I’ve always had a good experience dining on sushi, and this time was no different. The shrimp sushi was especially delicious fresh, tender, and perfectly paired with seasoned. I also tried a chicken roll, which was a pleasant surprise. It had great flavor and was well-balanced with crisp and just the right amount of sauce. The presentation was clean and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. Sushi continues to be one of my favorite dining experiences.

Kanpai, nestled in the picturesque Souk Al Bahar, offers a refined Japanese dining experience with stunning views and a contemporary ambiance. Its proximity to the Dubai Fountain adds a magical touch, making it a great spot for a night out.The ambiance is sleek and elegant, with warm lighting and modern Japanese-inspired decor that creates an inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re seated indoors or outdoors, the vibe is perfect for an intimate dinner or a gathering with friends.The menu is undoubtedly the star of the show, featuring a wide variety of fresh sushi, sashimi, and standout dishes like the miso black cod and wagyu beef tataki. The flavors are authentic, and the presentation is impeccable. Their curated sake options and cocktails also add a nice touch to the dining experience.However, the service could use improvement. While the staff were polite, there were noticeable delays in getting our orders, and some interactions felt less cooperative than expected for a restaurant of this caliber. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but a little more attentiveness and warmth from the team would have elevated the experience significantly.Overall, Kanpai is a great choice for Japanese cuisine in the heart of Dubai, combining stunning surroundings with delicious food. While there’s room for growth in the service, the quality of the dishes and the ambiance make it worth a visit. With a bit more focus on guest experience, it has the potential to truly shine.

Kanpai in Souk Al Bahar is where chill evenings effortlessly turn into lively nights. With the Burj Khalifa welcoming you as you arrive, the setting is nothing short of iconic. The vibe starts laid-back, perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding after a long day, but as the night goes on, the energy shifts to a party mood with great music and a buzzing crowd. Whether youre looking to relax or let loose, Kanpai’s got you covered—a must-visit spot in Downtown Dubai!

Review 161 (2023-09-02 - Rating: 4)
We went for evening brunch serving and our experience was satisfactory but not extraordinary. The food was correct, meaning it was prepared properly and tasted decent, but don’t expect a culinary revelation. It was a standard fare, nothing that would surprise your palate or make you want to come back specifically for any dish. The brunch was all-inclusive with alcoholic drinks, priced at AED 1300, which is around $350 for two persons. Considering the price, one might expect something more memorable, but it was a pretty standard experience overall.The place also has a bar where you can enjoy some drinks with great and loud music. However, the DJ talked too much, which got annoying after a while. Its great to have some commentary and interaction from the DJ, but in this case, it was a bit excessive.I recommend this place for occasional visits only, due to the averagely food and high price. ✅

Went to the brunch -spin the block so not sure if the service was slow because of that or thats the actual restaurant, not event. The brunch had a very good menu with so many options. It all tasted good, not amazing but you cant go wrong with sushi (I hope). Drinks choices were plentiful. Music was very to my taste and I danced for a few songs. Got the offer on the entertainer so ended paying 250pp. So was definitely worth it after that.
