Hidden away in a small shopping center in Pasadena is Little Tokyo, a tiny and intimate Japanese restaurant specializing in sushi. The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of sushi, sashimi, rolls, soups and salads, noodle dishes, and Bento boxes. The portions are large, and the prices are reasonable.

The fresh, made-to-order preparations mean your food may take awhile to arrive, but diners say it’s worth the wait. Regulars recommend sitting at the sushi bar to watch the chefs prepare your food. While you won't find a full bar here, Little Tokyo offers reasonably priced beers, wine, and sake. Because the restaurant is so small, it’s always busy and crowded, so be sure to make a reservation.

Take-out is available, and reservations are accepted. The restaurant is closed on Sundays.
