6 Best Sushi Bars near Carmel Valley

“My husband & I arrived at opening and were greeted and seated right away. Customer service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I both ordered Lunch Box specials and shared a J's Maki roll. Food was fresh and our server was attentive, checking in on us every little while to make sure everything was okay. Mika Sushi is definitely a gem in Carmel Valley Village and we'll definitely be back again.“

“Great food! Coming from Texas, I've never had the chance to go to halal Japanese restaurant before, and this place did not disappoint. The yakisoba noodles were delicious, and the beef in both them and the hibachi we ordered was flavorful and not too tough. My favorite item was the American Dream Roll, which is a deep fried eel sushi roll. I thought both the texture and flavor of it was superb, and the Rainbow Roll was good too. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good Japanese place, and especially to Muslims that might not have had the chance to have Japanese food outside of sushi before!“

“today an amazing couple paid for our tab. We are a family of 6 trust when I say our bill was not cheap. Thank you so much and may God bless. The service is always great, the food is always on point.“

“Went here after work with some colleagues. The food and service were excellent. The selection between classic and specialty rolls didn't leave anything out - plenty of raw, baked and tempura rolls. Next time I visit Monterey I will stop here for lunch or dinner! The owners were also very kind and enthusiastic about their food and very welcoming. Great experience“

“Harumi is one of my favorite sushi spots in the area. The fish is always very fresh, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The portions are also very generous, so you definitely get a great value.
The White Dragon Roll is light, elegant, and beautifully presented. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the fish tastes incredibly fresh.
The Agedashi Tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served in a delicious savory broth that’s very comforting.
The Spicy Pork, Beef teriyaki and sushi Bento Box is a great choice if you’re hungry. The portion is big and comes with a nice variety of sides. The pork has a great spicy flavor and is very satisfying.
And don’t miss the Banana Tempura with Ice Cream. The warm crispy banana with cold ice cream is the perfect sweet ending.
Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“I stopped in for lunch and found the lunch pricing to be very reasonable, which the food quality may reflect to some extent. The salmon sashimi closely resembled the salmon used in the salad; given that, the salad is the safer choice. The sashimi was irregularly cut, though the fish itself was of decent quality.

The katsu was unconventional and not something I would recommend. That said, other menu items were respectable, so I’d give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt overall.

Note: Parking is unclear—using the auto body shop parking lot next door appears to be the practical option.“
