30 Best Japanese Restaurants near Pasadena

“Passion Asian has very delicious foods with lots of choices. We’ve visited the restaurant for a very long time. Everyone is very friendly, professional just a very enjoyable place to enjoy great food. Our only suggestion would be to have the Aquarium taken better care of, it’s the focal point of entering the restaurant. M&K“

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

“Food & service were awesome. You don't get that experience very often nowadays. We got a sushi boat for 2 , a flight of sake(3 kinds, rather small) and a glass of one of my favorite sake brand, Dassai. The pour on the glass was generous, which made me very happy. Mike, the manager was so friendly. Our server was very attentive too. Great that it's minutes from downtown Annapolis, and you don't have to worry about parking: a nice bonus. We'll definitely be back. Soon!“

“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!!!!“

“My wife and I lost power & heat before Christmas so we had to spend the holidays out of the house with our 5 week old daughter. We ate Christmas lunch/dinner at SHIKA sushi &ramen and it was awesome! They really saved the day for us. We are usually 4-6 rolls feasters so thought we’d just start with 3 and go from there. 3 was plenty! The rolls were massive and delicious. The service was great. Poor lady had to fill my water like 10 times. And they sealed the deal with a free piece of cheesecake! Entire meal came in about $50! Highly recommend you go check them out! Cheers!“

“Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Fresh ingredients every single time we were eating there. The last place we wanted to visit while moving out of state. Thanks a lot for great memories. The place where kids fell in love with healthy food and do not choose junk food on the future. The minus is you have difficulty finding equivalent in other cities or states. We will miss you a lot!“

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

“Kelly and team here are top notch- immediately feel welcome and receive amazing hospitality as soon as you walk in the door. Food is consistently delicious. One of our favorites in Annapolis.“

“The food and service is excellent. The wait staff is attentive. They gave us a free appetizer as a palate cleanser and free mini assorted cheesecake desserts. The sushi is awesome. My son had the TripleSushi Deluxe (soup, salad, and sushi were delicious). The rest of us ordered Paradise, Rock and Roll, Yama, and the Goldfish Rolls. All were fresh and tasted awesome. They also have sake, plum wine, and Japanese sodas. Yama Annapolis is a truly Japanese restaurant in food as well as culturally. A must dine while you’re in Annapolis.“

“Our experience was amazing here tonight. The staff was exceptional and super polite as well. The food was just a plus! We will definitely be back. Coming all the way from Colonial Beach, Virginia.“

“Let's be clear- from the food to the customer service, this place is 5+ stars. A great example of how they care about the customer was from yesterday, where it was clear I was going to have make several trips out to my car with the food I had. Instead off just moving on to another order, one of the staff said she would help me out and bring my food to my truck with me. That's true customer service. I greatly appreciate it. 5+ stars.“

“I enjoyed my meal from here. I ordered the beef and chicken combo with mixed vegetables and steamed rice. The protein was great though it was a little too oily. The veggies were good too though they did add oil to them too. Overall, the food was good for the price and the portions.“

“the sushi lunch special is perfect and the all youncan eat sushi also general.house is in the top 3 in maryland and definitely top 2 in anne arundel County“

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

“If you ever find yourself at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), do yourself a favor and stop by Gachi Sushi across from Gate A9. I ordered the Triple Delight Roll, and it was incredible. It was beautifully presented, fresh, and packed with flavor. The avocado and spicy drizzle were perfectly balanced, and the textures were spot on. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, even in the middle of the busy terminal. Special shoutout to Budi, the general manager who’s been there for 14 years! His pride in the food and service truly shows. I’ll definitely be back. Whether you’re craving sushi before a flight or just looking for a great airport dining experience, Gachi Sushi is a must-try. Highly recommended! 🍣✈️“

“Food is subpar and the only place I have ever encountered that makes you pay for any yum yum sauce. Most places give you a small cup with your meal then charge you for any extra…“

“This is my husband and I’s second time trying out this place and it is delicious! I ordered the chicken bento box and that teriyaki sauce with the rice and crispy chicken is just the perfect combo along with everything else that comes in the box. My husband loves the volcano roll as well!“

“Excellent hospitality and food!!“

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

I respect this guy. Down to earth. Best takeout food I’ve had , you can tell the guys really care about cooking. Also, the kitchen and the floors are cleaned“

“I am beyond happy, I got beef and chicken bento with fried rice.
My lords, they gave me the option of onion and extra sauce... heck yeah!
They gave me yum yum sauces!

I cant believe we have such great bento boxes in the area!
They even have a rewards app!
I will be their new regular, their prices are awesome and affordable.

And their dinning area is spacious and clean.
Thank you so much for the meal!“

“The Yummy Roll❤️ Everything about this place is EXCELLENT“

“If you’re looking for an amazing Asian Burmese spot, this place is a must-try! The lunch specials are super affordable and taste incredible—definitely one of the best deals around.

On top of that, the service is outstanding. Mr. Thomas was extremely kind and helpful, and he even let me sample a curry shrimp dish they’re working on adding to the menu. Let me tell you—it was absolutely amazing and packed with flavor!

The food is so good that I literally find myself calling coworkers before work to see if anyone wants me to pick something up for them. That says it all.

Highly recommend checking this place out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Wonderful experience and delicious food!“

“Great restaurant but they changed it up too much recently. The new name doesn't even come up on google when you search it but the name tsunami does. Also changed up some of their food menus like the fried tofu, 1/4 the original size and similar price.“

“Plenty of parking in a well lite Towne center. Restaurant is capable of accommodating large groups & separate checks are available. The menu is suitable to appease carnivores, pescatarians & vegetarians. The food portion & flavor was below average based on the cost. Beware that a 18% gratuity charge will be applied in the bar and grill area. Nicely decorated establishment with clean restrooms. Services offered were sub-par.“

“Dining in is a great experience with friendly staff and a relaxing mostly quiet atmosphere. The chicken, steak, sushi, noodles vegetables everything is great. If you get just take out that's great too. I always get the orange chicken (which i cant find a place that has better Orange chicken) with fried rice vegetables, Wong tong soup and chow mein. Never had anything I didn't like and my wife loves them too. The hibachi style chicken and steak are great and the shrimp is cooked perfectly with the tails trimmed off. Sushi is prepared carefully and just everything ive had off the menu has been delicious and the servings for the price are great.“
