2023-07-29 03:38:33Perhaps Im being a bit unfair, but this place has absolutely raised prices by a huge margin post pandemic. Call it inflation, but no longer do I feel Im getting a quality meal at a quality price.The sushi and rolls are prepared well. Top notch? Far from it. Just solid sushi. Well made. But not special enough. Yet they command $10 for the cheapest 2 piece nigiri.The atmosphere is okay at best. Not your date spot. This is supposed to be your everyday sushi joint for locals. But no longer does it fit the mold.

2023-06-12 13:45:116/1/23:Spider Roll is delicious and tastes as if real crab. Golden Roll (Fried California) is a new GoTo roll for me here, nicely prepared, good presentation. Edamame is the largest portion Ive seen to date in a sushi restaurant....and served within minutes. ICE COLD Sapporo served in a frozen mug actually froze some of the beer in the top of my glass, excellent. Only mild complaint is pricing, highest in area, but as long as sushi is top notch, Ill continue to come back. 4.8 Stars (-.2 for pricing).Previous:Great overall experience. Very attentive staff, greeted as I walked in the door (and everyone else as well). Drink and appetizer served within a minute or 2 of walking in the door. Although the Edamame wasnt piping hot, it was warm+ and plentiful, but a couple dollars more than other locations. The beer was served with a frozen mug...unlike most others, and a big plus (helped earn the 5 stars. Since ALL CRAB IS IMITATION HERE, and no choice for substitution, I ordered a smoked salmon roll instead of the traditional California. Only 6 pieces here (instead of typical 8), making each piece more expensive as well. I finished off with a Firecracker roll. It hit the spot, but might continue doing so all evening. Florida sushi restaurants dont know what heat is relative to this roll. Overall great experience, but I do side with Chris Wahls comments (below) though in regards to price.

2023-03-24 05:17:47Very attentive.. Food was good. A bit over priced in my opinion. That being said I would return. The salad dressing not the greatest. But the miso was delicious and so was the Thai ice tea. I ordered short ribs which was a large portion. My friend ordered the sushi and tempura she enjoyed it.

2023-11-08 22:12:34Once again! The best experience. Wonderful ambience. Came in for a late lunch at 1:30. They close at 1:45 and I felt bad for coming in right before close. They didnt make me feel rushed. when the staff started cleaning the FOH the waitress stopped him so the patrons didnt have to smell pine-sole while eating- so thoughtful!! Service and food was above par. Wish I could come more often.Thank you for always providing an amazing experience.

2023-02-12 21:51:02Good local sushi and bento spot on Belmont. The galbi ribs are the best around, including the Korean bbq restaurants in the area. The rolls are good as well and the tempura ice cream is a familiar favorite. The dining area is small so it can get crowded at busy times. The restaurant usually has sporting events on the wall monnted tvs.

2022-03-19 20:19:36I visited Sushi Monster for dinner on a weekday while on business in the Bay Area. It’s a cosy neighborhood sushi place. Loved the sushi combo, also tried the Korean noodles. Service was quite fast. This is a good place for decent food!

2023-07-25 05:27:35Small place. Good food. Service is OK. Your typical Japanese restaurant. I used to eat at this place somewhat often. I remember the food really tasted good. Now, its a little pricey and mediocre, to say the least. Could be better.

2023-06-13 02:19:52Love the people and their sushi. They sometimes have more unique varieties of sushi on their board. Been going their for 15 years. Great atmosphere for a small local Japanese restaurant.

2020-03-14 16:24:02I cannot compliment this place enough!What else can i say about this magnificent Japanese restaurant?!The staff kindly greets you upon entering, gives you prompt service, offers delicious food and isnt too hard on the wallet.Fabulous and flavorful grilled seafood, chicken, steak and veggie combo plates complimented with rice and salad. Incredibly creative hand crafted sushi rolls, Ramen and Udon noodle soups to die for.Located in popular Belmont, this place tends to get busy on Friday evenings only because its an icon for Japanese Cuisine!
