    Flavor combos you didn’t know you needed🍣✨ Fillet Sushi is always pushing the limits with creative sashimi pairings and every bite somehow works perfectly together. From the Scallop Carpaccio and Yellowtail Yuzu Jalapeño to the Salmon Pecorino Truffle and Sea Bream Shiso Ponzu… the flavor experimentation here is next level. Don’t skip the skewer platter either👀 Ended the night with Soy Sauce Ice Cream and Yuzu Cheesecake for the perfect sweet finish.

    Fillet Sushi has quickly become a standout in Old Town Monrovia since opening its doors in November 2024. While they offer an incredible a la carte menu, the real focal point here is the curated Omakase experience. Sitting at the counter, you get a front-row seat to their chefs’ technical precision, where every piece of nigiri is hand-crafted to highlight the natural sweetness and clean flavors of their premium Japanese fish. 🍣 Premium Omakase Experience 🍱 Hand-Crafted Nigiri & Seasonal Specials 🥩 A5 Wagyu & High-Grade Uni @filletsushi 📍 618 S Myrtle Ave Monrovia CA 91016 Follow @superanitaa for more premium sushi finds and SGV gems 🍣✨

    A true hidden gem in Monrovia✨ Fillet Sushi has only been open for one year, but it’s already making serious waves with its seasonal, experimental, chef-driven menu that’s constantly evolving. This is the kind of place where the chefs listen, create, and aren’t afraid to push boundaries—every visit feels different in the best way. The cuisine leans Japanese with Thai fusion, bringing more diversity, bolder flavors, and unexpected pairings you won’t find at your usual sushi spot. We started with Crispy Okra (addicting) and a Skewer Platter featuring Wagyu, Jidori chicken, and scallop, all grilled to perfection. Fresh half-shell oysters set the tone before diving into Fillet’s sashimi platter, which completely stole the show: ▫️ Toro pecorino truffle ▫️ Striped jack with yuzu jalapeño ▫️ Golden eye snapper with shiso ponzu ▫️ Scallop carpaccio Other standouts included rich Monkfish liver, a vibrant ceviche with salmon, scallop, shrimp, and yellowtail, and a beautifully delicate steamed ginger Chilean sea bass. The crunchy lobster roll? A must-order. For drinks, the Peach Highball was refreshing, but the Summer Melon was the standout—don’t skip this one 🍈✨ Dessert somehow topped it all: Nutella croissant pudding with matcha ice cream and a surprisingly addictive soy sauce ice cream paired with a Japanese rice waffle. If you’re a foodie who loves chef-driven menus, seasonal creativity, and flavors that keep you guessing, Fillet Sushi deserves a spot on your must-try list. Save this for your next SGV food adventure👀🍣 Thank you for having me @filletsushi 🍣Fillet Sush 618 S Myrtle Ave, Monrovia, CA 91016 #MonroviaEats #HiddenGemLA #SGVFood #SushiLovers #lafoodie

    The best sushi restaurant I’ve experienced in years! The quality of the food was exceptional and the entire restaurant was clean, welcoming— no fish smell at all, which was the first indicator of quality. The sushi and sashimi were buttery and fresh. I have celiac and our server Stephanie, walked me through the whole menu. It was amazing. They make all sauces in house and other than fried foods— nearly every roll and every item can be modified for gluten free and celiac safe. I cannot emphasize enough how fresh the fish was. The rainbow roll, the yellowtail jalapeño roll and the nigiri— just so delicious. Their yuzu sorbet is also gf and was so refreshing. Don’t hesitate— their omakase can also be fully modified!

    My family stumbled upon Fillet Sushi by happenstance about a year ago. This is now our go to place for sushi/Japanese cuisine. Service is always great, sushi/food is scrumptious , chef is welcoming and thoughtful in his creations. Omakase is a wonderful. I don’t usually have dessert but I make room for their Croissant Pudding with Soy Sauce Ice Cream. I haven’t had one bad experience or one less than spectacular meal. Neighborhood gem!

    T is the best, kindest, creative, thoughtful sushi chef. He expands your experience and senses with sushi and takes you on a journey with each bite. Eating here allows you to be present and have an amazing experience. Be prepared for awe and wonder of a national park with every bite. Present moment appreciation and gratitude for his art. The staff is also so kind and attentive. The entire vibe here is appreciated.
