I visit this place about once a month. The food is always delicious, and the place always seems clean. Jamie was very polite and one of the kindest people I've run into in awhile. This visit will stick with me and I will keep coming back. Thank you Mon for having great food and service. read more

My favorite place to get hibachi in Myrtle Beach. The teriyaki chicken is amazing. Everything is always cooked perfectly. The staff is accommodating and nice. I love that they offer multiple sauces for your meal for no extra charge. I will always come back here. read more

This place was absolutely terrible! A complete disaster!! The only good thing I can say about it is that it was clean. Other than that, there isn't anything to like. The sushi sucks, the service sucks. I will give it points for the dining room being clean. The guy behind the counter who I assume was the owner seemed completely befuddled and was making his employees confused too. They couldn't communicate very well. My husband ordered a sushi roll and I asked for a tuna poke bowl with brown rice. This seemed SO hard for them to do and it was the worst poke bowl I've ever had. For starters the gave me a bowl of plain brown rice that was overcooked and dry. Then they gave me a TINY plate of some chopped up tuna with no garnish or other ingredients. I can pull a better poke powl than that with ingredients from my freezer. It was disgusting! My husband said his roll was also small, tasteless, practically inedible. You couldn't pay me to eat here again!! read more

Mon Cafe - The plate displayed is smaller than it looks. Measly amount of fish for poke, barely any garnish - Japanese Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I've been eating here since middle school - I'm now 24 & no longer live at the beach, but whenever we're there a visit to Mon Cafe (formerly Kyoto Express) is absolutely mandatory. the sushi is fantastic - the sticky rice & fresh ingredients make it some of the best sushi I've had at the beach. the only thing I eat (literally, I don't think I've had anything else) is a chicken bowl with a side of vegetables mixed with mayo sauce. I'm pretty sure that would be my "last meal" if I could choose. just go. trust me. (PS - the name of the restaurant is actually "Mon Cafe Japan") read more

I love it favorite food, fresh, on time you can either call or do an online and still fast, fresh and good

Unfortunately, in Myrtle Beach there is chain after chain and local places are often overshadowed. Mon Cafe Japan gives M.B. a little personality. The mood is relaxed and the prices are reasonable. Personally, I have sat here much longer than I care to admit after finishing my Chicken bowl and california rolls. I love this place and every time I'm in town I have to go by. read more

I always loved the chicken bowl but just had it with all veggies and no rice and I am a huge fan! Stir fried onions and zucchini with that wonderful tasty chicken on top. Yeah! read more

Great food. Fed four adults and two kids. Got two hibachi steak/scallops, two hibachi steak/shrimp, kids chicken meal and a crunch roll. The adult dinners were excellent and the sushi was quite tasty and filling. Good portion sizes. Ordered food and 10 minutes later it was ready. Great service at the counter. Will visit again! read more

One of my favorite places to get Japanese food. My kids and I eat here often! They love the mochi ice cream.

On the golf team at CCU, we used to eat here at least 3 times a week. The going saying was "The only thing better than Mon is Free Mon" as we played eachother for dinner every round haha. It's an excellent spot and the food is consistently great with large portions. I get the steak bowl every single time and I can't get enough, just top it with the white sauce and it's great every time. And for the weirdos out there like myself... The ice is in pellet form, which is a huge plus! There are lots of options, but I don't stray from my steak bowl very often. Highly recommend! read more

This is absolutely not sushi. I ordered a spider roll. It was not a spider roll. It was tasteless at best. It was not wrapped inside nori, and it had a horrible tasting "orange" sauce on the outside. The California roll was also tasteless and average at best. The soup tasted like they took Campbell's soup and watered it down. I should've eaten at McDonalds. I received a refund. At least they can do that.... Horrible, horrible "sushi" at Cali prices. I really dig it. Just a businessman trying to make a buck. No crafters present. Horrible customer service. I had to go back to the counter to get the water I ordered. Just absolutely unacceptable in all ways. read more

We have gone to Mon Cafe ever since they opened up years ago. Still the ONLY Japanese "fast food " place I will go to! ALWAYS clean and impeccable! Always good! No need to go to any other!! read more

I've eaten at two of these joints, and I call them joints, because that's what it really is.. there isn't really anything "special" to the menu, its street side Rice and veggies or beggers cant be choosers teppanyaki.. in other words, its budget stir fry.. but its also not too bad when you're on a budget either because you get decently fresh veggies and things like chicken and rice, and they can be healthy options should you crave things like stir fried veggies on steamed rice. so there are some good things about this place. on the down side, there have been more than a few outbreaks of weak food poisoning or mis use of their japanese sauce, which is mayonnase based and they dont seem to keep it a proper temperatures.. that said, this is hit and miss and doesnt happen frequently enough to really "avoid" it when I have a craving for it... just something to be aware of. I would say, stay away from the sushi.. its definitely nothing special unless you enjoy the very most basic roll that has very little thrill and for that matter makes them money because its MOSTLY rice anyway. but all in all, its an A-ok place read more

Great food, steak and shrimp plate was excellent. Very well set up for covid protection. Very clean,

This place is so good! I love eating here. The teriyaki chicken and white sauce is delicious!! Also their sushi is good! They also have a point system that allows you to swipe a card and gain points. The staff is always very friendly and it's very affordable. They also deliver which is cool! The to go cups for the white sauce are small, so don't be caught by surprise, ask for extra! read more

I can't believe I've lived here eight years and havent been here yet. The food was great and prices aren't high. Very tasty and quick service. Also an emplyee walked out and asked if we enjoyed our meal and if we needed anything. That means a lot to me. California rolls, beef dumplings, steak and rice all excellent. read more

We ordered a takeout and were very pleased with the food. Rolls were tasty, and we also really liked the poke bowl with raw tuna and salmon.

Great food and not badly price for it either. Friendly staff and clean. They also have a rewards program which if you eat out alot and eat there it is great to sign up for. read more

quality service and food. this place is one of the best spots in MB. and here's why: 1. the menu items are pretty vast-they do everything from hibachi to teriyaki to sushi to fusion sushi rolls and even to poke bowls 2. surprisingly everything we ordered was reallly good. the poke bowl was really fresh tuna and salmon and can compare with any of the poke spots in NYC 3. the service. this place is a well oiled machine. things are prompted and the servers and cashier was super attentive and accommodating. yes they are young but they operated more like veterans than most of the restaurants around MB. props to the owner for making the right hires. here's few suggestions that could make them better 1. accesssbility, we stayed north MB by the shore and wanted to ordered delivery. there were no ubereats and their partnered delivery service didn't come all the way out here :/ we were willing to pay more for delivery but it just didn't exist. it would have been great if they had a location closer to shore. 2. brand identity. the name, food and thespace didn't fit. the name is french and i didn't see any popular cafe items. the space seemed like it was takeout and dark . the food is edgy hawaiian and fresh. this place needs a fresh look and it can easily be a hot new franchise. i would probably narrow the food choices down a little also. overall, it's amazing quality food that we craved while on a short trip here. read more

Great food, great service! And they serve it to you almost immediately after ordering. After we came in it got full very fast and the tips jar was our best friend. I'm definitely coming back again. read more

Stopped by here with my little sister a couple of weeks ago & despite her telling me not to get sushi, I did anyways. 3 days later I was in the hospital with a fever that spiked to 103.2 & my blood work came back positive for E. Coli poisoning. Save yourself the hell & go somewhere else read more

What a surprise! I have driven by this place a few times and never stopped, I am glad i saw the reviews on here and decided to go. The resturant is very clean and the staff is extremely friendly. The food is well priced and very fresh. I got the $11 sushi combo with a philly roll, hibachi steak, rice and veggies and it was more food than I expected! I will definitely be going back! read more

Servings were perfect size, the rolls were amazing. Got the surf and turf and several others and they were out of this world. Such a great find for us while on vacation. Definitely would come back to this one! read more

We go here every year. The steak is so good! Big chunks and tender. I miss it when we leave. Until next year Mon!

I am addicted to this place. It's a lot like Jimmy's but better in every way. The food takes no time and is absolutely delicious. The food may take a minute to make but eating it may take hours, that's the kind of place this is. The service is great and everyone is just happy and nice. The atmosphere is calming and great for anytime even when with a love one or just a group of friends. But that's not all, it's really cheap and affordable and they give u so much food it doesn't feel like a scam like some other places. I have been going here for the past month I really need to stop. read more

Use to come here often, but I don't think I will anymore. The cashier took our order wrong, and gave us chicken bowls instead of the steak we asked for. We had no problem with the mistake, we understand that everyone makes mistakes, BUT the Manager of the place made us pay for the "up charge" they had on the steak... AND he didn't come up to us ourselves to ask. He made the poor cashier ask us. He was already nervous because he made the small mistake. It wasn't our fault the mistake was made either. Clearly they know nothing about customer service and it was a full $8 to &10 up charge. Bad experience. read more

One of my go to lunch spots. Consistent. Quality food for the price. I always love the Mon chicken but their steak and shrimp is always good. The portion size is perfect depending on whether you get lunch or dinner. Overall it's a great quick eat for hibachi read more

What a hidden little gem. The wife and I were driving from Charleston to Jacksonville and had a hankering for some sushi. We did a quick yelp search using the mobile app and found Mon Cafe. A sushi place that's open just about all day with low prices usually implies to me that it will probably be kind of crummy grocery store quality sushi...that is NOT the case with Mon Cafe! This place is the real deal. I dropped Colleen off to place our order while I ran over to the gas station to fill up with petrol. It only took a few minutes to get our order from the friendly staff and we were back on the road again. We got three rolls, a cali, a spicy tuna, and a plain tuna. Let me just say that having lived in California, Hawaii, and several other places where high quality tuna is the standard I have had to pick and choose my sushi joints very carefully here on the east coast. After taking my first bite of the tuna roll I knew we were really going to enjoy our mobile meal. That was some darn good fish!!! Very fresh and well portioned maki. The california roll was just a little too heavy on the mayo for my liking, but a little extra wasabi evened that right out. All in all, any time I am traveling on HWY 17 by this place, I'll be stopping in for a roll or two! Can't wait for the trip back on Thursday! read more

I visited on mother's day. Not too busy and food was quick. Next time I will order the bowl chicken instead of the entree chicken. Same thing minus a few onions and zucchini but a price difference. read more

The chicken bowl is glorious. I could eat it every day. Make sure to check out happy hour from 2-4 Mon thru Fri. Also get a lot of the white sauce, it goes with rice and chicken nicely. read more

I've eaten at Mon Cafe probably 25 times and never been dissapointed, My 8 yr old son, my wife and my mom love it too! Good prices for great food, it is in teh same parking lot basically as Miyabi jr and i have no idea how miyabi jr gets any business as MOn cafe is 100 times better food and prices read more

Low cost meal that is full of flavor and freshness, a lighter and healthier choice for those trying to get away from heavier foods. Specializes in Teriyaki and sushi dishes. Most meals are about $10 or less and some include drinks. I had the Mahi Mahi and it was full of flavor and was cooked fresh when I ordered it. I'll be back. read more

Me and my husband eat here on a daily basis and never have an complaint. Always wonderful food , great sweet tea , yummy appetizers and decent prices. read more

This has to be the best Teriyaki/ Japanese food I have ever eaten. Everything that I have tried here, I have loved. The portions are large and delicious. The prices are reasonable. Once you have tried Mon Cafe, you will come back! I have visited Japan before and this is one of the few places that I can find Japanese drinks. If I lived anywhere near a Mon Cafe, I would be in serious trouble, I could eat it every day. read more

My husband and i have been eating here for years, it is the best japanese food in town! Highly recommended!

Love the chicken and rice bowl!!! Kids eat free on the weekends is a plus!!!

A great place to eat. The food and atmosphere are both excellent. This is my go to place, for a always consistent delicious meal. Very clean, friendly staff and great food. A+ read more

Really good place for quick Asian food. Second time here and will return. Hibachi Steak and shrimp was so tender and favorable.

This place is awesome. Cheap food that is actually great quality, fresh ingredients, and possessing top notch flavor always bring me and the hubby back. Try the chicken teriyaki bowl with spring rolls (their spring rolls are fantastic!), and a plate of yakisoba noodles. Never disappointed, and have some leftovers for round 2 at home. Friendly staff, lovely service. read more

Always fresh. Good serving sizes. The chicken is nice and chuncky all white meat. Not processed chicken like some of its competitors.
