19 Best Sushi Bars in Pasadena

“I'm giving Oji a five star rating because I have been coming here for years--at least the past 6 years. Most of the time, the food is great! My recent visit--the crispy tuna appetizer was flavorless and a bit chewy in a less than fresh way. Although this was my first time at Oji in a while, I was surprised because normally the food is delicious! Service was good. I'll try again Oji!

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍“

“Ok. So I have to start out by saying im not a big fan of sushi. Im your typical California roll or fried sushi. Having said that this place changed the way I think about sushi! I always wondered how real Japanese sushi would taste and I have a feeling this place is certainly close to that. I had recently watched a documentary on Netflix and how this one place in Japan you just trust the chef to serve you delicious 😋 sushi! Well this is place does the same and boy it doesn't disappoint. I've never had salmon melt in my mouth like that or had sushi rice taste sooo good. And the ginger ! Thats real stuff

I would highly recommend this place. Will certainly be coming back.“

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“Salad Dressing is amazing. Parking is horrible. They said 10-15 for my order. 25 minutes and I got a $52 Parking Citation🤬🤬🤬🤬“

“This place is legit. Super nice fish served at the right temp. The quality/cuts of fish are up there with the best of them. They take care in what they do and know who they are. Service is very attentive and caring. Sushi chefs always go the extra mile with us and really make us feel welcome, seen and appreciated. The prices are friendly. Love this place. Oh yea, and they are open late!“

“Neighborhood’s Japanese Restaurant with good Value !“

“Pleasantly surprised by this sushi place, the experience was really great. The quality of the ingredients is good and everything was very delicious. They have a conveyor belt for added fun but most of the time they just bring you the dishes. The portions are big and prices are fair. Staff are very friendly and hard working, interior is beautifully decorated and clean.“

“If you like Sushi like I like Sushi this is the place with their AYCE menu. Laura is an amazing person to know, great energy. The staff is very attentive and knowledgeable, I always enjoy going there. When you go tell them you read Don's review, thanks! Enjoy“

“Best sushi place I have eaten at with lots of thai & japanese dishes. I have tried other sushi places in the area but the quality of sushi at Oba is incomparable. I have been taste testing sushi places all over LA & SGV but I find myself back here every single time. No other sushi restaurant suits my palate like Oba.

The staff themselves are incredibly welcoming. 100/10!!

i recommend placing a reservation over the phone (super easy process) to avoid a waiting as this place is very popular for its quality dishes :D“

“Food was good, a bit on the salty side. Price is right, not expensive with a smaller serving portion. There are $10 lunch specials until 4 pm. Service a bit inconsistent among waiters and waitresses. Some were attentive and friendly while some just OK. It’s not bad, but not like so good that I want to go back again. We sat right by the door and a bit annoyed with cold air blown in whenever customers went in and out of the restaurant.“

“The food was delicious, One of the best sushi in Pasadena“

“This place was awesome. the fish was extremely good and the service was fast. I'm not sure why it is rated so poorly, but I had a wonderful experience here and I would definitely return if I lived in the area!“

“There is room for dine-in, though I usually grab takeout. They sometimes use part of the seating space to store extra things, but it is a small location, and I understand the squeeze. All their food is delicious and at great prices.
If you are in Altadena and craving sushi, this is a great local place to grab it.
Sometimes, I will grab sushi from here and grab boba next door at YinYang.

Parking: If picking up, there are 20-minute parking spots by the door. Usually one is available.“

“Always an amazing time here. Been coming to this location for years now. Service is second to none and food is delicious.“

“The hamachi serrano is perfection!“

“Best sushi on the West Side ❤️“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“Absolute perfection. The food, the service and the atmosphere are outstanding. The most buttery, delicious salmon I’ve ever had…couldn’t stop eating the salmon hand rolls. Every single thing had incredible flavor and melted in your mouth, staring with the garlic edamame. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed.“
