Kaiba Japanese Ramen, Sushi & Grill - Pasadena

Staff was friendly and the food was amazing. Poke tuna, beef udon, and Cali roll with beef teriyaki. It hot the spot! Make sure to post a pic on yelp for free drink, hit tea or ice cream.

Cute find on Colorado. Was recommended by a friend. Tried the Tonkotsu ramen. I loved that it had a lot of wood-ear mushroom so has a lot of great texture and crunch. They also have a lunch special every day.

Great service, LOTS of delicious food. Very generous amounts.

Kaiba Japanese restaurant offers variety of rolls and ordered Hungry man roll & tuna roll was great! Also, got miso ramen which I hardly choose but some reason I was craving and soup tasted really delicious & noodle was perfect! I will come back again to try other tasty rolls & ramen!

It deserves 4 stars, but the day I went, their deep fryer was out of order-no fried food was available. That meant no tempura, no fried calamari, no soft-shell crab, no "Heart Attack" (yes, that's the name of a dish). So I'm giving it 3 stars this time. I hope I get a chance to eat there again. It's a very typical American-style Japanese restaurant, in both food and atmosphere. Most of the rolls are large 8-piece rolls. I had the Caterpillar Roll, a typical roll found in Southern California-you'll never see it in Japan. I think most Japanese people wouldn't even call things like the California Roll or Philadelphia Roll "sushi." I guess only Americans think this is a Japanese restaurant. To Japanese people, it probably feels more like an American bar-especially with the three giant TVs on the wall playing different sports games. "Sashimi" means raw fresh fish in Japanese, but they even put pre-cooked freshwater eel in that category. Let's talk about the food: Sashimi: Fatty Salmon ★★★★★ Very fresh. Sashimi: Fatty Yellowtail ★★★★★ The best yellowtail I've ever had-even compared to real Japanese restaurants. It's not only fresh, but also very soft. If yellowtail isn't fatty enough, it gets tough-but this one was the softest yellowtail I've ever had. Freshwater Eel ★★★☆☆ Industrial pre-cooked eel, 100% imported from China. Always the same flavor, always the same taste. Salmon Collar ★★★☆☆ It's not just the collar-it's more like the whole front of the shirt. Anyway, the portion is very American. Caterpillar Roll ★★★★☆ Fresh avocado, good presentation. Seaweed Salad ★★★☆☆ Also industrial pre-made, 100% imported from China. Always the same texture and flavor. Edamame ★★★★★ Warm edamame with garlic and spice. A nice try. Service was a bit slow and chaotic-probably too many customers. Good point: the beer cup was frozen, and they replaced it with a new one for each refill. By the way, parking is very crowded, and you're only allowed to park for one hour. My friend had to move his car in the middle of our dinner.

Can be a bit of a wait, digital waiting list, food is very good and service is above average. Front Patio is nice with heaters, and set back enough to be fairly isolated from the street

The best ramen in LA! I’ve tried so many places, and this one’s definitely worth it. Everyone around me is here for the ramen too — I can tell! 🤭
