Kappo Makoto Washington Reviews
My wife treated me to a wagyu tasting at Kappo for my
My wife treated me to a wagyu tasting at Kappo for my birthday, and I'm glad I finally got to experience it. From the outside, the space looks modern and unassuming, but walking in felt almost like being transported into another world--reminisce
Best meal of my life.
Went with my husband and parents for my birthday in June and it was amazing. The waiter was so kind and informative. The menu and all of the food was to die for. We got the sake pairing and it was amazing. We also did the caviar add on which was insa

Had the privilege of experiencing the omakase experience for my birthday and it was a birthday I'll never forget!

I've been here during the winter time and the experience is relaxing. I'd say that the wagyu and the uni is delicious, but it isn't anything that you can't find in high end restaurants. Service there is really attentive and nice,
The restaurant is serene and cozy.
The attention by both servers and chefs are second to none, especially if you choose bar seating. I highly recommend sitting at the bar for your experience. The menu was delicious and full of unique and beautifully executed traditional flavor combin

This is an odd review for me, because overall I was disappointed in my meal. However, this is purely an issue of personal preferences and not a reflection on Kappo. I've been to Japan and if you don't like seafood and subtly seasoned food y

Wagyu.
... Wagyu.... And more Wagyu!!! This place is Wagyu central for DC! You won't find a place that serves Wagyu in so many different ways than Kappo does!!! It's truly an amazing experience eating at Kappo. They combine delicious food, a per

Exceptional dining experience! The food, presentation and service were all extremely well executed. My wife and I got the Wagyu tasting menu with Uni upgrade. Each dish was centered around the Wagyu but felt unique and had its own harmonious blend

This was my first Japanese Wagyu experience and I was NOT disappointed. Allow me to start by saying "AMERICAN's DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT STEAK." This place is the perfect opportunity to experience and explore Japanese culinary s
Nice restaurant
Requires booking but this was worth going through the painful process of booking. Our hotel concierge recommended this restaurant and even went far as to book the restaurant for us!
Must try if u are around the area but do reserve in advance to avoid disappointment!
We stayed at Hotel Great Morning and the staff recommended this restaurant which is about 3 mins walk. Went on a Wednesday night and it was fully booked for the week. Was told to try lunch and so we went the next day at 11.10 am to queue. Restaurant
Really wanted to like this place.
Took my husband there for his first Father's Day celebration. If you're a true foodie and know what Wagyu tastes like, then you'll be very disappointed as we were. I think out of all the courses, the only Wagyu that was acceptable as a true Wagyu
The course menu followed the Japanese Kappou Style order
The course menu followed the Japanese Kappou Style order and was primarily based on Wagyu beef. They mentioned that the beef was sourced from Miyazaki. The fatty tuna, referred to as ootoro, appeared too red to be authentic ootoro. The rice used for

I dined at Kappo for my significant other's birthday this past weekend. For a $500 price tag for food and drinks for two, I found the food to be underwhelming. I left the restaurant still feeling hungry, and I've had better tasting wagyu dishes at ot

Just wow! My first Wagyu experience and it will never be forgotten. I organized this for a special occasion, so the fact that this was a very expensive dinner was not an issue, but make no mistake about it, this is an expensive dinner. I loved how s

Expensive but a great experience and ends up being a decent amount of food. Perfect for a special occasion.
Delicious food, great service and experience.
Intimate and cozy ambiance with only 21 seats available at a time. Worth the price.

Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly for this restaurant: The ugly: nothing really. The bad: I've had better wagyu in other restaurants especially in NY. Here, the beef was fresh but other restaurants were able to season it better with differe

Delicious from start to finish! It was tucked away, but once you find the entrance, the service is impeccable. It had a nice, private type of ambiance. Each course was so tasty. We got the Sake to accompany the courses, which worked really well. A ti
Good service but the ingredients and quality are definitely
Good service but the ingredients and quality are definitely not worth the money you paid for. The dessert was plain ice with no decoration. This place is very much overpriced and overrated.
Kappo is absolutely amazing for a special dinner.
We celebrated my fiancés 30th birthday here and everything was divine. The dishes were so unique and flavorful. It wasn't just a dinner it was an experience. The whole thing takes about two hours. Our server was so attentive and was there for anyth
My goodness.
..I am pretty sure Kappo DC is the closest thing to heaven on earth. Upon arriving, you are greeted with a conspicuous entrance, light brown wooden door, and a gold plaque with "Kappo Makoto" carved into it. It gave off a very exclusive a
Sunday evening wagyu Omakase.
The courses were all excellent, and the service was prompt and delightful. Lacks the pretension of peer competitors. The servers were especially warm and down to earth. I'd recommend Kappo.
Small reastaurant.
Street parking. Servcie was exceptional. 8-course wagyu experience startint at $150. The food was spectacular, but when all things are said and done, it ends up being $250 per person, including drinks and tips. I was glad to be able to enjoy this amo

Was able to try this omakase out again for a revamped menu plus added uni and caviar to the dishes, which was only for a few of the dishes but definitely added some great flavour to the wagyu dishes! My favourite part was probably at the end with the
A wonderful dining experience.
Pre fixe 8 course menu full of flavor and texture. The servers were very attentive to our needs and the chef was wonderful. A great choice for an intimate night.
Delightful, unique omasake experience.
Ogawa is a genius and a true culinary artist. Each dish was very well thought out and had its own personality. So much fun! We didn't want this experience to end. The restaurant was intimate, high end yet cozy. We look forward to returning to try th

Outstanding experience! Such an incredible meal.
Every detail was perfection! Wagyu tasting was incredible! Expertly prepared, delicious, and beautifully presented. Started with a terrific cocktail and enjoyed a curated wine list. Each dish was a treasure. Service was attentive but not intrusive.

We were really looking forward to dinner tonight at Kappo.
We had been there many years ago when it was known as Makoto and we had a fantastic experience then. Unfortunately that experience was not to be relived. We had a 6:30 seating and the ambience started out fantastic. Small, intimate, and cozy location
Street parking all around DC, mainly 2 hour parking signs.
If the restaurant is on your right, there's additional street 2 hour parking making the 1st right past the gas station. Walking in, you're immediately greeted. They take your coat and hang it up for you and are escorted to your table. We booked the

I visited this restaurant for lunch on Dec 4, Monday. When I arrived at 11:10, there were about 10 people waiting in front of the door, but the number of the people in a line became 30 when it turned 11:30. Their operations were very efficient, and I

Unlike sushi Nakazawa you'll leave here wanting nothing more! Attentive staff and extra talented sushi chefs (Mr Ogawa + team), nothing left to desire. New favorite sushi spot for an authentic, yet muted charismatic experience. P.S., easy to walk pas

I am struggling to do this review for purely selfish reasons - if it gets too popular it will be harder for me to get in to this 21-seat gem! Food is absolutely incredible and sake menu is unparalleled. We had such an amazing experience, start to fin

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kappo Makoto Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kappo Makoto Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Kappo Makoto Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kappo Makoto Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
