50 Best Sushi Bars near Monrovia

“Great food and great service!“

“Fresh and delicious! Great local spot!“

“Just goggled and found. Good parking yummy food good choices. Abd large servings“

“Food was delicious and healthy.
We travel nearly an hour just to eat here. Service (counter girl) could have a little more friendly and have patience with ppl that are not familiar with their menu.
But the food is excellent.“

“Oto-Oto is exceptional in every way. The food is fantastic and considering the quality, reasonably priced. The presentation of the food is beautiful without being over the top. The staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and timely without being intrusive. The chefs are professional trained sushi chefs. The atmosphere is lovely, warm, and interesting-- note the giant bonsho (bell) hanging from the cool, high open ceiling and the display of bottles at the bar for example. It is quiet so you can hear yourselves talk. It stays busy without ever feeling cramped or rushed. If you look at the clientele, you will know it is a top-notch place because they are locals and people who keep coming back time and time again -- the staff recognizes and remembers them and there are warm exchanges between them.We often get take-out and one night I sat and just observed the interplay of staff -- it was like watching a beautiful dance as they wove in and out -- making drinks, taking orders, delivering food, and the chefs with hands flying as they made dish after dish and without breaking stride, they smiled through it all - it was better than watching most of what is on television. We love Oto-Oto in every way and highly recommend it.

Parking: Big lot“

“Shinkai sits low key in this multi-use complex within the heart of downtown Alhambra. We visited during their soft opening yesterday and tried out their omakase which was fresh, plentiful and delicious. Chef Alan and Dedy did a great job at the presentation on the following dishes. 1. Okinawa seaweed shooter with yamaimo and ikura 2. Jellyfish with kizami wasabi and 2 hr slow cooked abalone 3. Kumamoto oysters with green onion and ikura/uni 4. Shima aji, Chu toro and otoro 5. Sea Bream and golden eye snapper 6. Toro tartare with uni, ikura, truffle and avocado 7. Santa Barbara uni with black caviar and ikura 8. Japanese kegani 9. Black cod over mashed yam and drizzled with yuzu miso 10. Hokkaido scallop with Hokkaido uni and black caviar 11. Wagyu sushi We look forward to visiting again as they refine their processes and dishes during their soft opening. It's definitely nice to have a local sushi spot in SGV rather than having to head to LA or further for an omakase sushi dinner.“

“Good restaurant, food and staff... really nice people and worth making a visit.“

“The building and location are a little sketchy, but everything else is excellent. Small, very intimate atmosphere. Not much privacy. Menu options are simple. Food is fresh and worth the price. Even the sides, like house salad, miso soup, and hot sake, are quality.“

“Came here with high hopes and was not disappointed. Had to ask for the omakase since it was not on the menu. There's the 100$ level and the boss level for 150$. I honestly dont know what the difference was even though the very nice wait staff tried to explain it to me. It was just a bunch of japanese words lol. Anyhow I went yolo and got the boss level and it was the best 150 i spent that day. Every dish was mostly perfect except for the dessert. They need to up their dessert game.“

“I came into Yuki Sushi in the Sheraton wanting Lychee Martini’s for a group of friends. Sean- the bartender- went to the hotel pantry and Googled a recipe to make us a round of Lychee Martini’s that were not on the menu. I applaud this outstanding customer service, and Sean for his initiative and time to do this for us. I am so impressed by the service at this hotel and we thank you Sean!!“

“The workers are all so kind! Especially the woman with the bob. She was very beautiful on the inside and out. You can tell she wanted you to just have a good time eating there. My friends and I came and she was so sweet to all of us. Thank you for being sweet to us and letting us have a good time. :)“

“4.5 ⭐️s for overall experience! My friend, her kids, and I enjoyed our meal in mostly every way - flavors, service, and cleanliness. The house salad was healthy (not just iceberg lettuce) and had a generous portion for one person. My friend said it was super delicious - Sunset roll, blue crab roll, and miso black cod were on point flavor wise. Only negatives were that the seaweed was a bit chewy (not super tough though) and the soup slightly salty. The staff was kind, friendly, attentive, and patient - hard to come by these days. Prices are reasonable and I plan to come back. Parking is tougher at times in this plaza, but at some point, you'll find a spot.“

“Best sushi in LA! Everything melted in your mouth! The fish is fresh, the price is affordable, and the service is great! It looks like a hole in the wall - but wow :)) We eat there once a week and love it! Drove all the way from Studio City to have dinner there - 2 hours each way in traffic - so that's obviously what it says :)) Haha Just love it!“

“If you love Fresh fish at a good price look no further. The Sashimi is amazing and great portions. They have fresh Real WASABI available which take the fish to a whole new level. Sometimes they have toro which is my favorite. Remember that they do allow reservations and they are very very busy, which is what you want!

Kid-friendliness: They allow and welcome kids!“

“Been going to this restaurant for at least 10 years. It’s a small place and always busy. The food has never disappointed me. The lunch special is reasonably priced and they have this great deal on party trays. For $95 I think we got about 8-10 sushi rolls, I forgot the exact count. Service is great.“

“The service was professional and great. The staff are very friendly. Covid protocols are adhered to at the door. Temperature checks are required prior to entering the dining area. The food is excellent. If you love sashimi and sushi then you must visit.“

“Excellent service fresh always“

“Excellent food ..friendly staff.. clean restaurant“

“Tozai Foods Market is where we go to buy authentic Japanese food and supplies to make certain Japanese dishes. They have a cooked food section that has bento boxes for a quick tasty meal and fresh sushi and sashimi. We also can order sushi platters for special occasions. Amazing service too!“

“Once a year, I’m in town just down the street for a convention. A couple of years ago I found this place and I always… Always come back when I’m nearby. Quality of food, service, and atmosphere is second to none. The lunch specials are reasonably priced, and the hand rolls are super and perfectly made. I highly recommend this small gem!

Insider tip…
Don’t bother trying to park on the street, there is free parking behind the building.

Parking: There’s a large parking lot behind the row of buildings.“

“I love it and now it's not open. Does anyone know what happened? Sucks big time“

“I really enjoyed my meal here. Sushi was really delicious. I highly recommend this plate. Super great. I will come back again here for sure. The jasmine peach green tea is just perfect. I was really satisfied. There was enough tables available to eat and dine in. There is plenty of parking to park your car too.“

“I went here with my mans and it was 10/10. the food was fresh, down the wasabi and ginger omg. my favorite spot forever ?? the waiters are so incredibly nice and overall the experience was just great. they totally care about their restaurant, clean and they even take time to put freshly cut flowers on the tables. “

“Quality seafood and sushi. Everything we had was excellent down to the sake choices!“

“Japanese food for take-out only. It is best to call to order ahead and pick up by the arranged time.Need to be patient as it's run by literally one-person for everything. Food tastes great, and prices are reasonable. I'm happy to support this local business and can totally appreciate the owner's grind and perseverance.Check out the new expanded menu, including new lunch deals ?“

“I can't say enough good things about this place! The staff is always super friendly, attentive and kind! Food never fails to be delicious and fresh! I love the Lychee Martini and if you have the pleasure of having Hara as your server, you are in excellent hands! We love coming here for all our special moments!

We tend to order all kinds of sashimi, udon, miso waygu, rolls and some baked rolls. It's never disappointing!“

“You can’t go wrong at SUGARFISH. It’s always a pleasant dining experience whether you dine in or take out. Customer service is excellent. I highly recommend the Nozawa Trust Me and the “Don’t Think, Just Eat.”

“This was my first visit and I wasn't disappointed! The all you can eat option was excellent ?, my cousins and I had four rounds until we had satisfied our appetites! I liked how they updated the restaurant from the previous occupants! I definitely will recommend and be back!“

“I ordered food to go and I loved that there was no wait. They prepared my food quite rapidly. I was greeted with a smile upon entry and offered a menu. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and two salmon hand rolls. The quality of the food is really nice (fresh) and the price is right, especially the quantity. This has become my new go to sushi place in the SGV.

Parking: Plenty of street parking.“

“We had a great meal here. Much more chill than Aikan and we liked the options better because we don't need all you can eat. We had a mix of tuna, salmon, California rolls, as well as avocado, cucumber, vegetable and even a teriyaki chicken roll. We each enjoyed what we got.“

“The Service is Excellent. Nice little Gem. The Nicest Waiters giving this cozy place a Wonderful Experience. An excellent Chef.... hats off to the Chef...Excellent!
A must place to try.

Parking: You can park anywhere.

Kid-friendliness: Young ones Welcomed.

“Cheapest best sushi I've ever had. Also an amazingly packed Japanese Market with about a zillion kinds of sake. Apparently best known for their Sushi platters which have to be ordered the day before and are cheap I am sure are great. Very small store very busy“

“Still great since they moved next to 99 Ranch. Same big slices of sashimi in the classic bento. Same fresh shredded daikon (love it- I eat every shred). Same little side dishes (ocean salad. Salad, ginger, and a little Hi- chew candy). Keep it up guys!“

“Kopan is my go-to place for sushi. I generally go for date night or sometimes by myself because the intimate ambience really lends itself to a quiet night of Japanese dining. The nigiri quality is superb and pairs well with a nice warm bowl of miso soup. The service has been on point, and it's clear that they try to take care of their customers. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.“

“Very good service and good food!!“

“Neighborhood’s Japanese Restaurant with good Value !“

“Clean and modern. Sushi bar.“

“My first time experience here on Friday was pleasant. This establishment was clean from the restroom to the table. The staff was friendly and eager to make you comfortable which was great considering it was 109 degrees heatwave outside. The chef did a good job with the flavor & presentation of my order. I’ll definitely be back when in the neighborhood again.“

“Give it a 5 1-5 great customer services great food“

“I used to work here during covid; no customers came by because of covid, but now I don't feel welcomed here so I won't be stopping by, but I hope them all the best. I wish they would have let me work when they were busy though and listened to me(I'm like a brilliant genius compared to everybody else in socal)as I met the princess of Japan and was mentally unsound for her visit so I had to excuse myself from her presence.(Which i know i had no right to do). Every time I think of Kako my heart breaks.?“

“We had an early family dinner tonight at Shinano. Combination dinner set w/ 2 items (chicken and tempura) a Salmon Lava Roll, Salmon Lemon roll and Miso Eggplant. Everything was good. Food tasted great. Service was quick and the server checked on us multiple times.

Parking: Accessible ramp and walkway to the restaurant.“
