Monster Sushi

Monster Sushi on UrbanspoonThis location used to be the Robson Sushi which I only went to a long time ago since I didn’t like the quality of their sushi and never returned. With the place newly renovated and a new name, Sheepie and I tried it out.

On a hot summer day, I found it usual that that restaurant wasn’t blasting the AC like other places. For me, that was fine, but not for Sheepie. Our Chinese lady was rude and really bad service. We felt unwelcome and seemed like she hated her job.

We asked her for the regular again. We received crumpled to-go paper menus. Disappointing.

We ordered a gyoza $3.95, three salmon nigiri $1.50 each, one tuna nigiri $1.50 and one dynamite roll $5.50. The salmon was cut thinly and was pretty good, but the rice was hard and dry. The gyoza was satisfactory and liked the price for quantity and quality.

With so many other choices in downtown, this is not on our top list. With poor service and food that is ‘ok’ to ‘meh’, not sure of returning.
