Rachelle C: Loved the big Ryan roll, Mahalo Roll and spicy tuna handroll. Good shrimp tempura, beef short rib and fresh oysters.
Jason Lombard: Best sushi in Monterey, hands down. Attentive service too. Try the spicy tuna roll—you won't be disappointed. I'm told the hamachi is also quite good!
Laura Merlin: The mussels shooter tasted like the sea, so fresh! The lunch deals are good: I had the California roll, the spicy tuna, the tempura shrimp and avocado, all great...and the sesame chicken was so yummy
Shauna: Try the Chipotle Chicken Pizza - Smells great. Is slightly spicy and a little sweet.
Monica Wilmot: Habañero Carnitas Pizza. OMG. So good! It's a pizza that tastes like a taco; my two fave foods. The habañero sauce has a nice heat to it but not too spicy. Try it!
Victor Emm 🎮: Jambalaya Fettuccine -Shrimp, crawfish, andouille sausage and tasso ham in a spice (very spice) cajun sauce. #delicious
Reid Weber: Try the habanero shark repellent. Hot!
Natasha T: The staff here is awesome! It was super busy one night and they mixed up my order. To compensate, they maxed out an empty 'Frequent Muncher' card for me. Free slice, salad & soda next time I visit!
SeeMonterey: Vegetarian or not, the Linda Mar is fantastic!

Steve Larson: The breakfast is always a must do, had the egg puff with jalapeños, fantastic. Also grabbed a dessert for the road, always a wise choice.
Vickie Lester: Love the minestrone soup. Have a bowl every time I'm in Monterey.
Kimberly Allen: One of my favorite restaurants. The staff are very friendly and have been there for years. Casual atmosphere, breakfast and the scrumptious cakes are best..

Itai Jamshy: Great value and nice service. I got the Lamb Coconut Curry and it was amazing. Our kids enjoyed the meal too.
Tonya Staab: Lunch buffet from 11:30-2:30 weekdays. It gets fairly busy early - by 1:30 it was almost empty. No kids menu, but there is salad, fruit, rice & naan for picky little eaters & juice w/ lids & straws Read more.
John Tracey: #9 Grilled Five Spice Chicken: a must try if you can handle the heat. #11 Lemon Grass Beef packs all the flavors to make you smile. Then, treat yourself deep fried banana with green tea ice cream!
Grace Cosentino: I love this place!!! Their lemon grass beef on noodles is awesome!!! Plus they have Boba teas and a huge variety of flavors! Also their peanut sauce is the BEST EVER!!!
Vincente Zito: Just got Hella sick and I think if may have been from chopstix. But it was good going down!!!
