Reviews
Best yakitori in town. Compared to shin shen gumi and hondaya. This location has my favorite spicy wings and they do it the best here. Few things I must order: enoki butter, garlic spinach, lobster roll, spicy wings, skewers! Always leave here feeling full and happy. If you come with more than 7-10 people get your 1.5L ask bottle to share Kurosawa (you can ask to save your bottles there with your name). Great place for family night or even date night.
The food here is legit, although the uni isn't the best. The ume skewer is a definite no-no; none of us liked it. On the flip side, the drinks look pretty, but even with alcohol, they taste more like water—don't expect too much. They're more on the juice side. Everything else falls into the okay category—not the best but not the worst either.
Wow - this place was great. Their yakitori selection is plentiful as well as their sushi. We came here because they had both yakitori and noodles. Everything was tasty. Their beef udon noodles was great to contrast the savory yakitoris.
Kappo Honda Sushi offers an extensive menu with diverse options and impressively fast service. The cozy ambiance is perfect for intimate gatherings, but it might be cramped for larger groups. The mini grilled lamb chops are a standout, although the udon tends to be slightly salted. Be prepared for a potential wait, as the restaurant doesn't take reservations.
Kappo Honda in Fountain Valley is one of our favorite authentic Japanese restaurants and sushi bars. From the decor to the waiters and waitresses, you feel as if you could be in Japan. They have an extensive menu that, honestly, can be a little overwhelming but in a good way! Kappo Honda has a unique beer menu where you can order a selection that is often found in Japan to complete your Japan dining experience! The food and service are both excellent and worth having to wait a little longer on some nights and weekends.
I do not have a lot of understanding of Izakaya-style food but I do know that I like eating it. Since Covid, one of our favorite spots closed its shop. We have been looking for a place that could give us a similar kind of dining experience. This place fits perfectly in that frame. Food is good as expected. One star just for the Servers who are very courteous, attentive and make sure that you are well taken care of. They have tried to decorate their interior to closely match with their theme, including how booths are designed. Overall a good experience, you wont be disappointed.
The Atmosphere is unmatched. I always take anyone who comes from out of town here. There's a good variety of food to choose from! Everyone always finds something they like.
Aside from the wait due to how popular the place is, everything is great. Would highly recommend if you can fit a visit into your schedule.
Really enjoyed the food and beer. Got a 2 item dinner box and the fried chicken and beef ponzu was excellent 👌
