KazuNori has become my daughter's favorite hand roll spot lately, and the rest of the family loves…read moreit too. The hand rolls are consistently fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced. Our favorite is the Nagaimo hand roll--simple but incredibly refreshing and flavorful with the fish roe. The 4-roll set is only $20, which is an amazing value these days. They also allow some substitutions within the set as long as the replacement is of similar value, which is a nice touch. Service is always fast and efficient, making it an easy place for a quick lunch or dinner. I used to go to the original KazuNori location years ago, and this Pasadena location is relatively new to us. We recently started coming back because my daughter loves it so much, and I have to say I think it's even better than I remembered. The quality has remained consistently high, and it's now our go-to spot whenever we're craving sushi hand rolls. Highly recommended!

Love love love Kazu Nori! I was so excited that they finally opened a location closer to me!…read more I've been here twice and have gotten the set of 5 both times. Very attentive staff - constantly checking in on you and refilling water as needed. Loved that the restroom had two separate soaps, one to use during your meal (unscented), and one to use after your meal (scented). Quality of the fish is great! One thing I always look for is good /fresh nori, perfectly cooked/seasoned rice, rice to fish ratio and they always deliver. Highly recommend - Price is pretty dang unbeatable for the sets or a la carte. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait! I also arrived on a Saturday at 11am and there was a short line, but I was promptly seated and served!

This was the first time at this location but I've been to their Torrance location. I like this location more just because it is closer to stores I go to. This location is smaller than the one in Torrance but since there wasn't any many people inside, it was still relaxing. The tempura was light and their side free pickled celery and ginger is really refreshing and add nice touch to the meal. I will be back the next time I'm craving this again.

There was also no crunch to it. I remember the Torrance location tempura had a very nice crunch, batter was light and airy, and it stuck to the food. The sauce is the same, as they put it in the rice instead of you dipping it into a sauce. I also got cold soba on the side since they can't substitute the rice for soba. Soba wasn't anything special. The noodles at the Torrance location is better I promise! The miso soup was okay, didn't really enjoy it that much. It's not your typical miso soup. It has mushrooms in it. The mushroom flavor was too strong for me. Service was meh since we sat down first, but they took the order from our neighbors before us. Their food came out first too. Most likely won't come back to this location again. Not sure if they just had an off day when I went, but I had a disappointing experience.

I was passing through East Pasadena and looking for a good…read moresushi spot, so I decided to try this place since it seemed pretty popular. The atmosphere was quiet, clean, and very comfortable,which made the whole experiencefeel really relaxing. Instead of doing Lunch set we ordered a few sushi items separately, and everything tasted fresh. The sushi rice was especially good and nicely seasoned. The tables were also spacious, so I think it would be a great spot for small gatherings or family dinners. Staffs are also friendly(Thank you, Grand!) I also enjoyed the uni egg toast, but I'd probably come back for the sushi again next time.

HAKATA SET (Your choice of: Tonkotsu or Miso Ramen, comes with Mini Spicy Tuna Don, Chicken Karaage 2 pcs, Tsukemono) This was one of the set items for the lunch special. Chose the miso ramen. The miso ramen had a very strong white miso flavor. Didn't hate it, as I do love miso, but it was a little too much miso for my liking. Typical curly ramen and it was cooked well. Loved the jammy egg too. It was a soy marinated egg. There were also three pieces of chashu too! It was good, but slightly overcooked. The portion of the ramen was medium sized and was surprised they didn't bring a smaller size since it was a set meal. But happy they were generous! Spicy tuna don was a small bowl, but they gave a good portion of spicy tuna, which was delicious. Chicken karaage were two pieces of chicken and it was just okay. No tsukemono was served with the meal. Overall the meal was satisfying. I think the price was fair for what was given. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly and attentive customer service. No complaints! AMBIANCE / TABLES + SEATS Very calm and relaxing ambiance. It was quiet and no music was playing, which I liked. The restaurant was super clean and I liked how the tables were set. Large tables in the back and small tables were closer to the front. Bar seats on the side. It was a medium-sized restaurant, but the layout made it feel larger. Clean bathroom too. PARKING The closest and most logical parking spot was the one right across from the restaurant. School House Garage on 33 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91105. Rates: $1.00 first 2 hrs, $2.00 for each additional hour. $12 for the full day. I liked the set menu, it was good for the price and I would like to return to try their other lunch menu items, whether it would be a set menu or a la carte.

It was fantastic if there was 10 stars i will give a 10 out of 10 it was clean #Jimmyread more
