Tani Japanese - Pasadena

You serve decent sushi and rolls here, but the rest of the menu isn't what you typically find in a Japanese restaurant. The style leans more towards fusion. I visited for the first time on Father's Day for lunch, and the Spicy Moromi Miso Sea Bass was exceptionally delicious. It was incredibly delicate and fluffy, and the flavors were fantastic! I've returned several times since, and while none of those experiences have quite matched the first, they've all been quite good. Your lunch Bento with fish is a fantastic deal, especially considering my experiences with lunch options downtown. The service is always excellent; the staff is friendly and consistently makes an effort to present the dishes beautifully at your table. I don't usually pay attention to this, but it's something I've noticed every time I've visited Tani.
