" Noda's place is undoubtedly cozy and charming. I tried the chicken teriyaki, which was tender but lacked a bit of sauce. On the flip side, the sushi rolls were vibrant and full of flavor. Bigger portions would be appreciated, but I left satisfied nonetheless. A lovely neighborhood spot worth visiting when craving sushi and Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

Even when they’re busy, they manage to maintain a great atmosphere. I often recommend them to friends. Can't wait to go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Noda a few months ago and quickly became a regular. The sushi is consistently fresh, and the variety keeps me coming back! My personal favorite is the salmon avocado roll, which is a flavorful delight. While the service can be a bit slow during peak hours, the staff are always courteous and friendly. The ambiance is cozy, making it great for both casual dining and special occasions. I appreciate that they offer generous portions for the prices. I'd say this is one of the best sushi spots around. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

I tried a variety of rolls, and all were delectable. I appreciated the promptness of the service, and the staff checked in just the right amount. Definitely on my list of favorites now! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been visiting Noda for years and it has remained one of my favorite sushi spots. The quality has never wavered, from their classic rolls to unique seasonal offerings.

The ambiance is relaxed yet lively, making it perfect for gatherings or a quick bite. I appreciate their generous portions, which give good bang for your buck. Don't overlook this hidden gem!

" Noda feels like a hidden treasure in Pasadena! Each visit brings delicious surprises—their sushi is always fresh and well-prepared. I love their signature rolls; they really showcase the chef’s creativity. The atmosphere is perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. My only complaint would be the occasional wait time, but the food is worth it. Definitely check out their lunch specials—they offer great value for the quality of food served. I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Today was my first visit to Noda, and I must say, I was impressed by the attention to detail. The sushi was exquisitely crafted, and I particularly loved their unique rolls. I tried the cilantro shrimp roll, which was flavorful and creative. However, the service was a bit on the slower side as they seemed short-staffed. Nonetheless, the warm and cozy ambiance kept our spirits lifted. I look forward to returning to see if my next experience is just as good—or even better! " (*Curated Review*)
