Sushimono

I would like to take a moment to apologize to Sushimono for my previous review. I was extremely frustrated by my children on a day that I was very hungry and went home with a head full of steam.
Sushimono delivers a high quality menu of sushi rolls that are filling and delicious. The servers are very friendly, accommodating, and try to create a personal dining experience by converating and creating relationships with their guests.
I managed to let one bad experience turn into a review that was against my better judgment. I know that us «Yelpers» have a tendency to be over critical. I looked into the details too much on one experience, and not the other 10 times that I have been there.
Sushimono, I love you guys. I will be going to visit you in the future. This has been a learning experience for me, and I hope that other Unilocalers will read this and take a moment to really think about what they are writing before they send it out to the rest of the world.
I’m sorry.

Good people. Deagan & Uriel made great rolls. Loved the #2 Garlic Salmon. Gotta try the MAD DOG sauce. I’ll be back for happy hour soon.

Sushimono is hands down my boyfriend and I’s favorite sushi spot.
It’s cheap, never tastes «fishy,» and we actually noticed an improvement in service the last time we went.
We always get the same three rolls: Popcorn Lobster, Mt. Fuji, and the lemon one. The flavors are so good together. Sometimes we’re super hungry and add a fourth. Typically also paired with veggie tempura. Unlike the Elk Grove location, the happy hour here is on the weekends and we think the rolls taste better here too.
I’ve been coming here religiously for at least four years, even after moving out of the area. I’m very, deeply sorry I shared this place with someone who calls themselves a «regular» but is also, freaking crazy and leaves poor reviews over nothing. Crazy is crazy and there’s nothing sushi can do to fix that!

I’m giving this place 3 stars. I’m vegan & they don’t have many vegan/​veggie options (I want to say 5). So they lost one star for that. & they lost another for customer service. They are very abrupt when they talk. Also about half way through your meal they try to rush you out (even when it’s not busy). I like to catch up with old friends here and have a good lunch but it’s annoying when they try to rush you. The veggie lover I think it’s called with the fried tofu is absolutely DELICIOUS! They have really good sushi @ amazing prices !!! I’ll always come here they just don’t deserve more than a 3 star in my opinion.

Best service by far! The sushi is delicious and a great deal. I highly recommend this spot.

I like this location in the Trader Joes complex. We usually come over after school, do our Trader Joes shopping then swing over here to pick up a couple rolls to go. The restaurant interior is kinda small with about 7 inside tables and the sushi bar. The bathrooms are reasonably tidy. The outdoor patio on the side is fun. Theres a propane heater for the chillier times. They charge for hot tea which is crappy. They have a Unilocal check in for edamame or gyoza. The edamame is standard, never tried the gyoza. They have a fairly standard menu here. The cali rolls are pretty cheap and the kids like them so we do that. I have their standard boring rainbow which is decent but nothing to freak out about. The waitresses are friendly, service is reasonable and the restaurant is reasonably clean. They have a couple tvs to distract the kids. Ive never had the good fortune to eat at the sushi bar so i cant speak to that. Overall I give 4* for cleanliness, service and the standard (but not oh my gosh amazing) sushi. Its a good quick sushi stop.

Went on a Wednesday night at 9:15 and it was busy. Sat at the bar, not knowing what to expect. The BBQ alacore appetizer was one of the best we have ever eaten. We always have that dish and what a way to start! I had the Fiji and Rainbow rolls and my wife the sashimi and salmon collar. All the dishes were good sized, fresh and tasty. Excellent prices and service. The employees really seem to like their work. 5 stars, check it out!

The last time we went, the service was the worst. We came in during a busy time, I understand, but as soon as we were seated we ordered right away and we waited and waited. An hour later we complained because we still hadn’t gotten our sushi. We honestly believe they forgot about us because the people who had arrived after us had already gotten and eaten their sushi. The staff apologized and offered to give us edemame on the house. We shortly got our sushi after that, although the quality seemed lower. The lion King roll was dried out a bit and the salmon on the top was uneven looking and weirdly shaped. This had never happened before.
Usually the food here is always amazing, the wait time isn’t though (I guess that comes with the low prices).
The service has never been this bad before though. We are not sure if we are coming back after this point. Maybe during a slower time…

I have been here three times in the past two weeks, they have really good sushi and you can’t beat the price. I love that all the rolls are half off and after 7 pm all rolls are buy 2 get 1 free, my favorite rolls are the popcorn lobster and the lemon tree. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of the long wait for your food.

The rolls are very delicious! The prices are very affordable, especially if you go durning their buy 2 get one free hours. I once got 6 rolls for $ 30! If you want to eat a lot of sushi that tastes pretty good this is the place to go. I have been to many sushi places and this has by far the best tasting sushi for such an affordable price. The staff are also very kind and helpful. The restaurant is usually busy but I’ve never had to wait long for a table.
Definitely recommend!

I love coming here! The sushi is always great and you can’t beat it for half price any time of the day! Also, their happy hour is buy two get one free on top of their already have priced rolls… Seriously, I could eat sushi for days! Only thing they need to work on is their timeliness and how often the servers come by. But even that isn’t bad. Obviously not bad enough to deduct a star!

Don’t forget to check in for your complimentary gyoza or edamame!
FOOD
— Seafood Ramen: ramen noodle soup with 1 mussel, 3 shrimps, and small pieces of scallop topped with cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Good portion, decent flavor. 3.5÷5
SERVICE
Today’s service was better. We were greeted and seated. Our waitress was friendly but she didn’t check on us at all during our stay. Luckily we didn’t need anything. ³⁄₅
FINAL THOUGHTS
The ramen was okay, I’ve definitely had better. I liked their honey spicy chicken a lot better than their ramen. I would come back to try other things since it’s walking distance from my work.

Still the best quality, serving size and value in town.
I recommend the Sakura Island, a crisp rice-​free cucumber wrap mmmm

I tried this place with my friend who comes here regularly and was very impressed. They have several rolls to choose from, and all are half off.
The food tastes amazing and I recommended the «crazy» or «James dean» rolls. By far are the best I’ve had so far. also really like the atmosphere and the buy 2 get 1 free happy hour deal.
The only reason I give four instead of higher is because they do give you can soda instead of fountain drinks so refills raise the price. And also although they have a huge roll selection, almost majority have shrimp tempura in them. Which I love but not every rolls needs that.
Other than that you’ll love this place!

Back at one of our favorite sushi spots, Sushi Mono. Our favorite Sushi Chef Timmy always makes us feel welcomed.

My daughter and I always come here every Tuesday after gymnastics for a mommy daughter date. Staff is so incredibly friendly and sweet, my daughter loves them and that’s saying a lot because she is soooooo shy! So reasonable and always delicious!!! Love it here!

Have ordered the same thing for a long time. tonight was the worst service. Rude and… upon arriving home… miles away, my order was so skimpy, and f@ck+d up. I over heard people at a table talking about the rude staff and to not tip… now i see. 1 star was too many. So sad. No kore 9−1 – 1-‘s for me

You can’t beat it for the price especially during happy hour which is after 7pm (buy 2 rolls get one free).
The quality certainly has improved vastly from a couple of years ago and their service has stayed consistent if not better. I appreciate that the prices are not overly high and you still get the same high quality and fresh ingredients.
The setting is very quaint and small. Seating can be a little tight but they also have outdoor patio seating with heat lamps when it gets chilly.
If you like spicy rolls I would highly recommend spicy monster and the kamikaze rolls!
As long as they keep up what they’re doing. me and my bf will be coming back for sure.

1^st time here it’s super nice and the employees are very nice and the food is really good. I will be coming back for sure

I stopped here for a quick bite as I was running an errand in the area, and everything was just a little below mediocre. It was an overall «meh» experience.
The interior was dimly lit and quite empty, even around lunchtime. The tables were sticky on top and wobbly on the bottom. Service was fine towards the beginning, but virtually nonexistent after our orders were delivered.
Gyoza:
(
)
These were offered as a check-​in offer, and I’m not sure if one order really just comes with three or if it was only a miniature version because it was complimentary. The fillings didn’t taste very fresh, and while the wrappers on the outside were fried well, I had an overwhelming suspicion that these were grocery-​bought frozen potstickers turned gyoza.
Popcorn lobster roll:
(
)
This roll sounded quite good on the menu, but the finished product was less than satisfying. The rolls were cut up into different sized pieces, the «lobster» (which was really shrimp or langoustine) was overly breaded and tasted pre-​fried, and the sauces glooped together in an unappetizing mixture of watery and sticky textures. The ginger was also strangely pickled. and pink color aside, did not taste fresh.
James Dean roll:
(
)
I thought this roll was better than the one above, as the flavors at least meshed together. The raw scallop on top was a little slimier than I’m used to, but perhaps it was a different variety. The sauce wasn’t as overwhelming on this roll, but I couldn’t help but notice the unevenness with which it was spread.
Overall, not an experience I would be interested in repeating.
