What can I say. Great sushi, great Shabu, great service equals a great Friday night. First off, they squeezed us in before the reservation crowd which was very cool, but then never really rushed us either. Our server was awesome and she had a great sense of humor as well.

Really nice restaurant with great food and service. Servers were super friendly and checked on us several times throughout the meal. Whole family enjoyed their dishes. I had the Shokado Bento. Steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Sashimi was fresh and tasty.

We couldn’t get ahold of a reservation so we decided to walk in. We had a party of 7 and they told us it would have been a 1h-1h30 wait and we were fine with that. Not too long after, they asked us if they could split our party up and we said that was fine. They told us it would be another 20 minutes but it ended up being 50 minutes before we got seated. They made up an excuse and said that it would be rude to combine our tables once we were seated so they were going to just put us together. The table of 4 that we were waiting for would not leave even after the bill has been given to them. The table was done eating and was just sitting there talking. I wish the hostess or any of the workers could have at least notified them that people were waiting for that table. The table for 3 was already available and we were waiting outside in the cold with my grandmother. We asked if my grandmother could at least sit down first and they said no. The food was not worth the wait in my opinion. Was the seafood fresh? Yes. Was it exceptional tasting? No. They offered omakase but it wasn’t even traditional. The restaurant was too noisy to provide a traditional omakase vibe and they just served all the fish in one go.

The lady at the front told me that we have to make a reservation 1 week before in order to sit inside. So we just decided to sit outside. Ordered a chirashi w/ udon and shokaido bento and loved it 🙂 very authentic and similar to Ootoya in nyc.

As a sushi lover, I was disappointed with the quality of the fish. When sushi tastes fishy, it’s not high quality fish and/or it’s not fresh. I got their $110 Premium Omakase Sashimi box set and almost barfed with 5 of their pieces… I had to swallow them down with water… service was great but unfortunately it does not make up for the bad fish!

I came to this restaurant for dinner with my family. We called a day before but they said they didn’t take reservations.

The Yellowtail carpaccio in yuzu and jalapeño melted in my mouth. Flavors are balanced and so very pleasant. The salmon sushi in chili sauce was a nice change up from the usual plain salmon sushi. One of the best uni I’ve had. Every piece of sushi we had was 5/5 stars. I tried to make an reservation for 4 weeks before and they don’t take them until 2 weeks before. Bathroom smelled super pleasant. Service was friendly and attentive.

IMO their Premium sushi omakase $75 (12 pc + miso soup) is a great deal for those who like sushi beyond the usual tuna salmon situation. This omakase sushi always includes seasonal & mostly wild caught seafood of the day. For those with bigger appetite, their appetizer or dinner menu got some great small dishes. Or add on other sushi! This is one of the oldest spots in Old Town Pasadena. They also have Shabu (Japanese hot pot). They are popular, recommend making reservation in advance.

This is one of my most favorite Japanese restaurants ever. The food is high quality. The price is reasonable. The vibe is mellow enough for you to absorb the taste of the food. The strength of this restaurant is that they are so well-round. Every dish they make is good, may it be fried dish, sushi, grilled fish, curry, you name it. The only downside is that they close too often lol.
