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“

“This was my first time at Oishi Sushi and I have to say it was so delicious! I have been to a few sushi restaurants and Oishi sushi is by far the freshest and most delicious ive had in a long time! The service was amazing! The young man helping us was very helpful with the menu as well as presenting our food beautifully. If you are going on a date or just out with family or friends I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant!“

“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!“

“I was a regular at Teriyaki House for 4 years and I’ve never been let down. The service, atmosphere, and quality of food is all top tier! Miss Q is like family to me. If you have the chance to visit Annapolis, please take the time to dine at Teriyaki House. I especially love the poke bowl with seaweed salad and a Sapporo🙂‍↕“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Amazing friendly staff members. Food great nice cozy atmosphere 🍣🍰✨“

“The service, I respect it. Atmosphere is at peace to a point I can just sleep in here. I love the Zen Guzheng Melodies he is playing and all of the culture he brings strong into his business. 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“

“Asian Burmese Kitchen was fantastic. I grew up on burmese food and have only learned to prepare oh mo khao swe. Have been craving mohinga (mote hing karr at the restaurant) and atho (nje thoke at the restaurant). Its been 6 years since I last went home and ate these two dishes. I ordered Mote Hing Karr (my choice) and the chicken burmese noodle dish (the waiter’s choice). The chicken noodle dish arrived first and immediately the smell took me back to Trichy’s street stalls. The noodles were served with fresh limes, a sour:tangy cabbage slaw and delicately flavored thin chicken stock. The sharpness of the acidic sides cut through the very savory noodles and balanced the palate.

But the true star of the show for me was the Mote hing karr!! A perfect representation of what homemade bowl of hearty and delicious soup should be! I especially loved that they served it with the crackers (made with peas) and bejo (egg)! For people who need heat! they also give you 3 complementary chilli accompaniments to alter the spiciness as desired.

The portions were huge!!! So we took some home and I am already dreaming about eating another soup stock soaked bite of the banana stem in the very authentic Mote Hing Karr!

Prices are very reasonable, the restaurant and kitchen were clean, bright and well-maintained. Plenty of parking in front and back of the restaurant. I stopped next door and picked up more crackers and tamarind concentrate for home.“

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

“I have to say I think I’m addicted, this is the second time in a week that I’ve gotten the shrimp, steak and chicken with vegetables, lo mein and fried rice! SO GOOD FOR $18 and I love the 2 bowls with spring rolls for $22!! I love that they pack the containers so full, the yum yum sauce and teriyaki sauce is delicious“

“Nagoya never disappoints.“

“I LOVE Quickway everytime we go our food is made fresh and the staff always is kind, we love getting chicken with vegetables and half rice half noodles an when its finally prepared they top it with a brown sauce kinda like teriyaki its sooo good and you have to get a extra yumyum sauce an a side of sushi dragon roll is delish ,delicious is the first word that comes to my mind, My son Arlan Clark Jr. enterduced me and my husband to the location on Nursery rd. My son passed away on October 15th 2022 and he loved going here,we even let him pick where he wanted to go for dinner on his birthday on March 5th 2021 he loved the food soo much he choose Quickway.. An when I go to eat there it reminds me of him,weve made memories there ,so it's a favorite place to go for us. Enjoy Bon apatite an God Bless . SINCERELY M.POE“

“Wonderful experience and delicious food!“

“Tsunami was a really good spot for dinner and drinks in Annapolis. We tried several small plates, including edamame, kimchi tacos, pork belly, and scallops. We enjoyed everything, but the kimchi tacos were the standout and definitely something I’d order again.

Service was good, and the atmosphere made it a comfortable place to eat, relax, and hang out for a few drinks. Overall, a solid Annapolis spot and one I’d go back to.“

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

“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.“
