Kampai

What to order

Kampai is the Pacific Rim restaurant in the Casitas section — Buddhist décor, air-conditioned (making it the best lunch escape from the heat), and a sushi program that surprises guests who weren't expecting this quality at an all-inclusive. Reviewers consistently rate it among the top two restaurants on the property and return multiple times in a stay. Sushi is made fresh to order; the specialty rolls are the headline, but the Thai dishes hold up alongside them.

• Dragon Roll
  The most specifically named roll in Kampai reviews — the showpiece sushi preparation and the one to order first to set the bar for the rest of the meal.
• Spicy Tuna Roll
  Prepared with spicy tuna and optional jalapeño and Thai chile on request; consistently praised as one of the best-executed rolls at Kampai.
• Salmon and Avocado in Soy Paper with Mango
  The most inventive presentation on the menu; soy paper wrap with tropical mango adds a Caribbean note that works well alongside the more traditional rolls.
• Pad Thai
  The Thai dishes are the hidden strength at Kampai alongside the sushi; pad thai is the reliable order if you want noodles over raw preparations.

Sushi is made fresh to order — expect a brief wait during peak lunch hours, which is a sign of quality. Worth returning multiple times in a stay.
