Like LA, a lot of good places are located in strip malls. Sushi Mon was recommended to me by friends but my first time eating the food was takeout and therefore not the all-you-can-eat everyone talks about.
Maybe I'm a little spoiled but the appearance of my sushi lacked uniformity. You could see what pieces were the end of the rolls because they were short on stuffing/ fish. The rolls fell apart in my chopsticks and in my fingers. This was definitely finger-eating sushi but for the wrong reasons.
Quality was good though. I did enjoy the flavor of the sushi rice and the fish was fresh. I'll go back again because it's my local joint.
I must add though, the dining room is small and don't be a fool like one guy I saw who came in thinking he could get a table for 10 without a reservation. "Sir, it will be an hour and a half wait."
"What?! Why's that? This is a special occasion for us!" He retorted scanning a packed room with not one empty table.
"Well sir, all of these people here are ahead of you and waiting for a table," said the hostess gesturing to alllllllll the people waiting inside and outside....
