    We always have a good experience here, the sushi is excellent and the servers are very nice. This is a regular sushi stop for us because we are never disappointed.

    Richie Roll, Crunchy Roll, Rainbow Roll, Tempura Roll & Popcorn Shrimp are sure to please. Great tempura entrees too!

    Just finished their tempura & spicy tuna roll lunch special. Terrific! Very good value for $8.50. Includes soup, salad and rice too!

    Honestly the fish is fine, best ever? No. But for Pasadena it is pretty decent. Sake selection by the glass is excellent. Service is um... Not the best. It seems like they don't give a shit.

    Best quality sushi in Pasadena. Order the Kompachi or Baby Yellow Tail. If heaven can reside in your mouth in the form of sashimi, those two would come very close!
