My favorite sushi restaurant in Monterey County! Had dinner with my family at Mika and everything we ordered was delicious. This restaurant has the best tempura I’ve ever had because it was lightly battered and fried to perfection. I had the chirashi as the main course and the fish was so fresh. The owners are very friendly and obviously care about the quality of service and food. I can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful atrium/courtyard area is bright, spacious and the acoustics are quiet even with all the tables full. The sushi is, well let's say: "Amazing sushi" phonetically in Japanese, you could say: Sugoi (すごい) = amazing, incredible "Yabai! Osushi!" (やばい)is slang and context-dependent, but in this case, it means something like "insanely good!" or "crazy delicious!" The service is kind courteous and attentive and the owners are friendly and welcoming. We moved nearby recently and this is one of our new favorite places. Also the prices are very reasonable, great starters and a good selection of local . 5 stars all around.

Exceptional. Tasty fresh fish on the sushi. First time having the Hamachi Kama (fish collar), definitely recommend it. We were seated right away, very warm welcome. The server was prompt and knowledgeable. All in all the hospitality and quality of food was amazing. We will be back.

Visited on 7/3/25 with my family. We were seated promptly in the covered courtyard once we arrived (very dog-friendly!). There is also seating available indoors with a cozier vibe. The service here is impeccable, and the food is delicious, fresh, and authentic. The menu contains a great mixture of Japanese and Korean cuisine. I highly recommend the sashimi combination; the quality is amazing, and the price too! Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious Japanese and Korean food in Carmel!

We ordered Poke bowl and Chirashi. The fish and vegetables were all fresh and delicious. It was good to put Spicy Sauce (Korean chilly paste based sauce) in the Poke bowl. Fried vegetables were crunchy. The restaurant was neat, well organized and the atmosphere was really good. We all had a great time

If you’re craving Korean food and solid sushi I recommend! AUTHENTIC KOREAN FLAVOR! I’m born and raised in Korea, vacationing here in Carmel Valley Ranch. I was craving some Asian food. Surprised to find nagasaki jjampong on the menu and I was expecting the white broth one that I see at pochas in Korea, but it actually was the red Korean jjampong. I was slightly sad but that took a quick turn and I was very happy with it because it was so authentic, so good with lots of seafood in it. Sushi was also great and overall super great price! Highly recommend.
