Came across this local gem. Very nice and casual spot. Their menu was straightforward. I'd recommend their rolls over their sashimi and nigiri. The tempura was crispy and udon was fresh. The soup was a bit too sweet too sweet for me. read more

I love the fact that they're open very late in weekends, most sushi restaurants are never open past 10pm, but once I get off work, I could look forward to enjoying their seafood ramen & their salmon belly!! My only critique is wishing they had more dessert options!! Other than that, service is always great! read more

Came here for lunch after hanging around in the area. It is located next to Amara and they have a parking structure right next to it. I ordered the Sushi Combo B. Although the fish was fresh and the quality was great, the variety of the fish was not there. I thought I was going to get 8 different pieces of nigiri, but I got 4 types of fish - 2 each. Not sure if this is typically done this way, but the menu did not state that I believe. Also, its a bit on the pricier side. read more

We came for dinner on a Friday night and thought we were going to have a long wait due to the size of the restaurant. It has a nice intimate feel, with outdoor seating as well as sushi bar seating. We were seated at the sushi bar near the exit of the restaurant which was nice to be seated with some space. This didn't change how quickly or how often we were served. There were 2 servers who helped us and both were very friendly. When we visit new sushi restaurants, we order pretty much the same items and a couple different. The new items were the DJ tuna and the beef mandoo. Both were very good but the DJ tuna wasn't my favorite due to the ratio of tuna to pepper and cream cheese. The shrimp tempura is definitely a must order and the rolls are very fresh tasting. read more

I came here for a Monday dinner. The restaurant has quite limited seating and we were told most of the seating was already reserved. We sat at the bar and was instantly seated. They give you a menu, but the QR code has pictures of every dish. We ordered the oysters, baked mussels, Canadian clam nigiri, jumbo scallop nigiri, a dragon roll, and a lemon salmon roll. My favorite was the jumbo scallop nigiri. It is really big and the scallop was so tender. The Canadian clam nigiri was also really good. I'm used to getting a relatively thin slice of clam, but this was a really big meaty piece. The rest of the dishes we got were solid. The baked mussels weren't over saturated with mayo and had a balanced taste. read more

Sushigah - Shrimp Tempura Roll, 911 Roll (Spicy) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

My family ordered the fried calamari, veggie tempera, udon, Gangnam roll, and dragon roll - all of which were delicious. The Gangnam roll had tempura shrimp and spicy tuna inside with salmon on top. SO GOOD! 100% recommend especially if you're looking for a protein-packed meal. Food was ready for pick-up in 10-15 minutes. Basically, after placing the order online, I made my way over to the restaurant and everything was ready. The actual restaurant space is very cozy with nice traditional Korean art on the walls. More of a casual spot for a nice lunch or dinner out. read more

Sushigah - Sushi Combo B - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

Staff is very welcoming and attentive. They offered open seating. They do have very limited tables, window seating, and sushi bar seating. Once you grab a seat they come over with menus. Their QR code menu offers photos of their menu items. This place is located in a high traffic area of Old Town Pasadena. They seem to be a popular pick for dinner. During my visit this business quickly filled up with guests. They offer a wide variety of dishes to choose from. This is great for those who crave sushi but come with those that want something else. They have many sushi options with cooked fish for those who don't eat raw. Bulgogi Ramen- 7/10 This dish came off a bit sweet for me. It does have a good spice kick but then the last note is sweet. Spicy Tuna Roll- 8/10 Not overly spicy which is perfect for those who don't like a big kick. This roll could have been rolled better. They don't use traditional seasoned sushi rice which made this roll taste like dry regular white rice and tuna. Sun-Kissed Roll- 10/10 This roll does have a kick and is a bit spicier. This roll had a lot of flavor from the seafood and could have been more flavorful with seasoned sushi rice. read more

Very nice service and staff, good sushi, small and inviting space. Easy to park on street (pay station).

A small and cozy place to have sushi and ramen! They have vegetarian options clearly marked :) There's a parking structure right there that's real cheap! Food: Really good! My mom got the bulgogi bento and I got the soy curls bulgogi. We also had an order of the veggie mandoo and the seaweed salad. What I could eat - I haven't tasted the bulgogi flavor in a while so it felt on the sweeter side to me. However, I still remember that it's how it should be and it wasn't overly sweet so I was still okay with it! I just added a but of soy sauce to my rice to balance it out. The seaweed salad was crisp, bright, sweet, and tangy! We love this type of seaweed salad so it's always a joy to get. I was a little scared of the veggie mandoo at first because when I cracked it open, it looked like there was meat inside. That was until I remembered they had soy curls here!! They chopped that up and added it into their filling. The mandoo was hot, crispy, and very tasty. I loved it :D The tenpura that I shared with my mom from her bento was tasty too. Crispy, crunchy, and fresh tasting. It didn't taste too oily. My mom seemed to throughly enjoy her bento, which I'm glad because she can be picky. The bulgogi beef slices were probably too dry for her but that's because she likes fattier cuts of meat vs. lean. Service: Casual and friendly. They were kind and made sure to check on us to see if we needed anything. Would come back again next time! read more

I wouldn't call this spot an authentic sushi experience. If I were to categorize it, it's more of an Americanized sushi restaurant with rolls, which isn't bad! I enjoyed the Alaska and Caterpillar rolls far more than the sushi that we ordered. So, in my humble opinion, order more rolls here to get a good experience than the sushi. I also didn't know that this is more of a Japanese/Korean restaurant, which to me is a bit of a turn off. If I want sushi, I expect Japanese sushi (not Korean). This place is rather small. We would've had to wait for a table seat, so we opted in for the counter. There were only a handful of table seats, as the other option was a high table, so the seating options were very limited. Probably won't be coming back here, but I don't regret trying it out. read more

It was my first time dining here the other night and I left pretty impressed! I The restaurant is pretty small and we were seated on the counter but the counter space was so small that it was kind of hard to eat. I didn't know this restaurant was a Korean and Japanese fusion so it was interesting to see both foods on the menu. We ordered the K-Dak, a roll, and a few different pieces of sashimi. I really enjoyed the K-Dak, which is their take on the korean fried chicken. The sweet chili sauce on this dish was so good. I wasn't a big fan of the roll because it kept falling apart and was annoying to eat. The sashimi was pretty fresh though and cut is not bad. Service here was pretty good even though they were busy and staff was very friendly. read more

Stopped by on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly! Small tidy place with a nice smell. My wife got the Bento A and ate everything even though sushi isn't her thing. I grabbed the sushi combo B (forgot to take a picture because I was so eager to dig in) and everything was delicious. First time here but definitely not the last, will be returning read more

Stopped in here on a Saturday night for dinner and was not disappointed! It's a little small so if you plan to go when it's busy, definitely make use of Waitlist to wait for a table while you walk around Old Town. We ended up sitting at the bar and honestly still had plenty of space to eat the many dishes we ordered. I had the spicy tuna roll and the crispy rice and my sister ordered the bulgogi and we shared the K-dak (Korean style fried chicken). I was a little bummed they were out of the shishito peppers as it was only 5:30 when we stopped by so we had to forego those. But overall, everything was tasty and the service was attentive! I would definitely stop back in for dinner. read more

Very tiny space even for a Japanese restaurant. There's hardly enough space for people to walk through, but a guy decided to bring his very large dog inside to visit everyone in the place for some reason. The dog was sniffing every customer it could. Not knowing what it might do, I got very close to the wall but couldn't avoid its mouth touching my legs and higher since it was a big dog. Instead of telling the guy he couldn't have it inside, they just smiled at him. Go for it if you want food with drool and fleas included, no extra charge. read more

We decided to stop by after hearing all the hype and had to check it out for ourselves. I arrived just before the rush and was seated immediately, which was nice. However, the restaurant is quite small and a bit cramped--that's my only complaint. I could hear the conversation of the people behind me the entire time, making it hard to talk to my own family sitting right in front of me. But once the food arrived, the noise and cramped space didn't matter anymore. We ordered the Gangnam roll, shrimp tempura roll, crispy rice, udon noodles, and the bulgogi bento box, which also comes with vegetable tempura and California rolls. Everything was so delicious, even my picky kids devoured it all without leaving a single crumb. As Gen Z would say, this meal truly "ate and left no crumbs. read more

I think this place is more of a 3.5, i think the food is good, but nothing stood out. The spicy tuna over crispy rice was standard. I got the kids udon noodle soup, and i thought the broth was nice. The assorted sushi plate was good, but kinda pricey for the amounts of sushi. Parking is rough, since its Pasadena, and it a very same place, so the seats and table were small, so not the most comfortable place to. I thought the service was decent, it was clean, and nice decor. I probably wouldn't go back due to the tightness of the tables, parking and the amount of other sushi places, that would fit the needs of a bigger family. But i think people should try it for themselves. Dragon Egg approved. read more

Cozy spot no wait largest table seats 6 - more 4 tops and 2 tops. Service was friendly and fast. We got the truffle no rice roll, the sun kissed roll, kids got udon and avocado roll. Was really good - loved the salad which was a mayo ginger mix read more

Sushigah was incredible! We came here with our 3 month old baby and were accommodated so kindly by the staff. They were very helpful finding us a spot to sit and proceeded to offer wonderful service all the way through our meal. We especially enjoyed getting to meet Kino, whose kindness & efficiency were outstanding! We'll definitely be back to Sushigah :) read more

First time eating here tonight. We joined the waitlist online and were seated right away when we got here. They were busy and possibly short staffed. The new norm at almost every restaurant. It took about ten minutes for our waitress to get to our table. I felt like it was going to be a hassle to get her attention so I placed our order in one shot. I was right. We didn't see her til our food was served. Sometimes I feel bad for making a big deal about customer service but also I know thats a very important part of running a business, so writing about it will let the owners know how the customers feel.... Hope you agree with me. The food was great, no complaints there. The appetizers were served hot, the sushi rolls we chose were delicious. The 911 roll, the Hawaiian roll and the Gangnam roll. All fresh and good. They also serve udon, bulgogi, ramen, etc. The prices are reasonable, the restaurant is clean but a bit too small and odd shaped. Overall a great place to eat so I recommend it to everyone. read more

Came for an afterwork dinner with some coworkers and my cousin. I made a reservation for 6 of us, I was a little worried since it's small and cute inside but they accommodated very well! It is a Japanese Korean fusion with soups and sushi. Very delicious and flavorful. We started with drinks and a cheesey bulgogi appetizer that was very good. Sweet beef with onions topped with white cheese. We finished this before I could take a proper picture. You can see its remnants in the pics. I ordered the sushi B combo. It is a good amount of food! With drinks and an appetizer I had trouble finishing mine. The hot sake was tasty (only one size) and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal! Two of us got bento boxes and two of us got the sushi combos which came with a spicy tuna hand roll instead of a California roll which I appreciated! The other two got rolls and sashimi. The sushi was great quality and beautifully plated. I would definitely return to this establishment. read more

Big selection on rolls including tempura rolls, fresh, classic or baked rolls. Good quality and well made. I tried something different this time. I tried the coconut roll which tastes really refreshing with mango and soy paper. We also tried the jirashi which is fresh and colorful. I find it funny to see imitation crab stick on there. The hamachi collar is well done. Meat tender and not burnt! This place is small and cozy. We came at 6p on a monday and is filling up by 7p. Service is friendly and attentive. Also very clean. read more

I really can't remember what this restaurant used to be, but I'm glad SushiGah moved in! It was quite busy on a Friday night, but the 5 of us were able to take over the bar after about a 15 minutes wait.  It was a bit hard for our group to chit chat, but service was quick & friendly. And whoa, the food ! We ordered quite a few things and they were all delicious! A few items that stood out were: Shishito Peppers cooked in soy sauce & garlic, yum! Salmon skin Salad with eel sauce Sushis : Salmon, Ono, jumbo scallops, blue crab, uni, sweet shrimp Truffle Delight Roll (no rice) I think in general this restaurant is better for small groups of 4 pp or less. I only saw one table on the side where it can be sit 5-6 pp. Otherwise, the food are great here and I look forward to coming back for more Japanese-Korean fusion food! read more

The food was very yummy here! The sushi is fresh and the other dishes are very flavorful. I chose this place to try out because the menu was provided Japanese and Korean dishes. I tried both! The bulgogi with cheese was great but i wish they had kimchi to go with it. I know it's a sushi restaurant but since they have many Korean dishes, kimchi would pair great with meals and add that extra flavor. Also, whatever dressing they use for the salad, please keep using it! I would go again just to eat that salad again because the dressing was just that good! The miso soup is good, nothing out of the ordinary. I suggest grabbing the Korean fried chicken. It was crispy and tender with lots of sauce. The place is medium size and has nice decor that feels inviting. They have one restroom and it was also very clean. The waiter was prompt to take our order. As for parking, it's on a busy street so it was a bit harder to find parking. We parked at the park down the street and paid on the meter. read more

Came here with the bestie for a really late lunch on a Saturday around 3pm. There was street parking nearby so not too difficult but might be harder during a busier time. Got seated right away at the sushi bar, it's very clean and pleasant ambience. Nothing super memorable but I remember it being nice. The service was also very friendly as well. I ordered the sashimi platter and my bestie got the sushi combo and we split an order of the amaebi with the fried shrimp head which was delicious. The quality was pretty good and price was decent for the portion amount. Overall pretty good option for sushi in Pasadena if you're looking more at mid-level without the wait of a place like Sugarfish. read more

Found this place on a whim on a Monday afternoon and omg what a gem! Sushi spots are so common, and it's rare that I'm impressed by a place, but this is my new go-to spot! We had: oysters, the Mexican roll, Alaska roll, and eel nigiri. Everything was DELICIOUS!! The absolute star of the show was the eel nigiri... TO DIE FOR. Best eel I've ever had. Fatty melt-in-your-mouth with crispy edges and perfect amount of sauce. We didn't try any sashimi this time, but will definitely be back for that! Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. The place is tiny, but luckily it was pretty empty on a Monday afternoon. They did say it gets very busy on weekends during dinner. There is a parking structure right next door which was only $1 for 2 hours. Love love love this place! Worth the visit! read more

I took a large party (10 people) here this past Saturday and everything from the food to the service was phenomenal. We weren't all able to be seated together due to the boutique size of the restaurant, but they allowed us to take a 6 top & 4 top table right next to each other which worked great! The Sushi was phenomenal! Highlights were the albacore and blue fin ngiri, spicy salmon and crab cut rolls, all the specialty rolls, and the Izakaya items as well like the K-dak. Food came out fresh and quick, but paced in a way that we were not overwhelmed. Again, water was never empty and anytime you needed any assistance someone was there with a smile. This place is a gem with phenomenal fish quality, would happily dine here again! read more
