The place is beautiful and classy. Felt relax dining in. The service was fast, friendly, and the server recommended some wonderful dishes! We had other selections of food but we already ate it before we took a bit so we luckily had these we took. But the food was fresh and the quality was fantastic. The fish was glistening and soft, and refreshing as well. Love this place and please go support them!! They're awesome! read more

We just had the most personable and memorable sushi experience we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every staff member made us feel like we were in for something special--and they were absolutely right. The fish was incredibly fresh and of the highest quality.

Their expertise and passion were evident in every bite. What truly set this experience apart was the hospitality and interaction with the chefs. They were not only masters of their craft but also personable and engaging, making the evening feel intimate and elevated all at once.

Amazing new gem in old town Monrovia! I'm so happy that my husband and I found this spot recently and everything that it has to offer. Two sushi chefs were trained by the best of the best sushi restaurants in LA, Osawa and Matsuhisa. I love how they brought what they have known and make it their own. They have an extensive menu from donburi to sushi/sashimi to kushiyaki! My husband and I did the $95 omakase set and it came with appetizer, 10 piece nigiri, egg custard, soup, and dessert. Oh my was it a steal!! I would definitely be coming back!! Thanks Bobby for the best meal on a Thursday evening :) read more

If you're searching for the best sushi in Monrovia, Fillet Sushi is easily one of the top spots right now. I've tried multiple places across the SGV, and this is one of the few that actually delivers both quality and consistency. The fish is fresh, the flavors are clean, and the overall experience feels more refined than your typical neighborhood sushi restaurant. What makes this place stand out as one of the best sushi spots in SGV is the balance -- it's not overly traditional, but it's also not overloaded with sauces like a lot of casual sushi places. Highlights: Excellent service High-quality nigiri with clean execution Fresh fish that actually tastes premium A few creative dishes that still respect traditional technique Comfortable, modern vibe without being too formal If you're looking for best sushi near Monrovia or even best sushi in SGV, this place should definitely be on your list. read more

Super simple, clean designed restaurant. The hubby loves sushi so we had to stop by. Came on a Friday evening when they just opened. The employee who helped us was super accommodating because we brought our baby. He also gave fantastic suggestions. I had the grilled chicken which was delish I scarfed it down. The hubby loves the bluefin tuna sashimi and a roll with lobster. My fav dish at sushi is to order the spicy tuna crispy rice for appetizer. Ot was served deconstructed which was kindof weird. Got a huge portion of tuna but not enough rice and it was hard to assemble. He loved them! Comparable prices for good quality sushi/ read more

Fillet Sushi - Croissant Bread Pudding - Sushi Bars Near Me - Monrovia, California

Romantic Friday night dinner ruined by extremely rude family with wild screaming toddlers. Fillet Sushi manager and waiter were asked to restore calm for the $100 meal but did nothing, indicating powerlessness as the loud family are friends of the owner. My partner and I then asked for our meal to be wrapped for take away to which the chef dumped our sushi, tempura into a box as if garbage. No pride in presentation. The restaurant is expensive and the sushi we had was no better than Trader Joe's. I doubt this restaurant will survive more than three months if its management can't maintain a calm dining atmosphere. Apparently the rude family are Friday night "regulars" so avoid dining at Fillet Sushi from 6-8 pm on Fridays. read more

Cute new place in downtown Monrovia. Service was on point. Servers were very attentive. Spicy tuna on crispy rice was very tasty and delicious. I also ordered the ponzu and caviar oysters. The oysters were over priced and disgusting. I was very disappointed in them especially for the caviar oysters. $11 a pop and not worth a penny. Willing to try other items on menu but definitely just came here for the oysters but it was a fail. read more

Fillet is hands down the best sushi in Monrovia. The chefs here Bobby and T are the best. Everything they make is incredible. Fish quality is ultra fresh and the hot food menu is also solid. You can tell the people running this restaurant pride themselves on an authentic experience that still also caters to the modern California customer (such as myself, haha). The restaurant is super clean, restrooms clean, and bar clean. Everything is in top notch form. Waiters are awesome and super friendly too. Very attentive and always there to help you out with menu suggestions, etc. I am quite the sushi fiend, so I'm very picky about the places I give 5 stars and this place takes it easily. Fillet is the perfect storm of skilled chefs, awesome staff, and above all, very delicious and high quality sushi. I thoroughly recommend this place to anyone in town. If you're looking for something a cut above the fast casual spots on Myrtle, give this place a shot. read more

Interior: nice decoration and goof ambiance Service: Great service Food: Got the omakase around 80 not including tax and tip and that included appetizer and desert. I don't mind spending a bit more when they use good quality ingredients. DELICIOUS and presentation is great. Would take my friends here if they want to appreciate good sushi with good flavor.

I love sushi and so excited for this new place to join old town monrovia! I remember seeing their menu on the window and was intrigued by the simplicity of it. Fillet sushi took over the old sushi kuni location with a more upscale vibe. I ordered lunch to go and I could tell this place was focused on giving the freshest dish with a beautiful aesthetic through its garnishing. Food was made to order with a very reasonable wait time. The pricing is higher end but I felt that it matched the quality that they provided. My family enjoyed the lunch menu. We ordered the yellowtail roll, yellowtail bowl, hand roll lunch set, and the miso black cod lunch set. All of it tasted delicious and I can't wait to go try it in person seated next time. read more

I came here while wedding dress shopping for some light bites before our next stop. The staff were all super nice and asked me about my wedding and how the shopping was going. I also told them we only had an hour so they were able to get our food orders in very quickly to accommodate that. All the food was spectacular. They had a roll with mustard and vinegar flavors with crunchy onions on top that was so awesome. We also had a roll with apples instead of rice and seaweed, this one came out first and was super light and refreshing. It was the perfect roll to start with. We got another spicy roll which was also very good. And we got a truffle flavored appetizer of sashimi which was super delicious and we all loved. The restaurant was also clean, spacious, with a modern feel. Everything we had here was delicious and I'm hoping to return sometime in the future! The menu had some really fun desserts that we were not able to try this time. read more

Everyone.. stop what you are doing and straight up go to fillet sushi. It's an amazing joint by Chef T that offers what is considered traditional sushi. Their menu is exquisite and honestly their customer service is on top of it. I never really review anything but I have to give it to the team here. I went there twice and left blown away both times. Top recommendation: get the fillet omakase. Top solo recommendation: pecorino truffle read more

Really great experience. Enjoyed the vibe and the food was delicious. Our waiter was very thorough in explaining all the sushi we ordered.

***** Hidden Gem Alert! ***** Fillet in Monrovia is a MUST-TRY for sushi lovers! Atmosphere: This place is bright and airy with a beautiful, long sushi bar. You can watch the two owner-chefs (who've trained in top sushi spots in Beverly Hills and Pasadena!) work their magic. Service: The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. My green tea was constantly refilled before I even had a chance to think about it. Food: I've had the lunch Omakase twice now. The first time, I noticed some issues with the rice (it happens with new restaurants!). I mentioned it to Chef Tee, and I was blown away by how quickly he addressed it. He switched suppliers and within DAYS the rice was perfect. Now, about the sushi...WOW. As someone who's a bit of a sushi snob, I was a little hesitant about a non-Japanese owned sushi restaurant. But let me tell you, Fillet blew me away. If you've been to Yui, this place is giving them a run for their money. Each piece of nigiri is thoughtfully prepared with unique flavor combinations that perfectly complement the fish. Pecorino cheese on sushi? Trust me, it works! Chef Tee makes EVERYTHING from scratch, including the sauces, desserts, and even his own anago (sea eel) from the whole fish, which is incredibly rare and SO delicious (NOT FROM FROZEN!). You can taste the dedication and passion in every bite. Summary: Highly, highly recommend Fillet! It's a little hard to find (the signage could be better), and they don't have their liquor license yet, but don't let that deter you. Go for the amazing sushi and enjoy the fantastic service. You won't be disappointed! read more

Loved everything about this place! The food, the service, the quaint vibes throughout the restaurant. We're stoked to go back again soon.

Tried this tonight for the first time with my bestie and it was great. We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed watching the sushi chef's prepare our food. Our waiter was super sweet too. I didn't catch his name. The sushi was fresh and so good. Top pick was the salmon belly with chili crunch and miso cod. Check out the photos to see everything we tried. read more

As a sushi lover and fellow Monrovian, took my daughter here for dinner. Another premium sushi spot for Monrovia and SGV! Hands down best in the city and possibly SGV. Price is higher than the usual sushi spot but this is what's expected when the sushi is fresh and well executed. I would say they are in the same quality as Sugarfish but with even more variety. Sasabune would be the closest comp but now without the need for that long drive! Both food and staff were awesome! Love the clean esthetics of the restaurant build as well. I look forward to coming back more often! read more

Had an amazing experience at Fillet Sushi with Chef T. Everything was incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The otoro was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and Chef T's recommendations were spot on throughout the meal. The uni shooters were a standout--rich, flavorful, and such a fun experience to try. You can really tell there's care and skill behind every dish. Overall, it was an unforgettable sushi experience and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We had such a great experience here and have to give a special shoutout to our sushi chef, Ping. From start to finish, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. The nigiri was absolutely delicious ! Fresh, clean, and perfectly prepared. I ordered the 8-piece nigiri, and every piece was spot on. My son went all in with the 15-piece sashimi, and it was just as impressive. You can really tell when a chef takes pride in their craft, and Ping definitely does. This was one of those meals where you're already planning your next visit before you even leave. Highly recommend if you appreciate quality sushi and great service! read more

This is by far the best sushi around. They have been open almost 1 year, but I've only recently discovered them within the last couple months. The whole place is very welcoming with great service. They have an incredible menu with thoughtful dishes and quality fish! Even items you see on many menus have a slightly different take and are really tasty, but I also recommend trying dishes you don't see on many menus. I've been several times and haven't tried anything I don't like so far. I also really appreciate their carefully curated sauces for each dish. They don't just have ponzu sauce, but several varieties to match flavor profiles. The chefs attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed. Some major highlights: -Chawanmushi -Miso black cod lettuce wrap -Wagyu roll -Rainbow crunch roll -Fire albacore roll -Crispy okra Desserts: -Bread pudding -soy sauce ice cream -honey toast read more

Would've rated this place 5 stars because the sushi is good but when I get the bill and they sneak in an 18% service fee I've got a problem it's that. If you're gonna do something like that you should inform the customer before he orders. Sneaky and dishonest in my opinion and won't be back. read more

The timing and selection of each dish was also perfection. The sushi chefs and the host / server know how to take care of their guests - naturally intuitive and very thoughtful. We were so impressed and so happy we chose to celebrate our anniversary here. After dinner we decided to visit regularly as a form of self care haha!

My wife and I came here to try their omakase. I had done some research and saw this place recommended. I'm glad we gave it a try because the experience was excellent. The quality and presentation were top notch, and every piece was thoughtfully prepared. The taste was excellent across the board. What made the experience even better was the service. The owner herself served us and was incredibly friendly and attentive the entire time. It felt personal and welcoming without being overbearing.

Food was amazing and the service made the experience even better. Stephanie our server is super sweet, very professional and very informative. My parter and I are very excited to continue as regulars at this establishment. Could not even begin to describe the quality of the food. Nigiri and rolls we ordered required no additional sauces. Made to perfection. Croissant pudding with soy sauce ice cream recommended by Stephanie gave the best finishing touches to satisfy our palate. Thank you again for giving us the most friendly and delicious experience. read more
