    In comparison to other AYCE sushi spots that I've been to I would rate this one in the middle as "okay." It wasn't bad but I can't say it was exceptional either. For $39 per person for AYCE I've had better at other sushi spots. First off they don't really have sashimi for ayce, you have to pay $1 extra per piece which is kind of a bummer at least for all sashimi besides salmon. We opted to get a bunch of regular sushi pieces instead and I would say the quality is between okay and good. None of the fish had a fishy taste which is a thumbs up for me. The rice was okay, some pieces of sushi held together while others did not. I will say I enjoyed the ambiance at this place. They have a cute design and the restaurant itself is fairly small, like 8-10 tables or so. In terms of service, it was decent though they forgot about 3-4 dishes in total from my placed order. It definitely got annoying to flag them down to check so note to double check with the waiter so they circle everything so you won't have to wait for an order that isn't coming. Overall the experience was good, I enjoyed the food and what not though I personally probably won't be back because I feel there are so many better spots. Note - They also give ice cream for AYCE though it's not on the menu so be sure to ask! I got a chocolate ice cream with no extra charge. Parking - It's okay they have a lot but it's shared lot next to like a car shop so plenty of cars just parked around. I took the last spot so you might have to park on the street.

    I came here for AYCE lunch. This place is so cute, and the food was great. The chef and server were very nice and attentive. I will definitely be visiting again soon. I found the octopus very tasty, I liked it better than most places I've tried.

    Sushi FIRE is right! They live up to their name! Service was friendly, quick and efficient, the ambience was really cute! Very unassuming, indoor and outdoor seating. It's located right next to a vehicle service center but there's an entire row of parking reserved for the restaurant. The food was amazing! 10/10 recommend and will def be coming again!

    I'm on the hunt of trying sushi restaurants in the surrounding areas in Duarte and Monrovia to find a place to be a regular at. This was not it unfortunately compared to quality of fish that I'm looking for. We had the option of AYCE but didn't want to eat everything after the items we tried. For $40 for AYCE it's a good value for some people. But i'm here for quality not quantity of sushi. Server said it was a better deal for AYCE so we tried it out. There were a good amount of people here for a Thursday night. 2 solo gentlemen and another couple at the bar with this and another family sitting at the table. There's about 7-8 tables and 10 bar seats altogether. Even though it was AYCE nothing stood out to me that I had to eat again or want to come here again. Sushi was okay. Lots of rice in the hand rolls and sushi. Which I guess is normal for AYCE. I had to ask to refill water a few times. When my water cup was done and I got tired of asking I was done with the meal. There's just better places out there. Nothing special here.

    This place was amazing!!!! The ambiance is super chill and relaxed. The fish all fresh and not overly packed with rice. Kudos to the sushi chef, who were also helping serve!Outstanding! The service we received from Ivy, despite having a full tables, was above and beyond & price was also fantastic!

    Service was outstanding. Ivy was my server and she was super nice, attentive, and went the extra mile. Sushi/kitchen staff were very efficient. Ambience was really really nice. I sat outside and it was a cool night. Sushi was good, but not the best I ever had, but still satisfactory for me. $39.99 AYCE sushi or $49.99 AYCE premium sushi. Parking can be an issue during the daytime so get ready to park on streets.

    Cute sushi place in a convenient location. Parking here is very easy and plenty of space. Server was friendly and the service was quick, food didn't take long to come out. The sushi was delicious, the all you can eat has a decent sized menu (only on Sat and Sunday). Def would come here again and a great spot for great tasting sushi!!

    Inside Sushi Fire restaurant

    When you get inside this place , You will feel happy with the bright colors and pictures inside and all arrange neatly . The drums and cats pictures are around the place. They have a little Cherry Blossom corner too! Food is really good . Price is reasonable to those delicious rolls we ordered! Ivi is the lady that served us . Its her first day without anybody assisting her and she did a good job! Always happy, courteous and attentive to our needs. I give this place a perfect 10 !

They forgot entirely to bring my daughter's drink, did not bring everyone's order out even close to about at the same time (it was a large party of 7) and the server misidentified my meal so I thought they got it wrong. The chicken katsu curry and sushi were ok, but the ramen my daughter got had a strange flavor (we've had a lot of ramen) and my salmon shioyaki was not made the right way. Salmon shioyaki should be salted and grilled or broiled. The cut of salmon was wrong and it didn't taste salted at all, more like a piece of teriyaki salmon with the sauce scraped off. Lesson learned is that it's called Mikomi Sushi, so definitely stick with the sushi if you dine here. The atmosphere is nice with high ceilings and beautiful lighting and everyone working there is nice, I just found the experience disappointing and regretted that I didn't go to another Japanese restaurant.

Sushi Deluxe Set: I personally prefer the 10 piece over the 12 piece. The additional two pieces are uni and ikura, and for me they aren't really worth the extra $10. The quality is consistently good, and the negitoro roll surprisingly exceeded my expectations! The set itself is also filling enough for dinner. The closest sushi spot I'd compare it to is Sushi Kisen (for sushi deluxe set not Omakase), and I'd say they're pretty on par in terms of quality. Omakase: Since there aren't many places offering omakase in the immediate area, this is a great option if you want to treat someone for a special occasion without having to venture far. I really liked the diversity of the menu and that the experience wasn't limited to just nigiri. Overall, a really solid neighborhood sushi spot that I've enjoyed enough to keep coming back considering if you don't want to drive far into LA for omakase.

I arrived twenty-five minutes later and observed that the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. There were three groups of people sitting and dining at numerous tables. I advised the female employee that I was there to pick up my order. After confirming my name, the employee said it would be a few more minutes while my orange roll was being made--no problem, I stated. I noticed a white, plastic-sealed bag containing six to seven rolls in plastic containers, sitting on the counter, ready for pickup. I asked the employee if that was my order. She checked the name on the receipt and advised that it was not my order. Ok, no problem, I stated. I waited, and waited, and waited some more. Fifteen to twenty minutes went by, and still, no sushi. The lone female employee was taking phone orders and handed two customers who had also been waiting for their orders. I glanced at the receipt attached to the bag that was resting on the counter, ready for pick up Unless someone else ordered the exact rolls I had ordered (4 CA rolls, one crunch roll, and one orange roll), this WAS my order. I asked the employee to please double-check my order, as I believed this order, which had been sitting on the counter the entire time, was, in fact, mine. The employee confirmed my name and advised, "Oh yes, this is your order. I made a mistake". She handed me my order, and I was gone. I was not upset about having to wait for my order, but I do wish the employee had checked the receipt attached to my bag more clearly the first time around. Oh well, stuff happens.
