Kanpai Classic Soho

We had the Wagyu steak dining experience for my birthday and it was lovely! Food's the best, especially the presentation; we were well taken cared of by the superb staff, shoutout to Yip for the best service, talking us through the food and all. Very welcoming! Worth a try! They even gave me an extra dessert for my birthday! Will come back again with my friends soon!

An Unforgettable Wagyu Experience at Kanpai Classic. From the moment I stepped into Kanpai Classic, I was immersed in a world where elegance, tradition, and culinary excellence converge. Specialising in the art of Japanese Wagyu, this restaurant delivers an extraordinary dining experience that goes far beyond expectations. Every dish was a celebration of flavour and finesse, the Wagyu, in particular, was grilled to perfection, allowing the natural marbling and delicate richness to truly shine. It’s rare to find food that is both so indulgent and so refined. The service was equally exceptional. Faye, our host for the evening, was simply outstanding, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the experience she helped create. She made an already incredible evening feel even more special. Kanpai Classic isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a destination for anyone who appreciates culinary artistry and impeccable service. One of the best dinners I’ve ever had in London, and an experience I’ll be returning for without a doubt.

Overall a bit skeptical on this place. Is it fine dining? Is it fast casual dining? I went there and they seated us right on front of restaurant. Air-conditioning blaring on us. Asked to change direction and that helped, but the manager found this request challenging I had to ask twice. The beef tongue was good, and the rib eye fingers were good. Just not 5 star overall. Sorry can't be overly excited. The staff were pleasant - but did not have the details required on each dish to live up to the marketing of this place.

The best Wagyu dining experience in London! The beef was incredibly tender and full of flavor, truly Michelin-level quality. The staff provided warm and attentive tableside service that made the evening unforgettable. Elegant atmosphere, flawless execution, and the most delicious Wagyu I have ever tasted. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary experience.

Perfect evening. Jamil and the team were incredibly welcoming. It’s a unique and enjoyable experience to have your food grilled right at your table — it creates a relaxed atmosphere and sparks great conversations with the staff throughout the evening. The Wagyu was outstanding — truly top quality. However: • The bill included a 20% service charge, which is well above the standard (and usual) 12.5%. • Yes, the waiter asked me to check the bill. • And yes, I could have said something. • But imagine the awkwardness of telling your waiter — someone you’ve just spent the evening chatting with about the amazing food — that he’s charged too much for his own service. That’s why I’m giving one star for service. Not because the service was bad — it wasn’t — but to make other customers aware of this practice. I would have much preferred to decide for myself whether or not to leave a little extra. The Kanpai Classic is therefore one of the pricier restaurants — but no matter: a great evening with quality food and a genuinely good team

This Japanese wagyu beef restaurant is perfect for special occasions. The beef was unbelievably tender, rich, and full of flavor—each bite just melts in your mouth. The service was impeccable, and the elegant ambiance elevated the whole experience. Truly a memorable dining spot for celebrating something special! This is effectively an experience.

Had a fantastic experience trying this place for the first time. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best I’ve had in a while. Eva went above and beyond to make us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. She was not only friendly and professional but also attentive throughout the entire meal. It’s always great to discover a spot that delivers both great food and exceptional service. Highly recommended!

From the moment you walk in, you feel so welcome. The staff is friendly, they greet everyone walking in. The inside is simple but lovely and interesting. The drink menu is fantastic, we tried two different drinks. The food menu is pretty extensive but well explained. The food was prepared in front of you and can be customized if requested. Would absolutely recommend to anyone to try! Absolutely fantastic!
