This place was so awesome. I was impressed by their salad and sushi it was fresh an delicious. I would definitely revisit this place!

2/13/26 I Love this place! I've been going here since they opened and have never had a bad experience. Sometimes they can get very busy and service slows down a little but they really put in a solid effort to keep up. They are under new management and I like the improvements so far. This was our Valentine dinner (3rd year in a row) and it was excellent. We started with the Broiled Mussels. This has been one of our favorites for many years and we were a little surprised that they had changed it up.....and made them even better. The Mussels are huge, very tender and now topped with Scallops and Roe. Wow! Much, much better! I am a huge Unagi fan and this was incredible! A bigger portion than before and so incredibly tender and full of flavor! We finished the night with a beautiful order of Bluefin Tuna. Oh my God.....unbelievably delicious! This was a great night at Go Go. Stellar service. Baba and Freddy are great Sushi Chefs, very personable and very on top of things. read more

Paul. Where did you Go Go!? This was an old review with 5 stars that I am reviewing and It Hurts me to say write this but... I have been coming here for almost 20 years and you can see most of the negative reviews... have a similar pattern. I understand change. I understand giving it a chance. But I echo what all the long time GO GO customers have said. Every single thing where words taken right out of my mouth. Brought my daughter like we usually always do... and we're shocked. Gave it a chance. We're shocked again. There was no win here. Like I said everything that the old clients complained about is true. By daughter literally she's a tear because this was our spot. Literally live up the street. I hope New Go Go will hear the cries. Keep the upgrades. Bring back the old. Incorporate the new. Do something. Because we're permanently here. Strong support. Long time support. Consistent support. What else would you want as an owner than several long term customers. They'll bring you the business. Will try and convince her to come one last time. If not I will and see how it goes. read more

I'm on the fence and a bit confused stepping through the door. It wasn't that long ago me and my sons came here and now it appears they have changed ownership. The last ownership had a certain personable charm to the place and they remembered their customers. Inside is a bit more decorative, lots of blinking light ropes. I do like blinkies. The music is fine as well. Again, nothing negative on the new ownership, I'm just thrown off a bit by the change. I guess in all fairness a new ownership deserves a chance. On first impression though, I'm a bit disappointed as for years when coming here I would get a lobster roll, which is no longer available. I defaulted to bento boxes of all things, which I have never ordered something like that. The menu was mostly text but I can read. Prior establishments menu was highly visual. It's also now canned soft drinks and a glass of ice, budget, where prior was from fountain and there were refills. I'm sure the cost and hassle of soda fountain was likely why the change. The food was ok but I didn't finish it. The fish was ok but a little dry, the dumplings were deep fried, I'm on the fence with regard to their tempura shrimp, salad was good. Not forced to eat here by any means but I feel I had to settle for something rather than being able to order a favorite. Such is life. There is nothing at all wrong with the restaurant, I'm just unclear if I would return here over other sushi places in Pasadena. I normally went out of my way for Go Go Sushi. Hope this new Go Go does well. read more

Someone please explain to me why have a conveyor belt for food and drinks to be delivered and not use it?! This was just the first tip off that this place is not trying, the food was next. I guess I should have known that any All You Can Eat place is going to have lower quality fish. Stupid me. It was not great cuts of salmon, sushi or escolar. The escolar carpaccio was drowning in a sweet sticky sauce. Yuck. Then we got a mango sexy roll or something and it was chunky and the mango was inside the roll with the crab which overpowered the mango. All of it was just meh. Maybe our expectations were too high in the first place, but we won't be back. We'll go to Kura next time. read more

A hidden gem AYCE sushi restaurant in Pasadena that really close to Arcadia. The fish was really fresh and we ordered a lot. Ordered all the limited sushi and we loved them. The no-rice rolls were really good too and we enjoyed it. The carpaccio it's similar with sashimi and loved the salmon and tuna. The service was great and we enjoyed our dinner. There is sake and beer on discounted price and we drank a lot. read more

Had a date night here and we were seated right away. Was really excited when I seen the conveyor belt because I've really missed having a floating sushi spot in Pasadena. Bummer,the belt was running but not actually for sushi. I'm guessing there wasn't enough demand to keep it going? Other than that, my bento box was good... fresh and a good value. I did notice a lot of signage about new ownership, but this was my first visit so I can't compare it to before. Overall, solid spot. Adding it to our regular sushi rotation. read more

This place is under new management, which is a real shame because under previous ownership it had been a favorite place for us to go for sushi for many years. But we decided to try it out anyway. In addition to really loud thumping music, the kitchen was blasting mariachi music. We couldn't make sense of the menu. We didn't opt for the AYCE menu, but ordered individual instead. The sushi was only half the width, a travesty. We ordered house sake and there was a fruit fly in it. They brought us another one, but we pretty much lost our appetite after that. It was a Saturday night and there was only one table. So I feel sad writing this review, but truly wish the best for the new owners and hope they are able to make some improvements and stay in business. Times are tough. read more

everything from the ambiance and music to the amazingly fresh AYCE selections was phenomenal! We originally tried this place out through DoorDash they had a great BOGO on a lot of their items and we enjoyed it so much that we HAD to come back and try the AYCE and we were not disappointed! the service was great and they even have all day happy hour for 50% beers and sake, we will definitely be coming back! read more

This used to be a regular place for us and we loved the friendly service and affordable menu that was always fresh. Unfortunately under new ownership it has lost its charm. I believe the switch happened about three months ago. I went in and was surprised at how different it felt, and the pricing was no longer wallet friendly. read more

I really enjoyed go go. I went at 3pm and I had the place to myself. The waitress and I had a really great conversation, she was super nice. I ordered the lobster crab roll and it was amazing. So much flavor. I could be wrong but there might have been crawfish in the roll as well. It was exactly what I needed. I would recommend this place and will be back read more

James the sushi chef and Grace the waitress were so kind! James was incredibly generous and gave me his chef's special so I could taste it and maybe order it next time. I asked for a custom salmon hand roll and he happily made it for me, even plating it with a cute little bug made from an orange. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. Such a great experience! Will come again next time I'm in the area I HIGHLY recommend the Crispy Rice with Tuna. Delicious!! read more

I liked it. Decent neighborhood sushi spot. Came in for a dinner with a friend after a class. Simple interior with plenty of seating. Plenty of seats along the rotating sushi bar, which apparently they don't use lol, at least while we were there. We got the eel special roll. I liked it, good size too. My friend got the tuna avocado and yellow tail cut rolls and said they were good and hit the spot if you're looking for a nice, simple roll. We also got the stuffed jalapenos. I liked those, they're like fancier jalapeno poppers. The menu is pretty big with sushi, bento, and rice bowls so I'll definitely be coming back to try more. They also have a happy hour 11:30a-3p so this would probably be a good spot to grab lunch too. Service was good. Friendly staff. Easy parking in the shopping center lot. read more

Went here on a Friday night with a group of 6. We were seated around 7:40 PM and at first we understood the wait since it was busy. It took around 20 minutes to get appetizers and 2 sushi plates, which was acceptable. But after that, service became extremely slow. We waited about 45 minutes just for 6 pieces of sushi to come out. We continued waiting while no other orders came out, and eventually they brought back our order sheet only for us to realize that almost half of the items we ordered were never brought to us. By this point, we had already been there for over 2 hours. When we told them we wanted to leave because of the excessive wait and missing food, instead of resolving the issue they tried to convince us to place another order. The only positive thing was that they gave us an additional discount on top of their promo, but that only happened because we specifically asked what they could do about the bill after the poor experience. I understand restaurants get busy on Friday nights, but waiting over 2 hours with missing orders and little communication is unacceptable. Very disappointing experience overall. read more

10/10 sushi spot! Sushi is always fresh and tasty!! The flavors are always well-balanced and service is always quick and friendly. This has become a new favorite sushi spot even compared to more popular restaurants. I usually like to sit at the sushi bar in front of rotating belt you can see the chefs preparing plates. Service is always quick and very attentive. I like to order the salmon sashimi it's always cut thick and tastes very fresh. Along with the salmon, all the sashimi is very tasty. The double-double roll is my favorite! Along with a Kirin beer! Great sushi restaurant it's a hidden gem. read more

My 2nd time here and I'll be back again. Good service. Knowledgeable staff. They have a moving conveyor belt at the sushi bar that reminds me of the Covid-killed Sushi Afloat in West Pasadena on the same street (Colorado Blvd.) I tried the Soju liqueur that @KenAbroad was treated to in Seoul Korea and I liked it. I also had shrimp tempura, Salmon sushimi, and smelt egg. The ambiance is very nice for parties. read more

RIP GoGo sushi. While the renovation is nice, the menu has totally changed. We were overwhelmed. The quality at best is supermarket sushi. The veggie tempura was not light and oily. Never got my water refilled. At the bar, we were offered oranges to end our meal and declined. Gloved hands that were handling raw fish will not be serving me oranges. No sir, thank you. That was our spot for over 15 years. read more

Really enjoyed the sushi here. The salmon skin roll was stellar - filled with crunchy meaty pieces. Maybe the best I've ever had. The eel nigiri was excellent. The portion of hamachi was generous and tasty. The California roll was good - what you expect. I had the Yummy Crispy - it was interesting but not my favorite. I loved the combination of dressed fish on the crispy wonton but it just wasn't my cup of tea. Excellent service. The restaurant was near empty when I entered 2pm-ish, which made me a little nervous. but I needn't have worried - the quality wss there. read more

So incredibly sad that GoGo Sushi has changed ownership!! This was my favorite go to sushi spot for over 4 years. I had so many delicious meals and good times here- brought my entire family and friends. My kids and I visited pretty regularly every month, all the chefs and servers knew us. Spent birthdays, Christmas, graduation celebrations and so much more at the old GoGo. The menu was huge, amazing fish quality, music was always great and the decorations inside were beautiful and colorful traditional Japanese art. I was greeted by name each time I came in by both the chefs and servers because I went so often! Unfortunately, none of that is true anymore. The stripped the whole place of any color, everything is black and beige now with only one piece of art left on the back wall. They changed the menu completely and the food was honestly really not good. My sons enjoyed their kitchen food- beef teriyaki and tempura, but everything else from the rolls to the miso soup was terrible. They don't use silken tofu but the cheaper option of "soft" tofu which is porous for the soup now and that's a big pet peeve of mine when it comes to a sushi place. I typically get all raw when I used to go, but I asked if they use the same fish vendor and since they didn't I got a roll. It was called Crab and lobster roll and there was a picture of it on the menu with a whole lobster tail on top. Well- it was in fact crawfish despite advertising lobster and being one of the most expensive things on the menu. My daughter always got an eel special roll but they didn't have it anymore so she stuck with a basic cali roll and said they didn't even get that right. The service was good still but I don't see why they got rid of literally everyone that worked there before? Maybe they just didn't want to work at such a mediocre spot after being used to working at the best restaurant ever for so long!!! Even the music sucks now ugh! I literally cried on the way home because of how much I'm going to miss GoGo!! even as I'm writing this review all of the suggested photos are the food I've gotten there in the past a picture of my little sister smiling there! Truly heartbreaking read more

I visited Go Go Sushi on 5/8/26 for AYCE with some friends and had a genuinely bad experience. We waited over 3 hours for our food, and by the time we had to leave, much of what we ordered still never came out. I could detail every issue, but instead I'd rather provide feedback directly because it's clear the restaurant has some major operational issues that need attention: * Create a real process for taking orders, sending them to the chefs, tracking what has been made, and tracking what has actually made it to the table. Right now it appeared to be one person manually reading the AYCE paper, inputting it into a receipt, and handing it off to the chefs. That system clearly breaks down under volume. * Give the kitchen a way to validate what has been completed and what still hasn't. Whether that's pens to mark dishes off, tickets, or a digital system; something needs to exist. * Create a better system for identifying which dishes go to which tables. Every times staff seemed to have to ask the chefs where plates were supposed to go. * The AYCE order sheet should be printed larger or redesigned. Staff seemed to struggle reading what was ordered and inputting it correctly. * Train employees on the menu. It was clear there was confusion around what rolls were what, both in the kitchen and on the floor. * Customer service basics matter: refill waters, clear tables, communicate with each other, and check in with guests, especially when service is running behind. * Food quality had potential, but consistency was lacking. Portion sizes and cuts varied noticeably from plate to plate. * Make sure people are playing to their strengths. It felt like some employees were put into roles they weren't equipped or trained for, which created more chaos. * And please don't yell at employees over the heads of customers. Most importantly: when service breaks down this badly, own it. If customers are sitting for hours without food, come to the table, apologize, communicate what's happening, and offer some form of reconciliation. Ignoring customers when things go wrong only makes the experience worse. There's potential here, but after this experience, there's clearly a lot that needs to be fixed read more

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT! This place LOST its Touch after new management came in. I've been coming here since I was 19 years old I'm 38 now. The Food WAS always amazing.. the service WAS always impeccable, the ambience WAS always calm. ITS NOW "MODERN CHIC SUSHI" Sat down right away But it took 15 min to get a menu.. another 15min to get our order placed.another 10 min to get our soda alone. Another 25 min to get our food. People were walking out left and right stating the same thing "we haven't received the menu ... we've been waiting 30 min and no one has taken our order" Food came out ... mediocre sushi. Nice presentation but quality wasn't good like before. It makes me sad this was the go to place. I won't be going back. This place wanted to hip and trendy ... go for it ... the employees that were there before were always nice and on it. Too bad really enjoyed the old GOGO... read more

We've been coming to Go Go since we moved to Pasadena 3.5 years ago and love it more each time we go. Yes, they've recently changed their ownership and made adjustments to the menu and deco, but the service and overall quality didn't miss a beat. The crispy rice is exceptional, as are all of their rolls. Tonight, the blue fin was exceptional. The Sushi Chef, James, is not only an artist but a genuinely lovely person and impressed us with his creativity and kindness. We will absolutely be back to eat more of James' sushi and continue supporting an incredible business here in Pasadena. read more
