Mooncats Japanese Sushi Bistro

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 fr...

While the prices are on the higher side, you definitely get what you pay for with the quality of the fish! We tried almost every roll on the menu, and the nigiri was perfectly portioned with just the right amount of rice and fish. We indulged so much that we only remembered to take pictures once we’d already started digging into our dishes. There were even some items we forgot to photograph because they went straight to my tummy! The scallops, especially the giant scallop nigiri, were absolutely delicious! Everything we tried was good, although the desserts weren't our favorite. The staff kindly packed our leftovers, and they were so well-packaged that it felt like we were placing a to-go o...

The best sushi in San Gabriel Valley! We loved it when it was Mooncat, and it’s still fantastic now. The owner, Nakata, creates exceptional sushi, and the service is very attentive. If you arrive without a reservation, don't be upset about the lack of space—it's quite small, so just call ahead to avoid any issues. Also, keep in mind that this is not an all-you-can-eat place; this is genuine, authentic Japanese sushi. Réservez une table maintenant

My friends took me to this hidden gem of a restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised. The sushi was outstanding, and my favorites were the Chawanmushi and toro. If you're unsure about what to order, I highly recommend going with the chef's choice. The staff was very attentive, and the sushi chef even entertained us with some light magic tricks. This is definitely a place I would love to return to!

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.
