Everything is very well organized despite the matter. Once you get seated your server asks everyone what they'd like to drink & if you'd like to order appetizers. Our server (I can't remember his name) did a very great job! The food is very pricey in the dinner time. I recommend being prepared to pay $20-38 for a 5-course meal. They don't let you order off the lunch menu during dinner Everything was very delicious. The chef was very funny & cooked everything perfectly.

The fried rice was really fluffy and flavorful. However the shrimp and steak were a bit overcooked (did not look like the photos).

The sushi was very fresh and the bento box was of a reasonable value. Though I still think the prices are a bit elevated because of its location. $19 Bento: chicken and squid: squid was perfectly cooked. Chicken was fine? Tempura was typical but good. $6 Mackerel: fresh and mild $8 Yellow tail: really delicious. Can eat again.

The bathroom was also pretty dirty, and the atmosphere felt chaotic with kids running around. As soon as we walked in kids were at our table.

It may have just been a busy day, but despite that, the food was still enjoyable.

There are SO MANY special rolls. A few of my favorites are the the hamachi daisuki, sour punch, and pinky pinky roll. I also love ordering a chef special that includes a mix of nigiri, rolls, or sashimi. You can't go wrong with anything you order here, all of the seafood is so fresh, and the fried food is delicious and crispy. The staff are all super friendly and welcome us back every time we visit. The restaurant has a lot of tables (mostly 4 tops), but I've seen them push tables together for larger groups (probably best to call ahead in that case). The decorations are cute, tasteful, and fun, with a mix of studio ghilbli images and samurai themed art. They are usually playing early 2000/2010 music hits which are familiar to me.

Most importantly, all the fish was fresh and the rolls were well made. The service was friendly and attentive. Sushi Time is a good sushi restaurant, just not great. And we are in pursuit of a great sushi restaurant in the greater Monterey peninsula. So, the search goes on!

After walking on the pier we were kinda worried about finding a decent spot to eat. So glad we gave it a try. Walking in there were like 3 other parties walking in so that was encouraging. It gave off Hawaiian/tiki vibes and was inviting. They have a 3 course special 4-5 pm for like $30. My husband and I picked that, I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and he had bbq ribs. The salad had a delicious dressing and had to eat every morsel. Both the main courses were really good. My grandson ordered the steak and ate every bite of the whole meal. Kai (the waiter) was very nice and gave us some advice on what to see along the route. I got an amazing picture that I blew up to hang in our room. Totally recommend giving this place a try!

Once inside, dark lighting with a bar on one side and bigger tables on the other side. Compact but a lot of seating options. Once 4PM hit, we were seated with 1 couple. Waiter came out quickly to take our orders and everything from came out quickly without it feeling rushed. Both the waiter and the chef were super nice, great customer service. My nephew and I even got free shrimp! Fried rice was phenomenal, veggies and chicken I do feel like they could have added some more sauce to them but nevertheless, they were still very delicious. I definitely would recommend this place!

The hosts are super nice and friendly. The person cooking your meals is funny and nice. They make jokes and keep you laughing. The food is good. You choose between steak chicken shrimp lobster scallops or a combination of them. They also have regular rice or fried rice (charges more for fried rice). They give you salad and a broth to enjoy in the beginning. At the end of your meal you get a choice of an ice cream. Overall it's $50-60 a person depending. If you get drinks of course it's more. It was good and I have leftovers for tomorrow!
