Top Japanese Restaurant in Montrose
Blue Fish Japanese Restaurant
2261 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA 91020, United States
Blue Fish Japanese Restaurant never disappoints. Even after essentially doubling in size by expanding into the next door space vacated by another restaurant, this place is always busy for the dinner rush, so if you dont want to have to wait for a table or spot at the sushi bar plan for an earlyish/lateish dinner. Blue Fish has an extensive list of specialty rolls so it has something for everyone in your group (including many choices of raw, cooked, and vegetarian rolls). I especially like the Special Library and Red Dragon rolls. Also, their nigiri/sashimi portions are quite generous.
Sake Sushi Bar Lounge
2270 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA 91020, United States
I went there and ordered dinner. They ran out of green tea? I got hot water instead.I got my bill and they charged me for the tea and over charged me for 2 other items. They will rip you off there so be careful. Plus all of their food had too much pepper powder so very spicy.They are not a real Japanese restaurant.They did not have Chirashi which EVERY Japanese restaurant has.I will not go back.
Umai Teriyaki
2268 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA 91020, United States
I ordered 2 lunch specials, a dinner meal (beef ribs) and an order of California rolls. The woman who answers the phone cannot understand the English language very well and it made it difficult to order. I had to start my order over several times because if I asked a question about any part of a meal, she would assume that I wanted it and added it to the order. It discouraged me from ordering anything else since I had no menu to order from. Also, I at the end of my order I asked if everything (each item) came with salad and she replied yes. I even told her how good the salad is and she giggled and said thank you. My son picked up my order for me and when I looked, there was no salad. I called and spoke with the same woman who had no problem speaking English well enough to understand me and to tell me that not one item I ordered came with a side salad. There are way too many Teriyaki restaurants nearby to put up with that sort of thing. The only reason i gave 2 stars is because the food is decent as Teriyaki goes. Next time I will try another spot. I dont feel like going through that again. As I think about it, I better check my receipt!
Zen Sushi and Gourmet Asian Cuisine
2650 Foothill Blvd #3510, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214, United States
Yummy sushi place. We come here fairly often. My favorites are the spicy tuna crispy rice and the Heart Attack roll. Its not cheap, but I wouldnt say its overpriced either. Good sized portions of fish. I wish they had a little more diversity in their rolls. I love me some spicy tuna, but it seems that most of their rolls feature it in different ways. The only thing weve ever had an issue with is the eel. It can be hit or miss. When its good, its really good, but when its bad, well, not so much. Overall, though, we have friendly service. Its usually busy, but not packed. Weve tried 4 different sushi joints since we moved up here and Zen is our favorite so far.

Lost Books
2233 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA 91020, United States
Such a charming bookstore! It was bigger than I anticipated, but the design/architecture and abundance of plants really set a relaxing ambiance. The books are priced very affordably and I loved their foreign book section as I was able to find a Japanese book and some French books. I will definitely be returning in the future! There are also a lot of other cool restaurants and places to check out around the area. The parking structure in the back is huge and free for the first 9 hours I believe, it’s great(:
Sushi Monster
2426 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA 91020, United States
Weve been dinning her since it opened many years ago. The service is friendly and the food is so fresh and delicious! The Honolulu Roll is amazing... If youre looking for a more casual place to eat sushi and other Japanese cuisine this is a great spot. Yes, there are others in the area, but they are also a little pricy and offer an atmosphere that isnt as relaxing as Sushi Monster. Thanks Vickie! We love your restaurant!
House of Joy - La Crescenta
3220 Foothill Blvd, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214, United States
I dont know how to say it other than just average thats putting it nice. Something says strange that its a Chinese restaurant with Korean all over the place and Japanese chopsticks. However that has little impact to the fact the food is just okay and pretty expensive. The waiters !? if there was any treat you like your not even there. Literally no greetings takes like 10 tries to track them down. Plus its just plane dirty everywhere
