What to order
Don't overthink it.
Eat in SGV StaffBay Scallop Sushi
Start with thisSweet scallop was the star here. The pieces were small, but the light amount of rice kept the scallop in focus.
Eat in SGV StaffSashimi Platter
Scallop and yellowtail were our favorites, with thick salmon close behind. The fish arrived chilled over ice with a soft, clean texture.
Eat in SGV StaffAssorted Sashimi
A broad selection for trying several cuts at once. Quality was strongest with tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, though the thickness was inconsistent and the octopus was chewy.
Eat in SGV StaffSpicy Salmon Hand Roll
Moderately spicy with a noticeable kick and one of the better later-round orders. It carries more rice than the nigiri and cut rolls.
Eat in SGV StaffSpicy Scallop Hand Roll
Sweet scallop under a moderately spicy sauce. This and the spicy salmon hand roll were the two hand rolls we would order again.
Eat in SGV StaffMonrovia Roll
Salmon, tuna, ripe avocado, imitation crab, and thin rice made a good base, but the spicy mayo and other sauces overwhelmed the fish for us.
Eat in SGV StaffWagyu Roll
Crunchy cucumber, creamy avocado, shrimp, and beef with a sweet, lightly peppery teriyaki drizzle. Enjoyable overall, though the beef flavor was subtle.
Eat in SGV StaffSpecialty Roll Spread
The Monrovia and Wagyu rolls arrived with careful presentation and relatively thin rice. Both were sauce-forward, so this spread suits diners who like sweeter, creamier rolls.
Eat in SGV StaffSalmon Nigiri
Sweet salmon in small, easy-to-pace pieces. The fish was good, though the sushi rice could have used more vinegar.
Eat in SGV StaffSashimi Salad
Salmon, tuna, and other sashimi over greens made a refreshing break from rice-heavy orders. We liked it and only wished the serving were larger.
Eat in SGV StaffTakoyaki
Our order looked tempura-crisp outside but was mushy and undercooked inside. This was not a repeat order for us.
Eat in SGV StaffSalmon Skin Cut Roll
The salmon skin in our roll was stale and difficult to chew. This was the clearest skip from the visit.

"Start with the scallop, yellowtail, and spicy salmon hand roll. The fish quality was the pleasant surprise, but the experience had real misses too: our takoyaki was mushy, the salmon-skin roll was tough, and specialty rolls leaned heavily on sauce. On a busy night, send the next order while you are still eating."
