Sunny Blue

Kpop-ing in the area and had bumped into this hidden gem this hole in the wall definitely did NOT DISAPPOINT **ORDERED:~Miso Beef 9/10 Tender and juicy with the comforting taste of miso ~Sunny Blue Curry 9/10 Out of all 3, this one surprised me the most with how much curry flavor there was mixed with the chicken (Disclaiming: I LOVE CURRY so I may be biased) ~Spicy Salmon 7/10 honestly I feel like this was just a normal onigiri and not much going on but regardless it was still better than the ones you'd get at a Japanese supermarket **VIBE:It was a tiny shop with no seating at all but it was very cozy with a warm and comforting atmosphere **PEOPLE:Cashier was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful in terms of recommendations! **OVERALL:I would definitely come again .. if I were in the area as it is really far long drive (esp with traffic) parking wise is a bit hard as well due to street and paid parking

Love me some Sunny Blue! Perfect beach time snack. They serve omusubi, which is Japanese rice balls served in nori. They have different options on the menu as well as seasonal items too. They offer meat, seafood and veggie options for their omusubi. My favorite are the tokyo tori (chicken with sweet and sour sauce) and the spicy salmon. So yummy! Just wish they put a little bit more meat/seafood, instead of so much rice. Other than that, it's still a tasty snack and perfect if you're looking for something to take to the beach. Friendly and quick service with a chill to-go only ambiance. Usually in and out in about 10-15 minutes. Street parking and a couple blocks over from the ocean. There's also plenty of cute shops next door that you can explore.

Tasty food that was fun to eat!My daughter and her boyfriend are regulars here. She introduced me to Sunny Blue this past weekend. It is located in a popular area in Santa Monica on Main Street with several other businesses. There is a public lot behind the restaurant and street parking in front. The eatery is somewhat small but also somewhat busy. Like many others I noticed, we ordered takeout. I was thrilled with how many vegetarian options were available. We ordered several varieties of the Omusubi, Cucumber Sunomono, Udon and the Pork Belly Yuzu. The wait for our food was about 20 minutes. The Omusubi packaging was both adorable and functional. Portion sizes were good. I was full after 3 Omusubis. My favorite was the Lucky Cat Omusubi. The favorite for the meat lovers in our group was the Omusubi with chicken. Least favorite was the udon.Pricing was reasonable.I can't wait to return!

Craving satisfied! Great place to grab a quick bite to eat!! I thoroughly enjoyed this quick spot to grab a bite to eat. We came around 5pm on a Saturday evening. There was a long line, however, they were quick to get the orders out & very attentive. There's not much seating around the restaurant. Now for the food! Curry chicken 10/10: customer favorite! Great flavor! Mayo tuna 6/10: tuna was a bit dryEggplant chili 6/10: honestly, was not a fan of the chili they used, it tasted like "guachugan" Korean chili paste & I am not a fan of it I will definitely visit again & try their different flavors!

Sunny Blue is definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for some delicious and fresh fare! We ordered four of their signature dishes, and each one was super good. The flavors were vibrant and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh - definitely a craving-satisfier!We opted to have our food wrapped to go, and while it was a bit tricky to open them up and keep them intact, it was worth the effort for the tasty rewards inside. The quality of the food more than made up for any minor inconveniences with packaging.The only downside was the long line and the lack of seating inside the store. It's a bit of a hassle if you're planning to eat on-site, but the delicious food makes it all worthwhile.Overall, Sunny Blue delivers fantastic food that's well worth the wait. Highly recommended if you're after something super tasty and fresh!

I love this place! The service is so quick and the omusubi is delish. So many fun flavors to choose from. Can grab and take to go or eat fresh- but no indoor seating. Very filling, I usually get 2 and am stuffed after.

Love the friendly staff here. Was my first time here and they made some solid recommendations. I got the miso beef and spicy salmon in a bento box as it comes with edamame, pickled cucumbers as solid sides to pair with to Omusubi. The place doesn't offer seating but definitely enjoyable on the go outside for the vibes. Definitely eat it fresh on the spot, but if you prefer take out then it'll come wrapped up to prevent the seaweed from becoming soggy.

Today, my friends and I went on a little journey to Santa Monica and decided to give Sunny Blue a try!!me and onigiri are like this I LOVEE onigiri I've been craving it for a few weeks now, so I was so glad we got the chance to stop by. The Sunny Blue in Santa monica is located in a cute little area with lots of restraunts and spots to hang around! I would recommend ordering to go because it gets pretty busy, especially during the evening. The interior of the restraunt was so cute, I didn't get a pic of the menu, but for each onigiri they had a little graphic drawn on the side, it was literally the most adorable thing ever:((. My friends and I took our order to go to eat at the beach. While the onigiris were not bad, I was a little disappointed because I had definitely had better before. The rice was a bit too mushy, and for one of my onigiris, I barely had any filling, which was literally so sad. Also, I had ordered a kitsune udon and for the price it was not exactly worth it. I paid $8 and the portion was TINY and it just tasted like udon with miso soup. Perhaps maybe the onigiri and the udon didn't hit as hard because I didn't eat it right away when it was warm, but either way it was still disappointing:((3 onigiris is a good amount for a meal!

Onigiri was made fresh on the spot and super yummy! Staff was very friendly and told us their recommendations! We got miso beef and curry , beef was very tender and curry very flavorful ~

Worth trying. No seating so be prepared for take out or eating on the street. We tried the salmon, ginger pork curry and the chicken curry. The curry's were very flavorful.
