Sushi Roku

Darryl and I (mostly I) decided to try Sushi Roku in Old Town Pasadena for lunch on Friday since it was participating in DineLA. We would have eaten at Cafe Santorini but their lunch deal wasn't as good as their dinner deal.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was (garlic-seared Albacore tuna was TO DIE FOR!) but I think it was a bit strong for my first meal of the day. All that raw fish didn't sit well with me for a couple of hours haha.

Garlic-seared Albacore/garnish after I started eating it. Darryl reminded me mid-bite :)

The service was great. Our waiter was really nice and always came by to check up on us at exactly the right time. Even the manager came by to chat with us! Normally they ignore us college-aged kids :)

Plus, Darryl and I got to sit wherever we wanted and were able to have a good conversation since nobody was around us.

My bento box
(6 pieces of sashimi, tempura, cod, chicken, kimchi cucumber, steamed rice elsewhere)
Also partially eaten.

I was pretty much focused on the food and talking so I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted.

Sadly I forgot about taking a picture of the dessert, but I was just so excited to have chocolate lava cake!!
