Afloat Sushi

Last night we ate at Afloat Sushi, which is located at 87 East Colorado Blvd in Pasadena. This is the only sushi place I have been to where the sushi floats around in boats on water for you to take. Just like most of the conveyor belt sushi places you take whatever plates you want and the waitresses add up the price of your plates at the end of your meal. The prices are reasonable, and the sushi is great. They have all kinds of sushi and sashi to choose from, and if something does not get made, you can order it special from the chef. So far all of the chefs have been wonderful, good natured people who will joke around with you if you engage them in conversation.

I have found that the best night to attend is Friday. The wait can be long, but they have more chefs on duty than normal, and they mostly put out more of the really good sushi. This means more expensive plates, but it’s well worth it.

The atmosphere isn’t incredibly high class, but it is very friendly. They have table seating as well as the bar, but you don’t get nearly the same experience. What’s better than getting to arrive, sit, and eat right away? You can eat whatever you choose, and don’t have to wait for a waitress to bring it out. Last night one of the sushi boats was even decked out with a little pirate flag.

If you are in Pasadena, I highly recommend stopping at Afloat Sushi for your evening meal, you wont regret it.
