Great ambience! Better than average at $$$. – The ambience is great. Stick to some of the specials and special sashimi dishes. The traditional sushi is average with prices 30-50% higher. If you want great traditional sushi go somewhere else, if you want creative items with a nice date atmosphere with money no object, then Roku is recommended.
Great Valentine's Day Dinner – My wife and I had reservations this Valentine's Day for dinner at this restaurant. Very impressed with the freshness of their sushi. Their entrees were very tasty and satisfying. Our server was friendly and patiently explained several dishes to us. Service was prompt and attentive to our needs. Empty glasses and bowls didn't linger more than a couple of minutes before someone took them away or re-filled them. The wait for our food was a bit a long, but it might be because it was Valentine's Day... read more
Do You Love Sushi? – Simply stated: There are many sushi restaurants in Pasadena. How do they all stay in business? Bar none, Sushi Roku serves the freshest most innovative sushi in town. I love the interior, it is sleek and cool and beautiful all at once. The prices are a little high, but all good sushi seems to be somewhat pricey. I do not care about that at all if the dinner is a memorable one. Sushi Roku has yet to let me down. I love going with a group. It is also a great place for parents- if raw fish turn them off, st... read more
Trendy sushi place. – The regular sushi is good, the specialties sushi is better and more creative. Even the rib-eye steak is very tasty and juicy. The only drawback is the service. Why? My server are very aggressive in asking me for drink orders. They are more attentive if I order and keep ordering more drinks!!! Surely, Sushi Roku make a lot of profit in their drinks... but that shouldn't be the only way to be attentive to your customer. I don't drink that much, but I do eat the best and a lot of it. My sushi food bill alo... read more
simply amazing – I just went here for a special occasion and I can't even begin to describe how wonderful everything was. The food was delicious (we tried almost every roll on the menu as well as tempura and plain sushi) and the service was amazing. Our waiter was very friendly and patient (as we had a large group) and it was one of those places where you drink gets refilled and old plates get taken away without you even noticing. The chefs were all extremely friendly as well. This place is at the top of my list.
Super Ichiban, Foo Foo, Freshest Excellent! – When a restaurant does several things right, somebody will usually attack the ambience, and try to down play the WHOLE experience as being "foo foo", "all hype", "trendy", "over priced", etc, etc, but I think if your looking for value than you'll love this place because quality is something thats being over shadowed by the millions of restaurants sprouting up everywhere delivering the cheapest and the biggest kind of california, poki, etc. rolls. Sushi Roku offers a great balance... read more
Why so successful?? – I don't understand how Roku's managed to crop up all over L.A. I was drawn by the location and decor but the food is completely lackluster. Had the lamb, which was delicious, but the sushi was not fresh-that's just scary!! I've had better teriyaki at Yoshinoya. The service is slow and indifferent-again, have had better at fast food joints. If you're looking for ambience and not good food or a good time-save your money and visit a museum.
Very Impressive – The food was great (pretty Americanized) and we didn't have to wait at all, very fresh seafoods and the filet mignon was the tenderest I ever had in America. All in all, it was very delicious and I will definitely be visiting Sushi Roku in the very immediate future. However, I wouldn't put Sushi Roku at the top of my list with regard to the setting and environment. Pretty small and squishy (we were lucky to get a private bordered off area, but still), and quite excessively loud with very limited lighting. T... read more
Best on Pasadena – Anyone who doesn't consider this the best sushi in town does not understand Asian cuisine. The fish is the freshest and highest quality I've had. The servers are always friendly and without attitude. Great to go to for birthdays and celebrations. We had a table of 15 and sat in a private section in back. Those at our table that didn't have sushi, ate steak which they said was as good as the local steakhouses. thanks again Sushi Roku...you rock.
