   Easily the best dining experience in Jackson, and maybe the best modern Japanese in the country. Sitting at the counter is an absolute delight.

   Kampai was absolutely phenomenal. It was the perfect place to celebrate our engagement, and honestly, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The sashimi and nigiri were exceptional, and the rolls were just as impressive. We sat at the bar, which I wouldn’t have wanted to do anywhere else. Chef Chris, with over 20 years of experience and summers spent in Japan, brings a level of authenticity that’s hard to find. His expertise truly shines through in every dish. The service was impeccable. Drinks were constantly refilled without interruption, and plates were cleared promptly. The staff moved like ninjas—so smooth and efficient that I barely noticed our space being cleaned. It was seamless. I can’t recommend Kampai enough—it’s an experience everyone should have. Having dined at Michelin-starred restaurants, I can confidently say I would choose Kampai over any of them. This place is a must!

   Always a treat to be at Kampai - can never go wrong with the Karage, the Kinoko, and the John Galt and Gris Ventre rolls.

   Amy was an amazing addition to our experience at Kampi! She, along with her manager made the best suggestion and absolutely made our Christmas Eve meal over the top!

   We booked for dinner at 5pm and were lucky to take advantage of the 5-6pm happy hour! Loved the carafe of sake (Bushido), the karage (fried chicken), we also got the shrimp ceviche, and one of each roll ( tuna, salmon, and shrimp tempura). The miso soup was perfect! Also you must try the cocoa creme brulee!! Great ambiance and service! I’m so glad I got to go here for my birthday!

   Making a reservation at Kampala on Open Table is a complete failure. If you reserve upstairs be aware that 2/3rds of the menu is not available. This is not in any way communicated when you reserve a table. For reasons the staff is unable to explain they are not able to bring food up the elevator. On a previous visit in summer we were sitting outside on the roof deck which was fine until it started raining literally sideways, The staff made no effort to accommodate us inside out of the rain, so we just had to leave. Hardly the service one would expect from what is otherwise one of the best restaurants in Jackson.

   The food quality is unbelievably good always, and the service surprised me every time. This time chef Christopher and server Tim(?) made my evening just fantastic.
