Romantic dinner, good martini – Nice decor, the the food was just average. If you are really a true sushi fan, you should not expect good sushi. But if you are one of those people who refers to california rolls as "sushi," then you may like this place. I probably would not go back again just for the food, but it's a good place to go with friends or people you want to impress.
Good Food, Good Times – I didn?t know there was a Sushi Roku in Pasadena until I saw it tucked back off of the main street. My friends and I decided to check it out. The service was great and I was pleased to see many non-sushi dishes since I am not the most adventurous. I highly recommend the Spicy Shrimp dish, it was fantastic. Will definitely go again.
Birthday Grinch – Sushi Roku is not the place to spend your birthday. Large parties aren't welcome here as the service is so slow, no one eats at the same time. The clincher is that you can't bring a birthday cake unless you want to pay an additional $2.50 per person charge for them to serve it for you. I have never heard of a restaurant doing this! I could understand if I was bringing a dessert that they make themselves. With nine people in the party, the bill was $350.00. We'll never go back and this was a regular stop for... read more
Only if it's omakase – Yes, the reviews are true. This place is very white, except for the sushi chefs, and very noisy. If you want quick service and quality sushi, sit at the bar, not the tables. Don't order any rolls. They have a tendency to fall apart before they even enter your mouth. Finally, request for omakase (everyone's great but Toyota-san is just fabulous!). Yes, omakase can be a little pricey (starts from $40 per person) but you will not be disappointed. The most recent omakase we had ranged from roe shooters, fr... read more
It's Worth It. This Sushi Is Amazing. – I don't care if it's expensive. I don't care if I have to wait to be seated. This is the best place to have sushi in Old Town, maybe all of Pasadena. The restaurant is beautiful, really "Zen." The servers are professional and freindly. Not to mention prompt, even when it is packed. If you are overwhelmed by the extensive menu just ask them for guidance, they are only to happy to assist. My husband will only eat sushi here (on the East side of town.) The matchbooks are so flipping cute.... read more
Good little place to be with friends – This is a great little place to have some sushi with friends, and family. The atmosphere is great! The sushi is okay, nothing out of the ordinary. The service is good.
So So Expensive for the food – If you like being part of the "see and be seen" crowd, Sushi Roku is for you. This place is all about where you are seated and who might be sitting next to you. The sushi is always fresh but, honestly, it's no better or worse than a dozen other sushi restaurants in the area. The prices though, off the charts. I have been here a few times and always resent the check just a little bit when it arrives. The service is generally fine but I could do without the attitude of about 60% of the customers.... read more
Amazing Dishes! – Me and my boyfriend went there for the first time and my first impression was great. The ambiance is very romantic. Everything we tried was great the and server was very knowledgeable. I asked so many questions and he could answer them all w/ good detail. We had a yellow tail sashimi appetizer plate, he had fillet mignon, I had sushi rolls and Japanese scallops sushi. I even had a sake sampler (recommended for novice sake drinkers). We shared a dessert which was really good and unique.
Fabulous Fusion Sushi Spot... – my boyfriend took me to Sushi Roku for my birthday, and it was fan-tabulous... first of all, the interior design and decor already caught ur attention. we were first served w/ our drinks. i had a fusion martini, and my bf had their house beer "Red Sun", which were both wonderful. we then had out appertizers, toro, yellowtail, and uni sashimi, and their special of the day, sashimi salad. i have to say the sashimi salad was a bit disappointing due to the tiny portion; however, the taste was deli... read more
