Any place with salmon roe (ikura) automatically gets 5 stars. It's the best dish in the world.They can accommodate large parties (8 people). Their menu is pretty large with a decent variety. They did run out of takoyaki when I was there.

I always enjoy The Mad Monkfish for dine-in or takeout! They have a great selection of sushi as well as other food options! They have a vegetarian section of their menu which includes vegan items. The place is very busy on the weekends/for dinners so definitely make a reservation if you want to eat during those times. The atmosphere is fun and the decor is unique. But if you are having a more quiet night they do a great job with takeout!

Great ambience and very good food, slightly on the pricier end (as sushi usually is) staff was pretty nice and food came pretty quickly. Would recommend the fairy tale sushi! I got the red riding hood sushi which was one of the best sushi dishes I had in a while!

A great meal! Staff was attentive and the food came out quick. It was also affordable for the amount of food I got.. Highly recommend the fried squid legs and vegetable udon on a cold winter day ?

Love the “red riding hood” special maki roll, ordered it so many times. I used grubhub for delivery this time because I had a gift card, I didn’t like the follow up text from the restaurant suggesting to not use grubhub in the future. I understand the fees they need to pay for it but it would be better if they decide to not be on such a platform at all

The service was wonderful! The staff was extremely attentive and their menu was gluten friendly which is always a plus! The food was amazing and I had a lychee martini that was absolutely delicious! I definitely will be back to eat more sushi!

Beautiful lighting and ambiance. Had fun ordering some fairy tale sushi. The rest of my dinner party enjoyed delicious teriyaki salmon and beef curry! We all enjoyed ourselves and had great service.

The food here is great but I think the portions could be bigger. I tried one of the sushi arcs with my group, and it barely was enough for three people that do not eat that much.The ambience offers a more lively environment than I would appreciate for a Japanese restaurant, but I won’t reduce my rating based on this highly subjective notion.

Always a great time, in one part of the venue they play live music. You can order some drinks in pitchers. The espresso martinis are delicious. Their special fairytale sushi rolls are the best!
