Japanese
Kappo (かっぽう / 割烹) means cooking food with knives and fire. In simple Japanese terms, means cutting, chopping and cooking food with knife, and so on. And means boiling, cooking food with fire. So the combination of these two Japanese characters are a different expression of cooking with a knife and fire. Kappo is a dish that is improvised by the customer's order and can be enjoyed at the counter or at the table just in front of the kitchen without much formality. From now on, Kappo will be held in Miyabi restaurant, Santa Monica. Miyabi (雅) is one of the traditional Japanese aesthetic ideals, meaning "elegance," "graceful" and "courtliness". There are a lot of complexities of Japanese cuisine, including not only food, but also visitors, music, and order of food. So, there is a burden because of the needlessly cumbersome, expensive, and unnecessary formalities, and we focus on foods that are only used to show off the cooking skills of the chefs and customers.

    Made reservations for bar seating. Wish I knew they did not pass food over the bar. Would have rather sat in the main dining because of this. Sushi chefs were not sociable at all.

    Went to Kappo Miyabi for their DineLA dinner. Everything was so good and fresh. The portion was more than enough and the sushi was spectacular. It was a great ambiance for our group and everyone enjoyed the dinner. Will definitely come back!!

    The food at Kappo Miyabi is excellent - very authentic Japanese food. I always get the unagi in the crispy rice claypot and it's delicious. Our guests enjoyed it too. The prices are a bit high but it's good for a special night out.

    This extraordinary restaurant is LA's best kept secret! No, California's best! And I've lived in Japan. We've been going nearly every week for years because we can't seem to find another restaurant that comes close to their exceptional standard. Every dish on their extensive menu is DELICIOUS!!!! We dream about their sea bass croquets, their Wagyu dumplings, and the marinated pork butakaku. Their sushi and sashimi tastes as fresh as if it were caught the same day. Their miso eggplant, spicy tuna, popcorn shrimp roll and crispy rice with A5 Wagyu which are super too. Kappa Miyabi has everything the top Japanese restaurants have on their menu, but they prepare their dishes even better! They also have loads of other treasures and treats you'll never forget. And their staff wrote the book on outstanding customer service! We absolutely adore Narae. She, and the rest of the staff treat us like family and we feel like we've hit the lottery every time we visit!

    I love Kappo Miyabi. So much. So I was heartbroken it was not nearly as good as its been. The salmon was clearly pre sliced. The gyoza was greasy. The wagyu nigiri overcooked. Its usually my favorite. Now hard to imagine returning. Truly sad

    Very expensive. No issues with food quality, but sushi is by the piece not 2 pieces like we typically see at other restaurants. It isn’t anything better than what I’ve had elsewhere and I felt like the ambiance didn’t match the cost. Tables have iPads to order and it felt more casual, yet upscale pricing.

    The $25 lunch DineLA is a steal. The portion is adequate with 10 pcs of sushi. It looks little I thought, but I was full after finishing Parking is on the street meter. I found okay parking because I showed up for Monday lunch Prices of Omakase is fairly expensive if wasn't for DineLA. I wouldn't show up for no DineLA

    Attracted to try the restaurant by the Dine LA menu and pricing. Everything was excellent from food to service and friendliness of staff. The fish was super fresh and delicious as were all the side dishes. There was an abundance of food making for overall good value.
