My favorite Sushi Bar in the city.

by BigSushiLover

My favorite Sushi Bar in the city.

I live on Long Island, but whenever I get into the city, this is the place for me. I have been going there since they first opened as Godzilla Sushi.

The sushi is huge, hence the name "Monster Sushi", the price is reasonable and the service is always friendly.

For my money the quality of the fish is the best in the city, and I have been into sushi for 30 years.

I would highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a great sushi experience!

Long time customer,

by wdigital

Been coming to this restaurant for many years and love the food. I have tried everything from sushi & sashimi to all the cooked foods like negimaki & torikatsu. Never had a bad meal, always fresh. Great Place..

Very disappointed...

by soja001

I went to this restaurant this week with my friend for dinner, and I got intoxicated with the sushi. I am sick for two days, I went to the doctor and apparently the salmon in the sushi was not fresh. Very disappointed...

Overrated....

by mricantcutstraight

I was super excited to finally try out Monster Sushi with a group of friends who recommended me to come here. When we arrived the place seamed dead, we waited for a few minutes before we were seated even though there was no other customers there! We all ordered our rolls and waited as the employees made our food. While the sushi guys were making out food two of them were on the phone the whole time which i found really annoying. When my rolls came I bit into my tuna roll and there was a bone! I decided to ignore this since it wasn't that big of a deal. When I reached for the soy sauce a roach crawled from under it and ran under the table! After that i couldn't finish my meal, we all decided to pay and leave....

  • Pros: interesting decor
  • Cons: bad food and service
