    This restaurant is so good ! The fish is so fresh. We got the uni which came in the shell and it was buttery and soft. The sweet shrimp was still moving! They fry the head which was crunchy. The Kobe tongue was so tender and flavorful. The bluefin trio was also good. They have lunch special which I want to try next time. They use seasonal high quality fish. The ambience is nice. This is worth visiting !

    A solid spot! The inside has good amount of seating which a large menu. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Ordered the sushi and sashimi set which was good. The fish didn't have a fishy taste and was a decent sized cut. I was super full by the end of it. I do wish they could name the type of fish that was given since I was guessing for some of them.

    Surviving the SoCal heat wave ? Treat yourself to some high-quality Japanese food to cool down!!! We treated ourselves to an amazing spread at Opus Sushi -highly recommend the live raw shrimp (yes, the head was still moving ), super fresh! Oyster with uni and ikura -- all those luxurious ingredients together Sushi and sashimi set loved the presentation and top-tier quality Also loved their specialty rolls, including the whatever roll and Kobe beef roll -something you don't see everywhere!

    My friend and I came here around 2pm for lunch and there was only one other party. By the time we left, the crowd started to come in. It's a very spacious space with many booths, table, and bar seating. We both ordered the chirashi and it was filling and lots of large pieces of sushi, with the variations of spicy tuna and spicy something else! It was nice to have that variety. We were both very full.

    I was invited to try Opus Sushi in Arcadia, and it absolutely delivered. They specialize in sea urchin (uni), and you can truly taste the quality and freshness in every bite. We tried the yellowtail jalapeño, salmon carpaccio, live sweet shrimp, Kobe beef tongue, cherry stone clams, multiple rolls, including the Kobe Beef Roll and the fun "Whatever Roll," plus yakitori and shrimp miso soup to finish. The cocktails were also impressive; the yuzu margarita and passion fruit highball were perfect for a date night vibe. If you're looking for a Valentine's Day sushi spot in Arcadia or just one of the best sashimi experiences in the San Gabriel Valley, Opus Sushi is worth the visit.

    I loved the quality of the sashimi and raw seafood from Opus Sushi. The best thing for me was the lobster sashimi. I had never had it prepped the way it was, in its shell. The meat was so sweet, soft, umami, and melted in your mouth. It was perfect with a touch of lemon. Another thing I really loved were their cherry stone clams. We got a half dozen of those and a half of their Kumamoto oysters and it was a perfect dozen. I liked the garnishes they prepped them with and they tasted so clean. The Kobe beef roll was the best roll we ordered! The sear of the beef on top was delicious and I couldn't stop going for more. They also have yakitori which I don't think should be slept on. The lamb chop was so tender and came on the bone which I went crazy on (lol). We also got sweet shrimp, gizzard, wings, and Kobe beef yakitori skewers and they were all so fun to share. The blue crab and uni bowl ($26) was worth it and so was their deluxe mix sashimi ($49) as well as the uni, scallop, and amaebi bowl ($68). They came with rice and seaweed sheets so you can make your own rolls and I loved that you have that option!! Overall, amazing sushi spot for fresh sashimi and seafood.

    Best Sushi Spot in the SGV!! Opus Sushi is a well-regarded Japanese restaurant in Arcadia, CA!! A true gem in the San Gabriel Valley!! They deliver exceptional quality and beautifully presented sushi and sashimi. If you're a uni lover, this place is a must! They specialize in sea urchin and offer a wide variety of dishes like a Toro & Uni Bowl, Uni Pasta, yakitori and Kobe beef tongue. The Cherry Stone oysters has radish, green onion and ponzu sauce. The uni + ikura oysters are creamy, briny with that perfect pop! The Halibut Carpaccio is delicate and clean. The Toro Uni Bowl is a make-your-own hand rolls, which is creamy and rich. The live Pacific lobster sashimi is incredibly fresh and sweet. The deluxe mix sashimi came with pristine cuts and the Chilean sea bass is perfectly charred and tender. The Mexican Roll and Sunset Roll are delicious. From the first bite to the last... absolutely unforgettable.

    Admittedly checked this place out because it's on InKind. Went to try various sushi dishes and their lunch specials, including the yellowtail and chirashi bowl. Considering the inkind component, decent value. If it's not for inkind, not sure what I would think about this place. I enjoyed the shrimp tempura handroll... everything else was forgettable. I wouldn't rush to go back, but it's a good option to consider

    Sashimi Platter- this was absolutely incredible with such a huge variety of fish! Every piece was cut thick and perfectly, and you could immediately taste how fresh everything was. The selection included multiple types of tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and several other fish I hadn't tried before. Each piece had this buttery texture that just melted in your mouth. The presentation was beautiful too, and you could see the quality and care that went into preparing each piece. The fish had that perfect sashimi texture - firm but tender, with no fishy taste whatsoever. Udon- the noodles were perfectly chewy with that ideal texture. The broth was rich and flavorful, and you could taste how much time went into making it from scratch. Such a comforting dish that paired really well with all the sashimi. Grilled Miso Seabass with Sashimi- this was so good! The seabass was perfectly grilled with that amazing miso glaze that was sweet and savory. The fish was flaky and tender, and the miso added this incredible depth of flavor. Having it paired with fresh sashimi was such a nice contrast between cooked and raw preparations. Clam Sashimi- this was my first time trying clam sashimi and it was amazing! The clam was so sweet and had this perfect briny flavor from the ocean. The fish roe on top added this incredible pop of saltiness and texture that complemented the clam perfectly. Such a unique and delicious combination. Live Sweet Shrimp- these were incredibly fresh and sweet! You could taste how recently they were caught. The texture was perfect - firm but tender, and the natural sweetness of the shrimp really came through. Toro Uni Bowl- this was so rich and flavorful! It was really fun to DIY it into little hand rolls with the nori they provided. The toro was buttery and melted in your mouth, while the uni added this creamy, oceanic flavor. Making your own hand rolls made it interactive and even more enjoyable. Wild Aji- this was delicious! The aji had this clean, fresh flavor that was different from the other fish. You could really taste the quality and freshness. Mexican Roll- this fusion roll was surprisingly delicious! The flavors worked so well together and showed their creativity with traditional sushi ingredients. The sushi rolls here are very flavorful and well-balanced. What I love about this place is how much they focus on fresh ingredients. The owner mentioned that she goes to Santa Monica every morning to stock up on the freshest fish possible, which you can definitely taste in every bite. They even have weekend specials based on what's freshest that day, which shows their commitment to quality. This Japanese restaurant really stands out for their dedication to freshness and quality. Every piece of fish was outstanding, and you can tell they take pride in sourcing the best ingredients possible! Instagram: @hungrytamale

    Best Sushi Spot in SGV? It's not fancy spot, it's simple with main focus is to deliver to customer, a bite of freshness and creativity, imo Opus Sushi is one of the best spots that will not only keep your tastebuds happy but your bank account as well. This spots has all of your favorite cuts of fish and shellfish from ltuna, yellowtail, salmon, uni, sweet shrimp and the list goes on. Their pricing for lunch and dinner are spectacular. For example you can get an impressive mixed 6 piece sashimi and teriyaki chicken set for $19 for lunch or $25 for dinner. One last thing, their uni pasta is absolutely heaven on earth because they use linguini and not udon or ramen noodles! I recommend 10/10! They also got full on bar serving up drinks like Mojito, Bloody Mary and fun Martinis! Lots of free parking. Great service and simply a yummy spot to eat at .

    Opus Sushi is a standout find! This unassuming spot in a Arcadia plaza delivers an incredible meal. The Sashimi Set was stunningly fresh, and the Deluxe Chirashi Bowl was a beautiful collection of the day's best catches. The standout was the unforgettable Toro & Uni Bowl--so flavorful we wanted another. The yakitori (get the chicken knee and gizzard!) is perfectly grilled. Service is attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy. It's clear the chef prioritizes quality, sourcing fish daily. For its caliber, the price point is very fair. This has instantly become a favorite. Definitely making a return trip soon

    YellowTail & Uni Sushi! I could do w/o the rice as it sucked and brought the sushi down.

    Been coming here for years and more recently as so many sushi places in Arcadia now. Opus is our go to at least for lunch - can't beat their lunch set. We dine here more frequently since Oto-Oto in Monrovia closed down as I often order Chirashi as my go to so I typically compare those: Quality (freshness and cut) Value (price to portion) Wait time & speed Ambiance/comfort Service & attentiveness For all of the above 5 stars!

    Tried out Opus Sushi and overall the food quality was good and fresh. A few pieces leaned a little salty, but I really liked that they serve some less common fish you don't usually find at most sushi spots--definitely a tasty highlight. We sat at the sushi bar expecting to order directly from the chef, but noticed others were placing orders through the staff instead. Service felt just okay. When we asked our waitress a question, a waiter suddenly jumped in to answer, and later he even delivered food from behind us--passing plates over our shoulders instead of setting them down at the side, which was awkward. Dinner was for two, and the vibe was interesting with shelves full of sake and whiskey bottles as décor. Solid sushi, but service could use some polishing.

My friend and I came to KazuNori for Saturday lunch right when they opened at 11:30. Only one other group was there at opening, but it gradually got busier over the course of lunch. As is standard for handroll places, seating is all counter seating so that you can watch the chefs make and place each piece in front of you. I don't recommend coming here with more than 2 others, as conversation can be difficult due to the seating arrangement. I went with the 6 hand roll set for $29, which offers toro, yellowtail, salmon, bay scallop, crab, and lobster. Everything was good, and my favorites were the scallop, crab, and lobster. You can ask for less rice in each roll if you aren't super hungry or have a smaller stomach. They make everything easy when it comes to paying the bill by charging an automatic 16% fee, so you don't need to fill in the tip. I think that's fair given that each handroll is personally made for you by the chef.

    Came here with my friends and my son this past Wednesday for lunch. We arrived about 10 to 15…read moreminutes after they opened at 11 a.m., and it was the perfect time to avoid the lunch rush. I've been wanting to try Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr. for a while since their original location is in Torrance. I'm really glad they opened a Pasadena location because we're lucky to have one here in the 626 now. Parking was easy since there are spots right in front of the restaurant, but they are metered and cost $2 per hour. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the staff. Since the weather was nice, we decided to sit out on the patio, which was cool and comfortable. To start, we ordered the fried tempura mozzarella sticks ($5.99), onion kakiage ($2.99), and edamame corn kakiage ($5.99). Everything was delicious, but the mozzarella sticks were the clear favorite. They were fried perfectly with an amazing cheese pull and plenty of cheesy flavor. We decided to share all of our entrees family style. For my son, we ordered the plain hot udon, which was simple and perfect for him. For the rest of us, we ordered the Premium Tempura Bowl ($32.97) and added ikura ($4.98), the cold soba with dipping sauce and tempura ($19.99), and Carlos's Jewel Box ($31.99), which came with chopped salmon, toro, yellowtail, and popcorn shrimp over rice. We also added extra toro for $8. On top of that, we ordered a side of five slices of chu-toro for $15.49, which honestly felt like a great deal. The Premium Tempura Bowl was definitely the star of the meal. Every piece of tempura was light, crispy, and fried perfectly without feeling greasy. The fried tempura egg was absolutely chef's kiss, especially once the yolk mixed into the rice. The tempura dipping sauce was also excellent and brought everything together. The Carlos's Jewel Box was another standout. The fish tasted fresh, and the rice with their house sauce paired perfectly with everything. The added toro made it even better. The cold soba was well prepared, but it just wasn't our cup of tea. That's more of a personal preference than anything because the quality was still there. The restaurant has a modern look while still feeling like a cozy mom-and-pop shop. I really liked the decor and the welcoming atmosphere. Since we were the only table sitting outside, I can't really comment on the noise level inside, but the patio was peaceful and relaxing. The service was great. The staff brought out a booster seat for my son and even helped secure it to the patio chair. They also brought us all the condiments, including ginger and pickled vegetables, without us having to ask, which I appreciated. Overall, I would definitely come back. The tempura was some of the best I've had in the 626, and the rice bowls were just as impressive. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend ordering one of the tempura bowls. You really can't go wrong. It's great to see a restaurant that started in Torrance expand to Pasadena because it's a welcome addition to the 626 dining scene.

There was also no crunch to it. I remember the Torrance location tempura had a very nice crunch, batter was light and airy, and it stuck to the food. The sauce is the same, as they put it in the rice instead of you dipping it into a sauce. I also got cold soba on the side since they can't substitute the rice for soba. Soba wasn't anything special. 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.
