Kanpai Izakaya

Easily one of the best Japanese food experiences in the city, down to the presentation. With such a varied menu there are a lot of great options to choose from. The selection of Sake and other drinks is also large enough that it makes sure that you always have a unique experience.

This was the best food of our entire Halifax trip. It tasted delicious ad came out so fast. The menu helps you decide with all the beautiful photos, but also makes you want to order everything! And the taste did not fail. I would go back here everyday next time I am in Halifax. Do yourself a favour and try this on your first day, instead of the mistake I made by trying it on my second last day. Also, the waitress was very kind and friendly to us and every single other table around us! She told us about her recent trip to Toronto and was very gracious. Vegetarian options: So many options, such as agadashi tofu. Dietary restrictions: When I mentioned my peanut allergy she confirmed there are no peanuts on the premises.

High-quality food! A lovely place for dinner. The place has a nice and cozy traditional atmosphere. I had the pokebowl and it was amazing! There's only one option for dessert but it's a great one; a perfectly balanced cheesecake! The staff is also very friendly and made good recommendations.

Went here on Christmas Eve and was not disappointed. The sushi was amazing. Fresh, well made, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was simply wonderful. You could dress casual, semi-formal, for even straight formal and wouldn't feel out of place. Definitely will be returning.

Let’s forget about the welcome and thank you that you hear as you walk and leave all in Japanese, let’s talk about Jack’s the server smiles and the “SO SO AMAZING” food that they serve. Food was so fresh, and healthy and absolutely f…inc delicious Don’t miss out, get the food with hot sake and go to heaven or Japan for a couple of hours

I ordered salmon poke for pick up. I paid $23 including tax and tips. First thing I was concerned about was the portion size. Little did I know it would be so small. They could certainly put at least more rice. The bowl is half empty, or half full if you will. All the ingredients were fresh, had good texture, but I certainly needed some sauce. Imho, the taste was a bit dull without it. Do they have sauce options? I wasn’t offered and did think of asking about it. I enjoyed it. Oh silky salmon, it was delicate and delicious. Would I pay the same price again for the same bowl? Probably not. Only if it was bigger and with sauce options.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Highly recommend!! Me and my boyfriend went here earlier this month and it was just what I was expecting! Foods were so delicious and the staffs were super friendly!!! Definitely will go back there again!

Place: Chick and cool decorations. Love their Japanese lantern hanging overhead. Food: Perfect temperature, hot from stove, authentic Japanese taste. Price: $7-$10 for appetizers. $15-$22 per dish for A La Carte. Portion: Small portion for me. It is my personal issue. But i have to find something to eat more after that.

Very beautiful decor and ambiance at the restaurant and very friendly service. Presentation of the food was also very nice. Overall the food was good but there could be been some improvements.....ponzu sauce on beef tatake needed more flavour, and grilled mackeral was a little over done. Taco Wasabe could use less Wasabe and red onions as it overpowered the octopus. Must try the buttered squid. Enjoy!

We chose this restaurant in part because of its proximity to the Public Gardens and its lunch-time hours. We had buttered octopus, baby squid and edamame. I found the squid tough, but my partner was happy with it. Nice service.
