Kappo Miyabi

Very good portions and fresh fish! Highly recommend.

Authentic and high quality Japanese restaurant with Sushi, Yakitori grill, and noodle soup dishes. Team is Japanese. I had lunch sushi omakase.

Cool fancy place in Santa Monica. Service was good. Food was meh....

The food is very delicious. The service is also excellent

We happened upon this place while exploring Santa Monica beach and being turned away from the neighboring Gyu Kaku (told that there would be a 2-hour wait for 6 people). We called the restaurant and asked if we could be seated sooner and were told to come right over. It was probably a 5 minute walk from the 3rd street promenade. We were instantly seated upon arrival in a cozy part of the restaurant. The server was very friendly and took great care of us. We ordered the uni box, but they said because uni is so difficult to get nowadays, they substitute it with tuna. Okay fine, but maybe you need to revamp your menu because you should not serve a dish that literally says uni in it and not serve uni with it. That was my only dislike with this restaurant and why I am deducting 1 star from my review. The "uni" box dish was still very good nonetheless. We also got the fatty tuna roll and a couple of skewers (steak and pork). The food here is excellent and the fish tastes really fresh, as it should being they are 3 blocks away from the ocean. The price is on the higher end for me though, but to be expected because of their location.

I didn't expect this authentic izakaya near Santa Monica but Kappo Miyabi delivers!! The variety of Japanese food provided here makes it the perfect spot for group dinner. The sashimi/sushi was great quality for its price, although the yakitori/skewers are not as impressive but still enjoyable especially the chicken skin skewer.

Of all the sushi places close to the promenade Kappo definitely is not only worth the price but has a great variety of everything for whatever mood you are in.
