After wandering around Old Town my friend and I stopped here for a light bite to eat. The restaurant is small and cozy and the staff here are friendly. We ordered a selection of Nigiri Sushi (3 pcs) Salmon, Tuna, & Yellowtail. It was nicely presented, fresh, & tasty. This place was a good discovery. I'd come back. *9.99 lunch specials are a good deal. (Mon - Fri 11:30 am - 4 pm) read more

I've been a patron of Sushi Stop for years! I've seen it go through numerous changes, good and bad. It hasn't stopped me from coming to make my usual sushi pit stops whenever I'm in the area! I noticed the change that the made since I last was here was adding a ramen collaboration. They also changed their menus to become a cute flip book. We always play the beer dice game, and to my luck, I got a glass of Sapporo for $0.99! Woohoo! We ordered the salmon sampler, a salmon avocado roll, rainbow roll, salmon truffle hand rolls, and a baked salmon. The customer service was decent depending on who was serving you. Some servers were carefree, some were detailed and attended to your needs. Overall, it doesn't stop my love of enjoying sushi with decent pricing. Thank you for the meals! read more

Very decent for the price. We even got a discount and free desserts when posting a photo on insta. We got a premium nigiri set for $45. It was good. The tofu salad needed more dressing. Prob need to add lime or some ponzu in it as well. It was a bit bland, imo. We also ordered the soft shell crab. It was alright. The free mini pancakes were meh...I wouldn't get it again. It was actually my first time doing dine in here. Other times, I ordered Togo. Line was always long when I arrived to pick up my order. Never had an issue with the foods. Packaging was always great. It was nice to try dine in. We came when it just opened so we got seated right away. Service was good. RR avail read more

SushiStop in Pasadena is a small spot, but the food is consistently delicious. It's our go-to place for affordable, tasty sushi with great service. My absolute favorites are the popcorn shrimp sushi, baked salmon, and baked scallop sushi--each plate comes with four pieces and is typically around $5-$6, which is an excellent value. I also love their blue crab hand roll. They add this incredible mayo-based sauce to their rolls that takes everything to the next level--it's seriously so good. Service is always friendly and efficient, and we usually get seated pretty quickly. Another big plus is their rewards program. If you come often like I do, it really adds up and makes it even more worth it. Since it's located in downtown Pasadena, parking is easy with nearby parking structures. My husband and I love this place, and it's hands down our favorite sushi spot in the area. Highly recommend. read more

Was in Old Town Pasadena and needed to get a quick lunch. Sushi Stop has some great lunch specials starting at $9.99 and from what I saw, the portion sizes were very good. I opted to get a nice big bowl of Ramen with the extra char sui and it did not disappoint. For the price there was a lot of wonderful, flavorful slices of pork. The ramen was good and hit the spot.

SushiStop Pasadena - Spicy garlic ramen lunch $12.19! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have been here twice now. My first takeout experience was good, but this second takeout order was a major letdown. I picked up a Spicy Miso Ramen at 12:45 PM, exactly when they stated my order would be ready. By the time I brought it back to eat at 1:10 PM, it was already completely cold--not even warm. Given how fast it lost heat, it honestly felt like they just gave me leftover broth and noodles. The food here is decent for the price, but they really need to make sure hot broth actually stays hot for takeout customers. read more

Every time I'm in the area, I have to make a stop here. The sushi is always fresh and reasonably priced. My go-to orders include the truffle salmon and the baked salmon roll. Service is always great and I love the casual vibes. A must try when in Pasadena! read more

This is a typical Americanized Japanese place. DECOR was nice. Nice sit down place. We arrived at 11:45 and there were not a lot of people but was 90% full when we left around 12:30. FOOD the $9.99 lunch special has a nice variety and generous portion. It's a total steal with today's inflation. We were worried that it's be small but all dishes came out of decent sizes. The original poke was slightly odd with tomato and avocado added but otherwise taste fine. We rate it 3/5. Spicy poke was fairly spicy. We'd rate it 5/5. The chicken udon was kinda salty which we had to add water, but taste was good. No veggies though. 3.5/5 after water added. We noticed there were lots of take out orders but also plenty of people here alone on their lunch break. SERVICE was great. All the servers are super friendly very efficient. You are acknowledged right away. Advertised about lunch specials and they work together as a team and always paid attention to see if you needed something. Overall this is a good place if craving for a hearty affordable Americanized Japanese food. Not sure that's I'd drive all the way here just for this, but won't mind if in the area. read more

Found a maggot inside the edamame, but did not offer to do a full refund at first. Their food is NOT clean.

Found a maggot in edamame. Didn't offer full refund until our 3rd time asking. Wouldn't not eat here, very dirty restaurant!!!

maggots found in edamame and didn't even offer a full refund after they saw it themselves. DONT GO HERE

Good enough. I regularly order here just for the price and convenience honestly. I usually order some california rolls, dynamite mussels and dynamite bay scallop roll. I wish they had more scallop roll options because the one I get is pretty mid tier. The dynamite mussels are good at least for this area on UberEats. For the price, it's solid read more

The curry lunch special is a great deal. Can't find anything cheaper that tastes better in the old Town area. The service is okay.

Sushistop has the logo based off the iconic GameStop without any of the trauma that GameStop caused me of coming in with hopes and dreams only to be crushed by an overweight gamer telling me my games are worth a few cents. Instead I get amazing sushi in the heart of the main strip of Pasadena with super good sushi and homey vibes from welcoming waiters. Also I was lucky enough to play their beer dice game where the gambler in me came out and I rolled double 6's for some .99 beer. Whether you love a cold Japanese beer or just good sushi in a great spot this place has it covered. If you guys get lucky enough to have, Devin or Jocelyn to serve you be nice and let them know you came there from a Yelp and they will take good care of you. read more

My favorite spot to come for good sushi on any day. The cuts of fish are always fresh, not to mention bigger than everyone else. Our server Tracy was so nice and greeted us as soon as we sat down. I'd come back over and over just for a server like her, let alone the great sushi. read more

We placed an order for delivery and it wasn't marked as ready until after 45min after ordering. The driver dropped the order off within 15 minutes of picking it up but by the time the food was delivered everything was cold as if it had been sitting long before pickup. The first thing we opened to eat was the crunchy rice. We each ate a piece and realized it tasted weird. A bit like it had old guac and salsa on top (very weird). Everything else was decent tasting but cold. We had miso soup, gyoza, pieces of sushi and 2 sushi rolls. I will say that the quality of food in the restaurant hasn't disappointed before and this is the first time ordering for delivery from this restaurant. We won't be ordering delivery from here again but may visit the restaurant another time. read more

Review only based on my call + what they advertised. I saw this promotion of 50% for dine in order and because I live in ontario, I called to make sure that they still have the promotion. The employees were not rude but they would not honor their advertisement even though it specifically said "tell us the promo code when you order." I am thankful I call ahead of time before I drive there for an hour just to pay full price. They argued that I should have a flyer with the following promotion in order for me to be able to use it. If you see the advertised picture, no where does it say I have to print it. It just says to tell us. If it is only for people with flyer, why promote it like it is for everyone. Please beware and call ahead of time if you're interested in their promotions. read more

SushiStop is all about good value for decent sushi. The salmon skin hand roll was a stand out, crispy skin and crunchy veg, very nice with ponzu. The vegetable roll with yellow tail was a little too spicy, overwhelmed the fish. Will try some of their non sushi dishes the karaage curry and tempura next time. read more

My family and I have been coming to the restaurant for a couple of years now. The food is was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, but what truly makes is having an amazing service and Michelle always gives that to us. She's always so friendly, attentive, and makes us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. Michelle went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and her positive attitude really stands out. You can tell she cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. We'll definitely always continue going back--great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service thanks to Michelle and staff! read more

I usually go to Crazy Rock Sushi, but this time my friends and I wanted to try something different. When we arrived and sat down, the restaurant already smelled a bit strange. We ordered several rolls, but each roll only had four pieces, so the portions were very small. In my opinion, the prices were high for how little food we received. The sushi did not taste good. One of the rolls was supposed to be a crunch roll, but it was not baked at all, which made it disappointing. You could clearly taste each ingredient separately, especially the cucumbers, which tasted off. Sushi should have one balanced flavor, not multiple strong, separate tastes, and this made it unpleasant to eat. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I would not recommend this place if you are looking for good-tasting sushi or fair portion sizes. read more

Terrific experience! My daughter and I typically frequent the Sawtelle locations and found ourselves in Pasadena today so popped into this one. Enjoyed the spicy garlic edamame as a starter. We also shared a bowl of udon, spicy tuna sushi, and a dynamite Bay scallop roll. Reasonably priced, everything tasted really, really good and the service was fast and friendly. Go there! read more
