Z Sushi

good mid-price sushi and sashimi

1132 N Garfield Ave, Alhambra, CA 91801 (map it!)

This is one of my "standard" sushi destinations in the general Pasadena area. It's probably the best combination of price + environment + quality + authenticity, although there are certainly comparably good places that are cheaper (see link to Shaab).

Food / Service

They serve a variety of dishes, but mostly I just order sushi and sashimi platters (and the attendant rolls).

Many of the dishes and platters come with miso soup and cucumber salad.

They have a pretty good happy hour with sake-derived martinis Mon-Thurs.

Environment / Ambience

It's a well lit organized space, with a reasonable amount of style given that they're quite mainstream.

The sushi bar is frequently full at peak times, but tables are usually available.
