$$$$Price: Very Expensive

• Japanese • Santa Monica

Booked 9 times today

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.

Amazing experience! Me and my wife were there last night, had a great time. The dips were awesome , the fish was out of this world, portions were great. SERVICE was kind, friendly and informative , the manager even came out to see that everything is good, we actually had a nice conversation with him as well. On top of that, the alcoholic beverages were out of this world . Definitely coming back to try other things on the menu.

Love the enclosed patio, service was excellent. Craig’s knows how to combine fine dining with a twist of comfort food with their classic Italian options, but they have options for all occasions, vegetarian, seafood, steaks, you name it. Always a pleasure.

Uchi is amazing and lives up to it’s reputation. The food is expensive but it is tasty. I would go back just for their amazing Brussels Sprouts and Coconut Tapoica dessert! Great service and ambience too.
