★★★★★ 5.0 Ying Liang · Jan 2026

Mama M is always a great place for lunch or dinner, they have specials every day of the week, consistently high-quality in good service for the price!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mavis · Nov 2023

My friend and I were very impressed with Mama M. At first I thought this was one of those Old Town trendy restaurant with mediocre food. Was I wrong. Our meal was quite tasty. You can tell the chef put thoughts into the making of the food. Flavors were balanced - not overly flavored or spiced and not overly salted. That's important to me because I want to be able to taste the freshness of the food. Not only we enjoyed our meal, we also had a nice time chatting with our friendly server M. We had a dog with us and M even brought a cup of water for him. The whole dining experience was very pleasant. The price is a bit on the higher end; however, I would still recommend this place to friends.

★★★★★ 5.0 Reed Smolan · Feb 2026

Just visited mama m sushi for our first time. Everything we ordered was absolutley delicious. The gyoza, the spicy endamame, the chicken teriyaki, the angel roll, the salmon sushi, the BAD angel roll (our favorite), the spicy crunch shrimp roll, the ginger, the wasabi, the shishito peppers were all FIRE! This is our new sushi spot. The best we have had in pasadena. All the other sushi restaraunts we have been to in the area have no point in existing.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Eric Beckman · Sep 2025

Just not good. The kind of place that smothers the sushi in garlic and jalapeño to hide the poor quality of the fish. I’m being generous with two stars. Ate at sushi bar.

★★★★★ 5.0 Peter Chun · Dec 2023

Ate here today out on their patio area and have a great lunch on a sunny morning. We ordered the dragon roll, mixed tempura, soft shell crab, and a bento box and they were all delicious. Service was friendly and attentive. A little pricey but that is what you expect for Old Town. We will definitely come back.
