Sunny Blue

my favorite omusubi spot!! they have the best cheap eats, taste amazing everytime, and the staff are always very friendly! i usually get the sunnyblue curry and spicy salmon 🙂 highly recommend to check out if you're in the area

First discovered musabi’s in Hawaii and was excited to find this spot in Santa Monica. The shop is small with no seating, but the food is the real draw. Great selection, fresh and flavorful, and perfect for a quick snack. Love the Santa Monica vibe, a fun place to grab a bite before heading to the beach

Made to order omusubi?!? 🤯 We were still a bit hungry after a near by lunch and saw everyone walking around the street with fresh omusubi, so it was decided we had to drop in! This quaint little shop is packing a big punch with made to order omisubi and boba drinks. We had such a hard time deciding which to try, as they all looked good, but landed on the pork belly, spicy tuna, and a boba ice tea. Wow!! The rice was perfectly warm and the seaweed was so fresh and crunchy. The toppings brought in so much flavor as well, making each omusubi unique. You could feel the love. Definitely will be stopping by this location more this summer, as this was the perfect light bite and their tea was hitting just right.

Was passing by and decided to try. It was a Saturday evening, the place was pretty busy. I ordered things I know from other Japanese places - Miso soup, whatever rice thing with beef and with chicken curry. I got miso soup really quick but it was barely warm and very salty so I threw the half of it into the trash. After like 15 mins - because they forgot about my order - I finally got my two rice small balls with fillings. It was like 80% of rice mixed with 20% of the protein - not a balanced ration. Rice was bland, the amount of protein was not enough at all and the taste was not memorable at all. One and done and will never come back

i live around here and just recently discovered this place. it’s quickly become my new favorite! there’s usually a line but they’re quick to get you your order. feels authentic and the food is delicious! only downside is no seating (one bench outside but good luck getting that seat) so we walk down a little further to eat. my only other complaint is that they charge for siracha on the side in a small container. but will be back and recommend others to try this spot

such a cute spot with really good omusubi 🍙🖤. I recommend the Kara Tuna 😋.

Sunny Blue is a casual Japanese restaurant in Santa Monica, California, specializing in OMUSUBI (Japanese rice balls). This restaurant, located just a few streets away from Santa Monica Beach, is always bustling with young Americans. They offer 15 different varieties of OMUSUBI and sides, including Yuzu Pork Belly, Smoked Salmon Roll, and Udon. While they all have a Japanese influence, the quality doesn't quite match authentic Japanese standards. However, the variety of toppings and the convenient style of omusubi seem to be popular in the US as well.
