Food was amazing! The quality speaks for itself. I highly recommend this restaurant, and will definitely be back soon.

Loved it!!! Great service and even better food. Better quality sushi than others on Myrtle. Can't recommend enough!

Service is absolutely excellent. Attentive, without being pushy. Food is top notch, with the gyoza being fresh (certainly seemed that way to us). We had the tuna tataki roll and the crunchy lobster roll, both were excellent. The restaurant is situated right in the center of Myrtle Ave. Lovely soft jazz, and super clean. (If you go on the Friday night when the market is going on, no one hardly is there). Please go, you will be very happy! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but Fillet Sushi honestly deserves it. Came here not knowing exactly what to expect, and it completely exceeded expectations. The vibe is modern but still feels authentic -- not overly traditional, not gimmicky either. Just clean, thoughtful, and focused on the food. We tried a mix of nigiri, sashimi, and a couple of their signature dishes. The fish quality is seriously impressive for the price point. You can tell they care about sourcing and technique -- every piece was balanced and intentional. Highlights: * Toro tartare in nori taco -- rich, crispy, addictive * Yellowtail with jalapeño -- classic but done right * Nigiri selection -- simple, clean, and high quality * Wagyu dish -- perfectly cooked, not overcomplicated What I liked most is that this place feels like a premium sushi experience without the intimidating omakase pressure. You can go casual or go all-in. Service was attentive without being pushy. Staff actually explain the dishes, which makes a big difference if you're not a sushi expert. If you're in the Monrovia / SGV area and want something that feels a step above typical sushi spots, this is 100% worth trying. read more

Ok the food here is very fresh !! I've cane here before but I think it was named something else. Anyways, the sushi was so fresh and good! I ordered the salmon nigiri, miso soup, and shared the salmon truffle rolls that were beyonddd delicious! Good miso soup and fresh salmon nigiri that was very good!! Yummy !! The service was also very good!! It took awhile to come to our table, but once they did they were very attentive and good personalities!! The ambiance was perfect as well. Very modern and cute!! Located in downtown Monrovia so it's good vibes for sure!! I will definitely come Back here ! Very good menu! A lot to choose from. -Marshay D. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Yes it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Food, service, and ambiance are perfect. The scallop carpaccio was amazing. The skewers were amazing. The waitress recommended two sakes which were delicious. Absolute gem. The swishing was so fresh and perfect. Everything we tried (Everything on the menu) was phenomenal. I will definitely be back. I'd recommend having some kid options, and kid friendly drink options like lemonade or more juices besides apple juice. Menu is very dynamic and has many delicious options. There is a 18% charge on every bill which I did not mind paying because the quality and service was amazing. read more

Fillet Sushi - Black Cod - Sushi Bars Near Me - Monrovia, California

This is THE spot if you're looking for quality Japanese fish. During my omakase experience, every course was prepared with care. You can really tell the chefs prioritize freshness and technical precision. Sitting at the counter made it even better, where I watched each nigiri being made. What I was served: * Tai (Sea Bream) * Kinmedai (Golden Eye Snapper) * Saba (Mackerel) * Anago (Sea Eel) * Seared Otoro (Fatty Tuna) For additional entrees, we tried the Chilean sea bass tempura apple salad and the steamed ginger Chilean sea bass. Both were incredibly light, delicate, and fluffy! Highly recommend the Toro tartare! The texture paired with the crunchy seaweed is absolutely incredible. The wagyu tobanyaki was also impressive. It comes sizzling, and that aroma hits you immediately when they lift the lid. Every bite was rich and flavorful, and even the vegetables were perfect. To finish, we tried the premium soy sauce ice cream and croissant pudding. All desserts are made in-house, and we'll definitely be back to try more flavors. There's plenty of nearby parking, and we booked our reservation easily through Yelp. read more

Came to try their signature omakase from the DineLA menu. We made reservations for the bar and was seated immediately. Items included the following: 1. 4 item Appetizer - octopus & conch, monkfish liver, Kunomoto oyster (sweet but too much vinegar) tempura salad (loved it) &halibut 2. Premium sashimi: Scallop, chutoro with truffle shavings (one of my favorites), King mackerel (need more flavor) 3. Snow crab chuwanmushi - had an interesting rice wine flavor 4. Red snapper with lemon & salt... The rice was too warm. Overtook the fish flavor 5. Bluefin tuna 6. Seared Red snapper 7. Yellowtail 8. Seared sea perch 9. Hokkaido uni (so sweet) 10. Seared Otoro (melt in my mouth) 11. Grilled wagyu with truffle butter (I learned that I like truffle butter) 12. Croissant pudding with soy sauce ice cream.... Salty and lightly sweet Overall I enjoyed the meal. Pricing was good. Service was good. They filled our waters and took our empty plates. My finance got the sake pairing. We did have to wait a while for the sake. Inside was nice and clean. We went on a Friday night so the streets were closed for the weekly Farmers market. We parked at the nearby public parking. read more

Valentine's Modern Kaiseki Experience Food: 7/10 We chose the Valentine's Kaiseki instead of omakase, and honestly the first three courses were my favorite parts of the entire meal. The toro tartare nori tacos were creative and delicious -- I could easily eat a whole tray of just those. Same goes for toro nigiri. If they ever offered a toro-only tasting, I'm in. The scallops were cooked perfectly, tender and balanced. The firefly squid was also surprisingly great -- not chewy at all, which is usually my concern. I generally don't love oysters, but this Kumamoto oyster was actually very well prepared and enjoyable. Premium ingredients showed up throughout the meal -- uni, toro (multiple times), wagyu -- so the price point makes sense from an ingredient perspective. Where it dipped slightly for me: * The clear broth palate cleanser was my least favorite dish. * The wagyu with soba risotto had potential, but the risotto was served as a dense puck and the wagyu leaned slightly overcooked. * The simmered abalone was better than others I've tried, but it still carried that lingering ocean-forward taste that just might not be for me personally. The hojicha lava cake was devious in flavor -- rich, deep tea notes -- but there was no lava inside. Still tasty, just not what the name promised. Pacing: The wait time between dishes felt a little slow. The full experience took exactly 2 hours. Not necessarily bad for a Valentine's dinner, but noticeable. Service: 10/10 Service absolutely carried the experience. Our server had amazing energy, confidently explained each course, shared what the restaurant offers on different days, and gladly gave her input as dishes came out. Water was consistently refilled and plates were cleared quickly. The sushi chef even stopped by with a small rose bouquet, which was a really thoughtful Valentine's touch. Ambiance: Smart casual with full lovey-dovey Valentine's vibes. Intimate and date-night ready. Good to know: Steep Price, Small Portions, and There's a mandatory 18% service charge, which came out to almost $80 on our bill -- just something to factor in. Total bill came out to a bit over 500$. For that price I should be leaving stuffed. read more

Made reservations and came during DineLA. We were seated right away. Chose the signature omakase, service was attentive - frequently refilled our water. We parked in a nearby lot that offered 3 hours of free parking, which was very convenient. Casual atmosphere. 4 seasonal appetizers: Arugula tempura with vinegar dressing, refreshing with great crunch (personal favorite) Monkfish liver was smooth and rich, nicely balanced by crunchy seaweed Oyster Clam and octopus ceviche had a bright citrus note Sashimi: Scallop with cucumber was soft and refreshing Chutoro with pecorino cheese and radish was an interesting, savory combination Mackerel was smoky and deeply flavorful Snow crab chawanmushi tasted like the sea Premium Nigiri: Sea bream with shiso, salt, and wasabi Seared kinmedai with soy glaze Shima aji with yuzu kosho and ponzu Akami with soy and salt Seared akamutsu Uni from Hokkaido was creamy and fresh (personal favorite) Seared otoro The grilled wagyu with truffle butter was cooked perfectly, aromatic and savory. Miso soup with mushrooms rounded out the savory courses nicely. Dessert was a croissant pudding with soy sauce ice cream, a unique and satisfying finish. read more

Food was so fresh and delicious! Stephanie our waitress was so pleasant. You must try this place. The best sushi in San Gabriel Valley

As a person with celiac disease, it's hard to find a good sushi place that offers any gluten free options let alone gluten free soy or ponzu sauce. I feel extremely grateful I was able to have a safe gluten free meal here with my husband and one year old baby today. I was in the area and called ahead and was able to make a same day reservation. Upon entering, they were extremely friendly, provided us with a table quickly, and even provided the cutest kid plate and utensils for my baby. The atmosphere itself was incredibly clean with a very sleek and modern design. I informed our waitress, Stephanie, that I had a gluten allergy and she was incredibly knowledgeable about cross contamination and gluten containing items on the menu. We ordered the yellowtail jalapeno sashimi and a scallop sashimi and they were both incredibly fresh. We also ordered the chicken and wagyu skewers which were smoky and tasty. We also ordered the yellowtail jalapeno roll and crazy salmon roll. They had a kid bento box on the menu that we ordered for the baby and she loved it too. Everything was so delicious! Above all, I was so thankful they were willing and able to make all the substitutions so easily to accommodate my allergy. I will 100% be back again and again. This will be placed on my safe places to eat list. Thank you fillet sushi. read more

Thank you, Chef! My dining experience at Fillet Sushi went extremely well. I was quite surprised we walked in on a Saturday night sans reservation and was seated right away. We drove by last night and it was packed. Staff & Chef was knowledgeable and attentive. Was satisfied with our Ootoro Sashimi but wished our Wagyu A5 Sashimi was not as well done. Presentation for all of our dishes was a 8/10 - very nicely done! Restaurant was small & cozy but nicely decorated. I LOVED their muscular Maneki-neko (Fortune Cat) - looked quite buff! Very impressive! Nice Sake Selection. The Shrimp Tempura was actually my favorite dish - 9/10. It was crispy and paired well with our Kubota sake. Prices are fair and their sashimi was fresh. One thing that came as a surprise to me was the automatic 18% service charge that was added to our bill for a party of 2. We normally tip 20-25% so it was confusing to whether that 18% was the tip, and very much of a hassle to try to calculate the difference to add up to what the actual tip should be. I've dined at many sushi restaurants and this was the first time an automatic service charge had been added for a small party. Overall, I really enjoyed dining at Fillet Sushi. Our bill for 2 came out to just below $500 but it was only because we ordered 2 x bottles of Sake + higher priced items. Their prices are actually pretty reasonable so Fillet Sushi is definitely a must for our. fellow Yelpies to try. You won't be disappointed. read more

We had a great experience at Fillet Sushi in Monrovia. The fish was extremely fresh and you can tell they really care about quality and presentation. Everything we ordered tasted clean and well balanced. The sushi was excellent but what really stood out to us were the skewers. They were perfectly cooked, very flavorful, and a great addition to the meal. The service was also very friendly and welcoming. On top of that they went above and beyond. I almost walked out and forgot my wallet and the staff stopped me on my way out to make sure I got it back. Really appreciated that level of honesty and attention. The atmosphere is modern but still relaxed which makes it a great spot for dinner in Old Town Monrovia. We will definitely be coming back and will be ordering those skewers again. Highly recommend if you are looking for quality sushi in the area. read more

Came here once for dinner with some girlfriends, almost forgot about it until they had a dine la event. Really good selection and quality of fish - 4 course appetizer w/ fried baby crab & scallop spring roll, ankimo, Oyster, & fried veggies with a white fish - so many textures and rocks flavors 5/5 - roe chawanmushi - 5/5 - 6 pc Nigiri - 5/5 - wagyu, chicken skewer, & fried okra 5/5 - 3 course dessert w/ croissant bread pudding, soy sauce ice cream, & green tea ice cream The absolute most delicious thing is definitely their soy sauce ice cream. Totally unexpected and absolutely divine. I would like to take a gallon's Worth next time, thanks. In the heart of Old Town Monrovia, plenty of street parking and lots all over the place. My only suggestion would be to not come Friday evenings since there is usually a street fair happening and parking becomes extremely scarce read more

Ordered: - 2x Fillet sushi DineLA mini omakase ($65/6pcs) - (4/5): - Appetizers: Kumamoto oysters with ponzu sauce turned out to be a good start to the course and was super refreshing considering that we were outside in the heat. The monkfish liver with seaweed salad was not too "organ-y" so one of the best monkfish livers we've had. - Chawanmushi with crab meat - my gf really liked this one. - Sea bream - like the salt flakes - Red Snapper? Not sure what the server said it was. - Mackerel - Chutoro with truffle - our favorite piece! - King mackerel - Ikura - tasty but nothing to write home about compared to the nigiri - Added seared snow trout - Wagyu hand roll - very heavy and filling but my gf found it a bit too chewy and well done - Tamago - Soy sauce ice cream - we loved this one! It almost tasted like a take on vanilla ice cream. Both familiar and new! Overall (4/5): We came here on a Friday evening about a month ago. It was unfortunately a bit hot inside and the staff didn't seem to be fully trained as they left the menus at our table after taking our order and seemed confused about certain things. Ambiance was quiet at first but then quickly got pretty noisy. However, the omakase contained all good quality fish that differed from the usual at other locations and we loved checking out the Friday farmer's market right outside afterwards. Overall a pretty decent experience that we were both glad to have. read more

I came last night for the weekly Friday night Monrovia street fair and decided to pop in for sushi. I got their 8 piece nigiri sushi special for $38. Half of the sushi tasted fresh, moist and delicious, and the other half tasted dried and the texture and flavor balance were off. The octopus, ebi (sweet shrimp), grilled mackerel and one of the sushi (I forgot which one) all tasted dry. I understand most of these are cooked food so the texture could be more dry when combined with rice. In my opinion, that's when the seasoning/sauce could come in handy and the paring becomes important. The tamago (cooked egg) turned out to be the highlight of the meal. It was soft, spongy and different from your typical tamago sushi. I told our server I could have eaten a whole pan of their tamago. It tasted more like a Japanese sponge cake with a perfect hint of savoriness. I would recommend they check out their competition in the same market they are competing in, which are higher-end sushi joints in the area such as Sushi Nakata (their neighbor also in Old Town Monrovia) and Akamai Sushi and Sushi Kisen both in Arcadia. They should check them out to compare the quality of fish, presentation and pricing. The others are superior especially Akamai Sushi in my opinion for the same price and for better quality sushi and presentation. The place was relatively empty at 7:30pm probably because most of the patrons were outside eating at the different food booths. Thankfully, three more parties came in during my meal. This particular location has undergone three different ownerships in the last ten years. I am rooting for this new restaurant and hope they will do well. read more

Fantastic sushi restaurant ! One of the best Japanese restaurants in SGV. The catch of the day is listed on the wall. I recommend the rock shrimp appetizer and any sushi. The fish is fresh and sliced in perfect portions. Service is phenomenal. Variety of drinks, including beer and sake. There are parking lots behind or next to the restaurant. On most Friday evenings, City of Monrovia has a farmers market that closes down most of Myrtle so parking can be hard to find. But I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I came to Fillet Sushi by myself to see what the good reviews were all about! I came around 5:30pm and was immediately sat at the bar. It also wasn't too busy which was very nice. I've been wanting to try Fillet Sushi as they offer an Omakase style option and I love trying new omakase spots. The service was very good! The servers I had were very attentive and constantly checked on me. I never had to worry about calling someone over. I had initially intended to opt for the sushi omakase option, but I also noticed they had a chef's choice sashimi option and decide to opt for that with some a la carte items. The sashimi was extremely fresh and every single one just melted in your mouth! I also tried a wagyu beef skewer that did not disappoint. The takoyaki appetizer was also very delicious. Takoyaki can be a hit or miss but I'll definitely say that they put together a good appetizer. The restaurant itself is very clean and put together. I really like the clean-aesthetic vibes it gives off too. Definitely coming back to try their sushi omakase! read more

We've lived in the surrounding area for almost two years now and we have official found a sushi spot that'll well be regulars at. On the menu right below their name it says "taste the quality" and you can't anything better for the area! It's a true gem in old town Monrovia. The fish quality is superb! It was our first time here at Fillet Sushi, we sat at the bar during Monrovia's Friday nights night market. Service was great. We sat at the bar and said it was our first time here and the host gave us a tour of the menu and said what his favorites are. (Yellowtail Jalapeno fillet sashimi, jidori karaage, salmon truffle fillet's roll) since we sat at the bar Chef Bobby and Chef T took care of us. Later he recommended the pecorino truffle fillet's sashimi, but we were so full! To start we got crispy rice with albacore. 4 pieces for 14$ lots of albacore on top and a jalapeño. Great starter. Personally I would like it a little saucy but that's just me since I'm so used to getting a spicy mayo on top of it. But I'd rather get more fish on top like they did. We got their new shiso ponzu golden eye snapper sashimi. WOW. This flavor. Shiso dressing and the garlic chip. Yum! I can't wait to try the other sashimi later on. I could dip this sauce in everything. The snapper was melt in your mouth delicious. Next, we got the 8 piece chef's choice nigiri for $35. Everything was an amazing one bite. Such a great assorted of nigiri. Of course you can't go wrong with the chu toro - medium fatty tuna. We usually don't get any rolls but they recommended the salmon truffle roll $19 and I'm so glad we got it. So much flavor of yuzu truffle oil and kizami wasabi. Lastly we got two hand rolls to finish before dessert. We got the Wagyu hand roll and negi toro hand roll. Both $12 each. They had its own hand roll stand, so you know it's about to be a great few bites. It was my first Wagyu hand roll and I definitely will order it again if I don't want fish. The garlic soy, scallion, and wasabi was delicious with a multiple bites of Wagyu. As for the negi toro hand roll. Lots of toro and I loved that each of the hand rolls has a nori back to it so nothing falls out. Everything was a great fish to rice ratio. The restaurant is so clean! Their chopsticks are good quality and gave us a wet towel to clean our hands to start. Water is great too. I can't wait to go again with friends to try their omakase next week! Thank you so much Fillet Sushi for not knowing but hosting an overdue date night for my man and I. I will come back to review for the omakase! I can't wait! read more

I have to say I was surprised to see so many glowing reviews as I thought the freshness of the ingredients and taste of the fish were just very average. My fiancé and I came for dinner and each ordered the 8 pcs Chef's Choice Nigiri for $36 and shared a cut Negi Toro roll for $18. Not one piece had that "melt in your mouth" quality so I was a bit disappointed. The Negi Toro roll on the other hand was delicious but definitely on the pricier end. Our server was friendly and poured our sake for us, but he should have shaken it first as we got an unfiltered sake. The layers were separated and the rice sediment had settled on the bottom. The restaurant was clean and had a modern minimalist vibe. There are lots of free parking lots in Old Town Monrovia so that's always a plus. Unfortunately, can't say that I'll be back, I'd rather go to sugarfish instead. read more

Fillet Sushi - Birthday Dessert! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Monrovia, California

I recently visited Fillet Restaurant for sushi, and the food quality was excellent. I sat at the sushi bar, where Chef T. was preparing the dishes. It happened to be a quiet day, with only three guests at the bar, so the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Chef T. was very polite and attentive. He introduced us to different types of sushi and timed the serving perfectly according to each person's pace and preferences -- this was what impressed me the most. Since we went on a Sunday during happy hour, the prices were very reasonable, and we had a wonderful dining experience. I ordered the Tuna Tataki Roll and the Crazy Salmon Roll, while my husband and son each ordered an eight-piece chef's choice sushi set. The fish was incredibly fresh and well-seasoned. Everything was so delicious that I ended up ordering four more pieces of sushi à la carte. I was so focused on enjoying them that I completely forgot to take photos! The yellowtail was my absolute favorite. Overall, Fillet Restaurant offers top-quality sushi, excellent service, and great value. Highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, authentic, and well-prepared sushi. read more

I had an amazing dining experience at Fillet Sushi! Everything I ordered was top-notch, from the food to the service. The Wagyu Roll was absolutely delicious--rich, buttery, and packed with flavor. The vegetable tempura was perfectly crispy without being greasy, and the agadeshi tofu had that perfect balance of crispy exterior and silky interior, soaking up the flavorful broth beautifully. The gyoza were well-seasoned, with a great pan-seared crisp. To top it all off, I enjoyed a cold Suntory lager, which paired perfectly with the meal. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the entire experience even better. If you're looking for high-quality sushi, great Japanese dishes, and outstanding service, Fillet Sushi is definitely worth a visit! Can't wait to come back. Round 2: I don't eat fish. Never been a fan. But on my second visit to Fillet, our server recommended the Truffle Salmon Roll with so much confidence that I figured, fine, let's see what happens! What happened was me questioning my entire stance on fish. It was rich, buttery, and packed with truffle flavor--so good that for a moment, I forgot I was eating salmon. Fillet is now two for two on delivering great food and amazing service. Am I suddenly a fish person? No. But I'm definitely a Truffle Salmon Roll person! read more

Fillet Sushi is easily one of the best new spots in Monrovia. My wife and I came here twice for dinner and were impressed, but today I went with my buddy Mike for lunch and it sealed the deal--this place is 5 stars. We both ordered the Fillet Sushi lunch ($48) which is a complete experience: miso soup, salad, five pieces of premium nigiri, a salmon chirashi bowl, and two skewers (wagyu beef and chicken). The soup and salad were good, but the real stars were the nigiri--each piece perfectly balanced, lightly sauced, and literally melted in the mouth. The salmon chirashi bowl was packed with buttery salmon, sesame rice, and excellent roe. By the time we got to the skewers, we were already wowed, but those were next-level--tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. We finished with a little soy cream on a waffle dish that was the perfect sweet bite to close out an incredible meal. Chef Tee and team are doing something special here. Highly recommended. read more
