It has been always a pleasure dining here. Really good sushi quality, this place is a little gem if you are a sushi aficionado. Visited numerous times and tried also to expand my horizons by trying other elements of the catalogue than sushi. I was happily surprised as they are equally good, especially the fried aubergine.

My wife and I were looking forward to trying out Kanpai and weren't disappointed. We visited for lunch on Saturday (08/06/13) and will definetly return on our next day out in Edinburgh.

Probably the best sushi place in Edinburgh, with the food fresh, well seasoned and prepared to perfection. The service is sometimes more enthusiastic than effective and at times much of the menu has been unavailable, but I keep coming back!

Everthing looked great in their large menu and I ended up ordering veggie tempura, teriyaki salmon rolls, tuna maki rolls and spicy tuna gunkan. Really top notch sushi. Order time was 30 min and the staff were all very very friendly.

the service is perfect, food amazing, very clean toilets...what more could you want...by the time we were finished with our selection of sushi we could have started all over again. e very thing is prep aired freshly from scratch and the taste pleasures just keep coming

The food here is very good, the portion size perfect for me. We opted for the 20 piece starter for 2 which was more than enough. There is a super variety of sushi with beautiful pictures to entice you to choose. We were greeted instantly on arrival and shown to our table. Our order was taken promptly and we were... More
