Monster Sushi

Ok but not as good as I had hoped

by adiner444 at Citysearch

The sashimi I had was excellent and the pieces were HUGE. The rolls I got however, were too big to eat. The rice was to warm and the roe had a nasty fishy smell to it. Really enjoyed the edamame and the Teriyaki dish my friend ordered was very good. I really wanted to try the conch but they were out ;-(.

• Pros: Large Portions
• Cons: Not as fresh as I would like

Best Sushi & Service

by babygap5 at Citysearch

You have to try the eel & cucumber rolls, it's addicting. The salmon & avocado and red tuna & avocado rolls are yummy. The food is fresh, the service is great and the place is always packed (which is a good thing, people LOVE this place.)

This is the only place I will order sushi from.

• Pros: Food quality, service, price
• Cons: I wish it was closer to where I work...

The kitschy sushi mini-chain unleashes another monster.

In Short
Despite the suggestion of the name, the cuts of fish at Monster are no more massive than those at a handful of other popular sushi restaurants around town. For those who aren't in the mood for fish, there's a wealth of other items (127 savory dishes in all) to try.

MONSTER - the name says it all; the pieces are huge (and fresh/tasty as well)! Overall, the food's quality is above-average, while reasonably priced. For lunch, walk in slightly after 1pm to avoid long lines. But, don't worry, the food comes pretty quickly, so you can get back to work on time. For dinner, it's usually pretty dead ('cos of its location), so you'll get a lot of personal attention. P.S. If you're a eel lover, definitely try the Monster Roll (it's one of a kind in NYC).

• Pros: Value, Food
• Cons: Loud

2 hours for delivery

by kandyk1298 at Citysearch

The worst EVER! I tried the 23rd St location twice....bad fish first and the second time I chose to have it delivered. NEVER showed, called 3 times....2 hours later...no sushi for me! Never again!

good value

by anonymousnobody at Citysearch

The sushi is reasonably priced and fresh. Portions are not "monster"-sized -- the name of the restaurant could be misleading. Service is prompt. Good for a quick sushi lunch.

GREAT SUSHI!

by jord1594 at Citysearch

I read about monster sushi here on citysearch and I am so glad I tried it. It was the best sushi I've had in New York. It was very moderately priced and a perfect place to eat for lunch. It has a very extensive menu and everything looked great. I highly recommend this place!

Delish Fish

by jenniebnyc at Citysearch

I forgot what really good sushi tasted liked. I usually go to 23rd street location, but ate here instead and food was just as good. No customers really b/c in the heart of midtown, but can't go wrong with anything here! You really get double for your $$. One roll came with 12 pieces. For 4 people.........80 bucks. A bit cheaper than Haru and quality much better!
