Mikomi Sushi - Monrovia

Food: fabulous! We ordered bento boxes and were very pleased. My sashimi was incredibly fresh and tender, while my husband thoroughly enjoyed his salmon roll. Service: once again, fantastic! The waitstaff were attentive and professional. We've found our new favorite sushi spot!

I had to wait a bit to be seated on Sunday since it was a busy night. However, the waiter was nice and friendly. The food came out quickly, and the restaurant wasn't too loud, which was great. Plus, they had the playoffs on the TVs!

The service here is efficient, and there are often tables available for smaller groups when you arrive. The location is charming and enjoyable to stroll around. I truly appreciate their hand rolls; they don’t hold back on the fish! The spicy garlic edamame is also very tasty. The flavors are pleasing, and the quality is decent. I would definitely come here to satisfy my sushi cravings conveniently.

I'm writing this review because I want Mikomi to succeed. There aren't many good sushi spots in the area and I feel like they are so close to being a better than average sushi spot. Firstly, we were seated quickly. But seated next to the bar where they were washing the floor. With an industrial cleaning agent that smelled like ammonia. Needless to say it did not improve our appetite. We moved tables on our own cuz the smell was giving us a headache. Perhaps wait til your customers are not in the vicinity to do commercial cleaning? Or at least sit us somewhere else The food is what you can expect from a local sushi spot. They aren't winning culinary awards here. But the key is the freshness of the ingredients. And for that reason, Mikomi is one of the best spots around. Slight complaint about some of the prices but I guess we're seeing that everywhere. I just remember being able to get a nice sushi meal for $25-$30 a head. Nowadays expect $45-60. We also had a slight issue with our server. We came for a specific roll and that happened to be the one that was missing from our order. However the server did admit to it and apologized. Overall, a decent spot in the area for sushi. If they were able to tighten up their operations, I'd be coming back a lot more often

First time at Mikomi. A popular place along the main street of Old Town Monrovia. Efficiently put my name on the waitlist at the front entrance and was called within 10 mins. Service was quick and attentive which is why we weren't surprised the wait wasn't so long even thought the restaurant was packed. Spider roll was fresh. Chicken katsu was a generous portion with the perfect crunch. Opted for curry on the side and glad I did. Had spice and a nice assortment of potato and carrots. Wish the amount of rice was proportional to the entree. Tonkotsu ramen noodles were al dente but the broth could have had more depth. Still a good dish overall.
