I love this place. I go here every birthday, celebration, and outing. Its a 2 hour drive from Durham, and even with gas prices soaring, I would never give up a chance to eat here.

I've been going to this place for about 8 years, ever since my girlfriend at the time introduced me to the wonderful atmosphere of Japanese Cookery!. 8 years later, and atleast 30 visits later, I always have a GRAND spectacular time. Now that I have 2 kids, I can't wait to bring them in for a "VOLCANO Surprise." << make sure you ask for that!!!!


Atmosphere is great, and they finally added that outside patio, MUCH NEEDED!!. Bar selection is great, staff an chefs are always nice. And THE FOOD IS ALWAYS SPECTACULAR!!!


Now, I am a pretty hefty eater, I can down a 1 lb burger easily, but everytime I go to KANPAI, I Always order the Imperial Dinner. It comes with Fillet mignon, lobster, shrimp and scallops. And I think all dinners come with Soup, Salad an Shrimp Appetizer. Well back to the point, I eat a lot, and in my 8 years, Have never been able to finish a whole plate. I always take it home.


Well for the recommendations.
+I recommend the Green Dinosaur as a drink (Wife loves it)
+If you get the filet mignon I usually ask for medium rare, as it has the best flavor and texture.
+The white an ginger sauce


Oh, one last thing. Out of the +30 times I've been there, I actually was able to meet Wake Forest Basketball Players, A Detroit Lions Running Back, a NC House of Representative, and a Nascar Driver. I wish I remembered the names...but I do have pictures.. I'll try to post them up if i find them.

Very skimpy portions of salad and brocoli. Asked the waiter to take salad back and add more, which he did. This got us about half a salad bowl. Brocoli portion was 4 flowerets. This little bit on a $45 check per person. Still hungry after lobste ...

Great ambience, value, friendly service. Wide selection of Asian or Oriental food if you will. Very wide variety of food, some authentic and some less so. Another reviewer is apparently confused as this is not Thai food. Repeat, great value...l ...

Unbelievably Fantastic Sushi! Hibachi food is also excellent - Try their Grouper - to die for! My favorite sushi rolls are the Wake Forest and the True Love - phenominal!
