    Nigiri Omakase
    Alexus H.

    This was my first sushi experience. We went for the Nigiri Omakase. The first course was miso soup and it was packed with flavor. They elevated the miso soup and made me excited for the rest of the food. Unfortunately, I realized I didn't like sushi this day. They offered a wide spread of options and everything was well seasoned.

    Chirashi
    Frannie A.

    Great environment and food all looked good. We ordered the wrong item. Both got Chirashi ($32each). It was like a chopped salad with the fish in small pieces (1/4 inch) mixed in with small pieces of ginger, tamago and fried garlic (?) Should have looked at the yelp pictures better, but some of them do show larger pieces of fish. Will try again and order differently. Fish quality looked good.

    Fantastic sushi! We had the nigiri omakase for dinner then went back the next day for lunch it was so good. Service was spectacular.

    Tuna and otoro nigiri

    Tasty sushi. Waitress was so kind and friendly and made me feel welcome. Place is a little small but very cozy and I loved it.

    Abbie G.

    Everything was delicious and fresh. We were really blown away by the flavor and the freshness. The sushi was up there with some of the best we've had if not the best, the shrimp tempura was absolutely the best I've ever had, and the yellowtail crudo (once again, among the freshest tasting I've had) was everything I wanted and more. That being said, the service was almost non existent. The waiter we had originally was super nice but he left halfway through and despite being in eyesight of four different service and the people sitting next to us getting the service of their life, we were basically left there without service for more than an hour. That was super disappointing. Also, we did agree to sitting in the lobby but the fact that I had to look at an abandoned office the whole time. This was just not a great experience. I was eating amazing food and my view would have been terrible, had my beautiful gf not been in the way.

    Lunch bento box
    Holly K.

    I am so disappointed I did not make it to sushi mon earlier. I recently went in for lunch and was so impressed. It definitely got busy for lunch, I arrived at 11:50 so that I could grab a table. The lunch specials are great! I wanted to try a few other things as well so I added on some apps. The gyoza was great and I really loved their rocksalt salmon. For lunch I could the bento box. Their miso soup is awesome and definitely elevated, it had great chunks of fish and cabbage in it. The bento box was tasty, but the chicken teriyaki was cold, but flavorful. The truffle tuna roll my favorite, loved the addition of the lemon zest. The salmon with it was great as well, I was just wayy too full. Parking is easy here either in the deck or in one the parking lots. When you pull into the main entrance of the plaza Sushi Mon is located as one of the first businesses on the left hand side.

    Yes! The Nigiri Omakase is a must try! The freshest fish! 🍣🍱

    Is it bogo sushi?

    Way too good for that.

    They do not. I went in late January (26th), and the chef said it was becoming very time-intensive, so they were not serving ramen.

She wanted to make sure I didn't have an allergy. How amazing?! The chicken teriyaki and the veggies it was served with were absolutely AMAZING!

Knowing how quickly their tables disappear, I checked for reservations on the drive over, fully expecting disappointment. Instead, a small miracle: an open table. I booked it before the screen could change its mind. Upon arrival, the host greeted us with the gentle chaos that only a true local favorite can produce. Our table wasn't quite ready "just waiting on a few folks to wrap up" so we lingered near the entryway, watching the ebb and flow of diners. A brief mix-up had us nearly escorted to a table before being pulled back, but within minutes we were seated, no worse for the detour. Our spot was perfect: a front-row view of the sushi bar, where chefs moved with the quiet intensity of people who know their craft is being watched and appreciated. The restaurant hummed around us servers weaving between tables, the soft clatter of plates, the low murmur of regulars who clearly consider this their second home. Our server, whose name I wish I'd caught, was a standout. Attentive without hovering, candid about the kitchen running a bit behind, and consistently thoughtful with updates. His honesty made the experience feel more intimate, more human. Cocktails arrived first, followed by a parade of sushi and small plates. Everything was fresh, balanced, and deeply satisfying, the kind of meal that doesn't need theatrics to make an impression.

I am also always appreciative when a sushi place can accommodate my addiction to add cream cheese to any roll- they made it work! Service was prompt and attentive.

The sweetness of the sauce makes this a perfect plate. The vegi in this dish is also good paired with the same sauce. Overall this is one of the best lamb and for the price it is so worthy. The Ajisay is also good. But not something extraordinary though. The most disappointment is the love boat. The sashimi does not taste fresh at all. The texture of the tuna makes you feel that it has been in the fridge for few days. The same for the sushi. I thought they would have special fish but just regular tuna and salmon. We substituted the rolls and had to pay $5 extra. I think it is good decision because we enjoyed the Volcano. It is crunchy and abit spicy. The pink lady was also something we never had before so glad we tried it out. We have been to Ajisay a few times but this time it is 50/50.

I had to ask for ginger sauce, but the yum yum sauce had already been put on the table in a squeeze bottle. Everything was perfectly cooked, plentiful and yummy. I would probably not order the scallops again because the flavor and texture were more fish-like than scallop like. Loved the chicken and all the veggies. Fried rice was good as well. Didn't have anything added to it, but it didn't need to. Even though I ate a lot, I still took home enough for another delicious meal. Would definitely go back, especially considering how inexpensive it was.

(It's the nori, the seaweed wrapper, that sets it apart in the world of sushi.) The salmon, yellowfin tuna, and crab were so fresh that they tasted fishy to us. Again, I believe it's user error that this dish didn't fly with us. We used the soy sauce mixed with wasabi to disguise the fishy taste. Lesson learned.

We got to the restaurant a few minutes before our reservation and they were able to seat us closer to our reservation time. The menu is vast containing sushi and burgers, but you don't have to choose one or the other. I decided to combine both with The Cowfish Bento Box. This is a combo that features both a burger and sushi. Included in the box is a mini burger with American cheese, pickles, & chopped red onion, sweet potato fries, Thai cucumbers, edamame, and choice of a 4-piece sushi roll (California, Spicy Tuna, Vegetarian, or Philly Roll). I chose California. Not only do they offer all that, but they are really substitution friendly (some up-charges may apply). I swapped out the American cheese for smoked blue cheese. My husband ordered a bento box as well and swapped out the sweet potato fries for fried pickles. What a ton of food and I loved the variety! I also found this affordable for the quality and quantity given at $20. The place was extremely crowded so I highly recommend making a reservation and plan accordingly if you have something to do afterwards. It took about 30 minutes for us to get our food from the time we ordered to the time we received it. Service was good. Server checked in every few minutes to refill our drinks. I loved the design of the restaurant with eclectic fish and cow art everywhere. They had many tables inside and bar seating and outside tables on a dedicated patio. Outside the patio, they had a few lawn games such as corn hole. The restaurant is located in North Hills, so there's no dedicated parking lot. We found free parking in a parking garage. Cowfish was super family friendly with kids everywhere, but seriously this restaurant is so good for everyone.
