"I have heard of Kampai long before I started Yelping, why it took me so long to go I haven't a clue! \n\nThe restaurant is basically a sushi bar with a dining room attached...no emphasis on the dining room part. The sushi bar is large enough to fit quite a few people though! We were seated in the dining area.\n\nJust to test the \"waters\" my wife and I ordered just tetaki, assorted sushi and a few traditional rolls. I must say it was probably the most professionally handled, freshest fish I have eaten in Phoenix. I don't know who the owner is, but he knows his stuff!! Helps that we went on a Thursday (if anyone has read Kitchen Confidential, you know what I mean).\n\nWe will be back for more! My only gripe is our server barely understood english and I don't speak Japanese. She missed on 2 orders of sushi, forgot one and brought us something we didn't order. Another server tried to serve us a few plates that another table ordered. Was pretty funny though when the table guests saw me playfully reaching for their plate with my chopsticks!\n\nThis is one \"character of a restaurant\", if you can put up with the quirks your in for some food!"^^ . . .
