14 Best Japanese Restaurants in Monterey Park

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.“

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!“

“It was my first time coming here yesterday 9/19/26. I had the combo plate with teriyaki chicken and short ribs. Those where one of the most delicious short ribs I've ever had. They had a lot of meat, and they where very flavorful. The chicken was also delicious, and the mac salad that comes with it. I really enjoyed it.“

“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!“

“Their signature soufflé pancakes“

“They offered free dessert for a 5 star review but honestly the service was 10/10. Parking is a bit tougher (there's a small lot in the back, otherwise there's street parking). The music is a little loud on a Wednesday night but the music selection was a vibe. No wait for a party of 2. They won't seat you until the whole party is there btw. Abdy, our server, was so sweet & accommodating. Only reason I gave the food a 4/5 is because I the portion was really small for the price. I will say I thought the salmon bowl was going to be grilled but it was a poke bowl (and that's on me) but Abdy offered to replace it with something else (so sweet 🥺) but I still wanted to try it so I kept it! But just offering was so nice I really appreciated it!! Wouldn't mind coming back. (:“

“Really good spot for takeout pho. The broth was super flavorful and still hot when I got home, which I really appreciated. Everything was packed neatly and the portions were actually pretty generous for the price.

I got the pho to-go and the ingredients all tasted fresh, especially the herbs and bean sprouts. Service was quick and easy too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to whenever I want something warm and comforting after a long day 🍜“

“Clean and modern. Sushi bar.“

“Love the fried oysters. Good flavor and they use the big juicy ones! It’s so good with lemon. Fried octopus is also great. Not dry. Great flavor. Nice dipping sauce. Takoyaki is nicely put together. Didn’t fall apart when I pick it up.

First come first serve. No reservation. They will only seat you when the whole party is there. Parking lot at front and rear. Clean dining area. The staff are friendly and helpful. We came for small bites only. I wish I have a bigger stomach.“

“It’s always such a great time sitting at the sushi bar with Chef Otay making his amazing rolls. Their Boats are also a special treat“

“Excellent bento dinners. Very generous servings and taste was excellent. Great to take into Dodger stadium!“

“Very good ! Love it Nice place“

“Very quick & friendly service at the Sunset location. All I got was a regular-size chicken karaage bowl and it was perfect. Tipped a little extra“

“Well oiled machine! I'm impressed! I went in for dinner around 8p last night and after I order the crew got slammed busy. They were running behind on the orders and handled the pressure amazingly. These young crew members were poised, professional, focused and got the job done! Jeremiah, Madison and Natalie - Great Job! You're going places!“
