Welcome to Kansai Japanese Steakhouse Elizabethtown, a gem nestled in the heart of Elizabethtown, KY. Located at 1611 N Dixie Hwy, this esteemed establishment seamlessly combines the rich traditions of Japanese cuisine with a modern culinary flair. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and engaging dining experience, Kansai offers everything from exquisite sushi to tantalizing teppanyaki dishes.

One of the standout features at Kansai is their innovative **Seafood Boil** specials, which are available daily. Imagine indulging in a feast of:

  • **Wednesday Special**: 1 lb. Shrimp and 1 Cluster of Snow Crab Legs, accompanied by corn and potatoes for $39.99.

The appetizers here are equally compelling. I highly recommend the Vegetable Tempura ($8.00) for a light and crunchy start, or the Shrimp Tempura ($10.00) if you're in the mood for something more substantial. For those who enjoy dumplings, the Gyoza ($8.50) filled with pork and vegetables is a must-try.

As for the main course, diners rave about the flavorful teriyaki chicken bento and steak yakisoba, which provide generous portions and a delightful blend of tastes. Customer Jamie S. shared that, despite a brief wait during holiday hours, the flavors were well worth it.

Stopped here for lunch at the end of our vacation and would recommend! Since it was a holiday, they were only serving from their dinner menu so the portions were larger than we anticipated. I ordered the teriyaki chicken bento and my partner ordered the steak yakisoba - both were flavorful, cooked well and met our expectations. Small, but quiet restaurant. Service was a little slow at times but again, it was a holiday.

We always have the best time here, it's become our favorite date night place! We always get great service and despite the restaurant not being huge, I am very comfortable and don't feel overcrowded or uncomfortable. The sushi is incredible! My partner has a shellfish allergy and they always adjust our sushi rolls for us, no problem. We really really appreciate the service here! I also love that they feature a few special rolls that aren't on the menu each time! They have them displayed by the sushi counter. It's fun to see what's new and try something different. We always look forward to seeing what new roll they've created. Highly recommend!!

We're huge sushi lovers, and when it comes to quality, you definitely pay for it here. We ordered so many rolls I don't remember the names of them all lol. The sushi chefs have always been kind and full of smiles so we tend to throw an extra tip in their bucket. We only come here on special occasions, but it's so worth it.

Standard teppanyaki restaurant also offering regular table sit down meals. Portion sizes are large, service is smooth, and friendly. The chef makes effort to create a family atmosphere. Ingredients are fresh and prepared to order. Went in with call ahead seating. Sat quickly at a full table. Orders and preparation was a quick turnaround. Strip mall it's in is busy on a busy road. Recommend for good food and large portion.

Having a dinner and movie type of night, this was my roomies choice for dinner. If you get there early enough before the dinner rush you are promptly seated. For starters, my roomie and I ordered the volcano as our alcoholic beverage of choice. One is plenty, and has tons of alcohol. For appetizers, we split a spicy tuna roll. For entrees, we both opted for the filet mignon and chicken. All entrees come with soup, salad, veggies, and fried rice. Our chef was spectacular! Cooked our meal to perfection and did an amazing job with entertaining us. The food is plenty, even though prices may seem steep. I highly recommend dining in and coming in for the experience. This place is fantastic and you will definitely be going home with a happy belly!
