LA Food | Pasadena Aikan Sushi & Ramen 🍣🍜

This is our go-to comfort spot for group hangs—we’ve been here at least five times together! This time, I brought my boyfriend to try it out. We visited at lunch and chose the Premium AYCE (All-You-Can-Eat) for $48 per person before tax. The Premium option mainly adds a few exclusive items you can order once per person. Everything else pictured here is included in the regular menu and can be ordered unlimited times! 😋 As an Aikan regular, here’s what I especially recommend: 🐟 Sashimi – My absolute favorite here! The sashimi is marinated and seasoned—it has a tangy-spicy sauce that’s so much tastier than the sweet sauces in poke bowls, yet more flavorful than plain sashimi. Our group once ate 70 plates of sashimi (not even counting other dishes) during one meal—that’s how much we love it! 🥢 🦪 Grilled Mussels & Fried Oysters – The mussels are baked with creamy mayo—rich and savory! The oysters are lightly breaded and fried—crispy outside, juicy inside. 🍤 Other dishes are also solid, pretty standard for a Japanese AYCE, so I won’t go into detail. Overall, Aikan offers great variety, convenient location, fair prices, and consistent quality! Service is friendly too. But honestly, you can skip the Premium option—the regular menu already has plenty to choose from! Regular AYCE is $36 for lunch, $43 for dinner—a really good deal for Pasadena! 💸👍 #LAFood #LARestaurants #LosAngelesEats #PasadenaFood #PasadenaEats #JapaneseAYCE
