To drink we ordered Abuela's Pink Drink, it was basically strawberry-orchata, which was delicious as well. For dessert we ordered the Aroz con Leche, the amount of sweetness in it was perfect, not exaggeratedly sweet and a perfect amount of cinnamon. I can't wait to return and try other items on their menu, I really want to try the Birria-Ramen, the tamales, tortas and burritos.

Chef Maezaki and his team, Chef Mo and Mandy, delivered an absolutely unforgettable experience for my wife's 40th birthday. They brought high end sushi to our house in a small van and made a killer meal! From the moment they arrived (a full 2.5 hours early to prepare for a flawless 6 course, top shelf sushi dinner), their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. They worked seamlessly out of our kitchen with a minimal footprint, yet produced a dining experience that rivaled any high end restaurant. Every course was beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Honestly, the food exceeded our already high expectations. What truly set the evening apart was the care and effort they put into making the night special. They went above and beyond to create a warm, memorable atmosphere for my wife and her closest friends, and it's something we'll be talking about for years to come. I couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend Chef Maezaki and his team for any private dining occasion. It's not just a meal, it's a lasting memory. Thank you Chef and team! read more

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing CM Ghost Kitchen by Chef Maezaki's takeout sushi in Pasadena, and it was truly exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the CM Ghost Kitchen I knew I was in for a treat. The sushi creations were nothing short of artistry, with each piece crafted to perfection using the freshest ingredients. Chef Maezaki's signature rolls were a highlight, bursting with unique flavors and innovative combinations. The omakase platter provided a delightful journey through various textures and tastes, showcasing the chef's expertise. The sashimi was Simply divine, with the freshest fish slices that melted in my mouth. For gluten-free individuals seeking a delicious and worry-free meal, I highly recommend trying the gluten-free teriyaki chicken bowl. The attention to detail and passion for sushi was evident in every bite. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. If you're a sushi lover in Pasadena, don't miss the opportunity to try Chef Maezaki's incredible creations. You won't be disappointed! read more

I found this place off Instagram! Just tried this new to-go take out Sushi spot in Pasadena. It was so cool inside! They have a red wall made out of giant legos and this adorable ghost emoji! Self order modern cashless system, so easy to use with google or applepay. Friendly staff, the Chef is actually from Tokyo! I ordered their light sushi set and also the spicy tuna bowl. Both were so amazing! The portion sizes for the price was such a great value, especially in this crazy economy. The fish was very fresh, and they had a bigger variety of sashimi than I expected. Very delicious, I'll definitely be ordering again! I loved the cool packaging it came in also, especially the little tray for the soy sauce. Seems like it would be a great gift idea to bring someone lunch. Oh and I almost forgot to mention, there is a sushi rice recipe on the inside of the box! Super fun touch, loved this place. read more

We decided to give it a try, boba in hand. Unfortunately, they don't allow outside food or drinks, but they were kind enough to keep it in the fridge for us. Walking in and seeing an all-Japanese staff, I had a feeling we were in for something special. The menu prices were a little higher than your average neighborhood sushi restaurant, but after the first few bites, it all made sense. The service was prompt, friendly, and efficient. Our food arrived quickly, and the quality of the fish was outstanding--fresh, buttery, and literally melted in my mouth. This is top-tier sushi. The meal was so impressive that I had to meet the chef and owner. They were incredibly kind, and I learned they've been serving the community for over 25 years. It's easy to see why they've stood the test of time. We found an unexpected gem, and this will definitely become part of our Huntington Library tradition.

This was one of the most unique things I've tried at a Japanese restaurant. For $17, the portions are super generous - lots of fresh salmon and tuna, and not overfilled with lettuce fillers. I normally won't eat kale, but I'll eat this! The kale noodles were very similar to soba noodles, and the kale bits were crispy almost like nori. I enjoyed the sauce they used - a little sweet and nutty. I'd repurchase this without a doubt! I got the salmon lotus roll on my first visit because I love lotus chips, and so this one really intrigued me. The salmon on top was delicious and very tender. It might be one of the best salmon rolls I've had. The unagi in the don was also very tender that there was no need to chew. I haven't had much unagi in the past, but this is one of the better ones I've had. I've mainly had firmer ones, but I liked that this was very soft. Lastly, I tried the black tonkatsu ramen, and what I loved the most about this was generous amounts of the crunchy thin mushroom. This is one of my favorite ingredients in ramen other than the chashu and noodles. The broth isn't very thick or rich, and I think the amount of garlic in it was just right to be enjoyable. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente. Overall, I've found this place to be a very enjoyable experience, and I'm excited to try more of their menu!

It's only purple or brown rice, which is a healthier option, but I understand it's not for everyone. I got the regular size poké bowl with purple rice, and it's cooked perfectly that it has a fluffy texture very similar to white rice's. What I really liked about this place is that they mix your sauces with the protein in a separate mixing bowl before putting it into your poké bowl. Most poké places I've been too won't do this as an extra step - they'll just drizzle a bunch of sauce that sometimes the dry ingredients gets drenched and soggy. As for the fish itself, the portions are very fair, and the quality is good. They gave a pretty generous amount of avocado as well, which was very fresh, and you do not have to pay extra for it.

I love that you walk into the restaurant through the patio area along Hill Avenue. I walked by a number of tables before I got to the ordering counter. I was greeted by a friendly 'hello and how can I help you?' I explained that I needed some help with the menu as I had read what they offered online but had some questions. After listening to some suggestions, I came up with an order. I decided on a box of three hand rolls with sides. I also knew that I wanted to try the sushi balls that were on the menu. I knew that I wanted the yellowtail sashimi and the lobster ball. He double checked my order and told me that it would be a few minutes. As soon as I ordered the lobster ball he let the chef know so he could start on my order, as follows: Bacon Avocado ball Baked Lobster shrimp hand roll Yellowtail sashimi Salmon yuzu hand roll I sat down at one of the tables as others lined up to put in their orders. I could tell from the orders that there were some people that were regular customers as well as some new clients standing in line. It was nice to know that I was not the only one with questions about the items on the menu. There were staff members taking out some items and making sure tables were cleared and sanitized properly. It was a busy time of day, people picking up as well as people ordering. A number of the tables were filled with customers. The patio also had a number of tables with umbrellas. After about 10 minutes my order was ready and I was on my way. Once home I unpacked the items that had been carefully packed by the staff member. Everything looked really good. Some of the items still had the fresh aroma of the kitchen. I was happy to see that all the condiments including wasabi were packed with my order. There was even some salted edamame in a small container. My favorites were the bacon avocado ball and the Yellowtail Sashimi. The Lobster Ball was also a hit with me. It was all very good.

We ordered, the food was good but the only reason I am leaving this review is what happened in the dining area. A young lady who works at the front register area comes out and appears to check the trash by pulling it out, proceeds to throw up in it (yes the trash in the dining area where family's are dining at the same time) and then right after I would assume she would go to the restroom to take a moment to refresh herself and gain her composure but no, she then goes to the the front of the restaurant where there is another trashcan by the front door, I'm thinking to myself ok, she's checking the trash can this time...but no!! She throws up in this one as well!!! All while a man who looks like a manager is talking to another employee who is working the register, they clearly see her throwing up in the dining area and just keep on with their conversation like nothing is happening. Even after alll of that, after she has now thrown up back to back in the dining area she still does not go to the restroom. She washes her hands in the employee kitchen area and sits down in the dining area right after. I was utterly grossed out from seeing all this while eating dinner, I hope the employee did not have a virus because she was handling the trays and so on that were passed to us before we ate.

The fish inside was incredibly fresh with a clean, rich flavor, and the balance of rice to filling was spot on. Too many sushi spots load up on rice, but this one lets the quality of the seafood be the star. Every piece tasted like it was prepared with care, and the freshness really shines through. This is the type of sushi spot that reminds you why simple, high-quality ingredients are all you need. If you're someone who appreciates fresh fish and well-crafted rolls, this place deserves a visit. I already know I'll be back because there are still so many items on the menu I want to try.

It doesn't say what many of their dishes are; the 3 hand rolls set has what kind of rolls? I can't tell what half the bento plate is (shredded unidentified meat and some kind of fish, and possibly spam, with a roll of some kind and some crispy tuna). Also, while I do love being able to make substitutions, paying extra money to replace an item with an item that costs the same seems like a rip-off. EX: Shrimp and salmon come with the combo plate, but if I replace the shrimp with salmon (because I'm allergic to shrimp) then I have to pay more. It would be the same cost if I did the reverse. It's a little money-grab. Katsu-Ya, I really like you and want to give you more of my money, but you aren't making it easy. I love your hand rolls and want to try the hand rolls set, but I'd have no idea what I was ordering. I don't like paying extra money arbitrarily because of an allergy.
