Kiku Sushi - Monrovia

Hidden Gem. Nestled in the Trader Joe's strip mall, you'll find a modest yet fantastic sushi restaurant that might not be the latest trendy spot, but it's truly special. This charming little hole-in-the-wall features a laid-back atmosphere accompanied by some eurodance music (yes, you read that right). It creates a cozy vibe that's hard to beat. The fish is outstanding—served in generous portions and paired with expertly prepared rice. The selection of fish is fresh and beautifully complemented by a range of delicious sauces and marinades.

I had a very similar experience to the many negative reviews listed below. The quality of the food was extremely poor, and if you expect to be treated with respect, there's really no point in dining indoors. This restaurant had the rudest staff my family and I have ever encountered. Don't be misled by their low prices; "cheap" is a more accurate description of the kind of service they offer.

As is the case everywhere, prices have increased. The food remains good, but they've reduced portion sizes. They used to serve edamame as an appetizer, but that's no longer offered, which was disappointing. Additionally, the service was lacking; our server didn't return to our table even once.

Nice quality food and the menu option for dinner is a good choice

They didn't allow my wife's service dog into their restaurant. We've never had an experience like this anywhere else that we've gone.
