This used to be my go to sushi spot in Monrovia until I saw roaches on the wall in the back of the restaurant.
First time, I just let it go. But the very next week, I saw them once again and discreetly let the owner know.
He basically brushed me off and was acting extremely awkward about it.
Perhaps the reason why restaurant is poorly lit to hide all the little critters roaming free.
Roaches can carry diseases folks. I am not taking chances with my health here

Really awesome local joint! I usually get their nigiri sets but last night just got a few simple rolls - super fresh ingredients and great quality fish. Very friendly service as well!

Amazing quality seafood. Uni was heavenly.Food was 10/10, but the service was a bit slow, with both the wait staff and the sushi chef being quite slow for such a small shop. Not a problem, usually, but we were just really hungry. Service was 8/10.The biggest downside is parking sucks in this part of town and the restaurant itself is TINY. I had to eat left-handed since I was stuck in the corner.Our tab was close to $600 for 5 people and 2 bottles of delicious Sake. No regrets, I would definitely go again, but it was quite expensive and I would probably lean more towards going to sugarfish for my sushi needs. This is more of a special occasion place.
Parking: On a Saturday night, we were lucky to find a spot in the lot. I recommend getting here before any of your reservations, or better yet, just Uber.

Not the same as I remember, my salmon was overcooked, not coming back.
Great place! Reminded me of places in Japan. Ordered the omakase for $120 fresh fish and cold Asahi beer on draft what else could you ask for.

$120 plus tax and tips Omakase took more than 2 hours to finish. Only gave probably 6 pieces nigiri sushi in the omakase. By the time we finished, we were still quite hungry. Service was super slow and food overpriced. Do not recommend and will never return.
I have never had such bad high-end Japanese food! We ordered the most premium set meal and it took us two hours to eat. The food was served very slowly, the portion of the set meal was very small, and the soup was cold! The three of us ate for $353 and were not full at all. We even ate canned corn when we got home! I feel like I’ve been cheated out of my money! Really bad!
