Woah mama! This amazing little spot puts a lot of effort into crafting their sushi. The rolls are inventive and packed with fresh ingredients, and the attention to detail is evident in each dish. My favorite was the Fire Snow roll. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is attentive. It’s a great spot for a unique sushi experience with quality ingredients and a bit of creativity. Try the sushi nachos, thank me later.

My friend and I were very impressed with Mama M. At first I thought this was one of those Old Town trendy restaurant with mediocre food. Was I wrong. Our meal was quite tasty. You can tell the chef put thoughts into the making of the food. Flavors were balanced - not overly flavored or spiced and not overly salted. That's important to me because I want to be able to taste the freshness of the food. Not only we enjoyed our meal, we also had a nice time chatting with our friendly server M. We had a dog with us and M even brought a cup of water for him. The whole dining experience was very pleasant. The price is a bit on the higher end; however, I would still recommend this place to friends.

Ate here today out on their patio area and have a great lunch on a sunny morning. We ordered the dragon roll, mixed tempura, soft shell crab, and a bento box and they were all delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. A little pricey but that is what you expect for Old Town. We will definitely come back.

I had breakfast in mind but there was a wait so I decided to check this place out, looked intimate and cozy. I’ve been craving some beer and the cloudy weather was perfect for some Udon too. The shrimp tempura that came along with the Udon was perfectly crisp on the other hand the Crispy Tuna was a bit too crispy but all good flavors. Thinking it would be a charming place for a date in anytime of day as you get a good view of Pasadena City Hall while arriving.

Came in for lunch with the family (6 ppl) on MLK day. We were quickly seated. The interior is small but they have a decent patio area.
Everything we ordered was delicious. The "spicy" edamame was so addicting. It was more of a garlic flavor than actual spicy-ness, but regardless I couldn't stop eating it!
The fish was so fresh in all of our entrees. Their lunch specials are a steal for the quality of food you are getting. What a great hidden gem that won't break the bank!
The staff is super friendly and we had a great lunch!
