“Awesome spot - pleasantly surprised when I brought my toddler here to find they had a whole collection of toy dinosaurs that kept him entertained (for almost 5 whole minutes)! The dog friendly back patio was also great - super cute vibes and lots of cute puppies. Friendly staff, delicious drinks and baked goods.“

“This is my go to when I don't feel like cooking. Things are cooked fresh on the spot. The owners are very kind and thoughtful. I used to come here years ago.Then I moved away and since I moved back, I'm glad they are still going strong! Thank you for oaks burger!“

“muy delisiosa comida lo atienden Co un gran serbisio recomendado“

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“This is our local pub; we don't order wine (of which they have a nice selection), but they have a few European beers on tap that are quite good (including Guinness). They also have bottled beer if you prefer. This is a family owned pub (also "1881" on Washington/ Allen in East Pasadena), & you can usually catch owners Gail (sorry if I misspelled!) & Judah "Ben Hur." Actually he looks more like Mick Fleetwood and you can sit at the bar and have a chat with him if you want. I just like to say"Judah Ben-Hur" from the movie BEN HUR (1960?). Great service & vibe. Not fancy, just a great neighborhood pub to have a beer or two (I recommend several, if you have a designated driver). There is actually 3 areas you can drink- at the bar, a room for a few parties, and a secluded outdoor area for smokers in the back. It's quite cool & we feel at home there. If you live in Altadena/Pasadena on the west side (on Fair Oaks North of Woodbury) this is the bar for you. They also have pizza which is quite good. Judah is English, Gail from Chicago, and they have family that help out. It's a great little ace! Check it out! I'll be there tonight- look for the good looking older gent with the Roy Orbison glasses. He can be quite entertaining!“

“Great outdoor seating. Bunch of benches on a concrete slap with flexible shade cover. Of all the ones I'd been - Culver, Burbank, Little Tokyo, this one has the largest parking of 9 spaces + 1 handy! Same for the overall patio seating space. This location is much much quieter than the other roadside seatings. I always lean toward the thick square pie. Not disappointed but had to say the Burbank location is saucier. The meat lover I had was spotty with sauce, at least for this visit. Nonetheless it is still excellent. It's not cheap at 2-3x + nationally chain prices. Occasional visit and savor the moment is what I could do. Stick with bread and pizza.“

“I found them on Atlantic Blvd in Monterey Park on my way home in this chilling night. I've had a long day at work and my belly was flat. I need food. So I stopped in front of their yellow truck and Hazel told me that chicken plate is really good. And she didn't lie to me. It is beyond amazing! I've never tried any Salvatore food but this is way too good. Definitely beyond my expectations! If you thought you don't like Hispanic food, you should try this place. Chef Will really knows about food. He saw me shaking in the cold breeze so he gave me a saucer of sample fries. It tastes like heaven. Seriously!!! I'm not kidding. Chef Will knows what is real cuisine. The seasoning is not too crazy but just perfect for flavor. Highly recommended!“

“Love this place, my wife and I try to go at least once a month. Great job to the entire staff.“

“Tasty food and all plant based but tastes like regular food. I mean I’m not Vegan but I enjoy every type of food. So Vegan or not you’ll get good service here and good food. It’s a small place but worth stopping by.
Definitely recommend.“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“Simply phenomenal. It takes incredible food, made by kind folks, who love what they do, to lift a stranger's spirit like my own. I had ordered four tacos: Masala Birria, Tinga Masala Chicken (by recommendation), Pibil Chicken, and the potato (Mexican potato substitution), along with a side of Mom's Beans and seasoned Cauliflower. I was nodding my head blissfully as I ate everything. The smell of spices and fresh cilantro, the taste of meaty beans and succulent poultry, and pickled onions were wildly satisfying. I was blown away and can't wait to return. You're missing out if you haven't eaten here, yet. Until next time, peace.“

“Everything! Good Service, good Food, good menu, good chef! He will work with you! Catering, rent a banquet hall, for any occasion!“

“Food & Fun in a bustling yet relaxed atmosphere.“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The best tacos in California!“

“A sweet little spot filled with incredible pastry & bread.
I snagged the Cauli Sammy & I wish in a way I got two!!! The carrot/beet slaw was also a gem.

Everything I got was Togo. Next time I will be sitting & enjoying the cool environment they have created.“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Now this restaurant… fireeeeee. The atmosphere at night is my favorite! The food was delicious I couldn’t get enough of the spicy tuna rice cakes. The aguachiles are FIREEEE it’s the right amount of spicy. The margaritas pair well with their dishes. I look forward to trying their lunch menu! I will be back.“

“recently visited this shaurma spot and honestly, the interior is amazing — super cozy, stylish, and has a whole vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. It definitely feels like more than just a quick food stop.

I tried the chicken shawarma. While the flavor was okay, I wasn’t too happy with the chicken — it wasn’t grilled properly, and the wrap felt a bit unbalanced with too much lavash and not enough ingredients inside.

That being said, I still recommend checking this place out. The experience itself is worth it, and with such a nice atmosphere, I really hope this business grows and stands strong. It’s definitely a spot I want to see succeed, and maybe with a few tweaks to the food, it can become a favorite!“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“I am not sure why 626 Ice Cream has such bad reviews.

I had heard lots about this place, but due to them mostly being open on weekday nights, didn't have a chance to try them until yesterday afternoon.

I enjoyed the calming ambiance. Everything seemed randomly arranged, however it went well with the area.

The ice cream served here is very delicious and creamy, so if you like that type of style, you're better off coming here. I got the condensed milk and black sesame flavors with sprinkles, Gummy bears and mochi. Their mochi bin was nearly empty, and I discovered why when I ate my dessert. I mean, the other two toppings were also tasty and I'm glad I didn't do just mochi, but mochi had to be the best out of the three toppings I had.

Would come back if I were in the area!“

“pizza is delicious and wings are fantastic“

“Please please do yourself a favor and eat here! We had the ceviche Classico & lomo saltado - I’m not even joking that my boyfriend and I had to hug after the meal because it was SO delicious and enjoyable. The flavors were bright and unique. You can tell that these recipes were thoughtful created! Can’t wait to try more on the menu ❤️“

“So yummy it was best food I have had I like it a lot and they are open late which is rlly good for me since I am a late night owl and I stay up later especially when there’s delicious Thai Food from Sticky Rice which is always a huge plus for me when it is late and I am hungry which is not now but could be later.“

“I loved my lunch. Chilled Beer with Blue Cheese Burger.“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“Favorite Sichuan restaurant in California! Definitely the most authentic Sichuan food I’ve ever had in the states (yes I’m from Sichuan so take my word for it lol)
We live in the Bay Area, but whenever we’re visiting LA, we go to this place because of the great taste.
We ordered rabbit, beef and beef. The portions were HUGE. Every dish was flavorful, and it’s amazing that they picked seasonal vegetables to complement the flavor of the meat in each dish. And the spiciness is really close to what I had back at home in Sichuan. The chengdu fried rice(this should be the name if I remember it correctly) is also very good, not oily at all.
The restaurant owner is also very nice and she told us the rabbit meat is fresh from the butcher shop everyday, which sets this restaurant apart from others. (Well, this is the only restaurants in the states that I have ever been to that serves rabbit on the menu, so I really appreciate that)
100% recommend this place.“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

“This is a great place to enjoy continental food. I was very surprised at how authentic the Indian food I ordered tasted. I ordered the butter chicken which came with naan, rice and chapatis. Butter chicken. It tasted like professional style and was very nice looking. It even surpassed some of the Indian restaurants I have tried before.“

“Visit for lunch or Dinner. If you're lucky, you might have live music on a friday night. On to the food - Gourmet Carribean is a must try! the oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, chick peas and the Friday special, Jerk Salmon. Everything I've tried is delicious. There's a small baker on the other side and I love their Ube cookies! I Highly recommend visiting Blossom Market. Located on the San Gabriel Mission Properties.“

“Love what they done with the place the place looks chic and aesthetics. I love the art and the signs up and the menu was easy to read. The person there was very nice and helped me and was very kind. Food I got chicken wings the seeet and spicy and it was so so good“

“The food is delicious, and food presentation is attractive and elegant. The service is friendly and professional. The ambience is simple and elegant.

It’s hard to find good gluten free. And this is good food. Highly recommended.“

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“Guys I literally thought some of the photos must be fake... they're not. I got exquisite latte art (good coffee too!), beautiful plates of delicious food. I have no idea why this place only has 88 reviews, but the 4.8 stars is accurate! On top of that, it's a very cute location. Please try out Old Town Caffe!

We got the Salmon Bagel, Sweet Latte, Ube Frozen drink, and Egg Avocado Toast and they all exceeded expectations :)“

“My husband and I loved this place! The best Italian sandwiches we have had in a while. We even liked it better than the viral All’antico Vinaio. We also got the tiramisu at the end, and after going to Italy this past summer this was the closest and best to the real deal. Also got a latte and their coffee is also amazing. If you are in the area definitely give this place a try.“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“I ordered Pop’s Trio that comes with each skewer of chicken, beef, and beef koobideh (luleh); white rice and lettuce salad with lemon vinaigrette; savory hummus; cucumber, tomato salad; grilled pepper; and a pita bread. All the vegetables were fresh, and the meat was seasoned well. My favorite one was beef koobideh.

The mobile ordering process was straightforward and convenient, but when I went there for pick-up, it was a bit confusing about which counter to go to for pick-up because there was no one at the cashier counter and apparently the area around the right side of the counter next to refrigerator when entering the restaurant had more space for customers to order and wait. Also, I didn't find the staff welcoming or approachable, but the person who cooked and gave me my pickup order was very warm and hospitable.

The food was great! I’ll definitely go back.“

“So thankful my husband and I found Little Barn during our visit in LA. The Vegan breakfast sandwiches and drinks we ordered were so dang good and trust, we’re pretty spoiled with Vegan food in the PNW! The workers were incredible nice. Don’t miss out on the area in the back. It’s relaxing and nice to sit down and just forget about the world for a moment while you eat. Highly recommend supporting this coffee house, Vegan or not, it’s worth it!“

“I was craving a donut one day and when I found this place I was not disappointed! They had tasty gluten free donuts and I got a iced strawberry matcha drink that was delicious as well. The space has an inviting atmosphere and the staff is very helpful and friendly as well.“

“best place ever. been coming since I was 7 yrs old“

“MAKISUPA (est 2024) is Silver Lake's brand new coffee bar located right across the street from Blair's restaurant and adjacent to Camelot School. Their indoor has an atrium-style seating area where staff serve coffee drinks. Its tranquil atmosphere definitely attenuates the stress in your work. It’s my first time here and ordered a Cold Brew. It was perfectly made to my liking.

Service was on point and staff was nice and competent. Prices were very competitive. They are open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and weekends from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. There is a free parking behind the building and surrounding neighborhood.

Overall, I had a good experience and I recommend this coffee bar. I’ll definitely come back.“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“
