We had an overall good experience here and the service was attentive and friendly The highlight was definitely the quality of the fish--the black snapper, fatty tuna, and yellowtail belly sushi were all amazingly fresh and packed with flavor. The fatty tuna was deliciously rich. The salmon snow crab roll was another winner. My only minor critique is that some of the other specialty rolls (like the hungry roll, golden unagi roll, and jalapeño tempura roll) weren't quite as memorable and felt a bit heavy on the rice filler compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, it's a solid 4-star spot. I'd definitely come back, but I'll stick more to their incredible sushi and simple rolls next time! read more

We come here often and are always satisfied with the food. Their sushi is fresh and orders come out quickly. I will say tho, given how often we eat hear, it would be nice to have the customer service acknowledge that -- such as "nice to see you again" or something. But the food is excellent so we will be back! read more

Everything we tried was super fresh and beautifully presented! The sashimi was definitely the highlight for me. It was thick, buttery, and really fresh. I especially loved the sweet shrimp; it was so delicate and naturally sweet. The ankimo was another favorite. It was rich and creamy without being too heavy, and paired really well with the sauce and toppings. You can tell they put a lot of attention into both the quality of the seafood and the presentation. Such a great spot if you love fresh sashimi and Japanese food. I'd definitely come back and try more from the menu! read more

This place is a really good value and has excellent service. The sushi solid and their hot foods are really good.

I have been coming to Ichima for the past 15 years and think the overall quality of their food is top notch. Their prices are affordable and they have something for everyone. If you are not into fish they have curry, udon and teriyaki. They provide complimentary miso soup for all guests. Today I ordered the pork katsu curry, spicy tuna crispy rice, hanabi sashimi, shrimp tempura roll, ichima wrap and chirashi bowl. All the dishes were presented elegantly and our server checked in on us frequently. Pork katsu curry: Served on a big plate you get 2 scoops of rice, 2 big pieces of pork katsu and a sea of curry. The katsu was crispy, meaty and not oily. The curry was mild and I was overall surprised at how much meat the dish came with. For about $20 this is enough to feed 2 people. Spicy tuna crispy rice: This order came with 4 pieces. The crispy rice was stacked with a mound of spicy tuna and avocado. It was a perfect starter that my friend and I enjoyed. The rice was the perfect amount of crispiness as other places tend to make it too crispy and it'll stick to your teeth. Hanabi sashimi: For $53 you get 15 pieces of premium assorted sashimi that features salmon, fatty toro, amber jack, yellowtail, snapper and octopus. All the pieces of fish I had were glistening and melted in my mouth. They were thick cut and the presentation was IG worthy. Shrimp tempura roll: The shrimp tempura roll had a giant fried shrimp in the middle. The crispy tempura flakes were generous and soaked up all the eel sauce. Ichima wrap: If you want an option that has no rice then the Ichima wrap is the way to go. It is wrapped in soy paper and you get a mouth full of spicy tuna, spicy crab, shrimp tempura and gobo. It has a very rich taste and carb friendly. Chirashi bowl: If you come for lunch their chirashi bowl is only $20. There is about 12 pieces of fish on top smothering the whole bowl. The sushi rice was warm and lightly acidic from the sushi rice vinegar. I enjoyed the variety of fish that it came with and will be coming back to lunch more often. read more

Sushi date in Pasadena but make it elevated Pulled up to Ichima and let's just say...this was NOT your average sushi run. Started strong with the Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice (perfect crunch) and Albacore Crispy Onion--light, flavorful, and gone in seconds. The Toro Toast? Insane. Buttery, rich, melt-in-your-mouth energy. Had to get the Spicy Garlic Edamame for a little kick, then went all in with the Baked Crab Hand Roll and Crunch Roll (no regrets). And of course...we kept it classic with sushi: Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail, Red Snapper, Scallop, and Shrimp--fresh, clean, and chef's kiss every bite. Lowkey date night vibes, highkey obsessed. read more

I don't remember exactly the first time I dined here, but I do remember kicking myself for not trying Ichima earlier, since I live close by and shop at the adjacent Ralphs all the time. Restaurants closer to Foothill in this same shopping plaza have come and gone (Kabuki, Pick Up Stix), but Ichima, situated further back near N. Rosemead by the bowling alley, remains. Lots of folks come here for the sushi, which is great. It's always been better than Kabuki, although Kabuki did have Happy Hour specials that lured people in. However, what I always get at Ichima is their bento box. It's available and lunch and dinner, with dinner costing a bit more, although you get more food. You can get 1-2 main items (teriyaki, fish, katsu, rolls--some have an upcharge), with a side of mixed tempura or gyoza, a salad and rice. I usually add a bowl of curry for $2.95 more--great to put over the rice. A very substantial meal. Since I usually get some sushi as well, I usually have leftovers. When you're seated, they'll ask for your drink order and if you want miso soup. Say yes, because the soup is free. Service is consistently good. The place can get crowded--they have a Yelp list when they are busy. A local fave! read more
