LA AYCE Sushi 🍣 | The King of Value!

Having lived in LA for 10 years, I’ve never found a Japanese AYCE with better value than this! 💸 Two people, including tip, came out to just $100! Aikan Sushi & Ramen 📍735 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91101 ☎️626-578-1123 🕚 Open 7 days, 11:30 AM–10:00 PM LA Foodie Q&A: 1⃣️ Is it all-you-can-eat? Yes, but semi-AYCE style. You can order in 3 rounds. If you get rolls, you might not even finish all rounds! 2⃣️ Price per person? Lunch: $25.99 Dinner: Plan A: $29.99 Plan B: $35.99 The difference: Plan B includes sweet shrimp, uni, etc. (one-time order only; extra servings cost $0.99 each). Regular draft beer: $1/glass All-you-can-drink sake option: $12.99/person 🍶 3⃣️ Reservations? Wait time? No reservations needed, but be prepared to wait—1 hour minimum! Even when we went at 9 PM for a late-night snack, it was still packed. Kitchen closes at 9:30 PM—last order allows all 3 rounds at once. 4⃣️ Do I have to wait in line? Nope! They’ll text you when your table is ready. Feel free to explore Old Town nearby—grab boba, coconut pudding, or shop around! 🛍️🧋 5⃣️ Recommended dishes? ✅ Uni ✅ Poke bowls (small but delicious—all 3 types are great!) ✅ Oysters ✅ Fried soft-shell crab 🦀 ✅ Sweet shrimp ✅ Baked mussels, ramen, oyster omelette ✅ Baked scallops, assorted sushi, grilled rice balls ✅ Sashimi rolls (my husband found them weird, but I loved the “fish-in-a-pancake” vibe! 😂) ✅ All kinds of sashimi Are rolls big? YES, huge! Order carefully—it’s easy to overeat. Uneaten items incur extra charges. 8Do they speak Chinese? Is it Japanese-owned? Yes, Chinese-speaking staff available. Not sure about ownership! Overall rating? 🌟🌟🌟🔆 3.5/5 for price and taste balance. My husband thinks Ootoro tastes better—I said, “Ootoro costs how much?! This is a steal!” For the price, freshness, and location (close to home!), it’s totally worth it. I’ll definitely be back! 🏃‍♀️💨 #LAEats #AYCESushi #BestValue #PasadenaFood #SushiLovers #BudgetEats #LAFoodie
