    Onion Bloom Roll * Evergreen Roll * Salmon Lime Roll * Baked Baby Lobster Roll
    Nancy C.

    If you are looking for a sushi place with fresh fish, this is the place to go! We had great service and food presentation. It's also super cute for a date. I would definitely recommend this sushi spot! We ordered the salmon, lime, Evergreen, onion bloom and baked baby lobster roll. They were all super delicious! Make it a day and go shopping at Bloomingdale's and pick up some sweet treats at Porto's across the street.

    Place is nice looking, but somewhat tight. We were seated at a tiny table for two and the pacing of dishes was infuriating, as pretty much everything came at once and the table was so cramped that it was uncomfortable. Glasses, plates, ice bucket, and then the sushi plates... I hated it. The sushi was good, and it was attractive to look at, but nothing really blew us away. Service was friendly, but she simply wasn't a great server. Final problem as that our Sake was a different price on the check from what was listed in the menu. When I mentioned it, she just said, "oh, we got new menus." I mentioned that wasn't the point and that it wasn't okay. She didn't seem to get it. So, beware of something possibly shady going on. Not bad, but we won't return.

    Had a very nice dinner experience with friends at Cavi. The sushi was good and well presented. The wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Only drawback was it was pricey.

    BlueFin Nest Sashimi

    Such a cute, cozy, and family run sushi spot. We ordered the: bluefin nest sashimi, rainbow roll, atomic roll, yellowtail serrano roll, spicy tuna on crispy rice, plus shishito peppers and edamame. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. Service is consistently great, reservations are easy, and the staff is friendly and attentive.

    Definitely a top sushi spot in the area. I love this local, family-run place operated by a father and son! The menu is full of fresh, delicious options. While the rice was ever so slightly overcooked and a bit bland in my opinion, the quality and freshness of the fish more than made up for it. Many places have nigiri that tastes the same due to similar ingredients, but not here--each piece had its own distinct flavor. I also appreciated the reservation option; our table was ready the moment we arrived. The interior is relaxing, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Our drinks were always topped off, and the servers made sure we were well taken care of. Parking on the street can be a bit tricky, but there are plenty of nearby parking structures and lots available.

    Finally a sushi place that combines quality fish with a nice casual atmosphere and great staff! The edamame was warm and perfectly salted. The unsweetened green tea came with an edible flower, and they have lunch specials! The nigiri was to die for. And they had gf soy sauce. I will definitely come back and try their other lunch specials. Delish!

    For a date night out, we chose Cavi Sushi in Glendale, and were NOT disappointed. Not only do they already have a great run of reviews (over 200, for a 4.8 star average at the time of our visit), but they lived up to EVERY expectation. Street parking was...well, street parking. But overall it wasn't at all difficult to find a spot within easy walking distance. And the walk itself takes you past a number of upscale businesses and other places you may just want to come back and visit. I know we will! Cavi Sushi passed "new sushi place test #1" with flying colors. It didn't smell like fish when we walked in. IYKYK. For those who don't know, if you smell fish when you walk in...walk out. We were seated right away (our reservation wasn't at all needed), and the service was polite and prompt. The interior is very well decorated; quite classy. Even the chairs were a step up: cushioned and very comfortable. The menu was straightforward. We selected some nigiri to start with (salmon, salmon belly, unagi, and red snapper), and a couple of rolls. Everything was delivered quickly, and with beautiful presentation. And the flavor...the freshness...OMG. It was perfect. The nigiri were excellent, and the rolls were outstanding. I loved the Atomic roll, and my lady was very happy with her choice: the Yellowtail Serrano roll. Check out the photos! As with most sushi places, the beer selection was slim. But they did have some decent house wines available, and a glass of cab added a touch of magic to our dinner. Make Cavi Sushi a regular for your sushi outings! I know we will.

    So so delicious! My boyfriend and I were in search of a new sushi spot and my goodness, we are so glad we found this place! You have to try the atomic roll! Spicy and tasty and all the right flavors! The salmon lime roll was fresh and citrusy--my favorite! Honorable mention to the spicy tuna crispy which was also a standout! The onion bloom roll was on the salty side but the crispy onions were yum! Everyone was very friendly and the chef was awesome! Casual ambiance, great for date night or to catch up with friends!

    Heaters on a cold night were warmly comfortable. Outside seating in open air is always welcome. Lunch prices are more reasonable. The fish looked fresh and tasted good. The servers were within reach, courteous and attentive. Emilia and Peter worked smoothly as a team.

    The sushi was amazing. They were as good to eat as they were beautiful to look at. The service was friendly and helpful. Will be coming back often.

    Cavi Sushi has officially become my new favorite sushi spot. The quality of the fish is outstanding. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. The Sashimi literally melts on your palate like butter.

    Service was great! The waiter Peter was extremely attentive and down-to-earth. He even gave me a birthday gift on house from the chef, the Bluefin Nest Sashimi (which was my favorite thing we tried). The service alone beat out many of the other spots. Ambiance was chill, super clean, and nice view of the street watching life go by. Food was very tasty and high quality, better than many of the sushi spots that exist on the same boulevard. They also brought me a birthday ice cream

    What we ordered. Got a few extra things from the chef to try as well that's not listed.

The interior has a modern aesthetic and even on a Wednesday evening, it was packed with a wait. We didn't have to wait too long, but as we ate and had dinner I noticed that it was full consistently. We sat down and they have have a wide array of items on their menu. We went with 3 dinner specials which have a small options (one has tempura, another with a California Roll. and one with Both) safe to we ordered one of each. For Apps we got some Edamame and Kaarage. For Rolls, we went with Rainbow Roll and Catapillar Roll. Starting with apps, the edamame to me was good a touch less salt which was great for my father. The karaage was flavorful with that sesame taste and juicy interiror. To me it was rather small compared to what I am used to, but flavor wise on par. The Rainbow roll is a staple anywhere I go for the first time as that gives me the array of fish with a California roll. The fish was fresh tasting and to me was fine. My slight disappointment was with the Caterpillar Roll, my parents just returned from Japan and the first thing they compared the roll to was what they experienced over there. Not a fair comparison, but none the less I am posting it here as refence as I see the same in surrounding restuarants here. The dinner special comes with Miso Soup, Salad, Protein of choice, and a choice of side (tempura, California Roll, or both). We each got one of the combinations. The Chicken Teriyaki was juicy and good compared to what I normally get from similar restaurants. Overall, a good choice if your simply looking for something balanced. What won me over, was the service. The place was packed and the staff and manager were out there doing what they can, but I didn't hear a single complaint around the restaurant. Not about the wait times, nor the food, and that matters. A small interaction that I happened to pick up, was one of the staff helping an elderly gentleman put on his coat. A small gesture but to me means the world. If they can take a second to do that for him, they really care about your experience. As a local favorite, I can highly recommend this place not just that the food is good, but because service tipped my scale. Mind the place was packed and smiles all around from everyone. I will be back if I am around, I am so glad I was able to finally check this one off my list!

    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. :)

    I had been a longtime customer here for about seven years, but I stopped going after getting food…read morepoisoning from fish here in March 2025. 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.
