Reviews for Sushi Roku in Pasadena, CA
This is your americanized (fast) japanese restaurant. The restaurant has a great vibe, and a lovely seating arrangement. The... water feature in the middle is really neat, but it doesn't detract from the lack of sushi on the menu. It is missing quite a fewstaples like tamago. Any time i see Japanese wagyu on a menu, I order it. Unfortunately, the wagyu sushi on the menu tasted likeanything but... this restaurant would benefit from deciding if it wants to be an izakaya or a sushi house... they miss the markon both at the moment. There are other options within a block or 2 that i would recommend instead. Read more
A nice spot in Pasadena for sushi. We had to try the $75 per person feast (already a lot of food) plus some other dishes like... the ribeye asparagus and fluke kumquat (awesome dishes). Atmosphere is great for dating. Read more
Server was not attentive. Would have appreciated not spending $10 a bottle for water, that's honestly more tacky than just... serving filtered water. Food service was slow and food was average. Ambiance was not relaxing. Very noisy and hard to relaxafter a long week on a Friday night. Very overpriced. Cheaper restaurants offer a better experience. Read more
Great sushi, fast service, and a beautiful restaurant. We had two rolls, one sashimi, and the seabass robata. All of it was... fresh and delicious. We will be back. Read more
Menu is different from other Sushi Roku's. They're missing the shorts ribs they have in other Sushi Roku's.
Amazing sushi, great service, wonderful location. The experience was as good as it gets at a quality sushi place. I have tried... all of the speciality rolls and have to say that all of them are very good. My least favorite had to be the crab handroll,however. Cocktails were great, but interested to try the sake next time. You cannot go wrong with the fresh sushi rolls and thespecialty rolls. The appetizers are also very good. Big fan of the truffle edamame. That was great. Desert was a solid 4/5.Decent, but not the best. Read more
I would say the fresh sushi were great and everything else were mediocre. The service is great too. I would recommend if you're... here for a special occasion or for fresh sushi. Items for the kitchen are not great. Read more
Excellent, authentic, and true Japanese-prepared cuisine. Our server was genuine and knowledgeable, wish I got her name. We were... a party of five and it was our son's birthday and we just came from Burke Williams spa where we had a great massage. We got toRoku about 2 pm and got a table right away. We will definitely return! Read more
