Kaviar Pasadena

We had a fantastic experience at the restaurant. The fish was incredibly fresh and delicious, and everything was beautifully presented. My partner and I opted for the chef's tasting menu, which was quite pricey but definitely worth it. The only downside was that we would have liked a larger dessert course; the brownie with ice cream was quite small—almost like a sushi portion, haha.

We made a reservation for 8:15 and arrived on time. We were seated and placed our order by 8:30, opting for the chef's choice course meal and adding an extra caviar service. The caviar arrived at 8:45, and we enjoyed that until about 9:05. At that point, all of our main dishes came out at once, but our table was too small to accommodate the plates, so the waitstaff piled them on top of each other. Seeing how frustrated I was, one of the waiters offered to pack up anything we didn't finish. Then, at 9:15, our dessert was served before we had finished our main courses, and it was presented alongside the bill. By 9:20, the waiter repeatedly asked if we could settle the check. I have never felt so disrespected while dining, especially considering this is not a budget-friendly restaurant.

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, and the staff were extremely accommodating. I opted for the Chef's Tasting Menu, which was a delightful choice. Just a heads up, there is an extra fee for credit card payments. I will definitely be returning!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional sushi restaurant and, to put it simply, it was a culinary adventure unlike any other. An unforgettable gastronomic journey.The Chef's Tasting MenuLet's start with the appetizers the Truffle Edamame Yuzu Shishito was an explosion of flavors! The hint of truffle combined with the citrusy zing of yuzu created a symphony on my palate that left me craving more. The Yellowtail Ceviche was a perfect blend of freshness and tanginess, a delightful introduction to the exquisite offerings on the menu.The main courses were nothing short of spectacular. The Truffle Toro topped with caviar, truffle oil, and 24k gold flakes was a masterpiece. Each bite was a luxurious experience that I won't soon forget. The Wagyu Tacos were a surprising yet divine fusion of flavors, showcasing the chef's creativity and skill.The Miso Glazed Black Cod was cooked to perfection tender, flaky, and infused with just the right balance of sweet and savory. And then there was the Wagyu Skirt Steak with Shiso Leaf Chimichurri; the melt in your mouth tenderness of the wagyu paired flawlessly with the herbaceous notes of the chimichurri.Not only were the dishes a feast for the taste buds, but the presentation was also a work of art. Each plate was meticulously crafted, showcasing the chef's dedication to both taste and aesthetics.The service was impeccable, with a staff that was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also passionate about ensuring a delightful dining experience for every guest. I came to celebrate a graduate with my family, and I have to thank Justin and the staff for such an amazing experience, it was a memorable night that I will cherish and remember forever.Overall, this sushi restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a haven for food enthusiasts seeking an exceptional dining experience.
