" The Kappo experience was unique but pricey. The ambiance made for a lovely atmosphere, and the staff were friendly. However, the food didn't match the high expectations based on the price point. Diverse flavors, but not all dishes clicked for us. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Would likely try again given the positive vibes from other patrons. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! Kappo is not only intimate and charming, but the food is exceptional. We experienced a beautiful tasting menu that was perfectly paced. The wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth, and each course that followed kept the excitement up. Definitely recommend the counter seating to get the full experience. Will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What has become an anticipated evening at Kappo met every expectation! The exquisite plating of their dishes—perfectly cooked wagyu beef—was complemented by the hospitality of the staff. Everything was fresh and delightful. A little pricey, but we were satisfied enough by the experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful culinary journey! Kappo provides a beautiful balance of flavors and pristine presentation. The wagyu was phenomenal; it melted in my mouth. My only wish was for larger portion servings considering the price. Exceptional service made for an unforgettable evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried out Kappo recently, and while it was great to experience, it wasn’t exactly a bargain. The service was fantastic, but I expected more exciting flavor combinations. Everything was well-executed, but I wasn't blown away by most courses. Enjoyed some dishes, especially the sashimi, but wouldn't rush back for a second visit. A solid experience nonetheless! " (*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*)
