Best Contemporary Asian Restaurants in South Pasadena

Had the most incredible experience at Sushi Polish in West Hollywood, especially sitting at the chef’s table. From the moment I walked in, everything felt special—the vibe, the energy, and of course, the food. The matcha and bao buns were such a cool surprise—so fluffy and perfectly balanced. The salmon was absolute perfection, like melt-in-your-mouth amazing. And the sushi? Honestly, some of the best I’ve ever had. Every piece was so fresh and beautifully put together, it felt like a little work of art. What made it even better was sitting right at the chef’s table and getting to watch all the care and skill that goes into each dish. You can tell they truly love what they do, and it makes the whole experience feel super personal. If you’re into sushi and looking for something next-level, you’ve got to try this place. It’s not just a meal—it’s the kind of night you’ll be talking about long after it’s over.
