Comment: What an awesome place to experience an entertaining way to dine and go out. We sat at the habachi grill while Raul cooked us some unbelievably fantastic food. He had great personality and was a masterful chef. The filet was cut with a fork and cooked to alls perfection. The scallops were some of the best I ever had. I’m not a veggie eater but I can only tell you I did eat them and they were delicious. What a place to go celebrate an occasion. The owner was were attentive as were all the staff. Kudos to this establishment for getting it all right

Comment: Visiting our Grandson who attends Binghamton University. We knew we wanted sushi for dinner so we googled Kampai and we are very glad we did. Without a reservation we decided to sit at the sushi bar. After being seated by our hostess who had a beautiful Kimono on, we were pleasantly surprised at how friendly the sushi chefs were. We had a wonderful conversation with Katie and SooJung. All the while they were preparing each sushi plate with loving care. Highly recommend Kampai Japanese Steakhouse. Will be sure to visit on our next trip to Binghamton.

We waited an hour for our food, but we got our drinks quickly the waitress apologized profusely, and took off our drinks from the bill. We always love to come to Kampai the food is always delicious and the service is always courteous.

Comment: Overall, Ive gone here for dinner three or four times recently, and I love it more every time I go. Hosts and servers are always friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Food is very good, whether you get an appetizer, main dish, or dessert. The only thing I would change is the price of drinks and the lack of free refills on fountain and other non-alcoholic drinks. I had the miso soup, angel roll, the jamey roll, and the fried ice cream. Everything I had was great and I would order it again! It is pricey by the end of the meal, so if you eat there plan on paying at least $60 plus tip (likely between $60 and $100).

Comment: I have never been disappointed coming to kampai. Their sushi is fresh and refreshing, all the hibachi chefs I have seen there have been masterful and professional, The cuisine is always 5 star perfect, The ambiance is on point, and the drinks are bussin. Sometimes there is a wait, and it is a little on the expensive side but it is 1000000000000000000% worth it. Best resruraunt in the tripple cities area without doubt, find out why for yourself.

Comment: This was our first time visiting Kampai and it was wonderful. The Ambience is that of an actual Tokyo or Kyoto steakhouse with Hibachi, traditional Japanese, and sushi style dining. The staff (female) wear a colorful kimono dress and the males wear black vests and black pants. The hibachi meals are shared with other guests and reservations for these are highly recommended to ensure that your party is able to be together and the show involved with the meal preparation is always fun and entertaining. The traditional Japanese and sushi dishes are amazing and very skillfully prepared. There is also a very diverse selection of wines, cocktails and, beers, and sake from which to choose from. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and the portions are generous. This is a family friendly environment but there are plenty of private alcoves available to have a romantic dinner for two without issue. There is plenty of parking and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They take both cash and cards to meet the needs of their patrons. We are absolutely going to come back as our experience was beyond words and recommend this hidden gem to everyone.

Comment: I had dinner at Kampai while visiting friends in Vestal, and we had an AMAZING omakase experience. I wish I took more photos of our food to do the meal justice, but these few will have to suffice. The head sushi chef was super friendly, attentive to our taste requests (which was just to go on a delicious adventure!) and dished up beautifully crafted plates. The fish was fresh and hearty (no skimping on cuts here!) and the simple vanilla ice cream dessert was made decadent with gold sugar decoration and fruit details.Besides the 12 out of 10 food, Kampais ambiance is fantastic. While we enjoyed our more intimate dinner experience at the sushi bar, there were larger groups enjoying the hibachi tables, something I would like to try on my next visit. I also appreciated that the restaurant manager took the time to check in on us, which was very thoughtful, especially since it was a busier night.I can understand why Kampai has been in business since 1975 and I look forward to my next visit!

Comment: Kampai is one of my favorite restaurants! The staff are attentive, the food is excellent, and its clear the owners work hard to create an energy of community. Everyone seems to know each other, staff and customers alike, and as a new customer, youre welcomed in as a friend. Going to Kampai is definitely an experience whether at the sushi bar (my favorite!), hibachi, or for a more traditional meal. Every time Im in town, I cant miss Kampai!

Comment: Nine of us had dinner here Monday night for my daughters birthday. The food and entertainment were great in general. A good time was had by all. Gave only four stars for two reasons. Number one, my wife clearly declined the shrimp in the mouth throw but the chef went ahead and bounced one off her face anyways. It hit her on her glasses (thank God she wears glasses so it didnt hit her eye) and left a big greasy smear on the lens. Not cool!! Number two, we each ordered a sushi roll for our appetizer. I ordered the Fallen Angel expecting a little heat with the Habanero but there was none. Eight were delivered shortly after that. Mine didnt arrive until my dinner came. Not sure what happened there but by then I was ready for my dinner and didnt need it, so it was a bit of a waste. We rarely saw the gal who took our order because they use other people to bring the orders out so I had no chance to ask her where my sushi roll was.

Comment: Food and Sushi Chefs were top notch/wonderful. We sat at the sushi bar and Andrew and his team were great!Hostess who took our information (including phone number), forgot to seat us at the open sushi bar. We had to ask the host stand after about a 20 min wait at the bar to be seated. The bar itself had prompt service.After finding our own seat at the sushi bar, the waitstaff brought us water but was not very attentive to our drinks and we went back to the bar to get them.At the end of the day. We highly recommend the food and sushi bar but dont be surprised if the service otherwise is a bit slow.

Comment: Loved the food and the hibachi chef!! I ordered the steak and chicken. Entertainment by the chef (it was the standard Japanese Steak house protocol) was fun, too bad my party wasnt into it - party poopers!! I was disappointed there was no shrimp sauce or yum yum sauce. The bar couldnt make a Moscow Mule 🤷🏻‍♀️ Those are the only negatives about dinner. I would return and recommend!

Comment: We had a good experience with Hibachi. The chef had a very entertaining and enticing cooking performance. Flames and smoke were everywhere. Knife skills were on point. The food was not too bad either. The waitresses were all very courteous and professional. For the area, the prices are a bit steep but youre probably paying for the experience on a special occasion, so youre likely not gonna be here more than a half dozen times in a year.Finding it is easy off of the 434 and parking is also easy. It does get packed up quickly so be sure to show up ahead of your reservation time to keep the waiting to a minimum.

Comment: Beautiful atmosphere and a great place to enjoy time with others. If you like to eat a lot of food you might want to look elsewhere. The bill for the two of us was almost a hundred dollars and I was planning when I left here what I was going to eat when I got home. The service is usually excellent, although the last time we went the waitress didnt seem very attentive.

I watched quite a few customers come up and wish him a happy birthday thanking him for all his work. It was nice to see that the staff could care so much for their customers as if they were family. I dont write reviews but they deserve more than these five stars. Thanks for the great food and some great times. Happy Birthday Andrew!

Comment: Kampai never disappoints. The owners do a fabulous job at making sure you’ll have the best experience while you’re here. We’re here like once a month, we’ve gotten take out, sit at the sushi bar or have big parties at the hibachi grill and the food is always perfect. This last trip we had a big party and we were very accommodated, our server was Dallin and he did a great job handling our huge party and was super nice. If you haven’t been yet Kampai is a must!

Comment: Food was pretty good, not the best Ive had but still pretty damn solid. The hibachi chef and wait staff were very attentive and friendly. I had read that they did free pictures but I was pleasantly surprised that they actually put it in a nice card to frame it for you. Worked out really well as a first date spot. The tuna tataki app could definitely have been given a better sear, but overall I was pretty happy with everything and Im not an easy person to please.

Comment: A great meal and show. Our chef was funny and really pleasant. He was quiet, which made his jokes that much better. Sure they were cheesey, but it was fun. They give a generous portion for everything. May be more $ than the other place in the area, but I think the portions and overall experience is better at Kampai.There are a few things that should be attended to. For example there is carpet out front that is duct taped together. There are a few other cosmetic things right out front, that if properly fixed, would go a long was to improve a first impression. The little nits dont take away for their overall excellent service.

While its ALWAYS fun, dont limit yourself to hibachi, the sushi and sashimi are fresh tasting and phenomenal. Ive been to half a dozen other hibachi places, and kampai does it best. If you want that special date night, birthday dinner, or just a break from the usual, add Kampai to your list! We absolutely love it and will be here for many years to come!

Comment: Let me start by saying i am well traveled, and have infact been to Japan to experience their culture, food, and of course, sushi. This place is BY FAR the closest i have and believe ever will get to having that amazing food here in America. Not to mention the customer service, all the staff seemed friendly and always had a smile. Me and my girlfriend were gifted with a waitress named Heather and she was the kindest we could ever ask for. She went out of her way to ask for the bartender so we could try and find a drink we have been looking for. Finally the food itself. FANTASTIC. The Deluxe sushi plate we ordered was so well presented im only disappointed i didnt snap a picture. We ended our dining experience with a last order of the Rock n Roll which is Eel and avacado, my personal favorite, and i had not made the mistake of forgetting to save this moment. Below is my favorite sushi at my new favorite Japanese restaruant. A very warm thank you for the kind service and incredible food. Truly worth every single penny.

For two adults and two teen boys it was over $160. So its like going to a nice resteraunt when your a kid. The food is nothing special, it is strictly for the show. Having said that, you get a LOT of food and we came home with four boxs of leftovers as NO one cleaned their plate! LOL

Comment: This place has many earmarks of an authentic Japanese restaurant (exterior and interior decor, servers costume, music, founder background etc). However, it is quite pricey and I could find noticeable flaws in every dish that I ordered. That said, it is not terrible and I dont see them having any competition in the entire area. So I may be back in the future.

As a family member needed gluten free the server communicated this well to the chef that came out. It was a fun, entertaining time. We got to keep a photo they took for us and even took the time to translate the Japanese characters on the photo holder. One of the staff stopped us as we were leaving to write our names down on this in Japanese characters. It was a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

Comment: Always a good experience!Have never sat on the traditional side, as we usually do the sushi bar or hibachi table. Whatever you like, reservations are usually the way to go. Also, the parking lot gets fill sometimes, so if thats the case, someone lets you know... You then dinner to a lot down there road (Green Acres) and someone picks you up and drop you off at the door.With the hibachi, small parties are often seated with other small parties, but we personally dont mind, and often end up chatting with the others throughout the night. The hibachi chefs are always entertaining! Side note, you can order combinations that arent listed, like upgrading to filet and/or pairing that with shrimp, fish, etc.The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and prepared beautifully. When the sushi bar is full, it can get a little tight up there, but not a problem for me. Even if youre at a hibachi table, you can still order the sushi.

Comment: Great hibachi place! Chefs are good and put on an enjoyable show for the most part. Food is excellent depending on your chef. Some do a really good job, some r soso. Worth a try. Know that your waitress has to share tips with the bar tender and cook so TIP ACCORDINGLY! 3 people are splitting it, so dont be cheap! If you get a good waitress, hand the part of the tip you want to go the waitress (directly in cash) to her and tell her its just for her.

Female employees dressed in kimonos and make employees dressed in slacks and button up shirts. No dress code posted. Quality food at reasonable pricing. High energy atmosphere which doesnt interfere with casual dining experience. Staff appears to be accommodating and very personable. Highly recommend this hibachi for both business and family outings.

Comment: I had nigiri only so I cant comment on the hibachi. The fish was acceptable quality. Sliced properly. Sadly the sushi rice was much too hard. My nigiri was also served on a warm plate (a no-no). Service was decent. Sadly I was hoping there might be green tea ice cream, but no such luck.

Comment: Great experience from the moment we walked in. Our hostess was friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The chef at the sushi bar as well as the hibachi chef were very entertaining and kept the atmosphere fun and light. The food was soectacular- this is one of the only places I would trust eating the raw fish in the area. They will take a complementary photo if you would like. The homemade tofu was great. They had many options, although not very appropriate food for toddlers. Very quiet and relaxing meal. You are not rushed at all and can take time to enjoy the fresh food and authenticity of this venue. Easy to find and parking has never been an issue.

Highly recommend Kampai to anyone. Always look forward to it, my favorite restaurant in the area by far.

Comment: The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was elegant and the hibachi chef skilled and entertaining. The sushi chef Andrew Matsushima was excellent. The owner, Richard Matsushima greeted us personally and checked on our table. The seaweed salad was crisp and flavorful. The sushi was fresh, and the hibachi cooked to perfect. The birthday certificate was an added bonus. Even without the discount, pricing is appropriate for this classy venue. Five stars, for perfection!

Comment: We have been dining at the Kampai for over 20 years. Richard and Debbie Matsushima have become very dear friends of ours. In all that time, we have NEVER had a bad meal! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is always homey and friendly, and the chefs are hilariously entertaining as they cook our meal for us at the hibachi grill. I have been to other Japanese restaurants, but they just cant compare with Kampai, mainly because they just dont have that relaxed friendly atmosphere, almost like Cheers!, where everybody knows your name. If youre ever there and come across a particularly raucous, rowdy table, that will be my family, cheering on our chef. Youre encouraged to cut loose and have fun. PS -- definitely try the green tea ice cream with the sweet bean topping. It is delicious! My favorite entree? The Chefs All-Inclusive. Its got a little bit of everything. Cant beat that!

Comment: Went in a party of 5 for Hibachi. Sat with 3 others at large cooking stations. Complete meals with multiple course. Chefs were funny and entertaining. All the food was great in cluding the dessert cocktail. Higher price for the area but great for special occasions.Did not eat in the dinning room; only had hibachi.
