SushiStop is my go-to place for sushi take-out. I love their SushiStop originals, including the Dynamite Bay Scallop and Popcorn Shrimp. The Crunchy Rice and/or Gyoza make for great appetizers. My order has always been ready on time, and quick parking has been easy. read more

Sushi stop is a restaurant nestled in Pasadena alongside the Colorado blvd strip. A plethora of shopping and numerous restaurants all around to choose from. My friend and I had just finished ice skating and nothing much more was open. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. The restaurant is small and not very many people were inside. There wasn't much of a wait as they too would be closing soon. My friend ordered a few different sushi's; I on the other hand ordered a seaweed salad, miso soup, and matcha ice cream--which I'm sure the ice cream was not vegan but it was my cheat day and that was my little cheat. My friend wasn't super impressed with the sushi but I enjoyed my order especially the seaweed salad, nom nom nom. It was convenient and satisfying.

You know I really wanted to like this place. I came once before and got the lunch special. I work in the area and was so excited to show my coworkers this new place with a great deal. I tried placing order online however I didn't see the lunch special which prompted me to call the establishment. The young lady took my order over the phone and told me to come in 15 mins. 20 mins later, I show up and the server says she never put in my order because they don't take orders over the phone. The server explained that he would have my food done fast. Here I am waiting 15-20 still waiting for my food. Such a waste of time. I came on my lunch and basically spent the whole time waiting which is why I called to place the order. Very disappointed in this establishment. read more

First time trying by Post-mates, everything was delicious. Price and portion wise I think it's fair. I think I just found a new sushi spot. The dragon roll and bake salmon roll was terrific. read more

Sushi stop has been a favourite of my family for some time now, and we always come back due to the inexpensive prices and the good quality of food. We love ordering the sashimi appetisers (in the pictures) and they are super delicious, good fish and very balanced dish overall. In addition, we usually get nigiri and maki, and the great value makes Sushi Stop a place we keep returning to. read more

The food was amazing here compared to most expensive places. The service was pretty good, didn't have to wait too long. The atmosphere itself was pretty nice just a bit small in some areas. If you want something budget but also pretty good I recommend. read more

The sushi here is affordable and quality matches what you pay for. But be careful of ordering too much just because it's cheap. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and parked at the nearby garage. The garage is free for the first 90 mins, but it gets full very quick on weekends and peak times. There is also street parking very close by. I was seated right away when I arrived. I ordered 3 plates initially, and then continued ordering more as I ate. The sushi didn't take too long to come out; it was definitely good for the price! The shrimp tempura roll was my favorite. The bill ended up being about $30 for two people and we were full af. I definitely will be coming here again for my next quick and cheap sushi fix! read more

Probably THE worst service I have ever encountered. There hasn't been a time that I come here and actually received AT LEAST a decent service. Staffs are extremely rude, there instances where witness them shouting and being rude to other delivery drivers and customers. Seems like they don't even want to be there in the first place. We ordered on ChowNow at 7PM. Came in to pick up the order at 7:46PM the server told me it'll be ready in 10-15 minutes. We waited and came back to check on our order and one of the guys told me that he'll go check my order and then he disappeared... literally no where to be found for 5 minutes. I end up asking another server just for him to finally tell us they haven't even start our order because of all the excuses they came up with, and told me that it'll be ready in another 10-15 minutes. 20 minutes later, my girlfriend went in to pick up the food and guess what? He told her it'll take another 15-20 minutes. The store is half empty and he clearly look high and clueless. Absolutely wasted my time. We waited over an hour for a small order. I would definitely give 0 star if I could. read more

It was bad. Like really, really REALLY bad. I've had better sushi from grocery stores. It wasn't even edible. I gave it to my dog. He refused to eat one roll but did eat the rest, so essentially I literally threw away $50 worth of sushi. read more

Dinner with friends on a weekend. No wait and we were seated quickly. Menu had a selection of rolls, nigiri, rice bowls, udon bowls, etc all for good prices. Everything was around the $4-5 range. We tried the cooked rolls (4 pieces each). The scallop, baked salmon, and popcorn shrimp roll. Out of those, the baked salmon was the best. All of them had a lot of mayo though so stay away if you're not a fan. I had the tempura udon bowl which was decent and cheap. Nothing special but better than I expected it would be. The truffle salmon hand roll was a favorite for us and probably the only thing I'd consider getting again. Overall, average sushi but prices were good! read more

I just ordered vegetarian Sushi from here on Uber Eats and was very disappointed that it didn't come with ginger.

Baked items cold Crispy rice not good and I asked for chopsticks and sauce. They never provided. Even with temperatures outside 100 degrees the hot food was cold. Bad choice never again read more

They don't honor their promotions on food apps (i.e Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc). And you know how much it is a pain to try to find parking in that area just to pick up your order only to find out that half the order is missing?? I can't even imagine ordering delivery through this place to have the same scenario play out.. Then attempting to call them for a resolution to my order issue was a joke...They continued to send me to voicemail. It just all adds up to the frustration. Heed the warnings of other reviewers, they don't seem to care to bring in or keep their customers on an honest basis. read more

Everything was fresh and tasty. My new favorite sushi spot was very busy when I went but the wait for 2 flew by .Will be back for lunch

Always a long line waiting outside. Food sometime takes long for to go orders too.. merp.. but it's my moms fave sushi place since it's so affordable. I've been going to sushistop since I was in college.. rip.. that's a long time ago.. when the price of each plate was like $2.75. Lol Anyways, still affordable ish, still yummy ish.. will definitely continue to patronize this restaurant. Free 90 minutes parking in parking structure. read more

Always in search of a good quality local sushi place reasonably priced. A great recommendation from a friend. The staff was nice but needs to be a little more attentive. It was a double date with muy good friends. About an average of $25 a person. We ordered 3 appetizers, 2 miso soups, 5 rolls, 2 specialty rolls, 1 sashimi dish, 3 desserts and 2 large Sapporo with a cold sake. All in all this place is a win for me. I recommend this place for small party's only or a date out for 2. Also located downtown Pasadena so are close to other entertainment like a bar or movies. read more

They do not close at 11:30 PM on Friday's and Saturday's. Me and my girlfriend decided to drive all the way from San Pedro after a long day from Catalina Island to try this sushi place I live nearby only to be shooed away and verbally harassed by one of the staff members for believing they close later. What the actual f*ck??? Your website and Yelp page specifically say that you close at 11:30PM yet we're the crazy ones?? As we walked in we were greeted by an older Japanese man who waved his arms at us telling us "go away we're closed." I respond back saying, "I thought you closed at 11:30?" (because that's what the site says?!) only for him to respond "Who told you that? You gotta be crazy to think I'd work that long." He continued to mutter a bunch of other obscenities at us and before I could even say anything in response, he ran off to the back of the restaurant. The only thing that I was crazy about in this situation was ever thinking that coming to this restaurant was a good idea. Sushistop Pasadena, your staff ruined our night and made us feel like terrible human beings when all we wanted was to try your food searching for places that were open late. You will never see business from myself, my family and my friends ever again if you continue to treat customers like this for telling you information that they saw on YOUR OWN WEBSITE. All of this could have been avoided if your team fixed its hours online or trained it's staff in customer service 101, but no, you resort to name calling and rudeness. Only if that man is fired will I even think of giving this place a chance again. We arrived around 10:30PM on 8/13/2021 if anyone knows who that person working is. Susan L., I see you responding to a lot of the reviews here. I really hope you take mine into full consideration and do something about this instead of offer me a copy and pasted response for me and my girlfriend's troubles. Thank you. read more

SushiStop Pasadena - I guess that doesn't say 11:30PM on Friday! I must be crazy - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've ordered from here multiple times, but I've found that they're not helpful when it comes to fixing issues with orders. For instance, when I noticed my Uber order was incorrect, I called them right away, but they weren't willing to assist. They also consistently forget to include necessary sauces in the bag. If you're not picking up your order yourself, it's almost certain that the sauce for my tempura will be missing. After today's experience, I'll definitely be looking for another place to order from, especially since I order twice a week. read more

I should of known that this place was too good to be true from the prices. I was shocked at the quantity of food I received for just under $50 for two. Unfortunately, the quality was not up to part. I've been in the ladies bathroom for the last hour . read more

The one star isn't for the food, that was really good but unfortunately the service was horrible I've been here multiple times and I convinced my bf to go and try it since he was craving sushi and he ordered a plate of curry which never came and when we asked the waiter about it she went to "check" and had forget about us she never came and asked us if we needed anything or if we got all our food I had asked for a side of Siracha and that came like 10 min after I had finished all my sushi I was going to take the curry to go but it was still taking forever and I had to leave so I told the waiters to cancel it and she got upset about that she snatched up the receipt and when I went up to pay she slammed down the new receipt we had been there for almost an hour and we weren't the only ones not being taken care of read more

Came in for a party of 2. Put down my name and asked the lady if the estimated wait time will be about 20 minutes? She said "uh more like 30-40 minutes." But we still decided to put a timer on our phone and come back in 20 mins, which we did. However, they said "sorry we called your name already." HUUUUHHH?? "So put ur name down again, and pay attention to when we call ur name." Technically we were right about the 20 minutes wait time...but we just ended up putting our name down again and waited 30 minutes. The service is so bad here. I don't think this place deserves to be in Pasadena....the food is whatever. Save your money and try another sushi place. Aikan Sushi (all you can eat) is BOMB and you actually get what you pay for! Good food at aikan for the price. Over here the portions are so small and it's definitely not worth it. MEAN STAFF, especially the old asian man. He just throws everything in front of your face and rolls his head. I guess the work environment is really toxic because the young girls also roll their eyes when other tables ask them for ginger. I understand it's really tiring working in the food industry, but if you truly don't enjoy it, leave. Give the opportunity for someone else to work. Overall staffs here are horrible. read more

This sushi restaurant is pretty decent for its price. Rolls are around $5-6 sometimes and also depends on which type of fish you get. As for sushi, they are around $2-4 each place too. So, it just depends on what you get for the sushi. I normally order edamame, miso soup, baked salmon, and a salmon hand roll. I mean they're pretty average for the price you're paying for. Nothing too extreme. They also include curry bowls and udon noodle soup. Overall, I would come here for the price but as for sushi wise, it's decent enough in wanting to eat here again. read more

This place is not bad. I've been coming here since high school and I come every time I'm craving some nice and quick sushi. The prices are decent, not too cheap but a little more on the expensive side. I usually get their dynamite scallop and dynamite salmon. The peppered tuna is AMAZING, really juicy and flavorful. There are a decent amount of tables available, but the shop is not too big so I tend to go with 2-4 people max. Pasadena is not too close to my house so I don't come here too often, but it's always a nice place when I do come. It also gets more crowded on the weekends at night so you'll have to wait a little. My only complaint is actually that their disposable chopsticks are pretty bad quality and look like they would give you a million splinters and they also start flurrying up with wood shavings if you rub them too much. read more

SushiStop Pasadena - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

The key here is to order certain kinds of nigiri. Some of them, like the seared salmon and aburi trio were surprisingly good. But the rest (hand rolls/regular rolls) were not that great to me. The quality difference was big. But for a small spot, I think this will do the trick for a quick and affordable sushi fix. Polite service but they just took the curry udon off our order and didn't give it to us as it was close to closing even though we ordered it before the kitchen closed with our other stuff. It did seem quite busy towards closing though. read more

I work near by and my co-worker and I were looking for a new spot to visit for lunch. We arrived shortly after they had opened and were seated quickly. Our server was very kind and handmade chopsticks my co-worker could use as she struggles without the piece that makes it easy to use. As for the food, I wasn't impressed with the choices of rolls and found the menu to be very limited. I ended up ordering the salmon truffle handroll, Yuzu Albacore, and the Lemon Salmon roll. I like rolls that aren't just a piece of fish on top of a California roll. I wasn't impressed with the truffle in the handroll, but was still decent. My favorite was the lemon salmon roll as each piece was topped with a piece of lemon. It was amazing. Other than that, I'd likely not return but it is good for people who are starting out with sushi and like different forms of a California roll. read more

This is the fourth time I've had more than 2 items on my list missing in a row. Love the sushi but this place doesn't accept phone calls and they do nothing for customer satisfaction or to fix mistakes. Grubhub will refund me a fraction of the items missing but the price does not make going through this problem every time worth it. Very disappointed, at least the chefs do something right here. Seriously upset, I tried very hard not to leave a bad review because I love this place but enough is enough. Update: Adding a star when my order has no missing items. Very delicious, thank you! read more

Food is decent comparing to the prices (salmon was not too fresh but the overall taste was acceptable). However, customer service needs to be upgraded. Staffs were so unfriendly and ignorant. In fact, the waitress only checked on all the customers that she was familiar with and completely forgot me. When I asked if I could sit at a bigger table, she didnt say anything just signed and pointed at a bigger one. Come to this place only if need a quick lunch and dont care much about experience or anything like that! read more

SushiStop Pasadena - baked (f044) Dynamite Bay Scallop Roll, (b212) Salmon Sampler Sushi, (c031) Salmon Truffle Hand Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

Back when I worked in West LA, I used to frequent the SushiStop (90025) there. The food and staff were excellent. Therefore, I was hoping it would be the same for here and possibly, incorporate this place onto my Old Town Pasadena sushi rotation, sadly no... Parking: 90mins free parking in any of the public parking lots. Upon entrance, I was greeted by the hostess and was seated a few minutes later (she was helping a customer place a to-go order). Once I was seated with my menu and ordering slip, I was immediately greeted by my main server with iced water. Upon reviewing the menu, honestly, I found nothing really appealing... Price: $3.50, unless otherwise marked... Already, nothing in the picture menu really grabbed my attention. The prices were expensive, followed by the portion size (we're talking bite sizes here). I ordered the following: (First three items are $3.50 each): Cucumber Salad: Topped with a carrot slice and sesame sprinkled on top. I actually liked this item. The thinly sliced cucumbers were generous, sweet, refreshing and crunchy. So far, so good... Baked Salmon Roll: Tiny.Bite.Size.Pieces! The pieces was decent, but the rice kept sticking to the place. At that moment, I wished I had my wand to wave the word "Engorgio," lol! Dynamite Roll: Again, Tiny.Bite.Size.Pieces! The baked scallop underneath was generous, but really, had no flavor to it. Without the dynamite sauce as its saving grace, the scallops and California roll underneath would've tasted so mediocre. $4.50 Crunchy Salmon Roll: RIP-Off! There was nothing crunchy about this roll other than the sprinkled panko flakes. The salmon or roll wasnt even fried. Not worth the extra $1! Service: Staffers were friendly and attentive. However, my main server mixed up one of the plates that I didn't order, which prompted me to question and request back my ordering slip to review what I got. Thankfully, I rectified the situation to prevent from being charged. He was apologetic about it, but after that mix up, it ruined the mood for me. It's one thing to be fast, but almost getting charged for something you didn't order, not cool... Ambience and Decor: Spacious and chilled space when it's not crowded. Overall, once was enough. read more

My friend first introduced me to the one in Hollywood for its cheap but yummy udon so when I found out there was one in Pasadena where my man lives, I of course had to put it on my list to check out. With the rainy days recently in LA my udon cravings amplified but also having just gotten through Cyber Monday/week, my wallet was telling me to chill. Thus it was finally the perfect time to check out SushiStop where items are cheap but still flavorful. We came in the last hour before closing and were easily seated. Everyone who helped us was super sweet and food came out quickly. Onto the food - tempura udon is only like $3.75!!!! Okay you won't get a shrimp tempura the size of your face but you still get a good shrimp tempura and some tempura veggies which feels light but just enough to fill you. The soup is good quality and like I said, for the price it's spot on. I ordered their SushiStop original of the spicy tuna tempura rolls which was fascinating, and asked for more eel sauce of which they gave me plenty. I liked it and like I said, don't expect Jiro level sushi but you can't beat these prices and nothing tastes old or bad. I actually kind of like getting smaller portions (this one came in 4) for smaller prices because then I can mix and match. My companion also liked his food. Also for you holiday fiends - they currently are playing all the holiday hits which sets a nice mood. If you're wondering about parking - yes it is on that part of Colorado in Old Town that can get crazy. BUT there's a public parking lot just around the corner with 90 minutes free before 10pm (and a $5 flat rate after). Easy in, easy out. Bonus - you can follow up your meal with Wanderlust ice cream which is right across the street and exactly what we did. read more

Garbage, don't waste your time and money. The rolls are the size of quarters and the sashimi is the thickness of quarters.

SushiStop is definitely one of the affordable sushi restaurants out there. One of the reason being is that most of the special rolls come in 4-5 pieces, and the basic rolls coming with 8 pieces. The rolls are a little smaller however, as they reduced their portion sizes from back then. Not only that, but they also rose the prices and changed the menu up since a few months ago. It's still delicious and amazing, I just wished the portion sizes and prices would've stayed the same as my last visits a few months ago. One of my recommendations for a specialty roll would be the baked salmon roll or the "dynamite" roll. If you're more of a hand roll person, the salmon truffle is a must try. As for sashimi, the peppered tuna is amazing. All in all, it's a nice small sushi spot for a quick bite but nothin special. read more
