If you like Sushi... No! I mean really like Sushi, then this place isn't no big deal unless you are trying to impress a girl that doesn't know any better. Make sure she glances at the check, she might ...you know. Anyway, the food might look pretty but it's not that great. Pros: the place look cool Cons: the food didn't taste good, and was very very slim

I have heard this place is really good, but I haven't actually been there personally. I hope to go some day and enjoy all the food people speak so highly of.

The lounge area is very nice but the service there is terrible. I went with my boyfriend and the waitresses are always dressed provocatively. This last time I was there the girl kept bending over in front of him showing her cleavage. Every time she would come to our table she would bend over and do this. The other girl was wearing a dress so short that I could see things I did not want to see as she was cleaning the tables. This is very uncomfortable as I am trying to have dinner with my boyfriend. Pros: very good area Cons: bad service

Definitely has the look to impress- the dishes are not bad either but a little on the expensive side. The location of this restaurant is obviously superb and the interior design is beautiful. Great for large groups or couples- service can be a bit unpredictable but some very nice dishes are on offer.

I've been here a few times and really like the music they play. Their food is good but not the best if you want fresh sushi or sashimi. A little over priced considering their sushi is not excellent. Stick with the fusion dishes and you will not go wrong.

I've gone to Sushi Roku in Pasadena several times( although I urged my party to go elsewhere, I optimistically gave the place a chance again and again-but NO MORE)..and every time it is such a disappointment. The service is so pretentious as if the waiters were to get a beating if the didn't give me their "forced" smiles and I felt I was up against an aggressive car salesman than a waiter. The sushi has consistently been horrible. On this particular night I came to see why. Able to understand Japanese I overheard a manager speaking to one of the sushi chefs about the Toro (the most expensive fish) thawing out, and having to sell the older fish that day! I was going to speak up to that manager but he was so rude to begin with, I opted to share the message on this site instead. If I am going to get thawed out fish I'd rather go support a small mom and pop establishment where I will get more appreciation and sincerity. Pros: nice interior design Cons: WORST SUSHI for top $

Me and my girlfriend decided to go out to dinner. We decided to go to our casual sushi place ( WOKANO ) Pasadena. We been there several times before. It was my birthday, I kind of wanted to stay home, busy work week. But my girlfriend convinced me. That?s why I wanted to go somewhere casual. We got seated ,ordered our drinks. Showed our I.D. The waiter comes back to us, stated that my girlfriends I.D. is fake. I asked to speak to the Manager. The Manager comes and informs us that they can check if its real or not. I told her you should of checked it before hand. After we were wrongly accused, we decided to take our business elsewhere. I?ve been working in the hospitality Industry for 15 years. As a Guest Service Agent and Concierge. Never have I been treated in such a manner. I was shocked that they would let there patrons get up and leave with no apology. Thinking that are night was ruined. I remembered that Sushi Roku has a location in Pasadena. When I worked in West L.A . I use to send them a lot of business. Cause the luxury hotel I worked for was just one block away. Once we got to sushi Roku. I explained to the hostess. We did not have a reservation. She had us wait a couple minutes, but we were seated promptly. I was impressed from the time I walked in. To signing the 30% percent gratuity. The waiter was patient with us ( NEW CUSTOMERS). The service was impeccable, the food well presented and delicious. The ambiance was great. This restaurant has it all. Thank you Sushi Roku for making a un pleasurable night, a night to remember. P.S. Never heard back from the Manager?s from Wokano. Even after we emailed them about our situation. But that?s O.K. I will never step foot in that establishment again

I can't stand pretentious restaurants...and this one fits the bill. Filled with wannabe Abercrombie losers and "young professionals" who can't see beyond the next day as far as spending habits. Lord knows, there are tons of places like that in LA but this place happens to be close to where I live. We thought it would be a nice place to go but the ludicrious prices for what you get pretty much makes this place worthless. Pros: Location...you can go to alot of other places around it. Cons: Pricey, obnoxious, wannabe hang-out.
