This is where all that fresh fish shines. The tempura adds just a bit of complexity to an old standard.įor all you raw fish lovers give Chef Kim’s Sushi Burrito a try. It’s your basic Philadelphia roll (salmon, avocado, cream cheese) dipped in tempura batter and fried to a golden brown. If you like your sushi with a little tempura try the Golden Philly Roll. This is a great dish for people who aren’t too adventurous since it’s cooked and it’s really good. My companion’s favorite was an appetizer called Volcano which is pieces of snapper surrounding crab, all baked and topped with salmon roe and a soy-based sauce. ![]() The result is a sushi roll with a kick and a lot of fun! I love to play with my food. A basic California Roll is layered with red snapper and dynamite sauce and then-here’s the good part-it’s set on fire! Chef adds a couple of capfuls of Bacardi 151 and sets the whole thing ablaze. If you like your sushi on fire this next roll is for you. Chef created this hand roll for his daughter Jasmine’s birthday so he named it after her. The result is a bit spicy, a bit sweet, a little nutty and a lot of yum. Chef Kim takes a soy wrapper and fills it with a mixture of spicy tuna, crab, crunch and dynamite sauce and then adds a layer of avocado. Now it’s all I can think about when I’m hungry. In researching the restaurant I had read a quite a few favorable comments about the Jasmine Hand Roll so that is what I ordered first. Of course that was before we ate at Sushi Ya. And my companion-forget about it-it’s a rare occasion when I can get him to try a California Roll. I’m just not very adventurous when it comes to raw fish. I’m always a little apprehensive before I review a sushi restaurant. It’s not unusual to hear Chef Kim greet a customer by name and ask “do you want the usual?” Sushi Ya is an intimate neighborhood restaurant in northeast Pasadena, were the owner, Jason Kim is one of the sushi chefs and knows all his regulars by name and sushi order. ![]()
