Great food and service! Don't have to wait very long for the order as the owner's on it right after the orders placed. Easy pick up and plenty of parking.

Food here is soooo good! It's an amazing sugar fish alternative if you're open to a to-go option. CM is doing something different for takeout and I love their concept of packaging. They do it well and their fish is extremely fresh! I've been coming here for a few years and more than a handful of times during my lunch breaks and have taken it home back to my parents.

The best sushi take-out restaurant in Pasadena! Amazing selection of fresh fish and great quality wagyu beef. The chef/owner puts a lot of love and skill in every delicious dish.

I live almost within walking distance from CM Ghost Kitchen but have never tried Chef Maezaki's food until suggested by my AllState agent who is in the same strip mall. Yes, it is a ghost kitchen but it is operated by the chef himself. Chef Maezake couldn't have been more accommodating. I ordered a total of 20 rolls-5 each of 4 types for NYE. He even allowed me to provide platters! While only an expert in my own mind, I do fancy myself a foodie and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Japanese food. Chef's quality and flavors are excellent. The veggie roll had gobo an shiso leaf. The spicy tuna and yellowtail scallion rolls were so flavorful, they didn't need anything else! I don't typically get to-go but, since I can pick up myself, I will be ordering over and over again!

Picked up lunch today since it's on my way home. This is my second take out and it didn't disappoint. I got the light and it was enough to fill me up. It has the same set up and very similar too sugar fish. I was pretty full and it's a good thing I didn't get the standard. The lunch specials look really good too I'll try it next time.

I found this place on DoorDash and I'm glad I did! Definitely a hidden gem for high quality take out sushi! The estimated time for pick up was accurate and there was no wait at all. I opted for the Light option and I was super full afterwards. The cuts of the fish were huge and I enjoyed the small kale salad in addition to the sashimi! Very yummy! I will definitely have to try making my own sushi rice after reading the instructions on the box as well.

One of the best sushi and Japanese food take out hidden gems located inside a humble storefront in a small strip mall in Pasadena right off the 210fwy. Sushi is outstanding for a takeout place - think pulling up a chair at a legit sushi bar in Japan but packaged so neatly (Japanese style) like in Japan! All the details covered from the packaging, hand wipe, quality wasabi and shoyu and even the small sauces to add to the sushi (if needed) 1st time I took out I ordered the regular chirashi that was I think the best in Pasadena! Best cuts and super fresh with perfect sushi rice! Put together so well - next time I will try the premium version which I assume would be even more delish! 2nd time I ordered the sushi dinner and it was one of the best I've had -I thought was even better than sugar fish and other mid high competitors. They don't skimp on quality of the fish and rice here even though it's just takeout. This time I tried the chicken teriyaki that was a generous serving and their sauce was perfectl not too sweet or syrupy. Very Japanese! Plus I picked some ala carte sushi which was again excellent! What a hidden gem for this ghost kitchen serving up high quality sushi in the non pretentious take out shop. Japanese Owner is very friendly too! Next time I will try the tonkatsu or curry! Definitely the best spot for high quality take out sushi and other Japanese dishes. Mochiko my cat was spoiled and gets her sashimi treats from the Japanese markets (mitsuwa and Yama seafood). She won't eat sashimi that has been frozen or from a chain or cheap Japanese restaurants or supermarket sushi (Ralphs, wholefoods, etc.). She won't even eat sashimi from Hmart! She is super picky for a cat! But she was going crazy when I gave her a nibble of my tuna! Mochiko approved as fresh quality!

It's Valentines Day and we definitely did not want to go out to a restaurant but still wanted a nice meal. This was my first time at CM Ghost Kitchen and the overall experience was very positive. We ordered on the website for pickup and we got a confirmation our order would be ready in 30 mins. Arrived at the time stated but our order was not ready. I understand that it's a very busy day for restaurants so I wasn't very bothered at all because the person helping me at the counter made sure to bring my order to attention to the kitchen and they immediately started working on putting my 2 sushi sets together for me. I could tell they were slammed, there were many orders in queue and all 3 staff members were working as fast as they could. They told walk in customers that orders are backed up and it would be a wait time so I do appreciate their transparency! 20 minutes after I arrived, my order was ready and we were able to enjoy a nice quiet dinner at home. The fish was fresh and I appreciate the individual tubes of sauce that accompanies each piece of fish so we didn't have to guess what goes with what. Portions were generous and we were very full and happy.

A great choice if you're on the go and want good quality bento! Ordered via their website and it was a breeze. Although the wait time may indicate a longer duration (ie: 30 minutes or 45 minutes), my experience is that they're usually ready within 20 or so minutes (at which point they will text you that your order is ready for pick up). Ordered the beef bento and it definitely hit the spot. The variety includes a gyoza, rolls, vege and karaage. The beef was tender and full of flavor. The rolls (spicy tuna) were very refreshing and a great contrast to the other items, such as the karaage and gyoza, which I would rate as flavorful and juicy. The interior is clean and service is excellent. The shop is in a small strip mall so parking can be a challenge during busy hours.

Had the pleasure of experiencing Chef Maezaki's food and skills when a friend hired him for an in-home birthday experience. All of us were wow-ed and blown away by him and his staff. This isn't your typical in-home sushi chef experience with mostly raw fish and rice. They came to the house 3.5 hours before to prep and cook. Then served up 6 amazing courses with a variety of cooked dishes alongside sushi/sashimi. Most of the courses contained several pieces (e.g. course 1 had 8 items), so we were stuffed by the end. The quality, flavors, dishes were all unique and delicious! Everything was cooked and presented with thought and perfection. He put so much into each dish, and his helpers were awesome as well. It was a full-service meal so we never had to lift a finger with their seamless service.
