We truly enjoyed our food. So delicious. The Katsu chicken was delicious (crispy and chicken was thin). The cucumber salad was refreshing and it paired well with our food. I'm going to have to come back and try their AYCE. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Went here for lunch and everything was awesome! They put a great amount of fish on the rice. Very fresh

Sushi Fire is not bad and not amazing. The service was quick and the food came out. Did not opt for the AYCE, but judging by the quality of the chicken and the tempura I would say this place isn't the best quality in terms of what they present to the customer due to their AYCE option. The price is on the higher side as well. The Bento Box was $17.95 and the Seafood Udon was $18.95. The competition for Japanese Fare near the area is intense and Sushi Fire is a local place to dine if you live in the area. read more

Being very honest, the sushi here was terrible. terrible QUALITY FISH. The sushi was so thick and so old, not fresh. I will never return here. Spent $75 dollars for nothing. read more

Sushi Fire - Duarte - there was old moist seaweed in here and the fish was so bad. Hulk roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Duarte, California

In comparison to other AYCE sushi spots that I've been to I would rate this one in the middle as "okay." It wasn't bad but I can't say it was exceptional either. For $39 per person for AYCE I've had better at other sushi spots. First off they don't really have sashimi for ayce, you have to pay $1 extra per piece which is kind of a bummer at least for all sashimi besides salmon. We opted to get a bunch of regular sushi pieces instead and I would say the quality is between okay and good. None of the fish had a fishy taste which is a thumbs up for me. The rice was okay, some pieces of sushi held together while others did not. I will say I enjoyed the ambiance at this place. They have a cute design and the restaurant itself is fairly small, like 8-10 tables or so. In terms of service, it was decent though they forgot about 3-4 dishes in total from my placed order. It definitely got annoying to flag them down to check so note to double check with the waiter so they circle everything so you won't have to wait for an order that isn't coming. Overall the experience was good, I enjoyed the food and what not though I personally probably won't be back because I feel there are so many better spots. Note - They also give ice cream for AYCE though it's not on the menu so be sure to ask! I got a chocolate ice cream with no extra charge. Parking - It's okay they have a lot but it's shared lot next to like a car shop so plenty of cars just parked around. I took the last spot so you might have to park on the street. read more

Friendly service every time. Food is fresh and of quality. There's been a few times where I took a bit of time going through the menu and the waitress asked what I was in the mood for, I couldn't find a specific combo and though it wasn't on the menu, they offered to make it for me. The chef seemed to enjoy making this "creative" roll for me (as he called it) and gave me a thumbs up when I took a bite. Since then, the menu is unnecessary. read more

Looking for a good sushi place while taking my daughter to college. Got the all you can eat the price was worth it and the options were good. The other downside I would say is the seaweed was not good. Will be back to give it another shot read more

I'm on the hunt of trying sushi restaurants in the surrounding areas in Duarte and Monrovia to find a place to be a regular at. This was not it unfortunately compared to quality of fish that I'm looking for. We had the option of AYCE but didn't want to eat everything after the items we tried. For $40 for AYCE it's a good value for some people. But i'm here for quality not quantity of sushi. Server said it was a better deal for AYCE so we tried it out. There were a good amount of people here for a Thursday night. 2 solo gentlemen and another couple at the bar with this and another family sitting at the table. There's about 7-8 tables and 10 bar seats altogether. Even though it was AYCE nothing stood out to me that I had to eat again or want to come here again. Sushi was okay. Lots of rice in the hand rolls and sushi. Which I guess is normal for AYCE. I had to ask to refill water a few times. When my water cup was done and I got tired of asking I was done with the meal. There's just better places out there. Nothing special here. read more

Sushi FIRE is right! They live up to their name! Service was friendly, quick and efficient, the ambience was really cute! Very unassuming, indoor and outdoor seating. It's located right next to a vehicle service center but there's an entire row of parking reserved for the restaurant. The food was amazing! 10/10 recommend and will def be coming again! read more

Service was outstanding. Ivy was my server and she was super nice, attentive, and went the extra mile. Sushi/kitchen staff were very efficient. Ambience was really really nice. I sat outside and it was a cool night. Sushi was good, but not the best I ever had, but still satisfactory for me. $39.99 AYCE sushi or $49.99 AYCE premium sushi. Parking can be an issue during the daytime so get ready to park on streets. read more

Super impressed with this place! It's nicely decorated and super clean. It is a bit small, but if you go when it's not busy it's perfect! The staff were super attentive and kind and explained the menu. We ordered from the all you can eat menu and the portion sizes were good enough for 3-4 people. The sushi rolls were tasty and well made. The other sides/appetizers were also good. Will definitely be coming back! read more

New ownership means new interior and we love it! It's super fun, festive and cute! The AYCE deal is great for a local AYCE (which we don't have alot of around here) so it's so nice to se it being back. We are a big fan the nigiri as the fish to rice ratio is perfect- not too much rice, yay! The menu is vast and the service is swift and kind. They did forget to refill our tea, but nothing a simple, kind reminder can fix! read more

I have seen this sushi spot pop up on my Yelp feed for what seems like forever. I went with my girlfriend and colleague and had a great time. The AYCE menu was great, a great variety of selections from appetizers to house rolls and everything in between we all ordered a spread and enjoyed everything that hit our table. The service was great. Somewhat of a smaller venue but you do not feel cramped at all. The one thing that I will mention is parking was a bit confusing, it is right next to a mechanic shop which seems to own the entire parking lot during the day and you might have to park on the street but in the evenings (once the shop is closed) it looks like the lot can be used for Sushi Fire guests. Overall great experience and will be back again! read more

Cute sushi place in a convenient location. Parking here is very easy and plenty of space. Server was friendly and the service was quick, food didn't take long to come out. The sushi was delicious, the all you can eat has a decent sized menu (only on Sat and Sunday). Def would come here again and a great spot for great tasting sushi!! read more

We've been going to Fire Sushi quite a bit lately, and since the new ownership, everything has been fantastic! The food is fresh and delicious, and the all-you-can-eat option is a huge plus--it lets us try a little bit of everything. We're big sushi lovers and usually go about twice a week. The chef, Winston, is amazing--always friendly, welcoming, and he creates the best sushi plates! The restaurant is very clean, the staff is friendly, and service is always quick. Highly recommend Fire Sushi to anyone who loves great sushi and great vibes! read more

Food: Yikes! Im sorry to say this but i think this might be one of my least favorite sushi spot. Something as simple as the miso soup and garlic edamame tasted so bland. Fish was a hit or miss, some pieces tasted fine but other pieces we had to spit out because it was chewy and tasted very fishy. We did the AYCE for $40 and it's so unfortunate that nothing tasted good. None of this is authentic Japanese food. If anyone had sushi and/or Japanese food before, they would be able to tell right away that this place is really far from that. We weren't really sure about the freshness of the fish either so our group decided to stop ordering fish after the first round. What a waste of money. 2 stars for now. If I get a stomach ache later then I'll drop it to 1 star. Service: meh.. average. Nothing special Ambiance: slightly dingy, empty, and not the best smelling read more

We come from Carlsbad to watch the horses run... and head right to Sushi Fire. The parking is a bit strange because they share the lot with a car repair business. There is street parking. It is well worth it. The ambience has improved and the dishes have proved quality and delicious. try the baby lobster and the best salad. Mixed spring lettuce mango and thin slices cucumber . Dressings and dipping sauces are tasty. hamachi nigiri also delightful! read more

I've been a customer of Sushi fire for many years, but they have recently changed their menu and unfortunately, it is now more expensive and there are a lot less combo deals. The parking at the location is also very difficult. Overall the food and service is decent, but the menu change and special offer change is disappointing! read more

This place is one of my FAVORITES sushi is fresh and service is amazing! I love this place

Havent been here in years, the menu has probably changed 3 times since 2019. Husband & I went last night, wasnt very pleased with the food at all. I will not be returning. read more

Use too much sauce on sushi. No need to. It was too heavy. Have on the menu a lot of tempura rolls and California base rolls. The rice crisp was too heavy because of the sauces. They do have good fish but ruin it with the excess sauces. Rice crisp was 5 pcs. Which is a lot for appetizer. Staff was helpful and provided great service but must work on the food. read more

The sushi was excellent and the chef, Cheng and his crew made our experience awesome. They hardly put rice which is a plus and the food tastes really tasteful. Try the hand rolls and the cucumber salad as a side and all the sushi! read more

The last two times I've Eaten there I've gotten sick The last two or three times I've been over there I've gotten sick and today was my last experience. I went over there trying to have an open mind because it's in my community. It's right here adjacent to my apartment building. It's in my neighborhood, but after the food that I received there today and the sickness that came behind it, I wouldn't recommend sushi to anyone unless you want food poisoning. read more

It's our 2nd time eating here & it was a very good experience. Their sushi is cut into thick pieces, the carpaccios are also cut into thick slices (no pictures because we were so excited to eat).

Came here on a Sunday morning for lunch and we were the first to be there. We were greeted by a friendly waitress, who was very attentive throughout our dining there. We ordered the baked scallop roll, the spider roll (soft shell crab), the Alaska roll, the crunchy eel roll (forgot the name), and the lunch tempura combo with baked mussels and squid tempura. The baked scallop roll took a while because it's baked but it was worth the wait. It came out hot and tasty. The spider roll's soft shell crab was fried and each bite came with a crunch which was lovely. The salmon in the alaska roll was so soft and fresh and I enjoyed the smoothness of it in my mouth. The crunchy eel was my favorite. The outside had a bit of a crunch as it was covered with the tempura panko. There's cream cheese in each piece and combining with the eel was a fantastic combination. The seafood in the combo was really fresh. It has a big serving of vegetable tempura in it. It came with rice and miso soup. There were 3 of us and the friendly waitress gave us two more soup so we each had a soup. The ambiance was casual and the service was great. The waitress kept refilling out tea and super attentive. She also gave us extra serving of wasabi and pickled ginger. She was also very accommodating to other customers. The pricing was actually a tad cheaper than other sushi places and great taste with the food. Highly recommend! read more

This is a cute little sushi restaurant, we were immediately attracted to it when we drove past and were wondering what is that little shack-like restaurant with lights? We came on a Friday night at 8pm. They weren't busy at all and we were seated by a very sweet hostess/waitress. We ordered a tempura roll, salmon nigiri, the bento box with beef teriyaki, and small chirasi bowl. Everything came out pretty quickly. However, our waitress thought we had ordered tempura udon and there was some confusion when it was brought out to our table. I felt guilty making her take it back but it would've been too much food. The sushi was delicious and fresh. The portion was pretty decent for the price point. I wasn't the biggest fan of the beef teriyaki. The meat was dry and there was not a lot of teriyaki sauce on top to make up for the dryness. Everything else was satisfying. read more

When I tell you that this was the ALL TIME WORST Sushi that I have ever eaten in my life. It is the absolute WORST. First of all, all the good reviews belong to the previous owners. A different owner recently took over. So there's that. But when I steeps inside it has a very feint insecticide smell. Like maybe they were trying to combat a problem. I ordered anyway and it was pretty expensive $67 for two rolls and a Bento box. I ordered to go. When I got home the food literally looked like vomit. I only live a few blocks away so it's not like I went on a journey. The dynamite rolls were horrible and you can tell that they use imitation crab. The rest of the meal was horrible too. I promise, I usually give a second chance but no way will I ever step foot in there again. The staff was nice, but they need to go down the street and take a lesson from Hemo Sushi. read more

My family has been coming to this spot for over 20 years and now three different owners. Today we stopped by to try the new ownership's All-you-can-eat (AYCE) sushi for $38.99 that they offer Saturdays and Sundays, and we were pleased with the service and food quality. Typically, I steer clear from AYCE sushi because the quality always leaves more to be desired. But in this case, everything was delicious and good quality. We mainly had nigiri and handrolls and two rolls. We may have overindulged...but it was well worth it. Forgot to take pictures because we were so hungry we attacked the food when it came out. read more

Ughhhhhh I really want to gate keep this but I think this is well deserved. Ayce sushi on weekends and it's amazing. Looks like they had just started to offer this recently and I hope it sticks around. Great rolls and sushi pieces and the rice to fish ratio is perfection. My only gripe is I wish they would do half rolls so we could try more of their offerings. Their stuff is fantastic and I'm so happy. There was one server in the whole place and he made sure that we were all taken care of the whole time. I honestly thought about returning the next day but had to stop myself from getting rolled out of the place two days in a row. Come with an empty stomach and plenty time to enjoy this fantastic meal. read more

Favorite sushi place in general. Amazing staff amazing sushi literally can't go wrong here!

I'm impressed. One sushi chef, one kitchen guy and one server is all they need. Decided to try this place on a whim and so happy I did after work one day. Tried the two roll special for $23.50 includes the two rolls and a miso soup. Great deal and guys the scorpion roll is the best thing you will ever put in your mouth. Highly recommend! Friendly service and very attentive. I had to unbutton my pants because I ate every morsel of my food including the yellowfin tartare! read more
