From tasty fresh sushi and teppanyaki to maki and crispy tempura, Kampachi’s extensive menu has all the classics, arranged in logical order. If you only order one thing, make it the signature sashimi: it is arguably the best in the city. The super fresh fish is flown in from the famous Tsukji market in Tokyo.

Those who prefer sushi will be glad to know that there is a healthy selection; the nigri sushi special is reasonably priced in comparison to other Japanese restaurants. What’s more, the sushi dishes here do not skimp on the raw fish – indeed, the rice wrapping for certain dishes are practically eclipsed by the main attractions.

The tempura is another must-try dish – the crunchy batter is neither too thick nor too thin; other must-try dishes include soft shell crab, raw fish and hot stone fried rice. Complete your meal with Kampachi’s range of sake, sochu, mocktails and international wines.

Kampachi restaurant was listed as one of the Best Restaurants in Malaysia in 2011 by the Malaysian Tatler. There are numerous branches all over the country including one in Pavilion KL shopping centre as well Bangi-Putrajaya, Penang, Malacca and Johor.
