Kanpai! What an experience! The food was beyond amazing. Their tapas menu offers something totally different and it's absolutely worth it. I can't stop raving about their crispy duck roll - it was incredibly delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly crispy. And don't even get me started on their crispy calamari - it was a true delight, tender and crispy at the same time. I highly recommend Kanpai for a culinary adventure you won't forget!

"Amazing food, drinks and service. "
9.3 Cuisine 8 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

Food was amazing. My friend’s steak was over done but the owner/manager was quick to find a resolve. Everything I ate was 12/10. Would definitely recommend! Best mango I’ve ever had, it tastes like you’re eating a fresh mango in summer

"Dinner for one as a travelling business man"
9.3 Cuisine 8 | Service 10 | Atmosphere 10

The dishes were all very tasty. The Miso Malva was particularly interesting. However, the portion of fish that I had for the main course, was roughly the size of two fish fingers, and I felt it could have been a little bigger. Definitely worth a visit.
