    The food was really good, but the atmosphere wasn't what I expected. For the price, I thought it would feel a little more elevated. The paper tablecloth and menus made the experience feel cheaper than expected, especially for a graduation meal. I noted on the reservation that it was a celebration, but nothing about the experience really felt special. I'd still eat here again, but probably not for a special occasion.

    Menu for happy hour

    They do a pretty good set of food for Happy Hour. Maybe slightly pricier than other places but they have alot of sushi rolls on the menu. Service is good. Opens at 330, but people seemed to start rolling in around 4-430pm. Parking is good except on Wednesday when they do the club night. I liked the Gyoza alot and thought the sushi was good. Not pictured is pad thai, which was a dinner menu item and not a happy hour item. That was so-so, their version has a sauce which tasted good but wasn't what I was expecting.

    This place never disappoints! The food is always amazing and so fresh. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the wait staff are consistently kind and attentive. Some of my absolute favorites: the Ming shrimp and lettuce wraps (so crispy and flavorful, perfect starters!), the sizzling rice soup (my #1 go-to), and the steak and chicken dishes, which are always cooked perfectly. Honestly, I can't even pick a favorite dish because everything is so good. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, great service, and a great vibe!

    Service was great our waiter was Ramone. Driven past here for years never knowing what was inside. My husband had the Egg Foo Yung with pork. Everything was delicious including the drinks. No waiting... I made a reservation because it was the day before Valentines but it was such a surprise how wonderful. Cannot wait to go back! It's such a vibe dark and cool music playing... loved it

    Top level Asian fusion / Chinese / Japanese restaurant owned by generations of the Chinese family (where Gloria Chin, the Hollywood actress belonged to but not the same Chin's where Vincent Chin hailed from. Interior vibe very cool with very awesome paintings on the wall; there are also stylish areas for sitting outside and in atriums. The Kim chi crabcakes were exceptional and the spicy seafood noodles were also very good. Service also very attentive. Highly recommended!

    Sizzling Hong Kong Filet
    Ranyia T.

    The vibe is always nice and relaxed but upbeat. The server and hostess were very nice. We had the Zen roll, sizzling rice soup to start. The roll was okay nothing special. The soup was great, very flavorful. The Chilean Sea Bass in Banana leaf didn't come out in the banana leaf but it tasted amazing with the curry sauce. The vegetables were cooked to with great snap to them. The Hong Kong sizzling filet was very tasty. The Sapporo Beer was better than the vodka tonic, it was ice cold in A frosted mug. Perfect

    Shanghai Wednesdays

    Mon Jin Lau is a delicious Asian culinary experience. Sushi, Pad Thai, Chinese Classics, and steak are top notch. Plus they have a super club on Wednesdays with DJs and a upscale nightclub vibe.

    A few of us came to have dinner for a friend's birthday on a Saturday night. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance like we did because it was packed! Service was so kind and the menu is extensive. I didn't order any cocktails but I stole a couple of sips from my friends and they were very tasty and pretty strong! We all got some appetizers, I split the bali maki with my boyfriend. The presentation was neat and the meat was tender and the marinade was very yummy. We both got noodle dishes and they were very good with a lot of veggies and protein. It's a very pretty restaurant and they were decorated for Lunar New Year. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and they brought out ice cream with a sparkler and a mask for her to wear. Very fun and delicious experience!

    Our favorite sushi place by far!! Highly recommend!…read moreAwesome service!! Super fast! Shrimp shumai And REM ROLL are great. Very nice people!

    I've been wanting to try this spot for a while, so I ordered a little bit of everything: miso soup,…read moreTako Su, gyoza, shumai, sashimi appetizer, beef bibimbap, and two sushi rolls -- the S n T and White Tiger Roll. The miso soup came out first and was pretty standard. The Tako Su had large slices of octopus with plenty of cucumbers. It was decent, nothing standout. The gyoza was actually an accidental order because I thought I had ordered shumai. Looking back, I probably should've realized something was off when the server asked if I wanted them steamed or grilled. Ironically, they ended up being one of the better items. I took them home and even cold later on, they were still good. The sashimi appetizer had a nice variety and was probably one of the stronger dishes of the night. Unfortunately, the shumai completely missed the mark. It was very wet -- you can even see it in the photo -- and just not how shumai is supposed to be prepared. Personally, I think Asahi Sushi does this dish far better, including the sauce. The beef bibimbap was also disappointing for me. I love bibimbap served in a scorching hot stone bowl where the rice crisps up and caramelizes at the bottom. This lacked all of that. In my opinion, both Asahi Sushi and Sumo Sushi do bibimbap significantly better. If that's what you're craving, this wouldn't be my recommendation. As for the sushi rolls -- the S n T and White Tiger Roll -- they were just bland. Not terrible, not inedible, but very forgettable. Overall, my experience was okay, but nothing about it stood out enough to make me want to return. The servers were pleasant, but there were no recommendations or guidance offered, and the food never really moved beyond average. I ended up giving this place 2 stars for three main reasons: 1. The servers lacked recommendations or menu guidance. 2. The food overall was bland. 3. There are significantly better sushi options nearby. If you're looking for exceptional sushi, udon, and bibimbap, I'd personally recommend Asahi Sushi instead. It's only about 12 minutes away and, in my opinion, absolutely worth the drive for the quality, presentation, service, and overall experience.
