Kan Pai - Bakersfield

My family and I really enjoy the food here. It can be a bit pricey, but quality comes at a cost. We visit at least once a month. I recommend going to Costco to buy a gift card for this restaurant; it can save you about $20. Costco offers gift cards for around $79.99 that are worth $100 here. I hope you find my suggestion useful!

The food here is just average. It feels more like a bar with overpriced, mediocre dishes. The sushi lacked flavor and something was missing. The chicken tasted as if it came straight from the freezer and was unseasoned. The baked shells were fantastic, but at $10 for just three, it's a bit steep. Overall, it's more of a social spot than a dining destination. If you're looking for a teppanyaki experience, be sure to make a reservation in advance. On a positive note, the waiter was exceptional—very attentive and well-presented. Unfortunately, the food just didn't match the high prices.

Service was good. Food was not great. Under seasoned. Not worth the money to be honest. My picture shows majority rice and a little bit of steak. 33 dollars for this. Meat was not worth it. Underperformed in my opinion. Won?t be going back.

We celebrated a birthday dinner and had a wonderful time! The service was excellent; despite having many energetic children in our group, the servers were patient and seemed to truly enjoy their presence, making them part of the overall experience.

It was my birthday dinner. I had been with an excellent experience before COVID. Not so much this time. The only nice employee was the Teppan cook... if we didn't go out for him. The host was incredibly rude. The server has instructed one of my guests more on their cheque because it has charged them for the account of another. They brought me a high chair that was sticky and didn't work to keep a child. It was not busy, but they seemed through our requests for placement and served with a reservation per week in advance. Very disappointed. Maybe. I am an educated consumer, but regardless of that, I will never go back.
