Sat at the sushi bar and had a fantastic experience. Our sushi chef was great. He made 3 dishes I’ve never had. Each were better then the next and not on the menu. If you’re going to the movies come here first! Great sushi and come sit at the bar.

This is a place where the service is better than the food. The food is good enjoyed our meals. But the service here was amazing. Our server was very attentive knew the menu and made some great recommendations.

Our monthly family dinner outing happened at Sushi Roku in Pasadena. It was a Saturday night and this joint was PACKED! We had reservations for 7:00 PM and the wait wasn’t too long. The staff was all pretty helpful and friendly. While waiting they did bring out appetizers for customers who are waiting to be seated. I thought that was nice. We had drinks, appetizers, and sushi. The drinks were good. My brother, Les, enjoyed his Toki Tamashi drink. The spicy tuna roll, avocado eel, Japanese fried chicken, and Bacon wrapped shrimp were my favorites. We also had Soft shelled crab, Cut shrimp jalapeno roll, Senshi roll, and Cut spicy scallop roll. I had to order an Orion beer because one of my coworkers spent time in Japan and this is his favorite beer. I’m not a big drinker so I can’t comment on it. We finished the evening with the Banana bread pudding and Volcano cake. Delicious. All in all it was a great night out with the family. The restaurant has a good vibe, I thought it was very cozy. The food that we tried was okay. I was overcharge $18.00 for a Fusion drink that we didn’t order but that one got by me. It was almost 11:00 PM by the time we finished and wrapped it up.

$10 for WATER? Give me a break. Food was tasty, but portions are small and severely overpriced. Service was decent, however took at least 20 minutes after our meal was finished for someone to notice and give us our bill. There are better options in the area. Did I mention they charge $10 FOR WATER!?

A nice spot in Pasadena for sushi. We had to try the $75 per person feast (already a lot of food) plus some other dishes like the ribeye asparagus and fluke kumquat (awesome dishes). Atmosphere is great for dating.

I am grateful that Sushi Roku was open New Years Day. I loved the spicy scallop roll. We all had good food. The recommendation for sake was awesome! Ask the manager for his sake recommendations and you won’t be disappointed!

Worst service ever. The waiters were rude and the owner too. We didn’t last more than 10 minutes in this place bc of just how uncomfortable they made us feel. We should’ve expected it from how dead this place was. The host was so nice, only decent person in this restaurant.

One of the higher end sushi spots in Pasadena. A little hard to find as it’s not a streetside restaurant and pretty expensive but good. Loved the drinks as well.

This is your americanized (fast) japanese restaurant. The restaurant has a great vibe, and a lovely seating arrangement. The water feature in the middle is really neat, but it doesn’t detract from the lack of sushi on the menu. It is missing quite a few staples like tamago. Any time i see Japanese wagyu on a menu, I order it. Unfortunately, the wagyu sushi on the menu tasted like anything but… this restaurant would benefit from deciding if it wants to be an izakaya or a sushi house… they miss the mark on both at the moment. There are other options within a block or 2 that i would recommend instead.
