Izakaya Sanpei Restaurant

Their Japanese curry is very flavorful and rich. Their Katsu and tempura shrimp was delightfully crisp. We had a little booth room to ourselves, and it had a very cozy feel to it. The owner visited us multiple times to make sure everything was okay, and to make small talk. We never had to ask for more water or for the check, the waitress paid excellent attention and didn't have to ask who got what to split the checks, or to re-run them for 5% off when we paid in cash. It's also a locally owned small business!

Update: came again and it was phenomenal again. The lunch beef bento box and sushi were amazing. This is definitely the best Japanese restaurant in Canton, MI. This place is amazing! The food is fantastic, the service is quick and the staff are super friendly. We ordered the duck hot pot for 2, and arrangement of sushi, the chicken teriyaki, etc. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

They have authentic japanese food, we had a very traditional dish "nabe" & it tasted like back in japan 🇯🇵the staff also spoke very fluent Japanese that was very surprising.

Pretty good sushi and the waiter was a cool guy. The hostess tried to rush us out because we finished good and paid (they had a wait), but my friend still had about half her beer left. We were only there about hour and 15 at this point. Other than that, we enjoyed our experience and the sushi was pretty tasty!

A great experience from beginning to end! The restaurant is clean and the women were so inviting. The meals are affordable, be sure to look over the entire menu before choosing because there are so many great things to try! My meal was absolutely delicious & filling. I got the Teishoku dish from the middle menu. Everything exceeded what we expected. Well Definitely be back!

I had the Bento Box at Izakaya Sanpei this afternoon, and every bite was a standout. The presentation was beautiful, with each compartment offering something unique and flavorful. The beef stir-fry was tender and well-seasoned with caramelized onions and peppers. The assorted sushi was fresh and expertly prepared — the tuna, white fish, and shrimp were all melt-in-your-mouth good. I also appreciated the variety: crisp vegetable tempura, tasty dumplings, and a selection of sides like Japanese potato salad and pickled vegetables rounded out the meal perfectly. It’s clear the kitchen takes great care with ingredients and balance. The flavors were clean, the textures satisfying, and the portion generous. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere had the cozy, authentic feel you'd hope for in a neighborhood izakaya. I'll definitely be back — highly recommended for anyone craving a high-quality Japanese lunch in a relaxed setting.

Recommended by a friend of mine, and I'm so glad I stopped in. The food was delicious. I brought a group here and everyone was impressed with the flavors and the portions. Their soft shell crab app was lovely with the ponzu sauce, and the sushi rolls were delicious and huge. Definitely coming back for the duck hot pot.

Food here is authentic and good. Sashimi good.
