In ShortWith its earth-toned wood floors, bonsai trees and colorful tapestries, this bistro-style dining room is stylish. Diners sit at the crowded sushi bar in back or at private tables along the side wall. Along with ample sushi and sashimi options, the large menu features several varieties of miso soup and assorted cooked entrees, including the Super Power bowl, a combination of barbecued eel, tuna, garlic chicken and mountain vegetables over brown and white rice.

The best in Pasadena
by imagination101
The service is exceptional, the sushi is extreme. This hidden Shushi Bar and restaurant on Colorado & Lake is a dream come true. No driving downtown or to the Valley or west LA for great Shushi. I've seen this place for about 5 months, but never went in. Big mistake, the chef at Restaurant Halie recommended it to us, am I glad he did. If you love shushi you will love this place. The owner is always there to greet you. The staff is wonderful and the chef is as good as it gets.
Pros: Great Shushi, Great Service, Great Food
Cons: , Hard to find
