“ If you miss Japan and go here for $28 lunch Sushi all you can eat. Food quality is really good, everything tasted like there was quality and care. I found Pasadena location to be better than one in Artesia. ”
“ All you can eat if maybe 100 dishes. I don't eat fish but I still left full and happy as they have pork pot stickers (gyoza), teriyaki chicken and teriyaki beef. Also had vegetable tempura and salad. They allow you as a group to order like 15 items, then when that group is done you get to order whatever you want again. Same things if you want. My friends love salmon and shrimp and all sorts of sushi rolls so yhey were loving life. The waiters are very attentive and they clear dishes quickly as you finish them so you can juat say I want more if whatever. It's amazing for like $45 per person. Look at the pictures I took! ”
“ What can I say? Everything is so good, the wait staff is quick and orderly. It's no wonder it can get full! TRY EVERYTHING! Note: dinner prices are charged all day Saturday. Parking is kind of a pain, especially with the new city parking rules changing in 2026. ”
“ This place is the best! Everyone is super friendly, food is great, service is great, always a smile. Yes it can get busy, but for a good reason. By far the best sushi in the Pasadena area! ”
“ Gita was our server we had the best! She was so sweet and even gave us ice cream. It’s a cute place and very nice. The music eats down everytime! 10/10!! ”
