    Chirashi
    leslie D.

    I ordered the Chirashi bowl and blue crab sushi. The chirashi bowl was enough for 2 people. It was so fresh and delicious.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Late night sushi and it hit the spot! Everything tasted fresh craving more even when you are full! Can't go wrong with anything in the menu. Service was quick and friendly, location was clean, zero complaints.. The water tasted filtered which is a huge step up from pretty much any sushi spot.

    Sushi Combo B
    John L.

    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.

    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!

    Look at those tasty scallops!
    Kerri A.

    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.

    Sushigah has been a great experience every time that I have visited. With all the other sushi spots in Pasadena, this one always hits the spot with the small but cozy sitting area and great atmosphere. I love the people who work here and whoever's playlist that is. Food is always consistent and great, made with care. 10/10.

    Salmon Roll
    Amanda C.

    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.

    Bulgogi Ramen
    Margaret R.

    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. The flavor of the broth was savory with a touch of sweetness which really stood out to me! I would definitely come again, 10/10! :D

    Diana M.

    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!

    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!

They have multiple locations across the Southern California area including this one near Old Town Pasadena. They do not reservations and you wait in line until there are open seats for your party. We came at around 6pm on a Friday evening and were seated immediately for a party of two. When we left at around 7pm there was a long line waiting so I recommend coming earlier. I recommend coming with a smaller party. They have different presets of hand rolls by count (3 to 6) where 6 is the most popular. The chef hands each roll to you individually and you're expected to eat it immediately to ensure the seaweed is crisp and the rice is warm. I got the 6-hand roll set ($29) which included toro, yellowtail, salmon, bay scallop, crab, and lobster. My favorites were the salmon, bay scallop, and crab. I also got the eel hand roll ($5.75) which was also good. If you want to be surprised, there's The Nozie which is their omakase style 6 hand roll set.

    Osawa is 100% worth the hype, and if you haven't heard of it, let me hype it up for you…read more The place is small so be prepared to wait if you're trying to go on a Thursday-Saturday, or show up when they open for lunch or dinner. Ambiance is super cute, love the little flags over the sushi/shabu bar and the art on the walls adds to the Japanese restaurant feel. The aroma when you walk in is mouthwatering (I was really hungry) but it doesn't smell fishy like some sushi places can. Staff is unbelievably great, super friendly and helpful if you have any questions about the menu or want recommendations. Don't be afraid to ask what the MP is on omakase, they totally work with what you're looking to spend or based on how many pieces of sushi you want to eat. Now for the real reason to visit Osawa: the food is absolutely amazing!!! Fresh, tasty, perfectly portioned. From the shishito peppers appetizer to the sushi, sashimi, hand rolls, and shabu; I cannot recommend this place enough! They have plenty of sake options to pair with your meal as well as beer or specialty cocktails if that's your preference. They offer to explain your order when it arrives which is great for those newer to sushi or just trying something different. Seriously, some of those fish practically melt in your mouth. I personally haven't ordered any rolls yet but they absolutely look delicious. If you're looking for a good sushi date spot, this. is. it. It's also good for a small group, maybe up to five or so before you feel cramped. Shabu is seated at the bar and their meats and veggie are delicious and fresh, enhanced by the tasty broth. It's even good on a summer day because they have solid air conditioning. Cannot say enough good things about Osawa. Go try it for yourself. :)

After more than a year away, I decided to give Osawa another try on May 8, 2026. Unfortunately, the experience confirmed why I had stopped coming. Around 9:02 p.m., my waiter came by to ask for last orders. I ordered chicken karaage. This is a simple dish that usually comes out in about 4 to 5 minutes. For whatever reason, the order did not arrive until around 9:26 p.m. -- almost 25 minutes later. It seemed obvious that the order had been forgotten. When the karaage finally arrived, it looked hastily sauced. Several parts of the chicken were unsauced, which is not how the dish was normally served in the past. Given the delay and the apparent mishandling, I did not touch the dish. A Japanese male manager wearing glasses then came over. He recognized me, and I explained that I had not been back for more than a year because of the food poisoning incident from fish in 2025. Instead of responding seriously, the manager smiled and giggled slightly, then launched into an irrelevant conversation about his connections in the Japanese food industry in Old Town Pasadena. When he asked why I had not touched the chicken, I explained the almost 30-minute delay and the problems with the dish. Rather than comping the item or offering a real apology, the manager asked whether I still wanted to eat it or would prefer to cancel it. He then ended the conversation by suggesting that I come in during weekday lunch for the $18 lunch specials. That response was bizarre and tone deaf. I did not return after a food poisoning incident to hear a sales pitch about lunch specials. I returned as a longtime customer giving Osawa another chance. Osawa's way of doing business has changed a lot. I've seen better customer service at Erewhon.

We had a whole process of visiting as a guest and regardless if we were guest or not, the experience was fantastic as a whole. I'm big on sushi bars/restaurants presenting their dishes in a certain pattern/style and the speed matters as well. SUGARFISH does a great job at this as their set menus are the way to go although I see plenty going with a la carte which is also a great choice. My go to menu set here is the "Nozawa Trust Me" which has Edamame, Tuna/Chutoro Sashimi, Albacore, Salmon, & Sea Bream Rolls, Toro & Blue Crab Hand Rolls, Yellowtail & Hirame Sushi. Love their selections overall and can get you super full. They're all very delicious but my favorite has to go to the blue crab hand roll which is presented last on the menu set. Best for last as it's just super savory, melts in your mouth and has a great aftertaste, love it as a whole. Overall, a wonderful experience once again and it's say to safe that SUGARFISH is on top of my list when it comes to all time favorite restaurants. Interior is always clean and the lighting is perfect for a date. They do such a wonderful job at presenting and making their dishes. Vibes are always great and it's such a good spot for any occasion. Special shout out to the General Manager Joshua and their staff team for making the experience extra special, excited to visit again soon!

You're served with a plate of edamame and then each fish one by one. They wait for the entire table to finish eating the plate in front of you before going back to the kitchen to let them know when to prepare to following dish. The fish literally feels like it melts in your mouth. You get a chance to chew but then everything else melts in your mouth. The sushi rice they use is magnificent. When the sushi comes out, the rice is so warm and the fish on top is cold and it's honestly an amazing experience in your mouth.

There's no waitlist and no walk-ins, so plan ahead or you'll be sushi-less and sad. It's worth the call to reserve, trust me. The moment you step inside, the smell hits you--in the best way--like a warm, smoky aroma that instantly makes your mouth water. I could not get enough of how good it smelled inside the whole night. The vibe is cozy and homey, with dim downlights that spotlight each table like your own little sushi stage. It's a small place, but each table feels like a private nook, perfect for an intimate dinner or low-key celebration. The fish portions are very generous, whether you're ordering nigiri, a hand roll, or a cut roll. Everything comes out with beautiful presentation that makes you pause before devouring it. The salmon belly nigiri melts in your mouth--it's buttery in the best way. The yellowtail cut roll was fresh and flavorful, and the spicy tuna on crispy rice was a standout. They pile on the tuna, so it's definitely not a one-bite situation, and I loved the added crunch from the fish eggs in it. The spicy tuna hand roll had great flavor too, but I wish the seaweed had a bit more crunch--still, I appreciated the smart little flap at the bottom that kept all the fishy goodness inside. Honestly, every dish we tried was a hit. The vibe, the flavors, and the generous cuts of fish make this place feel extra special. Sushi Karen isn't trying to be flashy--it's just good, honest sushi done really really really well. I'd happily come back again any time (with a reservation, of course).
