We had a great meal at Hikari Sushi in Montrose. We ordered the Salmon Skin Salad, Giant Roll, and Salmon Egg (Ikura) Sushi. Everything was delicious. The Salmon Skin Salad was really good and pretty large, the Giant Roll was tasty, and the Salmon Egg Sushi was a nice addition to the meal. Overall, a great spot for sushi when you're in Montrose. On a side note, they have a special going on which is 20% off specialty rolls and sushi. read more

Giving a five star review for the service I got. My server was very nice and had great recommendations. I started with Garlic Edamame and it was spot on. A bit saucy, the right amount of spice to start my dinner. I ordered the Mixed Carpaccio and Unagi sushi. I'm impressed that the salmon tastes fresh and juicy. The fatty tuna was pretty solid too. Hats off to the sushi chef for boldly adding a strip of unagi that might've been tossed if he didn't add it on my plate. So it's like I got something for free :) the hot sake was really hot! Paired well with the carpaccio actually. I wish I tried their "handmade wasabi" but I opted for the complimentary table wasabi that didn't even disappoint. The only feedback I have is that I wish they didn't play an AI dance playlist and maybe a more intimate lighting. I would've enjoyed my solo date even more if that were the case. Otherwise, I can't chop off any stars since restaurants is all about good food and friendly service IMHO. Will come back. Maybe for lunch when there's less lighting :) read more

I've raved multiple times about the food here and as we're sitting here at the restaurant I wanted to also do a big shoutout to the awesome staff. In particular, Ji Woo! She has the best memory! Thank you Ji Woo for always taking care of us and making us feel so special to be at your awesome sushi restaurant. You not only remember our faces but also what we like to order. Per usual, we had the most amazing rolls including the Alex roll but of course. Pls see my previous review for the breakdown. We also added yellowtail delight and energy and jamming rolls to the mix. Our typical go tos baked crawfish, rainbow, Philadelphia and dragon. Yummmmm the new ones r probably gonna be our regular ones too as they were delicious. We also tried the avocado with soy paper, perfect for kids or toddlers. Thank u all! Especially Ji Woo once again. We had an amazing dinner and we'll be back soon! Also, ambience is a perfect sushi establishment setting. Always lively and fun! read more

We have been coming here for years, and the food is amazing, always fresh. This year we celebrated my hubby's 51st bday in their Karaoke room & everything was exceptional- party of 10. I recommend it if your group likes to Kareoke, we had a blast! Shout out to Valerie, she was courteous, funny, anticipated our needs- she made the dinner a memorable experience. The food was delicious, and served quickly but they and they didn't rush us to finish. We celebrated from 6pm-9pm and we look forward to the next party. read more

Fantastic sushi. Beats all other sushi places in the area. Portion sizes are big unlike others, and I have to say they are the best tasting.

I've been coming here for years and honestly the food is great quality for the price. Definitely the best sushi restaurant in the montrose area. Service is quick waiters get you seated and checkup on you through your meal, food comes really quickly. The music in the background is a nice vibe. Overall a solid sushi spot. Would recommend if you're in the area read more

Hikari Sushi - I got to much food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Montrose, California

I was really excited to bring my boyfriend here to try it for the first time. I used to come here a lot when I attended the college around the corner, so I was looking forward to sharing a place I enjoyed. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. There were only two of us, but we felt overlooked. A group of about ten people seated next to us arrived after we did and received service while we were still waiting. It was frustrating to see a much larger party being taken care of when we couldn't get served. We waited about 30 plus minutes for one roll until I eventually said never mind we don't want it . While the party next to us kept getting served I understand restaurants get busy, but every table deserves attention regardless of the party size. I had good memories of this place, which made this experience even more disappointing but they should treat people equally read more

Service was great; the staff are courteous and efficient. Clean restaurant, nice atmosphere, plenty of parking. The food was tasty enough. I felt like they got carried away with the spicy mayo on my Red Dragon roll. The Washington Roll was my favorite with its delicate application of ponzu sauce. Overall, the fish was fresh. However, the rice was hard on my spicy tuna roll. My kids loved the desserts, which appear to be on consignment. Honestly, I've had better sushi at other establishments and paid less. That won't deter me from coming back if I"m in Montrose and craving sushi. read more

Hikari Sushi exceeded all expectations! Every piece of sushi and sashimi was incredibly fresh, with rich flavor and beautiful presentation. The premium cuts practically melted in my mouth, and you can tell they use high-quality fish. The miso soup was warm and comforting, the salad was crisp with a delicious dressing, and the spring roll was perfectly crispy. The restaurant was clean and the service was VERY friendly and attentive throughout the meal. If you're looking for fresh, authentic sushi at a great value, Hikari Sushi is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

All our years in this area.. never knew! My daughter graduated and we wanted a new spot for her fav, sushi. They were able to accommodate our family of 11. We had no idea that they had a special karaoke room!! They offered and we accepted!! The main dining was busy too. What a fantastic and fun room! Since we all would never sing in front of strangers, I can't show you our wild experience! lol! But let me tell you, we sang ! So, the food, the staff, the whole crew, AMAzING F'n Lovely people! They were perfection. Thx to Jin, thx to our lovely server, the chefs!! Wow. We sang our azzzes off and had so much fun. The food was so delish and made with love. Btw- my husband and I scored 100 singing Guns n Roses on karaoke!!! Ohhh yeahhhh!! This one s our new fav spot!!! read more

I heard great things about this place from friends. So I thought why not try it? Is early evening on a Thursday night and we walk in to a bit of a hectic situation. We waited for about five minutes then we're seated. It took a little bit for the server to come to our table because I believe they're shortstaffed. We're all hungry so I didn't want to wait to order so we just ordered right away. We got an order of salmon sashimi, a few albacore and salmon hand rolls, the Sunkist role, and the cucumber special roll. I have to say that the food came out fairly quick and was delicious. The portion sizes on the food were fairly large compared to other restaurants that I've been to. My Wife said that the baked mussel that we ordered for an appetizer was probably one of the best she's had ever. So you're probably wondering why I docked one star... Well, in the middle of our dinner we heard from afar, on the other side of the restaurant, a man yelling out of frustration that he's doing his best and people need to be patient. The whole restaurant went silent wondering what's going on. I have to say, when I first entered the restaurant, I instantly got the feeling that either their staff was not trained properly for a restaurant, or that they were understaffed. The man yelling later into our dinner was clearly a confirmation of this. Overall, I have to say that the food was delicious. There was literally not one thing that we complained about when he came to the food. The staff was extremely kind and courteous. Service with a smile to the tee. I hope that the existing employees either get proper training, or get additional help, whichever was needed. Regardless of the situation, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I want to start off by saying this place is LOUD. I asked twice if they could turn down the music. I couldn't hear my friend and we were both annoyed. Secondly, they wouldn't allow my friend to order the kids meal because she wasn't that hungry. Seriously? I would have been OK with it had the food been good but it was clearly old fish!!! The salmon teriyaki had a fishy taste to it and the nigiri tasted old. Do yourself a favor and go to rice and nori up the street - they're EONS better!!!! read more

Hikari Sushi is an absolute standout. The sushi is incredibly fresh every time, and the owner and staff are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. They make you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. The nigori is always served ice cold and perfect. The kids food is another reason we keep coming back. It does not taste like the microwave style chicken or the low quality beef you get at some sushi places. Everything tastes fresh, cooked properly, and made with real care, which is a huge win when you are dining with kids. If you go, make sure to try the Las Vegas roll. It is warm and creamy with amazing salmon inside and has a crispy rice exterior that makes it next level. We always leave happy. It is easily one of our favorite spots and a true gem in the area. read more

Went with family while visiting Cali and they did not disappoint. The service was amazing, it's a nice size retainer i had a stroller and they seated us at the back so we are not in the way. We got few rolls and sashimi and they were all great. Would defiantly go back on my next visit. read more

Ambiance and service was great! Food was even better!! Spicy Shrimp hand roll to their specialty rolls and sushi. Very fresh and very premium tasting. Every sushi you order came with an extra piece of fish. Baked mussels were fresh and full of flavor. This will be our new sushi spot. And most importantly when other places are closed during the afternoon (sushi places are famous for closing during the day a few hours) this place is open. Even the music choice matched the place. Totally not a paid review. Just really good sushi and flavors. read more

Overall 10 out of 5. Amazing service, atmosphere, food. I really enjoyed this place. Highly recommended!!!

WE GOT FOOD POISONING HERE. I went there with a friend yesterday and not only were we ignored by staff, but they forgot our drinks and when we asked for it, they responded that they were out. Which was so weird that they didn't just tell us that, we had to ask where our stuff was? But the worst part has been the past day and a half puking my brains out. I am not sure what gave us the food poisoning, I'm assuming the stuffed peppers in the appetizer since we shared that item. read more

I have been coming to Hikari Sushi in Montrose with my family for almost a decade now. The service is always excellent, the restaurant itself is well decorated and always kept clean and maintained. Jin and his staff are always caring and on the spot, and theres always great conversation to be had. That's everything great I have to say before talking about the food. The sushi chef line behind the bar counter is always bringing precise craft and beautiful sushi to the table, literally and rhetorically. The rest of the menu is good too, but if i'm honest I mostly eat the sushi rolls and the sashimi. Thank you for the care Jin and thank you all at Hikari Sushi for a fantastic spot to eat and drink. Cheers! read more

This has always been my go-to sushi...until today. My hubby and I go to this place on special occasions. We had miso, sashimi and cucumber sushi. 30-40 min later, both are sick to our stomachs, cramps, feel light-headed. No more going there. read more

I have been coming here for YEARS. I don't know why I never reviewed it. Here's my honest opinion. Pros; Quality and taste. Fresh fish. Easy parking. Friendly service. Great menu. Cons: I don't really like the layout and seating. Booths look crammed. Decor is outdated. Overall this place could be the best sushi place in town. Just wish that would up the class a bit. I guess they don't need to because place is usually busy. But I would improve the look and seating. iMHO. read more

Easy to order party platters. Same day! Their ca rolls are a hit for any potluck and they are very generous with the ginger and wasabi. I placed an order that morning and it was ready for me when I asked for it. Parking is easy they have their own private lot. The assembly of the party platter is so neat and presentable with the lemon garnish and orchid. read more

This sushi place wasn't good I wouldn't recommend at all it's not fresh enough they need to upgrade asap very disappointed!

Food was excellent, service was good too. We went when they opened it had a relaxed vibe.

The ambience is amazing here, from the décor to the staff and the music. My friend and I just came from a hike and was craving sushi. She said she had been to this spot before and it has good sushi. It is in a nice area surrounded by other food places and a couple of shopping centers. Hikari's does share a parking lot and it was packed when I arrived. The parking lot is shared with other business, so I understood why it was packed. But back to the sushi, my friend did not disappoint. Before we ordered, our sever, Jin, was very engaging asking us how our day was and engaged in conversation with us. Very pleasant. He started us off with Jino's. We ordered the grape, peach, and strawberry flavors. I've never had one before and all three were delicious. It gives off a kind of alcoholic soda beverage taste. We then ordered the spicy salmon roll, Super Mexican Roll, Hot Night Roll and the In and out Shrimp roll. Everything was fresh, spicy but not too spicy and it was cooked perfectly, you could taste the different flavors in each roll. Ann, who was the sever who brought out our rolls, was also a ton of laughter's and fun. We stayed longer because of the good company as well as the good food. Definitely will be back. read more

Hikari is our favorite local sushi place. We always get takeout, so I can't speak to dining in. My favorite is their seared salmon sushi. They also have a good California roll and other specialty rolls. Staff are friendly and orders are usually ready in about 20 minutes. read more

Hikaru Sushi is a good local spot that I go to often. The food is consistently good, and the parking is easy, which is always a plus. The ambiance feels like a neighborhood place--not bad, but nothing that really wows you. Sometimes it gets busy, and when that happens, the workers seem overwhelmed, which can spill over into the overall experience. That said, it's still a very solid choice for sushi in the area, and I keep coming back. read more
