I recommend this dining experience...

I want to specify this; it is currently late in the year 2021, for clarifications to other reviews and photos posted on Google/Google Maps, in reference to reviews about this restaurant. I ordered through a third party delivery partner, but I looked up the menu items I was unfamiliar with, as I was unable to believe I was getting 7 (SEVEN!) items within my bento box, as it showed on the delivery partners website! However I was able to confirm that as well as through looking the restaurant up, while I continued looking for the listed and specified menu item included (discludes ingredients within the menu items descriptions,) to further help me in selecting the best choice for myself. Should you (Which, Yes, You Should!) order one of this restaurants Bento box dinners, you receive your chosen entre, gyoza, a house salad, a soup (pint sized container,) tempurad veggies, white rice, and their California roll. Check out my accompanying photos as, I wanted to provide the best feedback and review, as well as up to date review possible, for this restaurants delivery only experience; especially since I ordered mine through my favorite delivery partner DoorDash. Additionally because I had seen someone had written a review that they tried to go there to eat, and they are still currently operating under take out orders, or deliveries, as well as third party delivery partner ordering, at this moment. The food is fresh, exquisite, well worth the cost, provides an amazing variety, and is served complete with wasabi, fresh ginger, soy sauce, chopsticks, spoons/forks/napkins. Which I wasn't expecting as well. I am so so so very happy, pleased, thrilled, and will be a repeating customer, to this amazing Japanese, Sushi, Chinese, Americanized Flair of Fare style in which is devoted to true description. Additionally because I'm so pleased and have been so disappointed in far too many other restaurants delivery and take out descriptions until I already had opened it at home..... Sushi Kampai is a leader in bang for buck, great taste with variety, and I pass along my compliments to management, and also my compliments and my appreciation to their chefs, and to my delivery partner and driver!!! Killer team! Killer price! Killer quantity!!!! And killer meal that is more than enough to feed two.... Although, who wants to share instead of having leftovers!!!!! It is well worth it to share your leftovers the next day, just as my, maybe a better suggestion if you may want one slightly different entree, but do not dislike the other person's choice and live together or will be together for two or three days in a row. This restaurant knocked it out of the park, as I am a New Yorker, who has Finally after 3 years found my go to for all of the above food cravings and options listed previously within my review. I hope when you do order you enjoy this fantastic treasure as much as I have, and will continue to do! Enjoy happy eating, dinning, sharing, and experiences that help us make and create the memories of friends, family, distant family, video date night, study or cram nights, or those nights when it just like, "alright kids mommy and or daddy and I would like to have our eat at home date night," of course without being sakd once the kids are asleep, or a friend, family member, sitter, or older sibling, takes care of the usual hard day's work we all go through and do deserve our breaks from. Yay for not pots, pans, dishes, silverware, bowls, plates, spatulas, and any other endless tools we use continuously to feed ourselves and whom we love...

Today I wanted a couple cucumber rolls. I really wanted to try Sushi Kampai because all of the reviews are stellar. However from the time I walked in the door everything went downhill. The lady at the register was very rude to me the entire time. I could tell when I walked in from the look on her face and tone in her voice that she didn’t want to be bothered with me. I thought to myself ok maybe I’m trippin my hormones are raging because I’m hungry, so I’ll just ignore her attitude and order my food. But ANY question I asked her about the menu she rebutted my request and caught an even bigger attitude. I tried to explain to her that I’m pregnant and can’t eat raw sushi so i’d just like a couple cucumber rolls. She continued to not listen to me and speak to me like I was stupid and couldn’t comprehend a menu. She even kept suggesting other menu items even though I kept repeating what I wanted. She walked away to serve some seated guests. I really should have left then , but it smelled so good in there. I just wanted to order and get out of there as fast as I could before I lost it. By this point I’m beyond starving and decide I want to also order chicken and broccoli too. She comes back and I for the 5th time since being there try to order yet again. I repeat my cucumber roll order and ask to add chicken and broccoli. She caught attitude with me for the last time. I politely put down the menu told her I don’t want anything and walked out the door. She seemed happy to have discouraged me from ordering so she could go on about her day. If I weren’t so irritated and hungry I would have got her name. It’s so sad to me that a place with such amazing reviews is a place I’ll never get to experience. If your employee’s don’t like to be asked questions about your menu or like helping customers then you need NEW employees. I will never go back and spend any money there and it’s a shame I have to punish myself for your employee’s terrible behavior. Everyone enjoy your meals for me in the future, sadly I will never get that opportunity. Crazy part is the owner’s never even reply to the good reviews so I know this review will go un-noticed! Either way it needed to be...
