Best sushi, hands down in Monrovia. Can't find any place better.

Quiet secret. Tucked away in the Trader Joe's strip mall is an unassuming and awesome sushi restaurant. It's not a hot trending fancy place. Just a simple hole in the wall, that quietly plays eurodance music. (Ikr). It feels comfortable. The fish is excellent. Good portions and complimented by expert rice handling. The fish is well chosen and fresh and with a variety of enjoyable sauces and marinades.

My husband said best sushi rolls he has ever had and way cheaper too than the Sushi restaurant we frequent back home. I have never had Teriyaki Beef that delicious before. The price included it, soup, and a salad. All the establishments back home are soup or salad, definitely not both! Can you come to NC lol?

I am staying at a hotel near by and found this place to walk over to grab a bite. What a gem of a place!! I ordered their specials on the menu and it was absolutely delightful. I am not the best picture taker but I took a picture of some of the things I ordered and added it here. Wow! The taste was phenomenal. Come see and taste it for yourself and you will love it! The service here was awesome as well. Come by and you be the judge. :)

One of my favorite sushi places in the Monrovia area. Everything tasted fresh. I got the bento box, with mackerel and sashimi. The portions were pretty big, so I was really happy about that. The hot green tea was refillable, I think they make it fresh, it's a genmai cha I believe, it even has some roasted rice floating about.

This place is great, words can't describe how satisfied I am with this little spot, I've always been big on food presentation, my goodness! The chefs here really do take pride in their artistry, the portions and size of the rolls are abundant, the taste out of this world with the sauces perfectly being paired up with the entree served, they have a plethora of sushi roll combinations and to top it off they offer complimentary ice cream for dessert. A must to visit this spot, guaranteed to become a regular, it has for me.
