| - I have finally returned since writing my first Yelp review. I really love this place and really wanted the opportunity to review them. Tonight, I finally have that opportunity. I suggested this place to a friend of mine for some drinks and Japanese food.
I arrived at the location and to my surprise, it was empty! No line, no waiting, no headache. SCORE! I chose to sit at a table of two rather than the sushi bar. the tables are a little close from the others, however, I've learned to deal with that from my frequent past visits. The servers are clean, wear all black and really pays attention to the need of their customers. I appreciate them coming around often to fill up my water, or clearing any plates and debris from the table. Makes me feel special :)
Tonight my friend got a $10 Teriyaki chicken dinner plate. Added was my meal: A bowl of salted edamame, an appetizer of the Yellowtail collar, a bowl of the California salad, a larger Sapporo beer and a large hot sake. Everything mentioned above came to $52.00 with tax and ample tip. The edamame was lightly salted and not overpowering. It came out so warm, I was in heaven! My favorite thing, hands down, about Sushimon is the Yellowtail or Hamachi collar. Literally, a grilled piece of the fish collar area, close to the head. The collar is packed with fish meat, marbleized and full of smokey flavor goodness! This dish is served with a lemon wedge, a little fish roe and a soy-vinegar dipping sauce. I literally take my time on this dish. It's so good! Every bite offers such a euphoric experience for me, I became super sad on the last bite LOL. It was the first time I've tried the California salad. This was AH-MAZE-ING! Start off with a spring mix accompanied with a mustard/ginger dressing. On the top of the salad is sliced avocado, yum, shrimp and crab meat-lots of it! It was soo filling and so fresh. This is a must try in my book. The crab meat was everywhere, fanned out shrimp and long slivers of avocado. Every bite was better than the rest!
I had a great night here as I always tend to do. Lots of great food, great service and an intimate space that allows you to really enjoy the company around you. Definitely need to check this place out. It's in the middle of a busy part of town and super accessible. You will not be disappointed!!!
