But if you don’t have time to drive all the way to Malibu, then look no further than Pasadena’s own Nikka Fish & Grill for all of your crustacean cravings. With a menu to satisfy even Poseidon’s largest appetite you will definitely find a new favorite to go back to whenever you’re in the mood for seafood.
Let’s start at the beginning and dive into the amazing-sounding array of appetizers. There is definitely a starter for any taste on the menu. You can stick with something simple like a shrimp cocktail or oysters on the half-shell. Or take a walk on the wild side and expand your taste buds by ordering seaweed salad or salmon carpaccio. With appetizer prices starting at only $5.95 you will be tempted to order more than one.
If a savory soup sounds good to you then try either the Clam Chowder or Seafood Symphony. If you are looking for fresher lighter fare, sink your fork into one of their many salads.
