Kappa Japanese Restaurant

Overall, the food was quite fresh, but the prices were on the higher side. For this price point, the flavors weren’t particularly outstanding. Personally, I found the tempura to be the most enjoyable dish.

Quaint family run Japanese restaurant. Enjoyed our dinner the traditional way in a tatami room. Service was awesome and the food was delicious.

Really good food. Atmosphere was amazing. Service was good. Definitely would come back.

What a hidden gem! This family-owned Japanese restaurant in White Rock has been serving authentic cuisine for 40 years, and you can feel the history the moment you step inside. The atmosphere is incredible—dining in traditional tatami rooms inside a century-old building makes for a truly immersive experience. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with every dish showcasing authentic Japanese craftsmanship. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming, making you feel like a cherished guest. If you’re looking for a truly special dining experience, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

You might find it longer waiting time for your food, but this is totally worthy it. Be patient and enjoy your meal.

When we ordered our food, I had just begun my first year at university. When we got our food, I just received my bachelor. The food was very average.

The sushi was very good, but the timing of the dishes could be better. The service on the other hand was nice since they came check in on us every once in a while.

Little family owned restaurant in White Rock. Only opened 3 days/week. Definitely need reservations. Delicious food. Everyone of the dishes we ordered was so good. The sushi and sashimi was very fresh. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely come here again.

Best sushi in white rock.

Best sushi in white rock hands down!

Family style Japanese restaurant which reminded me the small bistros in Japan when we travelled there. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, if you are looking for something fancy, you can pass it, but if you like authentic family style food, it’s the right spot.
The sashimi is very fresh, the teriyaki series are well seasoned and served hot. The service is superb, all staff are kind and considerable. Will definitely come back again
