Cousin J wanted Japanese food for her birthday, so The Mon was suggested. Environment & Hygiene:The place was spacious, and we got a table in the corner, which gave us a lot of privacy. The dimmed lighting created a laid back ambience. I liked the vintage beer posters they had hanging at the door. Service:The staff were always around to help us.

Food & Value:
There was so much that we wanted to have, so we each chose a few different dishes.
How can a Japanese restaurant charge for tea. There were 4 different types to choose from and, all priced at $30 a pot. We chose Rice Tea.
Frozen Beer ($50) This was my first time having frozen beer, and I thought it was interesting. The frozen top had a light taste of beer. It was like having an iced chocolate with chocolate ice cream on top. Haha.
Toyo Roll DELICIOUS! Fresh avocado and eel wrapped in a warm crepe was absolutely delicious! It was our favourite of the night! MUST GET! This alone is enough to get me to visit again!
Omelette with Crab The egg had a smooth and soft texture, but it honestly didn't have much taste. My sister said it tasted better with the radish on the side.The crab tasted fresh, but it also came with shells. Ha. It was okay; nothing special.
The Mon Salad This is one of their recommended dishes. Although the dressing was very nice, there was basically nothing to this salad, as there was nothing but leaves and seaweed. I would recommend it for the taste, but not the value.
White Fish Sashimi This was okay. The sashimi was thinly sliced, and the vinegary dipping sauce on the side complimented it well.
Grilled Eggplants Good! The eggplants were soft, moist, and tasty!
Grilled Corn and Ox Tongue I didn't try these 2, but my 2 cousins said both were good.
Grilled Chicken Wings Cooked just right, with the meat still very juicy and tender, but over seasoned as it was very salty.
Chicken Karaage The chicken was juicy and flavourful, but there was also more skin and batter than meat we thought.
Scallop Pancake ($65)This was a soso dish. The scallops were tough and scarce, and the batter was tasteless and thick. It had a chicken sauce like dipping sauce, which was a weird choice we thought. I wouldn't recommend this.
Tuna Belly Roll ($180) This was a little disappointing. It looked so tasty, but no flavours were strong enough to stand out. We felt like we were just eating a Japanese rice ball.
Final Verdict:The toyo roll was outstanding, and we had a great time. Would go again.
