Kan Pai - Bakersfield

First the hostess cost a star. Unclear on availability for seating. There was only two of us and the bar was getting full but the hostess failed to mention outside seating was available. Both to us and the other couple that came several minutes after we arrived. She then proceeded to say that we had to wait for our server but then seated us anyways. This did not exude confidence. We ordered some beverages they were tasty. Ordered jalapeño poppers as an appetizer. Fresh jalapeños tempuras with cream cheese and spicy sauce very good. Highly recommend. We got the little red roll. Wrapped in avocado to soothe the heat it was a good roll to add to the mix. We got the spicy yellowtail roll. It was fine not tightly wrapped but tasty. The star of the evening was the autumn roll. Crunchy tempura shrimp in rice wrap and other goodness. With several sauces on top. Very good. Topped off with dewars peppermint ice cream. Perfect

Came here for the happy hour! They have it Mon-Fri. 2-5pm Bar Patio only. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura Roll $9 for HH) it was delish! We also ordered the surf turf roll $22), it's pricey but it's worth it! I love how you can order hibachi from the tables and you don't have to eat in front of the grill if you don't want to. The service was just okay. She was busy with other tables, I get it but getting her attention was a challenge. Otherwise, we will return!

This is absolutely my new favorite sushi spot! I 'd like to start by saying that I don 't normally ever go for a roll with cream cheese as the flavor generally overpowers the entire roll. However, the Philadelphia Roll here was utterly amazing!! So much so, we ordered it twice! The flavors of the avocado salmon were exquisite and you got a hint of cream cheese at the end. This will definitely be a staple roll every time I come. The Ebi Go Roll, wow wow wow! I didn 't know what to expect as a few of the ingredients I had never tried in a roll before. But this is hands down THE BEST roll I 've had in my life. I felt like Remy from Ratatouille when he experiences a mixing of flavor profiles. This roll blew my mind and was the perfect combination of everything. I will be back to order this 1000%!! If you 're considering ordering it, do it! All the other rolls we ordered were delicious as well and there was not one piece of sushi left to spare. I cannot wait to come back again and try more of the menu. #veryhappycustomer

Glad this place is an option here in Bakersfield. Made reservations here , especially since it was Valentine's Day. Recommend reservations for sure either way; holiday or non. The sushi tasted fresh. The chef was awesome; did a lot of tricks that were entertaining. Loved his choo choo train sounds and demonstration. Food cooked exactly as you order , especially the meat. Add jalapeños to ur fried rice; gives it a nice little kick with ur meal. Very filling meal; ask for containers for ur leftovers. Taste good the next day also. They add gratuity automatically on ur bill; so check that out closely. Nice size shrimp; not them itty bitty ones where you have to eat a few at a time to think you ate one piece. It can be causal or fancy if you please. I would recommend they ask u if you want more sauces, for your food though before they take off to the next table.

I'll tell ya for free, this place used to not be my jam, but I'm a convert and now LOVE IT. Drinks are tasty and well poured, huge appetizer list, tons of yummy sushi, and you can order teppan AT A TABLE. GAME-CHANGER. We are frequent teppan eaters but after 20 years of it, watching the same tricks and acting excited isn't enjoyable. We want to be able to eat the food without the show, and you can here!!! Protip- ask for some mustard sauce to be cooked in with the fried rice, you won't be sorry!! We are also super thrilled that they have scallops as an option and they were cooked perfectly!! I will say that I will be passing in the garlic tuna carpaccio... definitely was nothing to write home about and isn't worth the money. Man..... now I'm salivating thinking about eating there!
