Kappa Japanese Restaurant - White Rock

Most excellent restaurant If you want to try Japanese food from a chef with 40 years experience this is the place to come We highly recommend the teriyaki And the prices are so fair 5 stars !!

While the ambiance is unique, it does look a bit dated. This place also seems to have quite limited open hours. I was more concerned about what appeared to be many disoriented staff in the restaurant up the stairs from the entry, but nobody was welcoming or acknowledging me, until I waited and eventually had to walk up the stairs deeper into the restaurant myself. It was strange to see a sign stating some problem not being able to get anagi (sea eel) from Japan, so they are now serving unagi (fresh water eel) instead. It wasn 't clear if they were serving Japanese unagi or one of the cheaper varieties from other countries. Strange as I had just had Anagi in two other food restaurants in the last few days. I assume it was just a cost savings play. After I was finally acknowledged by what seemed to be confused staff, I asked if they served a white meat version of their chicken teriyaki. The answer was no and they only served mixed meat which I assume is heavy on the dark meat. Nothing was impressing me about the restaurant and everything I observed was screaming cheap products to maximize profits. Nothing impressed me in this restaurant and luckily I just left. I wonder if previous owners sold this place as older Yelp reviews seemed to indicate it may be better. This just appears to be another crappy unprofessional restaurant trying to make money but not doing things in a quality manner. Not interested in yet another mediocre restaurant not living up to traditional standards.

Have been coming here for years and always delicious food, great atmosphere and amazing service. I love how each party has their own privacy and the place is never loud and obnoxious no matter how busy they are, and trust me sometimes they are BUSY! Always a good idea to call ahead and check if you'll need a reservation to ensure a table. A family favorite for us and as I said has been that way for years now. I highly recommend.

Best authentic Japanese in Whiterock/South Surrey. I'm a bit of a sushi snob after having lived in Tokyo for a couple of years. Lol. This little gem has been around for about 40 years and is located in a big old house (nothing fancy but looks aren't everything! and designed with traditional tatami rooms. There are only about 8 rooms? total so it's limited seating but they offer take out too (take out only during COVID best to visit their website for more hours and info. The service is good and the woman who owns it, is the sweetest and always smiling and friendly.

From outside, looks like just a house, but inside, super unique! Once you get in, you will be directed to one of the several private rooms for seating. You'll take your shoes off before you get in a room. No worry, you don't have to sit on a floor, there is a hole below the table so you are like sitting on a chair. Food, oh boy, very fresh and delicious with reasonable price!! Servers are friendly. Everything was impressive! We had Gyoza (3 Prawns and 2 Scallops mixed), Sockeye Salmon, Aburi Toro, Mackerel (Saba), Mango roll, Beach roll, and White Rock roll. 外からは普通の家に見えるのですが、中に入ると、とっても素敵。２階に個室がいくつかあり、その一室に案内されます。靴を脱ぎ、部屋に入ると掘りごたつ式テーブルが。ウエイトレスの方もいい感じの方で、雰囲気も素敵。あぶりトロ、さば、サーモン、マンゴロール、ビーチロール、ホワイトロックロールに、餃子（エビ３つ、貝柱２つ）を食べましたが、どれもとっても美味しかったです。ロールは10ドルから13ドル、にぎりは2.25から、餃子は9ドル。今はアメリカドルが強いので、とってもお安く感じました。
