We visited sushigah for a quick lunch with a friend and it was a good experience. The food was good, space is casual.

There was no wait for dinner but sat at the bar since seating was limited. I ordered oysters and baked mussels to start. The oyster came with sauce that made it spicy. I liked that the baked mussels came with just the right amount of sauce. Then I picked some sushi to share. My favorite was the jumbo scallop because it was super tender and big. The Canadian clam was so big that it was sliced open to stuff rice inside. Lastly the lemon salmon roll was soft and delicious. The servers were attentive and came to add water to our cups several times. When the bill came, I saw that my order of baked mussel was over charged by $1 and oyster was over charged by $2. The server promptly updated my bill after the error was brought to his attention. Highly recommend parking at the big parking structure right next to the restaurant. read more

Food was AMAZING! We got sashimi, quality of fish was awesome, plating was fancy, price was absolutely reasonable (especially considering the quality of the fish!), service was so kind. Would go again, best sushi place I've been to in LA. read more

I don't leave reviews often but this place was pretty amazing for a local sushi restaurant the fish was incredibly fresh. I always order eel sushi and even that melted in my mouth like no other sushi restaurant I tried 2 rolls and though the description is like any other generic sushi roll restaurant, the execution was perfect which is hard to do with a roll. they somehow created their rolls in a way where it tastes unique and focused on the quality of the fish without dousing it with sauce if you genuinely like GOOD sushi come here read more

Had this amazing sushi delivered the mussels were delicious The Sushi was fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend The only thing was the delivery guy ran off before I could tip him- and I am not sure how to do it now This is a wonderful Sushi find read more

Saturday was my first time trying Sushigah. I am impressed by the fact that this restaurant has a great picture of each and every dish they offer posted to their site. They offer Korean food as well as sushi. After perusing their lengthy menu my husband and I settled on sharing an order of garlic edamame. He ordered the Bulgogi Ramen for his entree and I chose Soy Curls Bulgogi (Vegetarian). The garlic edamame was a win! If you love garlic, I highly recommend starting with this appetizer. The flavor is phenomenal and the garlic really elevates the dish. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect from my Soy Curls Bulgogi (vegetarian) as I have never had the meat version to compare it to. My husband tasted some of mine and said the flavor was spot on. I love the subtle sweetness and the texture was nice too. I really enjoyed the fact that nothing was greasy or drowned in sauce. It was just delicious flavor and the portion was large enough for 2-3 meals as it comes with miso soup & rice. My husband said his Bulgogi Ramen was flavorful with the perfect amount of spice and he would order it again. This place was a real win for us. I can't wait to try some of their other offerings! read more

We really enjoyed our Saturday lunch at Sushigah. Parking at the Old School Garage was perfect as this restaurant is located on the S/E corner nearest Raymond and Green St. We felt this new sushi spot was so well priced for the location and quality. We started with the garlic edamame and the DJ Tuna. I ordered the Bulgogi Ramen and asked that it be extra spicy. Served hot and with just the right level of kicked up spice, the Bulgogi Ramen was oh so good! Next we shared the Cucumber Special Roll with three kinds of fish and crab wrapped in cucumber ( no rice) so refreshing we wanted another. The spider roll had the perfect tempura crab within the roll. So many other items to try, we look forward to returning to Sushigah. read more

Checked out this new sushi spot in Pasadena feel a lot like an Izakaya restaurant lots of sushi,rolls and bento boxes. Decided on the combo sushi plate, lemon salmon roll and a salmon teriyaki bento box. The food was really good tasting, everything in the bento box was cooked well. I think I would definitely come back I think the prices are definitely worth the food. The service was quick and the workers were very friendly the restaurant has a nice homey vibe to it. read more

A quiet, tucked little sushi spot in old town, Sushigah provides friendly/quick service, quality fish and an overall lovely experience. Parking: It is located right next to the structure on Green St, so it was a quick walk over. We were here for a little under 2 hours which translated to $1.00 in parking. Ambiance: Quiet, peaceful and family friendly, this spot is super cute and on the smaller side. Some of the 2-person tables are definitely a little tiny, so I can see this not being super comfortable if you're a taller or bigger person. I felt a little squished at the 2 person high top. Service: Our waitress was very sweet, polite and extremely attentive Food: Overall, the quality was pretty solid. Prices are around average - not cheap but not super expensive. - Vegetable Tempura: Crunchy and fresh - classic app. - Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice: I ALWAYS order this at any sushi a lot I go to, and this one was absolutely delicious with a nice spice balance. 4 pieces total. - Oh Baby Roll: No rice roll that includes snow crab and tuna - def recommend if you're a crab lover. Fresh and packed with protein! - Gangnam Roll: A mix of spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, salmon & avocado. Solid. *Tip - use the online menu because it comes with pics of each menu item. Left a happy girl with a full tummy. Will definitely be returning! read more

Sushigah is an amazing addition to Old Town! After seeing signs about the grand opening, we finally tried it for the first time yesterday during lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't super crowded when we arrived, but after we sat down, the seats slowly started to fill up. I loved the korean-inspired design of the interior, and every seat in the restaurant gets a great amount of natural lighting since it is located on a corner lot with big windows. They promptly brought us menus and asked if we wanted any drinks. You can use a QR code to see the menu online with beautiful photos in addition to the very high quality menus they bring to the table. Most of our food came probably about 10-15 minutes after we ordered, and the sweet shrimp sushi that my bf's sister ordered came last maybe around another 15 minutes after the first group of food had arrived. I shared the K-Dak (Korean fried chicken appetizer) and Jirashi Bowl (Chirashi bowl) with my bf, while my bf's sister took salmon sushi, a handroll, and sweet shrimp sushi. The presentation of every dish was absolutely beautiful. The K-Dak was like a lighter version of Korean fried chicken--it had the same sweet chili sauce on the outside typical of most Korean fried chicken places, but the pieces tasted very light and tender like slices of white meat chicken breaded in a tempura batter. The jirashi bowl nice thick cuts of fresh fish, tamago, artificial crab, seaweed salad, masago, pickled ginger and wasabi on top of a bed of sushi rice with furikake. The soy sauce on the table is in a cute bottle and also tastes great quality. My bf's sister also enjoyed the food she ordered, so everything we got was very delicious. As a sushi restaurant, prices are not the most affordable, but I think the quality, presentation, flavor, and service are worth the money. I will definitely return to Sushigah in the future to try their other food! read more

It will be a "yes" in my book every time. Pictured is the k-dak, Gangnam roll, and spicy tuna on crispy rice which quickly became my favorites on the menu on my second visit. The Gangnam roll was particularly enjoyable, with a citrusy sauce to enhance the flavor of that salmon. As delicious as these dishes were, the real star of our meal that is not pictured, is the bulgogi ramen! Definitely a shareable portion, I like to split it with my partner so we can try a couple different options from the menu. But don't be fooled, it is no ordinary ramen. The broth is rich, the meat is tender, and the noodles...THICK. Truly I feel lucky when I find a place like this that makes me savor each bite and leaves me wanting more. I'll definitely be back, with friends! Side note: Service has been great every time! Never waited too long for the food to come out either. The inside is small, but cozy and inviting. Sometimes the table space feels small but that might just be because of the amount I order...Try this place! read more

I generally would visit a place at least 3x before I'd write a review but I've made an exception for Sushigah. I made my first visit today and enjoyed one of the best bowl of tempura udon I've ever had and can't wait to try other items off their menu. My bowl of noodle soup came out piping hot (just the way I like it) and was full of umami. I also ordered their 2-piece uni (Santa Barbara), which was fresh and creamy. This restaurant appears to be serving up Korean-Japanese fusion since they have bulgogi and bibimbap alongside sushi and udon noodle soups. Ambiance is aesthetically pleasing and service was attentive. It is located on the corner of Green St and Raymond Ave with paid parking garage next door. Another note, menu looks like they serve many vegan/vegetarian options as well. read more

Fresh fish. Good vibes, good ginger. Good sushi xxxooo omg 85 characters are you serioussssss

Everything about this place is great! The food was so fresh and the service was impeccable.

I was in Old Town for 3 days, and this was the third sushi place I visited - and it was BY FAR the BEST. FRESHEST sushi. Great service. Best atmosphere. Not pretentious. Small. Quaint. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Pros: 1. The sushi is good. Tastes fresh and the presentation is good. I like the seared truffle salmon delight roll and the ono sushi the best. 2. The sauce on the shishito peppers is amazing, and especially when you add it to a bowl of rice. Cons: 1. The rolls here are not my favorite and I can't figure out why since the sushi is very good. 2. There are not very many tables and the tables are very small - which is a problem for me because I tend to order a lot of food. read more

The restaurant is small to medium sized with an L shape. It was clean and comfortable. We were seated as soon as we walked in the night before the rose bowl. The waiter was nice and gave us recommendations when asked. We shared shishito peppers (yum!) and bulgogi ramen. I'm not usually a fan of ramen, but this was tasty. I had the veggie tempura, which was also good. I was disappointed there were no mushrooms, but there was a good variety otherwise. The 3 other people liked their sushi a lot. The only downside was them being out of mochi. read more

Personally, one of the best sushi places I've ever had, I would say it's comparable to Japan in regards to sashimi. The price of the place is very affordable and valuable, the portions are also huge. I tried the chef specifically sashimi and all the cuts given were large. Each sashimi was unique and flavorful in their own way, i was able to try sashimi I've never had before. I loved the garlic edamame, I never realized that edamame can be elevated so significantly. I would highly recommended. At first I was skeptical about a sushi place to have bulgogi bento boxes but I was curious. I thought it was amazing and tasted like it was from a Korean restaurant. I would highly recommended this restaurant for anyone in Pasadena read more

i wanna give sushi gah a 4.5/5 The food tasted super good, me and my girlfriend both got the bulgogi ramen and it was perfect. The service was slightly lacking but that was probably more due to it being busy than anything else. The ambiance was really nice and nothing to complain about. read more

First time coming to this restaurant by recommendation from a friend that goes to Classic Kickboxing gym in town, and I must say the food is fresh from their edamame salt to the Cajun baked rolls and first-class service from Gracie the server. I'm happy to finally discover a new sushi place in Old Town. Will return very soon. read more

Great find offering excellent food, good service. Highly recommend. Close to everything

I read great reviews about this place so wanted to give it a try with a coworker during lunch time. The inside is a little cramped especially when there are others waiting to be seated. We sat outside and ordered edamame and two rolls - gangnam roll and yellowtail special rolls both with soy paper! They were delicious! Service lacked a little because people didn't come out to take our order. Also, their soy sauce tasted funky. But other than that, great food! read more

While this restaurant does serve sushi, don't be afraid to eat here if you can't handle raw fish (like me!). There are plenty of non-sushi options that are extremely tasty. I got the bulgogi and it was sweet and oniony. The rice was a great palate cleanser. The staff were friendly and seemed to get along well with each other. read more

Ordered takeout dinner at Sushigah in Old Town Pasadena, and overall it was a pretty great experience! The rolls were definitely the highlight--delicious, fresh, and well-crafted. I tried a couple of their specialty rolls, and the flavors were spot on. The fish was fresh, and the sauces and ingredients complemented each other really well. However, I wasn't quite as impressed with the tempura shrimp. It lacked the light crispiness that I love about good tempura--the pieces seemed skinny, almost like frozen store bought tempura, and not as fresh as I hoped. Definitely room for improvement there. One other thing I'll also mention is the packaging. I understand takeout needs to be convenient, but they need to really work on cutting down the plastic waste. There was a lot of it, and in this day and age, more eco-friendly alternatives would go a long way toward a better experience. Despite those small issues, Sushigah is a solid spot if you're in Pasadena and craving some tasty sushi. I'll definitely be back for those rolls, just hoping for a few tweaks next time around! read more

I've been here a couple times and it's been delicious. I highly recommend the bluefin tuna, yellowtail specialty roll, shrimp tempura roll and the salmon roll. The service was great and they are kind + attentive. It can get really crowded but not too long for a table, I think my favorite time to come is on a weekday late afternoon. It is pricier but on par with most other sushi places, however the freshness of the fish and balance of flavors stand out and make it worth it. If you're looking for a more wallet friendly option, I recc the bentos! read more

I saw a great deal of wonderful reviews of sushi, and was curious since I had never been here. My friend and I went to yoga down the street and was really looking forward to a nice sushi meal. We put our names down and took a walk since there was a little bit of a wait, the store is quite small, so make sure that you, put your name down on the waiting list before you do anything else. We ordered the calamari rings, a rainbow roll, the baked scallop roll, and the spider roll between the two of us. We did eat everything and pretty proud. It was perfect amount of food, but also was very fulfilling, and we were very full and had to make sure that we finished everything, the staff was super nice and quick and we were in and out with the great experience and can't wait to go back to try their other dishes. read more

I have not actually dined in but have ordered their food for pick up plenty of times. And the reason I keep coming back because its that good. I say this because of their quality. I was a little overwhelmed with this menu at first because they have ALOT of rolls. I've only had a few of them but have yet to try them all. I've had their Super Tiger Roll, Snow Roll, Dragon Roll, Oh Baby Roll, and the Yellowtail Special and it is delicious. This restaurant is fairly still newish. They are located in Old Town Pasadena. If you find that Beyonce parking or street parking then you are one lucky cookie. There is free 90 min parking in a parking structure next to the restaurant. The restaurant itself is small. But I love that it is small. It has character. And the staff are so nice and welcoming every time I come to pick up. They are usually if not on time with their ETA for pick-up. I have yet to actually dine in. Hopefully soon on a date night :) read more

Tried this spot on a whim and was blown away by the quality of food and service. It was fresh and the price was very reasonable. I've spent much more for less... the blooming onion roll was fantastic! It sounded a little gimmicky, but the taste was anything but that. So good, give it a shot you won't be disappointed. read more

Love love love this restaurant! Great service, cute little place, amazing fish. What's not to love? This place is a gem. Everyone here, owners and servers, are friendly. Service is fast. Our order has always been correct. It's a small restaurant, so don't expect to get a table. The sushi bar is a fun place to sit (and drool). Sitting on a bar stool? Not to worry, the food is worth it. Cute decor, fun vibe. Love the art. The menus allow for both traditional flip though physical and scan a QR code to get the menu on your phone. We've tried a little bit of everything. It's all been delicious! You seriously can't go wrong here. The plating changes and is cute + creative. The fish is always fresh and flavorful. The sashimi is my favorite. I've been burned at other places with clearly frozen fish. That will not happen to you here. No ice crystals in this sashimi. The sushi dishes are also superb. You can get all the usual rolls as well as some fun ones that seem like their own twist or creation. Mango with my sushi? Yes, please. They also pay attention to flavor and texture. Want a nonsushi dish? The ramen is also delicious. I order mostly fish, though, because I can't get enough of it here. Oh, and when it is time to pay - scan the QR code on the receipt. Simple and convenient. read more

It's a fusion sushi place. The fish is good, it's better than Aikan level, not sugarfish but definitely not as bad as Kaiba. I got the uni and amaebi nigiri and yellowtail carpaccio all of which were pretty good. The amaebi didn't taste as fresh as other places but definitely not bad at all. The deep fried shrimp heads were good and crunchy... Partner ordered the sushi combo, said it wasn't the best so I can't speak for that... uni was $28, amaebi was about $20... I probably won't go out of my way for it but just wanted to try at least once given this place is new... Love the Christmas decor, good customer service. read more

Food is fresh and quality is good wish I could give it 5 stars but I can't only because I asked for a few things the waiter forgot. And I'm gonna be honest it was almost 3 stars because we couldn't get seats at the bar and that is always my go to, but they kept playing Ariana grande and that's Mr girl. So they were saved by the queen herself. read more

Found this place in our last trip to Old Town Pasadena. It's a little sushi gem and has become our lunch before we drive home to hit.

Really amazing food and atmosphere. Easy parking with the lot right next door. Try the Japanese burrito!

This is my second time here and my second time having great sushi! Ingredients are fresh and service is great. The staff is very friendly and does not rush you to order considering it's a small, intimate setting with limited seating. This is a great restaurant that displays the fusion of Japanese and Korean very well and I have yet to come back and try more food items. I highly recommend their specialty rolls like the Mango Cha Cha (pictured) and their Lemon Salmon Roll. read more

Came here a few weeks ago with my neighbors. The location is unbeatable. It's right in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. This is a Korean-owned sushi spot. That may turn off some sushi purists. I know that I try to identify whether sushi places are Japanese owned or not. If it is, sometimes it can be a clue on quality, authenticity, etc. Well, this place is a great for a few reasons. This is a family-owned place. Father and son seem to be here all the time. Wait staff is diverse, multicultural, young, and they're definitely kids that are doing a good job in serving customers. My 4-person had the following: Garlic edamame, shishito peppers, shrimp tempura, cucumber salad, sushi combo B, one order salmon sashimi, three orders of yellowtail sushi, eel and avocado roll, 3 bottles of beer and 2 small bottles of sake. In short, all good! The father and son are loveable. The young waitstaff are driven. It's all here in a perfect location in Old Town. Won't break the bank like other sushi spots around here either. If you're concerned about this not being a "real" sushi place due to the Korean ownership... Get over it. Because the food and service are fantastic! read more
