    Really can't go wrong with any of the monster rolls. Some of my favorites are the Monster Roll, the Yellowtail Special Roll and the World Series Roll.

    Super fresh and tasty sushi, the bento boxes are the best deal for dinner. They charge 50 cents extra for your role inside out which is tad silly.

    The fish is so fresh. The service is excellent and the atmosphere couldn't be better. My lunch companion really enjoyed her bento box and said the red bean ice-cream was the best she ever tasted.

    A little pricey at first glance but the special rolls are HUGE and definitely shareable. Love that they have rice-free options too!

    Best sushi in the area. Don't skip out on the VIP area with leather desk chairs.

    2 reasons why this place is called Monster: impressive collection of Godzilla figures at the back, and monstrously large sushi rolls.

    The best sushi in the city...don't worry about the ambience. Try the Godzilla Roll, the New York roll with tempura batter and the peanut roll inside out with avocado
