    Rubbery with the ammonia smell...gross
    Sanny C.

    It was a big mistake ordering from here. I should have ordered from my usual sushi place. Just didn't feel like driving so far. Laziness is BAD lol Fish here ain't fresh. The salmon sashimi was ok but the yellowtail was extremely disgusting. It had a rubbery taste and smelled pretty bad. Just staring at the photo I took disgust me. I actually never had a bad experience with sushi. Maybe customer service at a sushi place but not the fish itself. I am just hoping that me and my nephew won't get food poison from it. Never again.

    When it comes to sushi, it's all about that fish to rice ratio. This place gives you more fish than rice, look at the pictures! Stellar. I also like that the menu here is straight forward. I'm not here to order another "xoxo roll" or "ninja roll" but Spicy Tuna Salmon Roll [$12.5] -- Yes, excellent spicy tuna flavored perfectly with fresh salmon on top. Especially enjoyed the salmon. Shrimp Tempura Roll + added tuna sashimi [total $18] -- I went on extra here adding tuna, but it was a good shrimp tempura and tuna sashimi. It was really nice for the chef to make this request work and presented it well. Please consider adding any tempura + fish on top roll to the menu! The place is very small, so it makes a good togo place. The sushi chef makes your orders right in front -- I saw him making my rolls directly -- so it gave me a very transparent, clean, and fresh impression. 5 stars + Fish is fresh, rolls taste good + More fish than rice! + Easy phone order and pick up + Nice street in south pasadena + Good value, would order again

    Cucumber roll and avocado roll.
    Andrew N.

    Small cozy place with a kind and knowledgeable owner. There's not much in the vegetarian section, although everything turned out quite tasty. I'd skip the cucumber next time and load up on more avocado or asparagus. Both were absolutely delicious! Prices were reasonable, the service was quick, and the location is conveniently next to the L Line!

My husband ordered the tonkatshu ramen with chashu and added spicy tuna roll, while I ordered the Hungry Roll with a side of seaweed salad, Three items out of four came out fairly quickly, within 15 minutes, my Hungry roll took nearly 30 minutes but I think it's because it has baked salmon as an ingredient. It was SO scrumptious! Worth the wait! The tonkotsu broth and noodles of the ramen were flavorful and the chashu was cooked perfectly, not too fatty. We'll be back! Highly recommend!

This Pasadena location has significantly less foot traffic than the Montebello location which you can expect to wait at least 30 minutes to be seated during peak times. I was instantly seated at this location and enjoyed the ambience and warm lighting. Whenever I order at the Montebello location I order the house salad. To my surprise, the Pasadena house salad is extremely different from the dressing, to toppings, and size. I would come back to enjoy some of the classic rolls which I love at ojis at the Asian fries. However, I will stick to ordering my house salad at the Montebello location. The Pinot Grigio was lovely as well and paired nicely with what we ordered.

Luckily they have a waitlist system where you can track your spot in line, so we just walked around Pasadena and did some shopping while we waited. Once seated, we had a table and were taken care of by Diane, who I believe was the manager. She was amazing and made sure we were well taken care of despite how busy the restaurant was. To be honest, all of the staff were great. The servers and hostesses were friendly, professional, and kept things running smoothly. As for the food, Sugarfish continues to be one of my favorite sushi spots for the price. The rice is always cooked perfectly and the fish is consistently fresh and melts in your mouth. This time I tried the yellowtail sashimi with lemon and it was absolutely delicious. My girlfriend and I usually order the Nozawa Trust Me and the "Don't Think. Just Eat." Since it's just the two of us, we split both meals so we get to try a bigger variety of fish. Some of my favorites are still the scallops and the anago. Those two never disappoint. Overall, another great meal. The long wait is probably the biggest downside, but once you're sitting down and eating, it's easy to remember why this place is always so busy.

    Stumbled in on a Wednesday in the early evening, and had plenty of open seating to choose from…read more Immediately, I was cheerfully greeted and seated by one the servers, and then given two menus--a traditional folding menu with a padded backing I can really only describe as "satisfyingly textured," and a beautiful 3x8 wooden slab engraved with a QR code for the picture menu. I had planned to be phone-free for the hour, but curiosity bested me and I whipped out my phone for a scan. The bulgogi with rice and miso called to me, strangely, considering the heat outside. The atmosphere at this slow hour was so nice I almost wished it was raining. A few Clairo and The Marías songs later (at the perfect volume--audible, but still low enough to have a quiet chat) my miso soup arrived. Now, it's been a good few years since I've had miso soup, and I've never really been crazy about it, but this... this was some damn good soup. Liquid umami. Then the bulgogi and rice came. This is the best bulgogi I've ever had. So tender. Quite literally melted in my mouth. Punches of savory juice, tender fatty bits, golden brown perfectly caramelized onions, and a sweetness to bring it all together. Every bite was perfect. It washed over me and my shoulders and spine practically uncoiled themselves. I want to try more from the menu but... I'm... I'm going to need this again. Like tomorrow. I should say, especially for the price, this is a lot o' grub. A perfect filling portion, especially with the rice and soup. I had a smoothie a couple hours earlier so I really should've asked for a to-go box 80% of the way through... but I was just having too much fun stuffing my face to stop. To recap--lovely service, great music, and food to live for. And a restroom. It's not public, but they do have a restroom. Thank god for that restroom. I was hungry, yes, but more than anything I really needed that restroom.

My partner and I shared the rainbow roll, mango cha cha roll, lemon salmon roll, salmon bento box, and cheese bulgogi. I really enjoyed the creative specialty sushi rolls, with my favorite roll being the mango cha cha roll. It tasted savory from the crispy shrimp tempura, while the fresh mango on top added a nice, refreshing pop of sweetness. As for the lemon salmon roll, it tasted fresh and more citrus-forward. Surprisingly, the salmon bento box was very filling and balanced. This included 2 pieces of grilled teriyaki salmon, 4 pieces of California roll, mixed tempura, miso soup, and a small salad with dressing. For anyone who does not eat raw fish, this would be the perfect dish. For the cheese bulgogi, there was a sweet-savory soy garlic flavor. I liked that the meat was thinly sliced, which paired perfectly with the gooey melted cheese. However, it was a bit saltier than I'd like it to be. Some rice and miso soup was served alongside this to balance out the richness from the cheese. Service could have been better. It seems that the staff were not very attentive at times, even though the place was not busy. Nonetheless, all of the food was pretty good and there was a chill atmosphere. This is a solid sushi bar to visit for either lunch or dinner.

The noodles at the Torrance location is better I promise! The miso soup was okay, didn't really enjoy it that much. It's not your typical miso soup. It has mushrooms in it. The mushroom flavor was too strong for me. Service was meh since we sat down first, but they took the order from our neighbors before us. Their food came out first too. Most likely won't come back to this location again. Not sure if they just had an off day when I went, but I had a disappointing experience.

The first time was for their 13th anniversary tuna bowl special and it was honestly one of the best tuna bowls I've had in a while. The restaurant has both an indoor dining area and outdoor patio, so it felt relatively spacious. The ambiance leans more on the upscale side. I would recommend parking at the Delacey parking structure for reliable and affordable parking (it's around an 8 minute walk). There was about a 10-20 minute wait after we arrived and the staff was very attentive throughout the entire experience. 1. Tuna Bowl: Their once a year anniversary special ($13 for their 13th anniversary), and this might've been my favorite dish I've had here. The cuts of tuna were incredibly fresh. The toro was thick-cut with a melt in your mouth texture. The sushi rice was also cooked and seasoned perfectly, which added a really nice touch to the dish. I would order this any time if it were on the regular menu! 2. Sushi lunch set with negitoro hand roll and miso soup: A solid lunch set with a variety of sushi that was all very fresh. Loved the negitoro hand roll as well! 3. Salmon & Ikura Don: Got this as part of their $18 lunch special for June 2026, which came with miso soup on the side. The salmon and ikura were very fresh and paired perfectly with the sushi rice. Would definitely come back again to try their other dishes!

HAKATA SET (Your choice of: Tonkotsu or Miso Ramen, comes with Mini Spicy Tuna Don, Chicken Karaage 2 pcs, Tsukemono) This was one of the set items for the lunch special. Chose the miso ramen. The miso ramen had a very strong white miso flavor. Didn't hate it, as I do love miso, but it was a little too much miso for my liking. Typical curly ramen and it was cooked well. Loved the jammy egg too. It was a soy marinated egg. There were also three pieces of chashu too! It was good, but slightly overcooked. The portion of the ramen was medium sized and was surprised they didn't bring a smaller size since it was a set meal. But happy they were generous! Spicy tuna don was a small bowl, but they gave a good portion of spicy tuna, which was delicious. Chicken karaage were two pieces of chicken and it was just okay. No tsukemono was served with the meal. Overall the meal was satisfying. I think the price was fair for what was given. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly and attentive customer service. No complaints! AMBIANCE / TABLES + SEATS Very calm and relaxing ambiance. It was quiet and no music was playing, which I liked. The restaurant was super clean and I liked how the tables were set. Large tables in the back and small tables were closer to the front. Bar seats on the side. It was a medium-sized restaurant, but the layout made it feel larger. Clean bathroom too. PARKING The closest and most logical parking spot was the one right across from the restaurant. School House Garage on 33 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91105. Rates: $1.00 first 2 hrs, $2.00 for each additional hour. $12 for the full day. I liked the set menu, it was good for the price and I would like to return to try their other lunch menu items, whether it would be a set menu or a la carte.

We ordered multiple nigiris, rolls, and appetizers for our table. The servers and staff seemed to not communicate with each other, leading to slow and sloppy service. The nigiris came out much later than the rolls and the bowls, to the point where half of our party was done eating before the first nigiri plate came out. In fact, the service was so slow that the servers started to clear our plates while we were waiting for them to bring out our food The servers were awkwardly clashing plates at our table and being difficult about refilling the water and tea. After dropping $800+ as a table, we were waiting on one last nigiri (Yellowtail Belly) to come out. We asked our waiter to check on it for us, and he came back to us saying it should have been on the plate that had the other Yellowtail Nigiri on it. The reason why we brought this up in the first place is because the two didn't come out together. He then brings another waitress who tells us it should have come out already, and then another who tells us completely different information (i.e. it came out with different fish). Overall an unpleasant experience. Would not be back again nor would I recommend this place to anyone, especially since they made such a big deal out of $10 nigiri on a $800 bill.

Perfectly crispy and full of flavor. I would drive 45 minutes back to Pasadena for our meal at Kyushu again. Thanks for an amazing dinner, Kyushu Sushi!

    By far, the best Japanese restaurant I have ever been to. Their portions are generous and is…read morereasonably priced! I had the small sashimi plate which had a wide assortment of fresh fish, including scallop topped with uni and 24 karat gold flakes. It was amazing! The pieces of sashimi are thick. My appetizer was the steamed egg topped with uni. Very decadent! We also had agedashi tofu, and some hot sake. The meals come with miso soup and salad. I will definitely be back! Service is fantastic, ambiance authentic feel of a sushi restaurant in Japan.
