27 Best Japanese Restaurants near Pasadena

“Consistently great food and service.“

“The food is amazing. It was really good, but as for the yaki soba, there was just so much of it. There was a serving for about 4 people. It's a lot of food.The internal decor was an odd choice. It's a mix of japanese thing and boat stuff. It's just feels weird. But honestly, it's a nit pick.Definitely would come back.“

“Me and my daughter had a beautiful shared experience here and this is now one of my favorite if not my favorite!!!! And the waitress is an amazing artist!!!!“

“This place is definitely a hole in the wall spot! The atmosphere was amazing, we ordered 8 rolls and it came out rather quickly. Our personal favorites were the Terp, Sarah, dynamite and the black eye! The service was also wonderful, our waiter checking up on us, seeing how we were doing and giving us updates, would definitely suggest trying this place out!“

“Definitely the best sushi you can get at any airport and better than most non airport sushi restaurants. Budi that works at Baltimore is great with the customers and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend.“

“I eat here so much I can't believe I'm just writing a review. Here's what I appreciate about Sushi Q...always consistent. The food is always prepared well. Everything tastes fresh and the service is always good. Their signature sushi rolls are amazingly creative and always good. My favorite of all of them is the Veterans Highway roll with real crabmeat. You have to try it. It doesn't matter if you eat in or get takeout, you will not go wrong here! Next time I'll take a pic of the deliciousness!“

“Sexy jalapeño my favorite! If you haven’t tried…… try it!!!“

“Vegetarian options: Vegetable hibachi! Need I say more?!Dietary restrictions: We had a gluten free guest with us who had a wonderful and beautiful dish that was cooked on a separate grill with different sauce. Staff was very helpful with telling us what sauces or foods had gluten.Kid-friendliness: Nice noodle and meat dishes for the picky kids!“

“I went today for the first time and it's going to my new sushi spot. We moved to the area almost 2 years ago and have been trying all the spots. This place just blew me away. Sushi is such a personal experience and this felt like home. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. They have a robust menu outside sushi. I also really liked their specialty roll options. Less sauces and lots of fresh options. The miso soup was flavorful and rich with seaweed. My family and I are going to be new regulars.“

“Review Update:We have seen a major improvement in the service and food since my last review and they are back to being the best sushi spot in Annapolis. Highly recommend!We’ve been going here for years and have told all of our neighbors it’s the best sushi in Annapolis. Unfortunately, the last 2 times we ordered we’ve been really disappointed with the quality of the fish. The yellow tail has been chewy and overly fishy, the tuna was such a deep red it looked like it had been dyed and had no flavor, and the scallop was just a mess of mush and again overly fishy. I shared out disappointment with a mgr who said she was going to call me back and never did. Not sure we’ll be back, such a bummer.“

“I come here every now and then, and the service is always fast and friendly. The prices are reasonable. For comparison the tonkatsu is $14.55, a couple miles down the road its $18.95. The sushi for 2 was $37 and came with lots of food. It was delicious!“

“We have a wonderful dinner at Akira Ramen. Will be back..“

“Outstanding quality, atmosphere and service since I’ve been born.The expansion of the dining hall since I haven’t eaten here in over 10yrs is very impressive including the culture and authenticity just as much in the environment that’s also included in the food makes the experience priceless.The cost is perfect for the area and attraction of affordable nutrients.Melissa my server was great!Parking: Dowtown Annapolis surrounding great views of the shopping outlets available in neighboring distance.“

“The food is exceptional, although it can be found looking up Chinese food, it's Japanese American hibachi style food. It's the only "Chinese" my husband will eat. I am a little disappointed that they don't offer pork, but I do understand their reasoning. Would definitely recommend.“

“Since the 'pandemic' the Dine-In is no longer an option. However they do such a good job & are so well liked the joint is jumping. Regardless of your liking Sushi, Thai, Chinese or Japanese dishes all of them are done well, w/o breaking the bank. . . you just got to go home and eat cuz their dining-room is closed.“

“Great food, great wait staff. Been going there for years and it's only gotten better over time.“

“The food was really fresh and delicious. The ambiance was lovely. They were very friendly and welcoming too! I wish I could give them 6 stars. Exceptional service for a cute little spot. Get some of the calamari, best in the area! And the prices were great.“

“I just have to say this is by far my favorite sushi resturaunt ive ever been to and their food never dissapoints. I have relied on their sushi in times of personal grief, depression, and mania. I love this place so much. I wish I could tip all of the chefs $100 each everytime I order from here I just love them. I can't reccomend this place enough. their chicken teriyaki is bomb, shrimp teriyaki is bomb, their spring rolls are delicious and crispy, their sushi is AMAZING I highly reccomend their rolls that feature their spicy tuna especially! (My favorite is the volcano roll) but most of all surprisingly my favorite item on their menu is their yum yum sauce, it's to die for. I don't know what they put it in it but it's better than any other yum yum sauce I've ever had. I just can't say enough about this place I genuinely love it. Thank you for keeping me fed and happy bento's hibachi I seriously appreciate the work you guys do.“

“The food is tasty and they are pretty quick with their service. They now have a self ordering kiosk which we haven't used but plan to next time. I only gave the atmosphere 3 stars because it's not much for atmosphere. They have a few tables to sit and eat but I never used them. Mostly sit and wait. Overall they give you a decent amount of food. If you have a lot of orders they give you a box to carry your stuff out. But that was recent due to the plastic bag ban.“

“Definitely the best sushi you can get at any airport and better than most non airport sushi restaurants. Budi that works at Baltimore is great with the customers and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend.“

“As a Director operations in one of the luxury hotels in Washington DC I am extremely focused on customer service and I genuinely believe that Caroline is an asset to your restaurant, please give her a good raise and take care of her because she is extremely Custemor focused, very smiley and proactive who was absolutely making sure that me and my friends were all taken care, because of Caroline’s hospitality I am going to recommend this restaurant to all my network in DC, also the food is also extremely delicious, the best thing about this restaurant is that they don’t play loud music so you can sit and chit chat, great atmosphere overall and surely a must visit.“

“My first time here and the food was excellent and the waiter made sure we always had drinks. We will be back.“

“Been here multiple times in a short period because they are consistently delicious! Photos were rushed I was so hungry. The honeydew melon smoothie is the best thing Ive drank.. if there is a previous review saying something was the best im sorry ... this is it! I tried kiwi as well and it was so perfectly sweet and sour. The noodles are cooked well the food is great. The dumplings were delicious and we tried the tempura shrimp burrito it was great as well. I love the quiet and cleaniness of the eating area.“
