Top Notch Sushi. The Best PERIOD. – The sushi was excellent. Unique rolls that i fell in love with instantly! The service was superb and the atmosphere was welcoming. Ive gone to many sushi places, about 10-15, and this by far tops all!!! This place knows their stuff. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
TOUGH PLACE TO FIND BUT AWESOME SUSHI AND AMAZING SAKI – While I have found the service to be spotty at peak times, overall, this is a highly recommended japanese restaurant. The sushi is fresh, and the presentation not pretentious. Best crunch roll I've ever had was prepared here. Lunch specials are inexpensive, quality, and fast. But if you have time to spare, sit at the bar, and the chefs will prepare whatever you like. If you like saki, then this is your place. The selection is wonderful, with new ones arriving all the t... read more
Great Sushi! – We eat out at least 7 times a week. And we love sushi! It is hard to beat Japon Bistro. The restaurant is very inviting, the staff is friendly and attentive and the food is great. The fish is very fresh and they often have choices that are to find in other well-know sushi bars. Also, they have the best sake selection east of Santa Monica!
great quality fish! – It's a enjoyable small Jap restauarnt with good quality fish! price is reasonable and food is enjoyable! recommended!
Slow service – Very slow service. We need to wait long time for food and even the bill. Food is just ok, nothing special bout it
sushi only skin deep – the ambiance of the restaurant is nice and romantic but that's about it at this sushi restaurant. the fish was of average quality, so if you can forego the decor of a sushi bar i would go to a different place to get the same quality of fish for much better prices. plus the sushi/sashimi variety is limited (trust me i've worked in the sushi business). the worst part of my dining experience was the service. the staff couldn't even communicate with each other correctly and the server argued with us and ba... read more
Business response:
Thank you for the compliments on the interior; however, I do beg to differ with your opinion of the quality of our fish. We were rated in the top 10 of sushi restaurants in all of LA. We also get our fish from the same markets as the "famous, celebrity status" restaurants. Being in the biz, it does not surprise me that you are making these prejudicial statements. We pride ourselves on our customer service - I do not know what happened that night, however I do invite you back again and will make amends for your service experi... read more
She-she Sushi – Suprisingly, there were only 3 tables occupied when we walked in on a Saturday night in central Pasadena. The little fountain and green tea colored walls were calming and inviting, but immediately I was wondering about the "yet affordable" claim. A Philidelphia roll was $12 and tea, $1 (normally complementary). My Japon roll was five pieces the size of teacup saucers and was a grand old, tasty mess. The drink menu was mainly exotic saki, and my selection proved to be quite good - a highlight. My boyfriend ord... read more
Great food and choice of atmosphere – When it comes to the food and sake, it easily ranks with the best. But the atmosphere is probably unmatched. It seems to always be busy. Whether its a subdued tuesday evening or the upbeat live entertainment on thursdays and fridays, this place has a mood for you. Just pick your day. Sometimes I want to just chill and chat with friends and other times I just want to listen to the music. I have a choice, and in either case the food is always great! Come on different days and find what sui... read more
