The quality of food is just OK, the price is a bit above average. Especially, the hot tea is just like water and they charge you $2.95. The services are not that good and you have to keep asking for services while waiter and waitresses are wandering around and they don't see you waving them for services. I did not visit this place for the past 10 months, I went again and my experience was the same. We found another ridiculous issue again. They preset 18% tip on the total tips for a table of 5 people and dare to ask for an additional 2%, 3%, 5%, 7% or no tips while asking for your signature on their handheld credit card machine. Usually, the preset tips is for 6 or 8 more people in other restaurant. I came home and found out that the total tips charged to me is 20%, not 18% as stated on the receipt, that including the total food price and Sales Tax. I don't understand why we need to pay any tip on the Sales Tax which is a Trust Fund to be remitted to the government. Please see the attached receipt which I blocked my personal info on the attached receipt. This is a total rip off, be very careful !!!!

Very nice staff. Attentive and fast service. It is a popular spot, and can build a pretty significant wait. I would recommend coming early, and getting food to go! It’s a larger restaurant. Pretty extensive East Asian cuisine menu. Sushi was solid, but not the tastiest/top tier quality, but great for the price, and serving sizes were awesome. Teriyaki beef was slightly above average. Beef quality was a little low, but the grilled onions were good. Plenty of signature/specialty rolls. Complimentary miso soup. Parking lot out front.

This is a decent place for a relaxing meal. They have a good variety of items for people to order. The food we ordered came pretty quickly. The food tastes good. My overall rating actually should be between 3 to 4 stars.

This is one of my all time favorite sushi spots for both dining in and take out...

Everything was great; we were seated promptly, service was good, food was delicious😋 The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars was the teriyaki beef; the flavor was good, but the texture of the meat was "off". Almost felt like it's was not real meat😳

What else can I say? Good food. Reasonable prices. Great service. The trifecta is what I experienced here and, even though this is out of my way, it was worth the travel time. My bento box lunch included succulent teriyaki chicken, fresh-tasting California roll, salad, miso soup, and crispy Tempura, all of which was good for under $20 and served within 10 minutes of ordering. I will be back to try more soon.

Kabuki is still my favorite, but we go here from time to time. I'm still trying new things here and hope to find my favorites like I have at Kabuki. Don't get me wrong, great sushi here, too. There is plenty of seating, and the food comes out quick. Everything is always spot on, just as described.

Depending on when you go, getting a table can be difficult. The whole party needs to be there, this is noted, but for some reason, people don't get this policy. Parking can be challenging since it shares the lot with a gym and a bowling alley. Service is quick and fast once you are seated and ordered. Getting your name on the list can be frustrating since patrons don't seem to understand the concept of lines and just walk up to the hostess when others are waiting to add their names to the wait list.

All items were fresh and tasty. We had the diner roll, the crunch roll, the crab roll and other items. The tempura was also nice and the miso soup was complimentary. We had a great time enjoying the food and our conversation. The service was quick but not too friendly, just ok service.

Seriously good fresh sushi . It was a family dinner treat . The presentation was beautiful. A bit loud and lively - slightly feeling crowded on a Friday night though - would prefer going on a quieter night to really enjoy the meal and to be able to have conversations. On site Parking available too.

We needed to go back to have their fresh sushi and sashimi and nicely prepared bentos. The sashimi deluxe, spider roll and uni are my family’s go to. We tried several appetizers today. The spicy tuna on crispy rice, fried soft shell crab, shrimp and mix tempura are delicious. The takoyaki with octopus is underwhelming. Service was excellent despite the peak hour.

My favorite Japanese food ever! Lunch special with 2 item choice is AWESOME! The teriyaki chicken is delicious with a lot of chicken the only thing is I would order the teriyaki on the side they tend to put it on pretty heavy and it's very sweet I recommend that you try for dessert the fried ice cream for $4.95 it can feed easily three people and is absolutely delicious!

Great sushi and miso soup and perfect selection of food. Very great place to eat

Ichima is my family's go to Sushi restaurant for the past 14 years. Have seen alot of new employees, but all are very friendly. The cost have gone up slightly, but we love to support them. With the pendamic, I'm sure all restaurants have struggled. If you L❤ve Sushi 🍣 😋 😍, give Ichima a try.

This is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Pasadena. They have many sushi offerings and their bento boxes are huge. Servers are friendly and fast.

I don't usually have to wait long for a table when I come on a weekday for lunch. There is a bit of a wait during dinner hours. Food, price and service are decent. Miso soup is free and goes great with their Sweet Shrimp sushi.

Waiter was friendly and patient. Food was excellent I had the dragon roll (highly suggest) and a salmon box.. I didn't eat any of the raw salmon but I had to get a pic, the rest of the table thoroughly enjoyed.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Quality of sushi is amazing! Would def come back! AMBIANCE: Casual. Noise level is average. Placement of the hanging lights were a bit low (my dad hit his head on them twice while getting in the booth, may be best to consider hanging them higher?). DRESS CODE: Casual MENU OPTIONS: great selection of sushi, rolls, salads, and bento boxes and other cooked food (for non-sushi lovers) SERVICE: Service was just ok. They bring edamame for the table, but for a table of 6, only brought one. When we asked for another, they said it's one one per table (whether you're a party of 2 or a party of 12...). Logically, that doesn't make sense, but ok... PRICE: Really depends on how hungry you are. But the price is reasonable for the quality. PARKING: Open lot, next to Bowlero and back of Ralphs. Food: 5/5 stars Service: 3.5/5 stars Venue: 4/5

(7/8/2023) Service was excellent and friendly that always helping us to refill our drinks. For the food, Chirashi Bowl was good because sashimi was fresh. Also, Cheese Katsu Curry was really big portion, and Katsu was delicious as well. Lobster Roll was my coworkers favorite because it was delicious, and it was worth the price. I recommended Saba and Salmon Belly Sushi because it was fresh, and these Nigiri made my mouth water. Overall, Coworkers wanted to come back here again, and this place was one of my sushi list in my opinion.

One of the best spots for Sashimi around! The fish and cuts are great! Nice ambience pretty quiet. Been here 2times and both were great times!
