I was definitely skeptical of the ramen here but I’m a believer now. It’s worth the wait. During lunch they have a great ramen combo deal that comes with a roll (California or spicy tuna) as a side and it’s such a good value. The broth is amazing. Their other menu items are also fresh and well done. Such a little gem in Monterey Park. It has easily become one of my favorite lunch spots

We were a party of 5 and checked in to the waitlist; the hostess ask if we wanted to break into two separate tables, and I asked would we be sitting together and she said not sure; I said prefer to wait and she seemed annoyed ( what’s the use of have dinner with family if we are separated). Overall the food looked pretty impressive but for me too much sauce on most sushi dishes which really took away from the actual items order; the ramen had way too much bean sprouts ( more than noodles) and similar either grill salmon, waaay too much onions; only item was the salmon sashimi which was excellent; also the waiter was friendly and courteous…no issues there

This spot was delicious!! I honestly didn’t know this place existed. We were greeted nicely and our server was very polite. The place is a little tight seating wise. The food taste delicious and so did my michelada lol I’m not sure if they have back parking I parked on the street. I was also told that sometimes there is a line to get in there. Luckily for us that was not the case. Awesome spot!

Okay this sushi place is great. Don't be fool by the hidden small location. The rolls are fresh and tasty. I ordered the CA roll and the Salmon skin roll. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly.

The Salmon Sashimi and Hamachi Kama were good. The ramen was ok. The sushi rolls were smothered in heavy sauces--hard to see, let alone taste, the ingredients. They seem to strongly discourage parties of five or more, threatening long wait time, if you decline their offer to split the party.

Excellent and fresh sushi. I absolutely enjoy the sashimi and rolls here. Large portions! I found this place during the pandemic and use to order take out all the time. We finally started dining in and omg, AMAZING! I thought take out was good but dine in is 1000x better. The servers are always so nice and tonight we had Steven taking care of us. Exceptional service. Will always make the trek to get sushi from Kaiba!

Delicious food! I had the salmon and California roll. Green tea ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious.

Fantastic place! Everything we ordered was delicious! Service was above and beyond! Great, knowledgeable and very friendly servers! Fresh fish was melting in the mouth! We will be back:)

I've made a couple of visits here, and I must say, the service has consistently been top-notch. I’m pretty sure the rolls at this place are on the larger side, and they don't disappoint in taste either. The spider roll caught my attention due to its unique setup – the soft shell crab is mostly concentrated at the end pieces, while the middle ones are really just huge California rolls. The rainbow and tiger rolls are standouts in their own right. And the sashimi was an absolute delight, accompanied by some premium wasabi. They only have indoor seating. If you're on the hunt for parking, you won't find it in the front, check the back instead! Oh, and here's a nifty tip – if you check in on Yelp, you can get a free soda!

What a pleasant surprise Kaiba turned out to be! We’ve driven by many times but finally stopped by for lunch. There was 2 names ahead of our party of 5 but the time went quick and we were seated in about 15 minutes. The lunch special is such a deal! A bowl of ramen and side of sushi was more than enough and there is no “smaller” portion for lunch time specials. It’s just a plain and simple deal! The service was efficient, quick and friendly. In and out in a little over an hour without feeling rushed. We tried a few appetizers but really didn’t need that as we were all full from our own lunch sets! They made a lot of seating/dining area in a small space.

This place is not your traditional sushi restaurant. It has an happy hour vibe and serves modern heavy sauce rolls, ramen, and sashimi. Their portions are HUGE and price is unbeatable! Food came out fast and friendly staffs. Most of tables or booths are setup for 4 people, so it's not a great place for large group. You will also receive a free vanilla or green tea ice cream when you check-in on Yelp. Again, I wouldn't come here for traditional sashimi. But if you are hungry, this place will fill you up!

This place is absolutely incredible! The food here is absolutely delicious and tasty, the service here is really good and are really kind, and the place is really clean and welcoming! I would recommend this place to anybody who is looking for a good restaurant and is a big fan of sushi!!

Great place to have sushi they are always busy so if you don't mind the wait. But it is so worth it, I'm not a sushi expert but the sushi is delicious and fresh. I basically have the sushi rolls but my friends tried the Tonkotsu Ramen and they loved it.

Really fresh and tasty food! We enjoyed Vegas roll and Salmon rolls! The spicy garlic edamame adds up as side! The portions were good and packaged nicely for the delivery! Highly recommended and definitely worth the price!

Very nice service. The 3 stars are actually for the gentleman who served us. Because the food is not up to that 3. The taste is okay. However the sushi rolls were extremely loosen and easily broken into pieces without even picking it up. Also, the big minus point is that I almost choked on a piece of bone in salmon (I forgot to take pictures of that, but I told the staff about it so that they can be more careful). So be very careful, especially if you have kids.

This is a place just to eat fast, the quality of sushi was good. The only thing I didn’t like it was you have to wait to get seated inside and they’re serving you so fast and quick. so you have to eat so fast and leave the table! so definitely not a nice place for date night or hang out. Also, don’t forget to sign up at yelp and get a free ice cream.

This Japanese place us where you get great food, excellent service and value for money. But it gets crowded very fast and people are lining up in the rain to get in when we were there last night. Enough said, come experience the "Wow".

Amazing Sashimi combo. Spicy garlic edamame was a solid. Fried calamari rings were pretty good but just ehhh overall.

Had the Ramen lunch special which includes a sushi roll for a few dollars more. The ramen was ok. Looking at what people ordered it seems the sushi rolls are the best thing here. The dining area is relatively small but they do have counter spots. There’s a parking lot in the back but it’s confusing because there are signs for employee parking. There’s street parking available in front.

Had their lunch special. Overall very good. Monkey brain was huge, the spicy tuna roll was really good. The Michelada was the weakest thing I had there.

Great food. Great service. Second time here and it hasn't disappointed. We got the spicy tuna on crispy rice and the small sashimi platter with a side of white rice. Everything very delicious.

We chose to visit Kaiba because they received a 4.6 in Google reviews and they were 15 minutes away from our hotel. The place was small and not in a cute cozy way, but in a cramped hectic way. Our table was near the kitchen and prep area for to go orders, so there was a lot of foot traffic. The staff was friendly, but too busy to really provide a warm welcome or reliable attention. There wasn’t a kids menu. I ordered my daughter their chicken teriyaki on a sizzling plate as well as a side of edamame and miso soup. I asked them to hold the sizzling plate and the bed of onions the chicken was served on. The chicken was cooked well and the teriyaki sauce was balanced. The miso soup and edamame tasted as expected; nothing really stood out. We tried their Kaiba roll (albacore, shrimp tempura, krab meat, cream cheese, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño in Kaiba sauce) and Fire roll (spicy krab meat, avocado, cucumber, spicy tuna, spicy crunch with fire sauce). Personally, I thought the rolls were too large; had to cut them in half to eat. We also thought the plates were too busy and had useless or excessive components. We didn’t even notice the fire sauce on the fire roll plate as it was underneath a mound of green onions. The albacore on the Kaiba roll looked old and was a tad dry. For both rolls, there should have been more focus on flavors and simplicity. Their Mango tango cocktail was deliciously dangerous. The flavor was amazing and it had a kick to it. I would come back only for this cocktail. We spent about $100 (including tip), but it was money wasted. I definitely left feeling full, but not satisfied.
