we got a reservation quickly after the rose bowl and had a nice time. it was busy at the door but once we got seated everything went smoothly. Great food!

Food is always great and they're super attuned to dietary restriction. They've always been able to tell me (or adapt for me) items to make sure that I have a great gluten free meal.

We love the sushi here and we got a very private booth which was nice. The only downside was we had to wait on our server a lot. From ordering to getting our food, she was nice but show to check on us or bring us drinks and food. Otherwise it was a great experience.
Nia
Was very fresh and tasty! Our waiter was amazing, didn't catch her name but was very good experience overall.
Angie
It was a chill and relaxing experience. Not a lot of people were there due to the fact it was a Tuesday night, which was perfect because it can be crowded on the weekends. The food was delicious and their drinks were good as well. It is great for date night or even going with friends / family. Very elegant but not overly elegant. Def 5/5
Nancy
Great service! Was there for happy hour celebrating a friend's birthday. Great service and food! Thank you for allowing us to stay there for nearly 6 hours!
Jill
It was very noisy. Hard to have a conversation. The wagu beef skewer tasted old. Off Couldn't eat it. The albacore sushi was very small. Tastes less We liked the miso soup The tempera vegetables were okay. But should have had small pieces As we were sharing. Big chunk of Broccoli. Not enough Disappointed.
Chet Patel
Great selection of sushi, super fresh and tasty! Sat in the bar area. They had a DJ playing some great music and everyone was having a blast. Great location in old town Pasadena. Highly recommended.

Absolutely loved the food and service. It’s not inexpensive but worth the price.
Liana M treated out so well. Loved her style and knowledge of the menu.
My other friends shared five rolls that all looked good.
I intended to share my two non-sushi items with another friend. The rib eye wrapped asparagus hit the spot with enough to share. And the four bacon wrapped shrimp were so tasty but not enough to share. Oh and the ribeye well tasted so good I ate them all. Sorry-Not-Sorry, Shavon.
Next time I will request the same table, number 33. Loved how we were in the middle of the restaurant but tucked into intimate corner. Greet design and use of space.

Have been to Sushi Roku many times and it’s always a solid experience. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, stylish yet comfortable, and their recent updates made the space even nicer. It’s so green and lush!
The food quality is consistently good, and the presentation is beautiful. As a vegan, my options are currently a bit limited, but what I have had has always been fresh and delicious. For anyone who eats fish or meat, the menu is much more extensive and creative.
Their wine list is strong, and even though wines by the glass run between $16 and $20, I’ve always found the selections to be excellent. The cocktails are also really well made.
The host stand is always welcoming, and the service overall has been consistently attentive and friendly. On a few occasions I’ve had a server who was truly fantastic, not only efficient but also genuinely warm and positive, which made the meal that much more enjoyable.
It is on the pricier side and the bill can add up quickly, but between the food, service, and overall ambience, Sushi Roku is one of my favorite spots in Old Pasadena for a special night out. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is because of the limited vegan options, but if you are a fish eater, this would very likely be a five star restaurant for you!

We've been to Sushi Roku in Santa Monica but this was our first visit to the Pasadena location. Both my boyfriend and I had a long day at work and just wanted to come relax and have a nice dinner— that's exactly what we got! The food was delicious and the drinks recommended by our server Gary were amazing! He was extremely attentive. Will definitely be back.
