This wasn’t my first time here, just haven’t been in a while. I remembered how good the fish and sushi were, and honestly, it’s one of the closest experiences to Japan around here. Glad to say I wasn’t disappointed. We came on a busy Saturday afternoon. At first, it felt like the servers weren’t super welcoming, but to be fair there were only two of them and the place was packed. We waited a bit for drinks and there wasn’t much communication at the beginning, but it did get better later on with one of the servers who was more attentive and on top of things. Aside from the wait, the food was re

This place feels different from other spots in the city. First, the atmosphere is really immersive and real: beautiful decor, amazing bathroom design, super cool Japanese music (I’ve Shazammed a few songs).

Both were really good, and the tataki were sooo gentle. I can tell the quality of fish used at Kanpai Izakaya is supreme. Overall, my bestie and I had an incredible time here, and we’ll definitely

I’m so happy that Kanpai Izakaya is now in Halifax! I used to dine at their Moncton location multiple times because their food was always consistently delicious — and I’m glad to say nothing has changed. The flavours, quality, and presentation are still top-notch. It feels like a familiar favourite found a new home, and I couldn’t be more excited. Me and my boyfriend will definitely be dining with them again the next time we visit Halifax. If you’re craving amazing Japanese dishes with great service, this is the place to go. Welcome to Halifax, Kanpai! 🍣🍜✨

Went here awhile ago and was impressed but forgot to leave a review at the time. I ordered the karage don, and it was incredible. The chicken was tender, and loved whatever sauce it had on it. If I ever find myself in Halifax again I will definitely make a return trip to this place! Atmosphere of the dining room was excellent as well. Waitress was prompt and and very friendly.
