This place was amazing! No picture of the food! But the staff and the service is top top. Sushi was out quickly but not rushed. Every roll fresh. The beef yakisoba was amazing. We even got treated to an extra special chefs roll!

I was extremely sad that the sushi place in the montebello mall closed down. I came here and saw a lot of the same workers! The sushi was 11/10, ambience was 11/10 and Service was 11/10! I will totally be back and this just became my new all time favorite sushi spot compared to kaiba! Watch out Monterey park, this one is going to be in the newspapers

My wife is a sushi lover so we have been to many sushi restaurants. This place was rated among the top by our family. We visited it last night. I ordered a chicken teriyaki bento, my daughter a bowl of noodle, and my wife a couple of rolls. They all tasted really, really good. The waitress were very attentive. Even more at some point they played my favorite song "Dance Monkey". Overall a high quality place. We will certainly come back.

Food was great, our server was super sweet girl. But the manager was so rude. She brought out 2 bento boxes, our table ordered 2 beef plates. She got angry because my friend was confused. We offered to accept the bento but she refused to bring it back. Our server apologized because she said the lady was the manager and her word was final. We then proceeded to request a can of white peach drink which had alcohol. We had ordered one previously our server told us they could not sell it to us. They didn't even bring out the shrimp fried rice and other items we ordered. Probably because the manager was angry.1. We were supposed to be angry, our food was 45minutes late. The sushi came out fast but not the hot food.2. She was very mean to us and her staff so I'll be honest she needs an attitude change. For someone running a restaurant she needs to keep her anger in check. Not go off on people and her staff infront of everyone. It wasn't even busy when we were there. Since she refused to sell to us I paid the bill after telling the manager I refused to pay for items we never received. She removed it but she was mad. Again not my fault we ordered if there was an issue she again should've checked instead of taking out her anger on us and the wait staff. I won't be coming back it's very nice restaurant food was alright. But I can't deal with people will use their anger to refuse to sell food and deliver on ordered food.Dietary restrictions: Let them knowKid-friendliness: They have children's chairs

Came with a large group and a few of us ordered bento boxes. One of us could not eat sesame seeds and there were some on top of the teriyaki chicken and some other items. She asked if they could help her out. I was really surprised the server started blaming the customer for not saying anything ahead of time. The server refused to replace the chicken part of the meal. It was not even that large of a portion. WTH??? It was such a small part of the plate which costs $24. Chicken is inexpensive, just replace it for goodness sake. Not sure if I will be back because of this crappy customer service experience. It's a shame since the sushi was very good.

A nice sushi spot in Monterey Park. I ordered their pink lady roll which was basically a California roll with salmon and crab on top. Their service is quick as we were quick to be seated and the food arrived quickly. Their prices are pretty decent for sushi and their portions seem large.
