Elegant, cozy sushi spot in Old Town Monrovia. All our rolls were super fresh and light, and they had some unique, authentic dishes that you don’t find at the other sushi spots in town like Chawanmushi (Japanese egg custard) and Agedashi tofu.
For our sushi rolls we tried the Lime Roll and Salmon Truffle Roll. The Salmon Truffle Roll is exactly as it sounds - crab on the inside with salmon and truffle on top. I don’t usually like salmon sushi rolls anywhere but this was a pleasant exception. The Lime Roll has spicy tuna and crab inside topped with albacore and yuzu miso. It was my fave - very light and refreshing. And all their fish was super fresh!
We had their miso soup to start which was good - what you’d expect from a quality sushi spot. The Agedashi tofu was fantastic!! It was lightly fried with a delicate texture and came in a deliciously umami sauce - highly recommend!
The Chawanmushi was very unique - it’s a small cup of Japanese egg custard - it’s savory with a fish-forward profile and served slightly warm. I’m not a fan of strong fish flavors and this was too much for me (I was actually expecting a sweet custard desert haha!) - but my hubby loved it. It’s a quality appetizer and I would recommend if you like those sorts of dishes.
Prices are just a tad more than the other surrounding sushi spots but this experience was definitely a little more elevated. Staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive.
The shop is very small and space is tight - but it has excellent views of old town and felt very cozy. They fill up fast during busy night like the Friday farmers market but they take reservations I think.
Definitely had a great dinner and will be back!

Total hidden spot! old Town monrovia is a hidden gem and this spot had fresh blue fin tuna and an amazing miso cod! And, at a very reasonable price for sushi. For the area, 5 stars!

This is a very cute spot to get dinner in Monrovia. The happy hour is a great deal if you make it in time. The sushi is amazing so fresh and delicious! We preferred the rolls over the carpaccio sushi.

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
