We expected California to have good options for Japanese food, so we were very excited when we found this place since we were planning to visit Santa Monica. Glad we could come try Japanese-style omusubi (rice balls; different regions may call it “onigiri”). Got Mentaiko (spicy cod roe), Ebi Mayo (shrimp), Spicy Salmon, and Tuna Mayo. All the filling was flavorful and delicious. Server was friendly and helpful explaining about the omusubi. Because there was no indoor seating available, we ordered it to-go, but on second thought, we decided to eat there, finding a few stools outside to put the food on– which was a good choice because the food was fresh and delicious. I heard this kind of place with handcrafted omusubi is popular in Japan so I hope we see more of place like Sunny Blue in the US too.

TRY IT. Ordered the mentaiko, spicy salmon & miso beef omusubi. Favorite was the miso beef but definitely worth trying them allll. So flavorful & fresh. Around a 10 minute wait time on a Sunday. Paid parking in the back

Okay, this may have been one of my favorite food experiences lately! If you like sushi then you should give this a try for sure. The salmon was perfection and the curry was amazing! Such a fun place, will be back if we get the chance.

Soo tasty! My favorites for the Sunny Blue Curry and Miso Beef. They have online ordering which makes it so easy to order for a quick snack on the go especially since there are no seatings in the restaurant

Really delicious, unique fillings for omusubi! Loved the miso beef and the pork curry fillings especially. My only qualm is for ~$5 each they are quite small. We only stopped by for a snack, but I’d need 4 for a meal

Such a quaint shop, everything has cute decorations too. The food is simple, no-frills, but unbeatable quality! Great variety considering that they pretty much just serve omosubi, and i was blown away by every flavor. Don’t walk too fast by this little shop, you don’t want to miss out.
