19 Best Sushi Bars near Seaside

“today an amazing couple paid for our tab. We are a family of 6 trust when I say our bill was not cheap. Thank you so much and may God bless. The service is always great, the food is always on point.“

“We had a pretty good experience. The steak and shrimp entree was very yummy and cooked well with the rice and vegetables! Edamame was also really good.

The sushi was not prepared well, too big and the rice was falling apart. The salad was okay but the dressing was too sweet. And all the food was served to us within 5 minutes. It should have been spaced out better.“

“Harumi is one of my favorite sushi spots in the area. The fish is always very fresh, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The portions are also very generous, so you definitely get a great value.
The White Dragon Roll is light, elegant, and beautifully presented. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the fish tastes incredibly fresh.
The Agedashi Tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served in a delicious savory broth that’s very comforting.
The Spicy Pork, Beef teriyaki and sushi Bento Box is a great choice if you’re hungry. The portion is big and comes with a nice variety of sides. The pork has a great spicy flavor and is very satisfying.
And don’t miss the Banana Tempura with Ice Cream. The warm crispy banana with cold ice cream is the perfect sweet ending.
Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“I stopped in for lunch and found the lunch pricing to be very reasonable, which the food quality may reflect to some extent. The salmon sashimi closely resembled the salmon used in the salad; given that, the salad is the safer choice. The sashimi was irregularly cut, though the fish itself was of decent quality.

The katsu was unconventional and not something I would recommend. That said, other menu items were respectable, so I’d give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt overall.

Note: Parking is unclear—using the auto body shop parking lot next door appears to be the practical option.“

“I just want to say absolutely delicious food! I usually always back myself out of ordering new things but I decided to order this noodle soup with things I thought I’d like. When the soup arrived and I tried it, it was DELICIOUS! Our appetizer of fried vegetables w/shrimp was absolutely delicious. Both sushi rolls we ordered were great! Usually California rolls can be more on the basic side and have less of an enhancing flavor but they did such a great job with the seasonings and toppings! I was very happy with my meal. We were visiting out of town and I said we had to stop by!
It does it get packed, we went about 6 o clock and we had to wait outside for seating for like 15 minutes. Then we go seated and our food came in roughly 15 minutes as well. My food didn’t come out at the same time as my partners as I had hoped, so we just waited.

Overall, the staff was friendly and most importantly the food was delicious. Would 100% recommend to family and friends!“

“Susie was very good. We got three rolls and a hand roll all were excellent. We also ended up getting two rolls to go. Sushi was served in cute sushi boats. The staff was amazing. They were having issues with their electricity that night But we’re very accommodating. Service was excellent and fast.“

“My husband & I arrived at opening and were greeted and seated right away. Customer service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I both ordered Lunch Box specials and shared a J's Maki roll. Food was fresh and our server was attentive, checking in on us every little while to make sure everything was okay. Mika Sushi is definitely a gem in Carmel Valley Village and we'll definitely be back again.“

“Super friendly waitress and reasonable prices. Stopped by for dinner in the quieter part of town, and the restaurant was not too busy. The ramen and sushi were good. Be careful not to pull into the car wash, since Sushi by The Bay’s lot is on the other side of their building.“

“We came in expecting a simple sushi spot, but this place completely surprised us.

The presentation is absolutely beautiful — every dish is decorated with so much care, and all the little details make the food feel even more special and delicious.

The courtyard is also cozy and has such a unique atmosphere — it honestly feels like you’ve stepped somewhere far away from the city for a while. We truly loved this place and left impressed. Definitely worth visiting.“

“I always get a takeout bowl and they’re on time. Food is delicious. I’m very picky about what I eat and they’re always accommodating when I ask for changes. The service people are polite and helpful. One downside is they recently increased their prices by a few dollars.“

“My wife and I will be paying a visit to the Presidio in a few weeks. We have many fond memories there from 1986/1987 when I was a Polish student and she was a Czech student, both of us U.S. Army. We met there and were married in Pacific Grove on our lunch hour. In our minds it's a magical place (and a superb language school) that expanded our horizons. We're returning to the U.S. after many years overseas.“

“Friendly staff, excellent food.“

“Excellent sushi restaurant in downtown Monterey. Fresh, great service and fun atmosphere.“

“Delicioso 🤤 cuando lo disfrutes con las personas adecuadas para ti 🥰🥰🥰“

“The fish is fresh and the new rolls are a nice addition to the menu. Tommy and Esmeralda have been offering awesome promos like buy 2 get 1 free. Check em out! #sushiyoucantrust“

“Akaoni is one of my favorite restaurants and serves the best sushi that I've had in California. We personally make trips to Carmel-by-the-sea just to eat here, so if you are a sushi aficionado, I genuinely think you should try squeezing in a visit. One time, I ate here prior to a big interview, and my stress just melted away.

Yes, you need a reservation to eat here because they have a limited amount of space and work to make the atmosphere peaceful and calming. I think that some folks misinterpret their directness as rudeness, but I personally feel that they are polite and provide excellent service. Our experiences here have been positive and memorable.“

“Fun sitting at the Sushi Bar! Great team, great service, and of course great food!“

“exelent service and the food it's grate.“
