This place was great! The tuna chili mayo sushi rolls were super tasty and the staff were over the top friendly. Would come here again. Decently priced food as well as Japanese snacks, sweets, cooking ingredients, and tools.
A very cute store located in the glen echo area that has great sushi for a good price ! The food was prepared fast with no issues and the taste was pretty good ! I would definitely come back.
Been going to Kanpai since they opened. Always fresh, reliable quality, friendly owner and staff. I also enjoy the variety of snacks that they sell and the basic Japanese condiments are mostly available when I don't feel like a trip to the Asian grocery store. Reasonable prices. Love the daily lunch boxes, too. Best to call ahead because they get pretty busy, especially on weekdays.
What a hidden gem this place is. As soon as I walked in and saw the Japanese groceries, fresh fish, etc, I was reminded of another place I used to go to in Illinois that was very similar and had very good sushi. My expectations for this place were very high and I'm happy to say my expectations were met. I ordered a few simple rolls, they were made fresh in front of me, and they were all delicious. I really enjoyed the quality of ingredients and how fresh and delicious everything tasted. I'm usually not in this part of town very often but I'll make sure to come back whenever I'm passing through.
I'm pretty sure this is some of the best sushi in the entire US. Hidden gem in a hole in the wall. We are willing to drive the 55 min to go get more on another occasion. If you are down by Great Falls and don't know what to eat, look no further.
I can tell the fish was of great quality. I tried the lunch sushi that was $13 for two basic rolls and two pieces of sushi. I will definitely go back to try different items here.
In Glen Echo and want tasty sushi? Stop reading this, order ahead, and by the time you get there you'll be able to pickup some delish fish for takeout!
Eel bowl is a personal fave, and the spot also has a small market for Japanese food!
The sushi restaurant is decent. The sushi isn't the best without ginger and/or wasabi, but it's still pretty good. They carry a small collection of Japanese grocery as well, which is a nice touch.
Love them!!! My order is completed quickly and weather I eat in or order out they always give me an apptizer sushi while I wait. Staff is friendly and when my 8 year-old comes they give her the kid chopsticks which makes her feel special. I love the lunch box special. Lots of food for a good price. This is a hidden gem!!
This is an excellent to-go only sushi establishment. Note that they close at 7pm and can refuse orders close to closing time. That said, the sushi is well executed and delicious. The party platters are also very nice for bigger gatherings - just order a day or two in advance.
This place is easy to miss but it is an absolute must try. They have excellent raw fish. I always get the lunch box special and have yet to have anything less than amazing. I wish I could give it 6 stars, a MUST TRY.
Forever 5 stars, by far some of the best most authentic sushi. I literally go to other sushi places and then tell everyone there how much better Kanpai is. I freaking love this place.

Good reasonably priced sushi. Pretty much the only place in the area to get sushi at an appropriate rate. It may not seem obvious from Google maps, but this is takeout, don't expect to sit there and dine. You get an opportunity to see the people make the sushi rolls in front of you. The shop itself is rather small, so you might want to make the order in advance or go to the nearby pharmacy while you wait for your order.
The service was prompt and polite, the sushi was absolutely delightful: the fish was fresh and clean, the rice soft and fluffy, and the inside was coated with a little bit of wasabi as it should be. The miso soup was savory and warm. All for 14.20 as well (I added another roll on top of the lunch box price of 8.45)
This place always has the freshest sushi and the sashimi is great too. I like that they make it right in front of you and they also have delicious seaweed salad. I highly recommend Kanpai Sushi.
Some of my favorite sushi with reasonable prices. I really like their eel bowls and they have many authentic japanese snacks imported from japan.
I’m Japanese born and love authentic sushi. This place is great!!! Spicy version actually have a spicy paste instead of being mixed in a spicy mayo.
As always they are the very best 👌!! Lovely and warm staff who make these delicious "bites," are a definite plus!!
