Worst Japanese food ever: Kanpai Sushi in Livermore
April 9th, 2007 by ktula
Kanpai is Japanese for “Cheers”. Unfortunately, there is really nothing to cheer for eating at Kanpai Sushi. The meal i had about an hour ago was probably one of the worst Japanese meals i ever had in a very long time. I am not a picky eater by any mean and it is really easy to satisfy me. If the food is at least halfway decent, it is a good meal for me in my book.
Too lazy to think of what to eat for dinner after dropping off a package at a UPS store, i decided to head over to Kanpai Sushi located in the same mall. May be i should have heeded the “DO NOT EAT HERE” alarm that went off in my head when i entered the restaurant not seeing any Asian faces other than those that were working there. I ordered the Chirashi Sushi dinner which came with a bowl of miso soup and salad. I also ordered a glass of green tea. Green tea is supposed to be green. Whatever “green tea” they were serving, it was definitely not green. It was more like brown tea than green tea. The miso soup was extremely watered down. The dressing on the salad looked and tasted like soy sauce. If i wanted soy sauce in my salad, i would have added it on my own. The Chirashi Sushi came with generous portions of fish. Sushi is definitely something that quality matters more than quantity. Even though my bowl was loaded with raw fish, most of them tasted really bland. At the Sushi bar, there was a piece of fish in the fish refrigerator that looked like it had been there for weeks. It is not often that i say this but i actually wished that the chef had not been so generous with raw fish. When i was eating, i really wanted to get it over with and get my ass out of there.
If you are in the Livermore area and you have a craving for Sushi, Kanpai Sushi is not the place to go.
