Sushi Kuni

I just wanted to try something different and I'm happy I decided to take a chance. I arrived and was in slight distress because the name of the restaurant has changed from Sushi Kuni to Monrovia Ramen & Rolls. I went inside to ask just to be sure. The hostess confirmed and I sat down to eat. I noticed the sushi ???? chef in the back preparing food and seemed like he has a new school vibe. I order a few rolls to start Baby Lobster - super good Volcano - Excellent Philadelphia - Always the same goodness Tempura Philadelphia - Sweet with similar phili roll taste Chicken Ramen Bowl - Very good Spicy Trio Poke Bowl - very good with a ton of salad The chef seemed to make the sushi with a wonderful presentation and purple rice. I have to admit it was different but very tasty. Sushi rice is good but with different rice, it's a new school twist that I like. I would like to see more sushi rice options going forward but I like what this place is bringing to the table and like their style... The m

August 2022 - Party of 3 on a Friday around 5 PM. No wait. Food/Pricing - Big Tuna Roll - $15.95 - Highly recommend! They use purple rice which is something I haven't seen before for sushi. Tonkatsu Ramen - $13.95 - On the lighter tasting side, not salty. Spicy Chashu Ramen - $15.95 - Yum! Not very spicy but just enough to have a little kick! Service/Ambiance - Friendly and prompt service! Parking - Street parking. There's also a few public parking lots nearby.

Excellent experience. My server Conrad was very knowledgeable and helpful when I ordered. The sushi was amazing. Love the purple rice. Very clean restaurant, calming interior/vibe.
