    I took a friend for dinner and they have been many years since she’s been to this type of restaurant. We had a wonderful meal and the chef was very entertaining and accommodating. My friend cannot eat seafood and she is also lactose intolerant so the chef smells very careful to make sure that he honored her allergies and gave her an excellent meal. We will definitely be back.

    I haven’t been to many sushi restaurants—or restaurants in general that can successfully scale up while maintaining the same level of quality and excellence. From the hostesses to the food to the ambiance, this place nailed it. The service is consistently great, and the food never disappoints. I used to go to the smaller spot across the parking lot, but now that they’ve expanded, it’s even better I can get a seat much faster than before. Well done!

    Absolutely loved the dinner experience at Monaco Encino. Tasty drinks with a wonderful presentation, delicious homemade pasta, and I'm still thinking about their Malabi Martini dessert. The manager and servers were so nice and welcoming too! Definitely a place to try for a date night or girls night!
