" From start to finish, Kappo DC provided a dining experience like no other! Not only was the wagyu cooked to perfection, but every element of the meal was meticulously crafted. The cocktails paired wonderfully with the dishes, elevating the entire meal. The intimate setting and the ability to watch the chefs at work made it all the more special. A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible blend of flavors and textures! Each dish was a beautiful representation of Japanese cuisine. We opted for the caviar and uni addition and it definitely added an extra layer of richness, though I do wish the portions had been a little larger for the price we paid. The service staff was friendly, even explaining each course in detail, which made the meal feel more personal. I would recommend to anyone seeking a unique dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" A true gem in DC! Kappo offers incredibly fresh ingredients, and the chef's passion really shines through each carefully crafted dish. The wagyu was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. I appreciated the explanations throughout the meal. The intimate setting complemented the outstanding flavors, but I did feel the portions could be a tad bigger. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kappo was an incredible experience for dinner! The ambiance was romantic, and the staff made us feel truly special. The noodles were notable, as was the traditional sashimi. Although everything was very enjoyable, considering the price I left feeling a bit underwhelmed since some dishes felt a little basic. However, I would still encourage someone to visit for the unique experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Kappo was amazing! We chose the full tasting menu, and didn't regret a single bite. The creativity and skill of the chef was evident in every dish. The service staff were incredibly patient and knowledgeable. Only downside was the price; it is a bit steep, but you do get what you pay for. Recommend it for anyone looking for a true culinary delight. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a marvelous experience at Kappo! Every aspect of our meal—from the drinks to the dessert—was absolutely sublime. The chef's attention to detail is unmatched. What really stood out for me were the vibrant flavors of each dish and the skillful combinations of textures. However, I would suggest they expand portion sizes for the price they charge. All in all, I would definitely come back and bring friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance set the stage for a delightful evening! Each dish was presented beautifully, and you could taste the high quality of the ingredients. The service was attentive, though at times I felt rushed between courses. The umami flavors were wonderful, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the dessert. Still, I would recommend Kappo for anyone looking to experience fine Japanese dining! " (*Curated Review*)
