“ How many ways do I love MON?!! Too many to count! The food is ALWAYS AMAZING. The service is always amazing. The ambiance is equally amazing. Seriously. If you haven't been you need to go because you are missing out. The Ramen is next level. The sushi is divine. And, they're family owned and operated. They literally take so much pride and all they do. I promise you'll love it so much that you will remember to post a positive review yourself. ”

“ The Ramen is fantastic. Definitely worth the visit. It's across the street from Corbin Bowl, so I'll be back on Thursday evenings before league. The Japanese owners are very friendly and attentive. ”

“ Mon Japanese has some of he best Nigiri I have ever had in my life. The cuts of fish are generous, the rice is perfect, and the service is great. A hidden gem on Ventura Blvd. ”

“ If you're looking for a Japanese restaurant that serves sushi that will transport you to Japan, this is it. The restaurant itself is traditionally decorated and gives the comforting vibe of a mom and pop shop. I imagine this is what it would feel like to go to a cozy family-owned sushi diner in Japan where I could easily become a regular. The fish is incredibly fresh, the sushi selection is vast (with some fish coming straight from Japan), and if sushi isn't your thing, they have a variety of fantastic cooked options to choose from as well. We ordered the scallop, toro, yellowtail, ikura (salmon roe), amaebi (sweet shrimp), red snapper, flying fish, oysters, and spicy scallop hand roll -- and everything we ate was absolutely fantastic (we ordered a few of these more than once). The fish was cut so well it melted in our mouths and left us wanting more. The hand roll was perfectly wrapped and the nori kept its structure as it was being consumed (and if you're an avid hand roll enjoyer, you know how annoying it is when the nori gets soggy). The oysters were beautifully garnished and cut in a way that allowed us to eat it with chopsticks instead of getting our fingers dirty (the preparation was a pleasant surprise and something we've never seen before). We asked for a recommendation and Yuji-san prepared the flying fish nigiri from Japan -- it was our first time trying it and we were blown away by how delicate, light, and delicious it was. For dessert, the banana tempura with matcha ice cream was the perfect way to wrap up the meal. The tempura banana was light and fried to perfection, giving a nutty, savory taste that was balanced by the cooling, earthy matcha ice cream. Our bellies were very much full of food by the end of the meal but we didn't feel like we were going to burst thanks to the soothing hot tea Noriko-san brought out. Yuji-san (the chef) and Noriko-san (his wife) are some of the kindest souls I've had the pleasure of meeting, and each dish came out perfectly paced for us to enjoy and our cups were never empty. We will definitely be coming back with friends and family, and I would highly recommend Mon Japanese Restaurant to anyone craving authentic Japanese food. *** I wanted to add that I've ordered delivery from here quite a few times now (I always get the premium chirashi) and it always comes securely packaged and labeled -- and they somehow manage to maintain the freshness as well, which speaks volumes on the quality of their ingredients IMO. Now that I'm done writing this review, I may just reward myself with a premium chirashi bowl for delivery (yum!) ”

“ No words other than PERFECTION. I'm never disappointed when I come here the ramen slaps the sushi slaps the one thing that doesn't slap : the servers. Which is a good thing who'd want to be slapped by their server? The service is great. And I love how honey it feels. Please come eat here and tell me I'm wrong You will not be disappointed like ever. Unless your taste buds suck. Then that's a you problem ”

“ Stopped by quickly for lunch. First time here and we got a grande roll, shrimp scampi roll and the crispy tuna rice cakes. Food was all delicious and service was quick. Can't wait to try more things. ”

“ This is the best ramen spot in the Valley! You know when you find that little hole in the wall well this is a hole in a nice area just small so make sure it going to eat inside To go early or for lunch this place on the weekends can be happening it's so good the broth is just right and their California rolls are so good! ”

“ We used to love Mon Ramen in Woodland Hills and were so bummed when it closed down earlier this summer! So we had to try the OG location to get our fix and they did not disappoint. The tsukemen ramen was great as always - there are very few places in the Valley I've been able to find that have tsukemen without going out to Sawtelle. We also ordered inari, volcano roll, Munchy hand roll (my husband's go-to order from Mon Ramen), and a spicy salmon roll. The only roll we weren't a fan of was the salmon one as it tasted like it had horseradish in it. All the rest were fantastic though. After dinner the owner, Noriko, brought us some nice cool mochi which was perfect on this hot summer night! ”
