Here at Kanpai, we are about more than just incredible food or good service. We are about an experience. Whether you are looking for a candlelit dinner with that special someone, On vacation with the family, Just got out of the office, Or just need a break... Kanpai has something special for you. From our Japanese inspired interior, selection of fine wines and sakes, and wide variety of food and appetizers, we guarantee you'll find something you like. Sit at the wooden sushi bar and strike up a conversation with someone new. Celebrate that graduation in our banquet room. Or just grab a friend and enjoy some Pismo Rolls as the sun sets in one of our booths. But make sure you call ahead! We can get very busy! But maybe you are busy. Order to go! We are right off the 101 next to the Shell Station. Fuel up, "food" up, and be on your way in no time. We'll catch you again later! Drive safely! And enjoy the journey! Kanpai literally translated means "empty glass", or "cheers" as you'd call it here in the States. At Kanpai, we encourage you to live life to the fullest. Explore the beautiful coast. Watch that incredible sunset. Visit that winery. Reconnect with an old friend, and drink of life to its deepest point. We hope to share with you in that experience. But until that time, we wish you the best. Kanpai!
