Yakiya
restaurant
This Pasadena spot pairs Japanese yakiniku and shabu dining with creative cocktails in a polished, celebratory setting.
Description
Dining unfolds across dedicated areas for shabu and yakiniku, where menus shift periodically to introduce new dishes. Dinner can extend to an unhurried ten-course meal built around single-bite plates alongside rice and egg dishes. Monday through Friday, a weekday Golden Hour features a rotating lineup of curated drink specials paired with small bites. The restaurant itself sits tucked into an industrial park off Foothill Boulevard, just a block from the freeway.
