30 Best Sushi Bars in Pasadena

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“This is a MUST! Make sure to get a reservation, it's small and packed! It's a testimony to their craft. The food is so delicious, the staff and service were unmatched, and it's honestly one of the best sushi dining experiences I've ever had. There was no bad choice. I can't wait to go back.“

“My girlfriend and I recently visited Sushigah during a brief trip from San Diego, and we were thoroughly impressed. With high expectations for sushi, we found Sushigah to be exceptional. We began with a seaweed salad and Crispy Rice, followed by Salmon Sashimi, the Cucumber Special Roll, a Salmon Handroll, and a Spicy Salmon Roll.

Each dish was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with the salmon sashimi practically melting in our mouths. The temperature of the dishes was perfect, and the presentation was outstanding. Sushigah has definitely earned a spot as a must-visit destination for us whenever we're in Pasadena.“

“I feel like this place would be a lot more popular if it was in a better location. A really nice restaurant offering a large selection of Japanese and Thai food. I only tried the sushi omakase and it was quite good. Good quality and presentation, with all sorts of different fish. Reasonably priced too, great spot for families and groups.“

“We had a great meal here. Much more chill than Aikan and we liked the options better because we don't need all you can eat. We had a mix of tuna, salmon, California rolls, as well as avocado, cucumber, vegetable and even a teriyaki chicken roll. We each enjoyed what we got.“

“Neighborhood’s Japanese Restaurant with good Value !“

“My first time experience here on Friday was pleasant. This establishment was clean from the restroom to the table. The staff was friendly and eager to make you comfortable which was great considering it was 109 degrees heatwave outside. The chef did a good job with the flavor & presentation of my order. I’ll definitely be back when in the neighborhood again.“

“I have been coming here for 3 yrs. The staff are so friendly and the sashimi is always fresh!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Best sushi on the West Side ❤️“

“Our experience at SushiStop was excellent! The whole atmosphere was fun and inviting, and Michelle was the nicest waitress ever. She was so fun, kind, and inviting, and she provided excellent service. We ordered the chicken teriyaki, tempura, and had some nigiri. We had the belly trio and the cured mackerel. It was absolutely delicious, melt in your mouth sushi. Excellent quality for the price. I enjoyed the dice game they had us play for the beers too!

Thank you, Michelle! You're amazing! :)“

“Unassuming from the outside, but a truly great Japanese restaurant. Great quality on the seafood. The basic chirashi was very good with a fantastic variety of sashimi.

“It’s my second time in this sushi restaurant. The service started out slow on a busy Friday night but it quickly improved.We loved the seaweed salad, grilled shishito peppers and soft shell crab appetizer. The sashimi, salmon lover roll and Cynthia roll were fresh and nicely prepared. I asked for grilled salmon without teriyaki sauce and it came out nice. The dinner was satisfying.“

“What a nice surprise! Stopped in the plaza right charge my car and pop in for a quick bite. So glad I stopped here. The plate came with two salads (I got the noodles and mandarin orange salad) and both were quite tasty! I had steak and chicken for protein. Both were good. Also came with a grilled veggie kabob. Perfect lunch option that felt healthy and was filling! Also, everyone was really nice!“

“It was such a cozy place with friendly waiters, and a chef who asked into my behaved there. I will definitely come again another time“

“I have been going to Tokyo Wako (the chain) for over a decade and I can firmly say that Juan Jose is the best chef I’ve ever had the pleasure to cook my meal. He was so careful to ensure there was flavor in our food, and that my friend’s allergies were all accommodated. He’s so friendly and made the tastiest meal with care and a smile. Ask for him as your chef when you visit!“
