I hate saying the word "date". I prefer meet & greet. He was already seated at a table but I preferred the bar as usual when I'm in Sashimi mode. Cool, noisy place, lots of energy! Spacious table setting for groups and can be romantic. The waiter was so attentive! The chef I think was eavesdropping at our conversation lol I ordered a big bottle of sake then seaweed salad - EXCELLENT - usually I share so I have room for the real stuff. To die for sashimi platter - red snapper, albacore ( wished they had Blue Fin), Spanish Mackerel. Nice almost perfect sliced pieces. Lots of interesting conversation in between...more Sake. Finally I offered sake to the Chef which I often do when I'm seated at the bar solo. He accepted and we toasted Kampai. The Piece de resistance to top off my already overstuffed belly - Unagi w avocado hand roll - moist not drenched in sauce. Not too sweet and seaweed wrap just perfect & crisp for biting into! I walked away with one of the best meals & company I've had in a long time! Go and experience it for yourself!
