Aikan Sushi Ramen - Pasadena

One of the best all you can eat places, period. They raised the prices slightly: AYCE lunch $30 regular, $36 premium AYCE dinner weekends $37 regular, $43 premium The Happy Hour looks cool but ultimately not worth it if you really came to eat. I love their jalapeño shrimp, and various tempura but the real stars are the salmon and unagi nigiris. Also a huge fan of the lion king and the aikan special when it comes to their rolls. Decent service, they try their best even when they’re super busy. Definitely recommend!

This is all-you-can-eat high quality sushi at $38.99 for regular and $44.99 for premium. The prices have gone up quite a bit recently but there are so many options to choose from. We just went with the regular as we figured it's enough. Premium includes uni, oysters, toro, crab, with limited orders. Put your name down on the wait-list first! It's typically a 1 to 2 hour wait on weekends. You can dine in for 2 hours with 3 rounds of orders. Everything we ordered was quite decent. We love their Squid and Salmon Sushi. Their ramen is also quite decent where they include chasiu and soft boiled eggs. The Seared salmon roll was also amazing. We walked out with our belly burst and were satisfied with everything.

This is definitely one of the better ayce sushi restaurants I’ve been to. I’ve been here multiple times and tried many of the items on the menu. While not all of them are great—the tuna nigiri lol—the items I do like, such as the salmon nigiri, unagi nigiri, karaage, tonkotsu ramen, tiger roll, are pretty damn good. I try to come during the week for the lunch pricing, there’s also no line when you go that early. I don’t usually pick the premium ayce because you’re only limited to one of each. There’s no outdoor seating and I think they do have an adjacent parking lot but it’s always full so I’ve never even driven in it. There’s 1 and 2 hour street parking but make sure to read the signs.

Such an amazing all-u-can-eat sushi spot! AND a phenomenal Happy Hour Menu with $1 Beer and $1 Sushi? What?!?! Yes, enough said, must check it out.

Arrive early if you don't want to wait, this place will fill up quickly. I gotta say you can't find faster service and quality to match, all at a reasonable price for an all you can eat. A trifecta of a great restaurant. The music wasn't too loud and always had good vibes. The staff make you feel comfortable and remember returning customers, The presentation of each dish is assembled as if it was a work of art, Aesthetically pleasing to say the least. (Pictures) A great combination of flavors. A tip I learned from going to different sushi spots : Complement each roll with a little bit of a palate cleanser ginger before eating your next set. To get a fresh taste of each roll experiencing the blast of flavors.
