The best Japanese food in SF you'll ever have! 10/6/2007

My girlfriend and I recently returned from a trip to Japan, and we were looking for a culinary experience that would help take us back. Something beyond the Americanized standards: sushi/sashimi, udon, teriyaki, tempura. And so we found Kappa, who clearly state that they DO NOT serve sushi.

The best japanese food! 2/22/2004

This is simply the best Japanese restaurant in town! Menu is seasonal. If you like traditional Japanese cooking, Kappa definitely is the best you can find! Maybe a little pricy but it worths every penny. more

A tiny, hidden gem 11/25/2003

Kappa is so perfect that I really shouldn't be writing this review and spoiling my chances of getting a seat. A tiny, 10 seat restaurant in an out-of-the-way location, it is for *true* connoisseurs of Japanese cuisine only -- no sushi, no chicken teriyaki, no silly rolls with cream cheese in them, thank god-- you must have a sense of adventure and a genuine love for the complexities and depth of the cuisine. The most authentic classical Japanese cuisine I've eaten outside of Japan. Pros: Amazing food, Delightful hosts, Great sake selection Cons: Not good for groups, Helps to know Japanes more
