“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!“

“The best Food you can get. If crowed a slow but worth the wait. If you could call in order 1st if possible. It's a small family restaurant. It's so good my favorite Shrimp & Grits or Catfish & Grits wow blueberry pancakes but o my god the french toast lord everything“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and service! The owner is very friendly and we enjoyed learning about his restaurant journey. Cute diner atmosphere. Definitely a place you want to patron regularly.“

“The best tacos in California!“

“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!“

“amazinggggggly delicious and healthy :)“

“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!“

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

“One of my favorite Plant-based restaurants. Love the Pho..love the shrimp .love the octpus...love the teas..everything here is amazing.“

“Excellent deep dish style pizza.“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great host, great hospitality, great presentation 💯“

“One of few places in Southern California that actually offers vegan talai. The naan garlic bread is out of these world. What I also love that they can make low salt food too and they have vegan mango lassi. Food is clean, so delicious and the employees are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you are in area. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-12“

“The amazing short rib dinner, the drinks, dessert, the impeccable service from reservations, table side service, and management, all made the most perfect Valentines Day dinner. Thank You!! 🙏🏼💖🔥“

“1st time here and man was it awesome. The food was good, I don’t know what kind of pickles they use, but they are delicious. The people were wonderful. It’s a small place, which is what I love, Not a fan of crowds. I am so glad my partner and I came across this place. That PASTRAMI!!!!, my god was it delicious.“

“Wow! I've never eaten much Armenian food, but I figured heck, why not? Was not disappointed! I got their namesake, and LOVE IT! All those herbs chopped up and wrapped up? On top of that, the mint and thyme tea? Yeah... I was sort of suffering some weird thing where I kept having to clear my throat. Tons of "ahems" and other old people noises ??. But just a bite of that Zhengyalov Hatz, and honestly I was healed! Some of the best food, and quite healthy! For sure, I'm coming back, and I'm bringing friends!“

“This is the place to go if you love hot pot. Good quality food, tasty, and flavorful broth. Good service and friendly staff.“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“This cafe has an all vegan menu, with vegetarian options- the inverse of what you normally get. They have a beautiful patio where you are visited by lil birdy friends asking politely for crumbs. The menu evolves and there are different drool-worthy pastries daily.“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“loved eating there with pops“

“Are you kidding me it’s always good“

“Family friendly, fresh chopped salad and crispy pizza, wood fired with earthy sweet and spicy flavors. Kids were happy with spaghetti and giant meatballs and super cheesy baked Mac. Momma liked the Sangiovese wine!!!“

“I was told to review for a free Thai Iced Tea: Good atmosphere, the decor and lighting is beautiful! Good service, I went on a busy Friday night so it took a little longer to get the server's attention but they were soooo nice when they attended me. Not the best Thai food I've had, although I'm not a good guide for identifying Thai food authenticity. That said, the Pad Thai was not pleasing to my palette. Personally, it was too salty.
I do like that they their happy hour ends at 8pm on a Friday night, which is pretty late compared to other restaurants, and they are open late as well. Pad Thai -$17 + $4 to add chicken“

“Every time I’m in LA/Eagle Rock, I have to stop by here. The donuts are sooo good, creative flavors, and fresh. I buy a dozen or 2 and trail my butt back to OC and my family is so excited. The vegan donuts are sooo good!! Don’t let that ube cake donuts fool you, it’s so soft and airy. My favorite along with vegan ube glaze. Yum!“

“Parking was terrible, but the food was tasty!“

“食材很新鲜，素食主义者的天堂“

“I'm 1/3 through the menu trying different entrees. So far, every meal has been a tasty treat! The food is always hot, flavorful, colorful . . . and delish!😋“

“The Caribbean Gourmet spot inside Boston’s Market Hall offered some truly delicious entrée options. I visited with a friend who recommended the oxtails, curries, and jerk chicken—all of which were incredibly well-seasoned and perfectly balanced in flavor. I’d highly recommend it to anyone, especially since it’s located in an open, food hall-style space that features a variety of other cuisines, similar to a food court but much more upscale.

The setting included a small stage and communal seating, creating a festive and inviting atmosphere, especially with the Christmas decorations for the season. Everything was reasonably priced, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The overall vibe was casual and relaxed yet vibrant, making it a great spot to hang out and savor some amazing food.

Parking on the street was free and plentiful when we went on a Wednesday night after 7:30 pm.“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“I still remember Veggie Grill when they were first starting out in Southern California years ago, down in the O.C. Over the years, their menu has changed, but they are still dependable and I really appreciate that you can get a 100% Vegan, tasty meal and fast, when you're in a hurry. It beats any national chain of real fast food (which is so unhealthy). Their current menu still has a few of their original favorites. The Santa Fe Chik'n Sandwich with guac, southwest mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickled onions on a wheat bun is still fire and a must! Still crunchy and well done. :) Their Lentil Soup is another great item, high in fiber, healthy and well seasoned. The Smokey Mushroom Tacos with marinated asada mushrooms, shredded lettuce, pickled onions, guac, Baja sauce on warm organic corn tortillas are satisfying. I'm sad they removed their Kale side order (you used be able to get it steamed or sauteed), because that is pure healthy vegetable deliciousness.“

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

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Great food and great service“

“Need to come to this small food joint inside the liquor place! They have seating outside the place, which is perfect!

I got their Dirty Baby sandwich with avocado! Cost 2 dollars more to add avocado, btw.
Rating: 9/10!!!
Really greasy, be warned, but worth it for sure!

My brother ordered their Jeff's Special Sandwich.
He rated it a 7/10, but I rate it 8.5/10!
For me, it was delicious! But personally, I prefer their Dirty Baby sandwich ❤️‍🔥

If I happen to be in the area again, I will certainly return. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. I eagerly anticipate my next visit 😊“

“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.“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“Coming to Chinatown to discover Asian culture, the restaurant is very traditional and cozy. The food is excellent, the prices are very fair, and the quantities too. The staff is very welcoming, caring and smiling. Thank you for this good meal. I highly recommend. #French tourist“

“Delicious FOOD. Had the 1/2 chicken with white rice and Peruvian beans. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The chicken was so moist and soft . As well as the Maracuya drink it was delicious and refreshing. Staff !! So attentive and nice. Will be coming back . ☺️“

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

“Stealing a phrase from their menu here, but Belle’s bagels is the epitome of “Newish & Jewish” deli classics. Their bagels on their own (judged by eating them without any CC or toppings) are wonderful and I much prefer them over the bagels from Courage, Layla, and Jyan Isaac. They have all the usual suspects (poppy, plain, onion, everything, sesame, salt) and what I’ll call a zeitgeist spin on a typical Asiago bagel: the cacio e pepe. I ordered an assortment of bagels to-go but also had an egg & cheese on the cacio e pepe at the bar counter. It was unbelievably good and such a unique flavor - the crushed peppercorns were the perfect touch. The bagel was perfectly chewy and soft, which paired so well with the velvety eggs and oozing melted cheese. Sitting at the counter felt like I was being served little slice of Jewish deli nostalgia. I also tried one of the black and white cookies to-go and was pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t found a black and white cookie I liked in LA for years until now. If you ever miss New York or the hustle and bustle of a deli with charm and character, make your way to Belle’s.“

“Their signature soufflé pancakes“

“Sometimes you’ll meet Yvonne there, who is so charming and sweet, you’ll want to be her friend. The owner of a flourishing mail-order bakery, Yvonne opened this cute bakery in a great location a year and a half ago or so. We’re very lucky that she decided to land in Pasadena. We’ve tried a lot of items, from the ube cakes to the jalapeño scones to the full cakes! Everything is great (and amazingly, also gluten-free, I believe). My absolute favorite is the coffee cake.“
