carry-out or a large business delivery, Kanpai now offers the simplicity and accuracy of online ordering.

"I have had sushi from Morimoto in NYC to Pod in Philadelphia, and I must say that Kanpai ranks up there. We were seated right away (thanks to reservations) and the staff was helpful and friendly. Presentation was great and sushi was wonderful. I highly recommend the Godzilla, Yum Yum, S.O.B. and Volcano rolls, as well as the frozen Bellini. Even received a complimentary dessert since it was my Birthday. Kanpai never fails to impress me."

"We loved our first time at Kanpai! The staff was very attentive and made great recommendations. The crab Rangoon was amazing, as were the S.O.B roll and the Godzilla roll! We will definitely be back soon!"

"Good beer selection. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Sushi was ok, but not outstanding. Limited seating, but online table reservation worked out perfectly. Good place to eat then go elsewhere to socialize."
