Monster Sushi, a chain of popular sushi restaurants that are along the same lines as Sen-Ryo and Itamae, are well known for doing more "creative" sushi as opposed to the normal square of rice with a raw slice of salmon on top.A new branch has opened in Causeway Bay's Lee Theater.

A new branch has opened in Causeway Bay's Lee Theater. As I live near this area, boyfriend and I came here for dinner.
Layout is very big and spacious. There is plenty of seating space. In the past there used to be a rotating sushi bar but it seems the new branches have phased that out. So what we get now is an open sushi bar at one end of the restaurant and regular dining space throughout.
Menu is in English and Chinese with photos. You order by writing down the quantity on categorized slips of paper found at each table. They also have a daily fresh catch of the day that you can order into sashimi
Fatty Tuna Sushi ($36). This was one piece and I generally love ordering some form of toro. This was fairly oily and simply melted in my mouth. Loved it.
Sea Urchin and Fatty Tuna Maki ($42). From the photos, we saw there was no rice and yes....there really is no rice. It's just mashed fatty tuna, wrapped in nori and topped with sea urchin. All this placed on a bed of ice which made this entire thing REALLY REALLY cold. Sea urchin was fresh and yeah...I just love fatty tuna.
Stuffed Chicken Wings with Dumpling ($45). I liked this. The chicken wings were stuffed with the meat usually found in gyzoa. It reminded me of the chicken skin gyzoa I had in Nagoya which is possibly the most unhealthiest thing one could ever put in one's mouth but OH SO GOOD. This is the exact same feeling.

Seared Salmon and Crab with Cream Cheese Roll ($36). I liked this quite a bit. It was a block of cream cheese and salmon wrapped in rice and topped with a crab salad. Yes, it sounds disgusting but it actually all works and tasted pretty good.

Egg Omelette with Shrimp and Cheese ($26). We decided to try out one their various different omelette selections. This was ok but not something I would order again. The egg was a bit too sweet. There wasn't much shrimp but a lot of cheese in it.
California Hand Roll Roll ($22). I love to order a California hand roll as I love the mix of flying fish roe, crab stick, avocado and mayo all wrapped with nori and rice. Well...this was one dismal hand roll as there was a lot of rice but very little crab stick and flying fish roe. Avocado was also missing. I was rather sad about this.
Spicy Miso Pot with Snow Crab ($148). We saw they had a limited time only winter menu so we tried this out. There was a lot of crab legs that tasted ok but were a bit on the bland side. It was laid on top of some miso soup that was heavily doused with shichimi togarashi. It was a bit heavy handed and I didn't like it too much as it covered the miso base.
As mainstream sushi places go, this was alright. They do some sushi that is a bit different and I guess if you want something more than the usual, you can give it a try. Service was ok and food came very quickly. It was ok and I'd probably return again as I know people I hang out with who like to eat at more mainstream Japanese places.
