Sushi

1. Yoshida

I was very excited to try this place after reading some of the yelp reviews. Maybe a little too excited...my expectations were set high and they were not met at my first visit. The sushi was okay...

2. Matsuri

Neighborhood: Pasadena

Three and a half stars.  One of the better sushi restaurants in Pasadena, which is really not saying much where there is a lack of decent ones in the area.  Based on the other reviews, we decided...

3. The Sushi

The best sushi I have ever had, and I have had a ton.  Don't expect strip-mall-sushi rolls. Fresh sea creatures on balls of rice. Simplicity.  Awkward teenage-daughter service; fishy smelling water...

4. Osaka Ya Restaurant

3. Sushi Roku

Neighborhood: Pasadena

sushi dishes.  The drinks? You can go traditional with sake and beer, or try an "Asian-inspired" cocktail.  Note: The Pear "Martini" was what my boyfriend called a dangerous drink --so mild and sweet...

4. Ami Japanese

Neighborhood: Pasadena

Frozen sake!  Perfect for a nice hot day.  Came here after debating about what my GF and I wanted to eat.  We sat at the sushi bar and the chefs really hooked us up.  They gave us some mackerel...

5. Japon Bistro

Neighborhood: Pasadena

reasonable, especially the so-called omakase.  I was really surprised about the extensive sake menu, levels above what I'd expect here, and a little bit pricey.  Me and one of my friends shared some sushi...
