Kanpai Japanese Steak & Seafood House

.I went with a family of four, I had the Shrimp/Scallop/Salmon for like 16 dollars; and after the Chef (very friendly and very funny) finished making the food, I had about a mound of Fried rice, more than half a dozen scallops, vegetables and rice overfilling the plate, freshly cooked shrimp, and a very nicely cooked salmon. Anywhere else and you would pay a premium for this kind of food. Def!!! worth every penny. I joked with my brother telling him that he had enough food feed a third world country. (By the way, I usually eat quite a lot, and when my Brother and I cant finish a meal, it usually means its more than a LOT) I recommend going early. I went there two days ago and from 4pm-6:30pm is the best time; but after that and it gets incredibly busy. Staff members are incredibly nice and friendly, hostess and hosts are straightforward and prompt < generally more active and run around a lot. Parking was plentiful, and the aroma of cooking was delightful. Anyways, I recommend this p

"Kanpai, also known as "Cheers!""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
