Kanpai Japanese Omakase - Sushi - Bar - Vinyl

Wonderfully cozy and intimate atmosphere. Perfect for enjoying classic rock and jazz with friends. The owner is personally present and engaging, though there's room for the bar staff to be a bit more interactive. The food quality is good and solid, making this a great spot for a relaxed night out with long-time companions. Warmly recommended

A place where you're transported to a world of funky mixes and Japanese tapas. A perfect balance for the senses. You can enjoy great cocktails and listen to vinyl records carefully selected by the host, who has impeccable taste. Pictures - vidéo © marianeeckhoutartworks #marianeeckhout #marianeeckhoutartwroks

Amazing omakase experience for a special occasion! We booked the take course, and every bite of seafood was super fresh. There were some unique seasonings and flavor combinations that definitely surprised us. Chef also took particular care of our specific fruit allergies. You can taste the thought and love the chef put into the menu, and the team was incredibly warm! Super chill environment, great music but still soft enough to be able to chat with your friends. Absolutely recommend the omakase if you’re treating someone to a special meal. We are definitely coming back for happy hour!

The omakase experience was simple, short, direct and just enough food for the night. Not too heavy, not a lot of heavy flavours. Particularly the rice, well made, tasted great, slightly sweet, not dry at all. Had interesting dishes I have never had before and they were good for the price point. The drinks were also deliciously made. Had a nice conversation with the owner and he is a chill gentleman with great taste in music. Definitely recommends this spot for a nice and relaxing evening. A good way to calm down your day after a busy day in Saigon.

Kanpai is one of those gems in Thao Dien that I always recommend to my close friends. To put it simply, if you have a good taste in music, cocktails, and food, this will satisfy all three. My go to has always been the honey umeshu, but their signature and classic cocktails are superb as well. Their food is surprisingly great as well, for a small little bar on a corner. They do a proper omakase and I’ve enjoyed the quality and range of options. Also in case it wasn’t clear, it’s a vinyl bar. So they’ve got some great tracks in house, including some favourites of my own. City pop even! A must try in town and although small, a very accommodating space.
