Mooncats Japanese Sushi Bistro

Oh my this little hidden gem. Took my friend here for dinner for her birthday, absolutely great experience will definitely come back. I made reservation so there was no wait for our 3 top. The wait staff was very attentive, this is a tiny little restaurant with only 3 tables and bar spaces. There is outdoor dining as well so they have few more table outside. The prices are on the higher side but this comes with quality of their fish !! We pretty much had all the rolls on the menu, the nigiri was perfectly portion with rice and size of fish. We ate so much, only remember to take pictures when we already dug into the dishes. Also there where others we didn't take picture off because it's already in my tummy before I realize. The scallops and giant scallop nigiri, so good !! Everything was good, the only thing we were not a fan of was the desserts. The staff help package our left over and it was nicely package as if we were ordering to go. Will be a frequent customer now !!

Best sushi in SGV! We loved it when it was Mooncat and it's great now, too. The owner, Nakata, makes excellent sushi and the service is very good. Don't get pissed that there's no room if you just show up. It's very small so just call ahead, no problem. Also, don't expect AYCE here This is the real deal, authentic Japanese sushi.

We got lucky on the parking, because this part of Monrovia is usually busy and crowded with tight parking. This gem of a sushi shop is a hidden jewel. It's very tiny and very reminiscent of the actual Japan like size of smaller spaces and close seating. There is only one chef and one waitress which works for a small place. Anyways, the food is the out of this world and on another level. If you're looking for fresh fish and perfect sashimi/sushi. This is the place you're looking for. We ordered a few starters and some of the specials. The ono fish was super fresh and buttery. We looved the fresh eel roll. The freshness of their seafood is unmatched. This has become our favorite sushi joint from now on. The sweet shrimp was absolutely delectable. The ikura is fresh juicy and popping without being overly salty. The uni pasta was the only disappointment. Sushi and sashimi is the name of the game here. Ichiban oishi

Great food, great service! Authentic authentic authentic! The only thing is that it's a very small place, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. On cold days you may need to sit outside but there is a heat lamp.

Small place great quality sushi. Service can be a bit slow.
