I liked this restaurant so much I ate there twice in the same week. The server was excellent and recommended all the dishes. Each was better than the next. My favorite was a beef roll that I ordered both times.

The food, ambiance and service was top notch. Well worth a visit and I would say a good place for a business dinner as they have private dining areas

I remember growing up - frequently coming for their famous Japanese weekend buffets, where the restaurant took up most of the Mezzanine floor. There were sushi tables, teppanyaki grills, pancake and ice cream stands etc etc etc Last weekend, we tried the New Year's Day lunch buffet and I was shocked that Kampachi has now been pushed to a small...

We visited this restaurant twice during our stay in the Bangi Equatorial hotel. Ok, we know Teppanyakki is not the most authentic Japanese cuisine (some say it was only invented for tourists), but we enjoy it very much. The first time we took the Royal Course, which was served far too quickly (53'15"). The second time, we asked for a... More

Dont get scared by the Hotel itself. Its years past its best times and usually not the kind where you expect good...anything. At the Kampachi itself, we were greated warmly by name.

Some friends & co-workers have often recommended Kampachi so we decided to give it a try. I must say we were very disappointed. For the price, the quality wasn't great and there was no finesse in the service. The servers were no different from an average chinese restaurant. Won't be back.
