The miso beef and the chicken curry were very yummy. The special pork belly was disappointing because there wasn’t much meat so it seemed like it was just rice and seaweed only. Over all I really like the street food vibe and look forward to trying more.
The food was great! Very good prices for what you get, especially in LA. Unfortunately the boba was just ok. I wish there was somewhere to sit or even stand inside while eating, but overall I had a good experience!
It is a very popular takeaway restaurant with no seating, so not much atmosphere to speak of.
Had the mushroom omusobi and salmon omusobi—both were good.
Feels like a good snack place.
We expected California to have good options for Japanese food, so we were very excited when we found this place since we were planning to visit Santa Monica. Glad we could come try Japanese-style omusubi (rice balls; different regions may call it "onigiri"). Got Mentaiko (spicy cod roe), Ebi Mayo (shrimp), Spicy Salmon, and Tuna Mayo. All the filling was flavorful and delicious. Server was friendly and helpful explaining about the omusubi. Because there was no indoor seating available, we ordered it to-go, but on second thought, we decided to eat there, finding a few stools outside to put the food on-- which was a good choice because the food was fresh and delicious. I heard this kind of place with handcrafted omusubi is popular in Japan so I hope we see more of place like Sunny Blue in the US too.
This place is absolutely delicious. All of the rice balls are excellent, but the spicy tuna and the salmon are my absolute favorite. I am grateful to have this place right in my neighborhood, whenever I'm at the beach and I crave a gourmet treat. It"s the perfect place to take visiting guests, to surprise them with a delicious delicacy that's so quick and convenient. The line always looks long because everyone loves this place and it's a small space, but the friendly staff is so efficient at moving the line quickly.
i live around here and just recently discovered this place. it’s quickly become my new favorite! there’s usually a line but they’re quick to get you your order. feels authentic and the food is delicious!
only downside is no seating (one bench outside but good luck getting that seat) so we walk down a little further to eat.
my only other complaint is that they charge for siracha on the side in a small container.
but will be back and recommend others to try this spot
Cute small space, no place to sit and eat though. The shrimp, sweet and sour chicken & salmon were very yummy.
Fantastic Omusubi, loved the miso wagyu and tuna mayo. Quick, served with a smile and quality all the wet
A DIVINE FLAVOR POCKET TO GO. Vegan, Non-Vegan, Gluten Free, all of them deliciousss. The service is so quick, the menu is full of delicious options, and the prices are exactly what they need to be. Do yourself a favor and have a stop here.
Okay, this may have been one of my favorite food experiences lately! If you like sushi then you should give this a try for sure. The salmon was perfection and the curry was amazing! Such a fun place, will be back if we get the chance.
