👍👍 One of the best and freshest sushi I've had in the US. (Believe me, I have a high standard for sushi) We ordered $90 omakase (15 pieces in total) and were totally satisfied with every piece. Each piece was bigger and thicker than expected. Rolls were great too. Excellent quality! I'll definitely be...

    The best sushi place I have ever been to!!!! They have the most fresh sashimi and ingredients with other delicious dishes. Price was very reasonable for what we had and the excellant service they provided! All the staff member were very welcoming and polite. I will definitely come back with my parents and try the private spaces they have for a more cozy and dedicated setting to ourselves. I forgot to take pictures but I definitely recommend seabass croquettes, omakase bowl, unagi hot pot, and creamy nagasaki udon nabe to try in addition to the items shown in the pictures. THANK YOU!!!! 🥳🙏🏼

    Kappi Miyabi became one of my favorite restaurant ! My friend and I ordered a lot (but there was no left over). I am really picky about sushi and OMG the sushi quality was soooo good. Especially the Uni(sea urchin) and Amaebi(sweet shrimp) were so fresh and delicious. Sea bass skewers were very soft and flavorful, I will definitely order again next time! You must try seafood chanpon udon, you will not regret. All the dishes, I uploaded, must be popular dishes from restaurant, hope everyone try all :) Oh! Their entrance is beautiful to take a picture !

    Visiting from Hawaii this is my favorite spot so far one of the best sushi I have had yet! Server's are very nice and accommodating with fast service. Many tables available indoor and outdoor. Great environment and everything we ordered was very tasty! I will return here for sure and recommend this spot to anyone in the area looking for a very good Japanese restaurant with amazing sushi and many other food options as well. Perfect for family and friends!

    Very nice sushi place. Quality of the food was very good and most of it is the traditional sushi (you won't find a cali roll here). We got one lunch omakase per person and I recommend getting the Hokkaido cheese tart for dessert!

    Nice place with high quality fish. A little pricey but it's Santa Monica so pretty typical. We didn't have reservation so we had to sit at the bar which was fine. It's a little annoying that their machine at the bar beeps every few minutes when they get an order, customers shouldn't have to hear the beeping sound! Otherwise it was a good meal. Also it was really cold inside, the customers next to us asked them to reduce their AC. Dress warm if you eat here.

    Update: I went back to give it another try last month and it was a much better experience than back in February. We went on Friday at around 7:30 pm and didn’t expect much besides seated indoors since it was super chilly outside. We were greeted into the tatami room and I believe it was because there were not that many customers at this time. We ordered our usual especially their Wagyu crispy rice and everything was superb. This time, the servers and waitress were attentive and didn’t mess up our orders. I thoroughly enjoyed this recent visit. It was a complete 360 turn from the last visit and I realized I needed to update this review. —————— Previous Rating: 3 Stars I really wish I could give them five stars but our overall experience was lackluster. My cousin called the restaurant the day before regarding reserving the tatami room and the restaurant had confirmed the reservation. We arrived a couple of minutes later than our reservation but the street parking was terrible on a Saturday night. We told the host we had a reservation for the tatami room and she told us to wait outside. They then seated us outside a couple of minutes later and we were so confused since we called the day before confirming the reservation for the room. The server stated we were not listed for the tatami room and someone else was occupying it. We didn’t want to leave so we took the outdoor seating. The food was incredibly delicious and quite literally the reason the restaurant deserved stars. There were miscommunications between the waitress and our orders and they kept giving us the wrong order however, that was rectified and all was good in the end. We would come back for the food but we hope that the communication could improve to better our experience.

    I recently visited this sushi restaurant and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance was relaxing and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The sushi was beautifully presented and tasted fresh and delicious. Each piece was a work of art, with a unique combination of flavors and textures. The menu had a great variety of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Overall, I highly recommend this sushi restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

    You know that a Japanese restaurant is legit with the majority of the guests is Japanese. ✨ First time here and I have to say I'm impressed! One of the freshest sashimis I've had. 🥹 We try: - Premium Chirashi 🍚. This dish is like a BYO Chirashi. Great variety of fresh fish and it comes with small plates of pickles too! 🤤 I'm honestly very impressed with the freshness of their fish. The scallop and toro are soooo good. This chirashi is huge, it can feed two hungry people, I believe. Highly recommended! 🌟 - Butakaku 🐷. It's a slow cooked pork belly in glazed soy sauce. Another favorite of mine! ♥️ Love how tender and flavorful the pork is. Definitely a great starter! - Steamed Asari, japanese sake steamed clam. It's an okay dish for us and it comes out lukewarm. - Pork Sukiyaki 🍲. Love their sukiyaki broth because it's not too sweet. but I believe some people might think it's too bland 😆. The sauce that comes with the raw egg truly elevates the dish, it's rich, creamy, and flavorful. Can’t wait to go back to try more foods! ☺️

    The wagyu beef pot is just regular beef. This looks nothing like in the other reviews and they charge $90 for this pot. The salmon in the grilled rice pot is also stink (forgot to take a picture), and I saw they prepared it in the kitchen - the fish was dark brown. $150 for something like this is very disappointing. Christmas is not the reason for bad food. I can vouch for my words here and hope to warn people who would get treated like this.

    The sushi was extremely overpriced. The rice was overcooked (huge red flag) and the fish cutting wasn't right. The decoration tries to be japanese but falls hugely short. Go buy some sushi in the supermarket and save a ton of money.

    I recently dined at a Kappo Miyabi that served an incredible beef sukiyaki. The flavors were outstanding, with tender beef, flavorful vegetables, and a rich broth. The waiter provided excellent service, being polite and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was spectacular, with tasteful decor and a relaxing ambiance. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience that I highly recommend for anyone seeking delicious food, attentive service, and a beautiful atmosphere.

    I visited at an early lunch hour. I went to lunch, but I ordered a Sashimi Combo dinner The price was 75 dollars, and the balance was good. The hot noodles were hot and the tempura was authentic Japanese. The chefs here all seemed to be Japanese. It seems like a great place for someone who wants to experience an original eclipse. be scheduled to visit again

    Love this restaurant! Definitely try the crispy rice with spicy tuna, shishito peppers, salmon avocado roll and pork appetizer. Don’t recommend the wagyu gyoza.

    I order $90 sushi omakase but im kind of disappointed. Although the portion is big with 15 pieces and the fish is thick, I believe the fish quality and selection could be better and then the quantity could be down to 12 pieces. The duck breast is also served a bit cold with salad. We 2 people got there on a Sunday night at around 7pm and were able to have a seat at the bar without waiting.

    The various menus in here are so delicious. And they made me imagine as if I were in Japan. Thanks to the kind server, I ate comfortably. I'll come back again next time to experience other menus.

    Authentic Japanese cuisine. The place was cozy and with nice Japanese decorations. Always consistently good, quality food and large servings. The best most attentive service. Highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to try a new sushi spot.
