Sushi Sai Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Monterey Park

I was here with my friends and it's a hidden gem, its really quiet and a lovely vibe. I was able to taste test Orion and ichigo which I would have never been able to try elsewhere! The service is a bit slow as a fair warning since it is just the owner who does multiple jobs. She is a lovely lady and I will definitely come back to show my support!

I had the spicy calamari which was on the spicy side which I loved, the eel + rice bowl which came with miso soup, which I loved very much. The eel was really tasty and miso soup was very flavorful as well. Calamari rings was well battered. I also had the premium sashimi plate which has scallop, octopus, tuna, salmon, blue fin tuna, and I think swordfish. It was all...

I absolutely love Sushi Sai. The prices are very reasonable for quality Japanese food. I've only been during the night and I got the shio salmon with sashimi meal which is $16 before tax and tips. It comes with grilled shio (salt) salmon, a generous portion of fresh sashimi, salad, miso soup, and rice. My boyfriend likes their udon and soba and says it tastes very homey and comforting. He gets the udon and California roll meal and it's only $12. Their lunch menu is even a better deal. I've never been during lunch, but the combos look similar to dinner for $2-5 off. I always feel full and satisfied coming to Sushi Sai. :) The owner is also very friendly! I can't wait to come back more and try most...

We regret so much eating at this Japanese restaurant. The sashimi was totally discolored and tasted bad. There was only one other table of customers but we had to wait for more than 30 min to get any food. The easiest thing to do is California rolls and yet it came out like a big lump of rice with no avocado or cucumber. The dinner served the salad mix with the teriyaki beef on the same plate so the salad dressing got mixed w the teriyaki sauce which tasted terrible. The server was rude too when we complained about the wait. We wasted money and time at this tiny pathetic Japanese restaurant. We won’t go back for sure and wanted to warn people about this very old , bad...
