Mikomi Sushi Santa Monica — Restaurant in Santa Monica

The problem is that everytime a new customer walks in they start yelling welcome in Japanese but.......who cares ? Food tastes excellent and there is plenty of cooked food to choose. Extensive large menu almost very reasonable in prices, excellent taste , except people did not discover it yet . This place is in the level of people waiting in line to be seated down but unfortunately it is pretty empty yet. Give it a try as empty as it is and you will fall in love with it. Alll kinds of food sushi, cooked food, anything is possible there I am serious this is a REAL GEM. Just go and try but you will not see mini skirt women and show yet , I hope it happens soon because it is worth it. And guess what ? Happy hour until closing with prices 5 or 7 bucks for baked mussels , and rolls, and sashimis, with good size amounts , basically you can get full only with happy hour and pay ridiculously low prices. Please do not scream when a customer enters , it disturbs the existing customers severely. This is a problem in this...

Just steps away from the Santa Monica pier and Third Street Promenade is this new neighborhood gem that's too good I have to share.

Coming here, I was already expecting expensive prices for the area, but it’s actually quite comparable to the sushi restaurants back home in OC. You can definitely taste the quality of the fish and generous thiccc slices too.

You can’t beat the lunch deals here, like all 3-item bento boxes for $21.95, or a set of 6-piece omakase sushi plus whatever roll of your choice for under 26 bucks. And available during weekend lunch too, like ok I’m sat.

And oh my gosh, I wish you guys could've smelled the seared mackerel battera sushi, which comes in a cute rectangular shape!

I’m a sucker for miso sea bass at a sushi restaurant, so when I saw they had a baked miso sea bass roll, I had to get it.

And they even have bottomless mimosas or sake bombs, like say less, fam.

Thanks for...

We ate at Mikomi Sushi last night and it was a huge disappointment. Service was poor and we had to ask multiple times just to get basic items. The staff seemed inexperienced.

The food was even worse. Almost everything was packed with fillers like imitation crab, heavy mayo, and overly sweet sauces, clearly meant to make the portions look bigger than they were. We tried to wipe off the sauce as best as we could.

We tried to return one item which was inedible, with Mayo seeping out, but she just laughed and said that’s how it’s served everywhere, and then refused to take it back. No effort to make it right. It sat untouched.

We left unsatisfied, and definitely won’t be back. This isn’t real sushi. If you’re looking for something authentic, look elsewhere.

Also worth noting that some reviews mention that they offer free dessert in exchange for good ratings so their reviews...
