Kanpai Japanese Restaurant & Bar is situated at Sri Petaling and recently just open their newly branch at Taman Connaught. This restaurant called "Japanese BBQ but not Japanese Restaurant". The concept is you can order the raw meat and barbeque yourself. Their menu is about ramen, bento set and bbq. There is no sushi that is why i said is not japanese restaurant.
Yesterday was my 2nd time visit this restaurant. Bringing my friend to try the food. Overall the food was good but the service is bad (for me). First time visiting is acceptable but yesterday was not good at all. They have in buffet package or set package. Buffet package got 2 choices which is RM 35++ and RM 45++ . The difference between both is RM45++ have shisamo, crab, smoked duck breast and expensive part of beef meat (if not mistaken). Yes !!!! eat all you can. If 1 person order for buffet, then the whole table must order the same thing.
I choose to eat for set since i can't eat too much but if think clearly, buffet is better than set. I order set for 2 people is include 5 selection of raw meat, vegetables and white rice. Add on for RM1 to get a green tea or soup or dessert. You can choose either one. At last we still order some ala carte, that is why i said buffet is more better. Besides BBQ, you can order their ramen and bento but i'll never try so can't explain is nice or not.
The 5 selections in their set is not enough for us, so we additional order pork and beef meet. Average ala carte for the meat is about RM12 - RM15. Is depend what part of the meat you ordering. RM13 for the portion of pork is quite lot (in kl). Estimate about 8 - 9 pcs. They have something like skewer too (satay stick).
As you refer to above picture, this is mini burger. You can select different meat that you would like to try. You can choose chicken, pork, smoked duck breast, beef and others. I choose pork, min order must be 2 and RM3.90 each. My friends like their chilies so much because is spicy.
Disappointed:
Overall food presentation and quality is average but i really don't like the service. I felt service is very important in order people to go back again not only food (to me). Yesterday is the 2nd time i visit this restaurants. We order the set together with the Green Tea, they suppose volunteer to refill the green tea for us but they do it only when we ask. For the first time customer, we do not know whether the green tea can be refill or not. They have open kitchen so customers can see them cooking but i think that is the platform for their own staff chatting. I have to call them twice or triple times only i can they take order.
We order the mini burger for 2nd time. The 1st they put along the chilies (refer photo above) but the 2nd time it just the burger without the chilies. I always felt the staff, no matter the chef or the waiter are work in simply way and not using the heart. What i mean hearts is they never look into every customer needs. I order ala-carte a plate of onion (cost RM2.00) and they didn't give us and charge us on the bill. They suppose to check every order all the time but they didn't do it. We found out the bill after we went home so we can't argue about the onion. Is really quite disappointed. I hope they can do better with their service.
