Why go
Monster Sushi is a practical Sarrià-Sant Gervasi pick for casual sushi when location and easy booking matter more than ceremony. Choose it for a flexible lunch or relaxed dinner in the upper part of Barcelona; cross-shop Barra Alta Barcelona for modern cuisine at a clearer €€ tier or Botafumeiro when seafood is the priority.
About Monster Sushi
Monster Sushi is a Barcelona venue with a casual dress code and clearly defined daily opening windows. It works best as a practical listing for planning around its afternoon and evening hours.
The schedule is split between afternoon and evening hours every day. Monday to Thursday, Monster Sushi opens from 1:30–4 PM and 8–11 PM. Friday to Sunday, it opens from 1:30–4:30 PM and 8 PM–12 AM. Check the venue directly before making plans that depend on specific seating, dishes, dietary accommodations, or booking policies.
A practical Barcelona choice with clear hours
The decision is fairly simple: choose Monster Sushi if its Barcelona location and opening times fit the plan, do not assume a formal fine-dining structure, published tasting-menu format, or awards-led positioning. For another Barcelona dining option, Barra Alta Barcelona is one comparison. Botafumeiro is another Barcelona option to consider.
For price, seat count, reservation difficulty, chef-led format, bar setup, or signature dishes, plan conservatively and check directly. If the occasion needs visible ceremony, known accolades, or a clearly defined format, compare Monster Sushi with La Flor de Barcelona Restaurant, Pareidolia, or La COCO before committing.
When to choose it, when to cross-shop
The afternoon window is available every day, with a slightly later closing time from Friday to Sunday. Evening hours also run daily, ending at 11 PM Monday to Thursday and midnight from Friday to Sunday. Dress is casual, so formal attire is not required.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Monster Sushi presents itself as a neighbourhood sushi address anchored on Plaça de Gal·la Placídia in Sarrià‑Sant Gervasi. The profile emphasizes a residential, self-contained barrio and a restaurant that bets on repeat local custom rather than tourist footfall, so the room reads as a quietly confident local spot. Service and design lean into the second wave of Japanese‑inflected places in Barcelona that aim for considered, fish‑forward cooking without the formality of high‑Michelin dining. Expect a place that feels familiar to regulars and unhurried in its rhythms, the kind of restaurant people fold into their weekly routines.
Best For
This address is best encountered in the evening, when neighbourhood dining patterns come into focus and the fish‑forward menu feels most at home. The write‑up situates Monster Sushi as a return‑visit restaurant for local residents, so it works well for casual dinners, date nights and small group meals where regularity matters more than spectacle. Positioned away from tourist corridors, the place rewards those seeking an experienced local option rather than a destination novelty. Reservations help on busier nights, but its primary draw is reliable, neighbourhood‑focused Japanese cooking for dinner service.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the menu’s signatures: the Special Breem Roll and aburi preparations showcase the restaurant’s fish‑forward approach, while heartier options like Monster Steak and Crispy Duck demonstrate broader, inventive touches. The Okonomiyaki Pizza and Anticuchero point to playful, cross‑influenced plates—order a mix of rolls, grilled items and the more unusual starters to sample the kitchen’s range. Given the neighbourhood orientation, share plates among companions to taste more dishes, and use the menu’s signature items as anchors for a balanced meal.

If Monster Sushi is not the right fit
Book Barra Alta Barcelona instead if the group wants modern cuisine and a clearer price signal. Pick Botafumeiro if seafood is the main event and sushi is not essential.
