I went on a Thrusday @ 3pm and there was plenty seating, very chill. Great spot if you are eating alone or in small group. Waitress was very nice and food didn't take long to come out. I was very surprised at the size of our plates, it made the price very worth it! Ordered the Spicy bulgogi ramen but I wouldn't say that it's even spicy which is fine for me I'm not even a huge fan of spice. 10/10! My fiancee ordered the Bulgogi entree that comes with steamed rice & miso soup. They are not stingy with meat here and the meat quality is pretty good. 10/10 for him. The nigiri had pretty big pieces of salmon on top so the ratio of fish to rice was a little unbalanced, not enough rice. The salmon was good quality though, 8/10. I also got the baked salmon roll and it was suppose to be spicy but, again, not really spicy lol I loveeee me a warm baked roll though and it was delicious 10/10 Overall I recommend it for casual eats. I want to come back in the evening because their hours say open until 12:30am which could be a late night vibe! Must-try spot with amazing food!! read more

What makes this sushi restaurant unique is that it is Korean family-owned, so there are Korean dishes served along with Japanese dishes. 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. read more

Tried this spot with my partner on a weekend date and first impressions is that this place is quite clean. Upon entering, there's seating both on the left and the right side. There's counter seating, group tables, and MISC tables as well. There's a waitlist on Yelp to join so plan ahead if the restaurant is busy. Parking here in Pasadena can be a bit tough but not near Sushigah. Next to it is a huge indoor parking lot where it's only $1 per 2 hours, very much worth it. The menu here is very extensive, ranging from sushi rolls, sushi, ramen, udon, standard sushi apps, bento boxes, etc. Our orders were taken pretty quick, service I'd say was around a 7/10. We were checked on a couple times but seem like the staff weren't fully paying attention as I asked for some extra utensils and my partner asked for the other dishes that our order comes with but they were all forgotten, requiring a 2nd request before receiving our items. Other than that, service was pretty good. It was great that the staff was friendly and quick. -- WHAT WE ORDERED -- Cheese Bulgogi ($25) Rainbow Roll ($18) Mango Cha Cha Roll ($20) Lemon Salmon Roll ($19) Salmon Bento Box ($21) Out of all the rolls, the Mango Cha Cha is the standout. From the pictures posted, it seem to be the most unique roll and the most popular roll to try. Highly recommend trying this as it has a great flavoring balance between the ingredients and the mango on top. MUST TRY!!!! The cheese bulgogi is also pretty underrated. Although a bit on the expensive side, if you like both combined, this is the dish for you. Love the variation of the dish, and it was also cooked to perfection. The bento box is great as well, presented very nicely, and portion is huge I'd say. A great box to eat on the go or at the restaurant. Not too expensive as well. read more

I visited Sushigah once and decided I will not be returning. For a meal that cost over $100, the experience was subpar and lacked the professionalism I expected at this price point. The seating area is very small, which made it even more uncomfortable when the staff spent a significant amount of time attending to a homeless individual and ultimately seated them right next to me with all their bags. Between the poor service and the underwhelming food quality, the experience lacked any sense of a good dining experience. It was a very disappointing and not worth the premium price. read more

While we were walking around, we were craving some Japanese food and found an incredible spot! Sushigah staff were very nice and accommodating to us while we traveled with our cat. I ordered their bulgogi bento and WOW I was amazing. Huge quantity of food and you could sub rice for a California roll! The tempura was perfectly breaded with a great variety of different veggies and shrimp. The bulgogi was also well seasoned and marinated. My partner mentioned how great their tempura udon was as well! read more

Really enjoyed Sushigah. I got the salmon bento box and it satisfied all the bento cravings I had. Everything tasted really fresh, the atmosphere was nice and quiet, and it's a smaller spot, so I'm glad we were able to grab a table. Service was good! Straightforward, good quality sushi, and definitely a solid go-to spot when you're craving sushi. read more

Ordered via one of the delivery apps. Good selection of rolls, lots of baked and tempura rolls. The salmon skin roll was very good, the salmon skin was very crisp. The yellow tail, salmon and shrimp were good and fish was fresh. The Korean fried chicken appetizer was very good, nice light batter and stayed crispy even after the sauce. Cucumber salad was too sweet for my taste. Solid restaurant and will order from again. read more

Found this Sushi restaurant owned by Korean Father & Son. Love the mural. Located at the corner of Raymond Ave, the quieter side of the street. Street parking or parking garage nearby. Easier to park. Not crowded like Colorado side. Service was fast. Small nice dining area with plenty of window seating. Food was on the spot. We ordered Cheese Bulgogi, Bento Box, Sashimi Salad and Salmon Roll. All was fresh and yummy. Nothing to complain. read more

Stopped by Sushigah in Pasadena for a quick lunch and ordered a regular combo with some hot sake on the side. First off, I really appreciated that the sake actually came out properly hot, which isn't always the case at casual spots and made the meal feel extra comforting. For the price, the combo is a good deal and perfect when you want something filling without a long wait. The fish quality was decent overall. Some pieces tasted fresh and enjoyable, while a couple still had that slightly frozen texture, but nothing that completely took away from the experience. Service was fast and it's an easy in-and-out kind of place, which makes it great for a quick lunch. It's not a high end sushi destination, but it's not trying to be. For a casual, affordable meal in Pasadena it gets the job done. Overall a solid option for the price and convenience, and I'd come back if I'm in the area and need something quick and satisfying. read more

This is one of the best sushi experiences I've had in a while and at a price point that is affordable, just makes me love this place even more. I feel like this place is giving quality well above their price point and I think it's just amazing. I came here about an hour before they close on a Wednesday evening, and I was greeted with extremely pleasant restaurant staff they were extremely accommodating to a special request that I made and they exceeded expectations on all fronts. Every item we ordered was very good and I can't wait to come back again. This place is also a corner spot so it's relatively easy to find, at least I think so and this is the perfect spot to go to when it's a little later at night for those sushi cravings! read more

I really appreciate the great service here, very attentive. It's a go to for the BSCR roll for me. Generous amount of tender bay scallops atop a fresh California roll. Sitting outside on a sunny day is a real treat and I've always been lucky enough to get seated immediately without a wait. Parking in the school house structure is super convenient. read more

The hubby and I were craving sushi and decided to give this place a try. It's seating is limited, but we found a couple seats at the sushi bar. Though small, we didn't feel cramped, and the inside is quite attractive. There were two servers covering all of the tables, and both were very friendly and attentive. We both had udon, which was delicious, the broth was light but flavorful and not overly salty. We ordered several rolls, including an eel with avocado (yummy), Gangnam roll (also yummy), and a dragon roll (delicious). The fish was excellent and the ingredients were fresh. There was one chef preparing all of the sushi, and between the eat in customers and take out orders, he was busy! But we didn't have to wait long for our food, and even if we had, it would have been worth it. We got a couple of sushi bento boxes to go for our kiddos, and they were quickly devoured, so this place gets their seal of approval as well. Highly recommended this place. We will be back! read more

We checked out Sushigah in Pasadena and had a great time! First off, the tech-forward touches were super cool--each table gets a sleek little wooden stick with a QR code so you can browse photos of all the rolls. I loved being able to see what everything looked like before ordering. You can also pay the bill online, which made checkout smooth and convenient. The space itself is small and intimate with a cozy, modern vibe. I liked sitting by the window where you can look out onto the street corner. Bonus points for being right next to a good parking structure. The salmon sushi was tasty and fresh, with a nice thick cut of fish. Their rice was on point--great consistency, not too sticky or too loose. One of the standouts for me was the bulgogi with cheese--it tasted like a Korean Philly cheesesteak and paired surprisingly well with the rice. It's fusion done right. Everything was super clean inside, and the staff was friendly without being overbearing. The overall ambiance is casual cool, a nice spot to grab quality sushi without it feeling too formal. There's a nice variety on the menu without it being overwhelming. I'd definitely come back to try more rolls. It's a great spot for a low-key dinner or date night. If you're a fan of good food with a little flair, this one's worth checking out. read more

I've been here twice. It was my favorite place for sushi. Went when they just opened. Absolutely no one inside. No one. And you won't let me sit by the window and spend about 60 bucks at your place because it seats four? I literally would've been there for 30min tops. What a joke. Host was terrible. read more

Tried this place with some friends & was astonished by the quality of the Bulgogi Ramen. Service was great--staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming & decor was pleasantly unique! The quality of the noodles, bulgogi, broth and veggies all complimented one another perfectly.

Came here late on a Saturday night. It wasn't too busy so we were seated quickly. We ordered and our food came out quickly as well. I was very excited as our food came out (all at the same time too). The dishes looked really nice, the fish was fresh, the udon had a nice deep umami flavor. I've passed by this restaurant so many times, but this is the first time I was able to stop by. Really good sushi and service. Definitely coming back again! read more

Tasty Sushi! I was on my own due to some odd circumstances, so I decided to grab lunch at SushiGah. I looked at the menu and ordered two rolls - the 911 Roll which was spicy, and the Lemon Salmon Roll which was spicy and tasty. The rolls came out promptly along with the 355 ml (12 ounce) bottle of Coke I ordered for lunch. The rolls were served with a good amount of Wasabi and ginger. The server was quite polite and helpful. You can see the photo of the mural and the prep area, which offer classic Japanese Sushi ambiance. The rolls I ordered were quite tasty and filling. A bottle of Soy Sauce is on the table, and was also tasty. Good stuff! read more

Sushiya has been on my radar for quite sometime. In seeing the reviews and asking around, there have been so many positive experiences that I had to take time to visit. So, on a Sunday after church, I had an errand to run in the area, and I decided to visit. Ambiance: Tucked on the corner of Raymond Ave and Green St. it is easy to dismiss Sushiya entirely. But, the small space makes this place feel so much like home. The sushi bar was super clean and I had a clear view of the fish and chefs as they crafted roll and nigiri alike. The staff were warm and friendly which added to the vibe. Food: Being in a new sushi restaurant, I tend to order the same thing all the time. In this case was Salmon and Yellowtail Nigiri and a Shrimp Tempura Roll. But in this case, I wanted to splurge a bit and got a Miso Soup and side Sapporo as well. The miso soup is always nostalgic but nothing super different than what is normally served at other restaurants. But the star, the sushi, was indeed something to talk about. The cut of fish was indeed thicker than others and there is no question on the freshness of the fish as well. No smell and clean after taste, I took extra time to really relish it. The sushi rice tasted fresh and you can tell that there is great pride to the plating of the sushi and roll. The Shrimp Tempura roll, had that oh so satisfying crunch signaling not only was the tempura fresh from the frier, but the moisture of the rice didn't soak into the shrimp. Overall, with its closeness to a parking lot, easy accessibility, and freshness. I would visit again and soon! If nearby, give it a shot, I'm sure your going to enjoy it as I did read more

Sushi Set A: $27. Thick slices of quality sashimi. Beautifully presented. The hand roll was alright, it would've been better if the nori was crispy.

Very Happy Accident! I lived in Pasadena in the late 70's early 80's now live in Studio City. Happened to have some business one evening in Old Town at the beginning of this month and decided to walk a bit before heading home. I had not read the reviews but went on the feel I picked up walking by when I made my Thursday night dinner choice. It was amply occupied while not feeling like a crowded "scene." Too often when I visit a place in an area I consider "trendy popular" there is a rushed disinterest and general aloof from staff. Absolutely not the case here. My server (female) and either another server (younger male, I assume partner / son noted in what I've since read online) truly communicated in a way that made me feel fully welcomed, inquiring about my satisfaction with the meal, etc. I stayed quite a while on my own relaxing after I was finished and never felt rushed to leave. I wasn't surprised when I read online afterwards that they treat you like family. Too often that's a slogan, here it was TRUE! Oh, yes, the sushi and overall meal experience fit the yumm-i-liscious factor for me! Fresh and Tasty. I ended up ordering a 2nd Rainbow Roll (one would have been enough, but two was extra satisfactory, as well as 2 beers. For the times and location 56.00 with tip and tax for a nice experience I consider quite worthwhile. read more

We came here on Valentine's Day for lunch after sugar fish had a crazy wait. We're so glad we found this little gem. It's more of a casual atmosphere, but the quality of the fish was superb! We were so blown away and pleasantly surprised. Probably one of the best in Pasadena and for the price it's such a steal. Unagi roll: melts in your mouth like butter. Wow. Combo B: delicate fish and so fresh We decided to order a dragon roll because the eel was so good. Rice ratio was great and they didn't pack it on. The tempura was very light and not too doughy or heavy. It was just perfect. Definitely will be coming back! Highly recommend. read more

I'm always looking for new restaurants to eat at in Pasadena and am glad it was open by the time we checked out of our hotel at 11 am. It's in a corner so it was easy to spot! There are a lot of stores and other activities you could do in the area. But it's metered street parking, even on Sundays. The place itself is small and cozy, but the windows and white walls brighten up the restaurant to make it seem more spacious. The biggest table they have can sit 6 people. Most tables sit 4, and a few 2. They also have counter seating. The host is wonderful and polite! I love how they give you a wooden thing with a QR code that leads you to a digital menu. It has pictures of each item on the menu. It was really helpful for me since I usually look up how each item looks anyway, lol. My favorite was the lemon salmon roll, but everything else was also fresh and delicious. The total for 4 items and 2 drinks were about $85. You could pay cash to pay a little less read more

We loved their lemon roll and their yellowtail roll. The lemon slices topped a beautiful balance acidity for the richness of the roll, and the jalepeno a nice kick to the yellowtail roll. Both had the house sauce, which had ponzu sauce in it, which we loved. The was a favorite of our 18 month old, and the portion was very generous.
