Kansai Concord offers a straightforward, no-fuss Japanese dining experience nestled on Willow Pass Rd. The setting is spacious enough to comfortably host families, groups, and solo diners looking for a relaxed sit-down meal that stretches into late evening—it's one of the few local spots open until around 11:30pm, making it a solid choice for dinner after a long day.

The restaurant thrives on freshness and variety, focusing primarily on classic sushi rolls, sashimi, and teriyaki dishes. Regulars often praise standout items like the Kansai roll and lion and dragon rolls, which showcase bold flavors without feeling overly complicated. Beyond sushi, teriyaki options like chicken, beef, and salmon offer hearty alternatives for those who want something warm and savory. The menu also includes comforting sides such as miso soup and seaweed salad, which complement the main dishes well.

The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, with staff that are attentive without being intrusive. This balance makes it a practical choice for both casual meals and slightly more celebratory outings. Expect a friendly service style that checks in regularly to keep diners comfortable, and generous portions that pair nicely with reasonable prices, reflecting the neighborhood’s unassuming but sincere dining culture.

Kansai is best suited for local families, sushi lovers, and anyone exploring Japanese flavors beyond the standard rolls. Its openness to late-night diners and large menu selection means it fits well into the weekday dinner routine as well as weekend group outings. If you want fresh fish paired with familiar dishes in a welcoming environment that doesn’t rush you, Kansai Concord comfortably fills that niche in this part of town.

Might be my new favorite sushi restaurant. Everything we ordered was enjoyable, but the Kansai roll takes the cake. Possibly the best sushi roll I have tried in a long time. Will be back.

Very friendly service, the waitress was so nice and attentive, and kept coming back to check on us. We're all happy with our food. The food was tasty and the fish was fresh. The portion was generous and the price was quite reasonable. It's definitely one of the best Japanese restaurant in Concord. We'll surely come back. As a added bonus, they open until.11:30pm.

I’m not a big sushi person, but genuinely enjoyed this restaurant along with my family. It had a great selection of food items to choose from, really kind and welcoming staff, and the restaurant was spacious. The dragon and lion rolls were my favorite but odds are you’ll enjoy whatever items you choose.
