| - I had eyeballed this place many many times as I drove down Bell road. This past week I was so tired and hungry, I decided to stop in finally.
The interior isn't anything special. The whole dining area is a sea of teal and warm wood. The dining room wasn't too full the night we went there- which is probably a good thing, as the service was kinda slow.
We ended up getting Teriyaki Chicken and Tempura Udon. Mainly because there wasn't much else on the menu that I could find to eat. Most of the non-sushi items were deep fried in some manner, or they were boring teriyaki. My companion normally gets sushi, but he told me that there was a bunch of un-needed and weird crap in each of the rolls. And he didn't want to spend money on something he'd hate.
His teriyaki chicken came with miso and salad. The miso was rather mild, for better or worse. The salad had too much dressing on it, imo. The dressing itself was okay, but nothing exceptional.
When the main courses came out the chicken was dry, the sauce was thin and tasted like slightly sweetened soy. My udon wasn't bad (surprise) but it had spice in it (something not mentioned in the menu) and I couldn't really enjoy the broth- as my mouth caught on fire (I'm a wuss). If you're into that sort of thing, the udon is probably very good. I did like the shrimp- it was firm and tasty. The noodles were done to a fairly nice texture.
Overall, Kampai seems to be a good place for sushi, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who wants something that is not sushi.
