“Chili dog is yummyyyyyyyy”

“Delicious ice cream, with top quality ingredients! Sizes are bigger than other nearby shops and it even includes toppings!”

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29”

“Discovered this place on our trip to Pasadena and we were rewarded with a fantastic meal. Great menu! The owner was passionate about his food and it showed. I hope we have an excuse to return. Highly recommended!”

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.”

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

“Very unique and interesting flavor, but still delicious! Be prepared for your mouth to tingle and go numb from the spice 😛 I enjoyed the vibes here. I got the cold noodles and the noodle soup, both worth a try. Cold noodles taste really good, very rich, creamy and hearty flavor 😋 staff is really kind and explain the menu well. I would come back and try other things off the menu too.”

“Really great local business! Super delicious flavors that aren’t too sweet! The worker Donny was very sweet and welcoming! A great experience, would recommend!”

“Finally tried Maciel’s after hearing great things. While the service was underwhelming and lacked warmth, the Italian sub I ordered was fantastic. I would return for the food. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-21”

Try the shrimp
Try the carrots
Try the bbq chicken
Try the fish

Legit try it all.”

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!”

“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!”

I’ll beg her to come everytime I’m in town, and be very Jealous that she gets to come whenever she wants!!! EVERYTHING was BEYOND DELICIOUS!! Bravo!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

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

“Hands down, one of the best Chinese restaurants in the SGV. My favorite dishes are the cat ear shaped noodle soup and pork meatballs, as well as the wife’s special noodles, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Highly recommend for anybody in the surrounding area to try”

“Owner has great hospitality! We did have to wait for a bit since we went on a Sunday, but line moved at a reasonable pace and was organized. Food was warm though the xiu mai skin was thicker than we wanted. Highly recommend fried shrimp dumplings and steamed BBQ pork bun :) would consider go again!”

“Soooo good! This was my first time trying Blossom Market Hall, recommended by a friend, and i absolutely loved my experience here! My sister and I had Rolland sushi, it was the perfect meal! Delicious with the sweetest staff. We also had a great experience with the lovely woman at the bar, she made our night too! Bar prices are GREAT!

Can’t wait to come back and try more places.”

“Wonderful service~ food comes out quickly and is a great place to go on your work break. I got the burrito de pollo today~ but I am also a huge fan of a 1/4 chicken with two small sides of yucca fries~ all three dipping sauces are delicious!”

“The service, the food, the environment and the kindness and efficiency of our server tonight! 😋👍”

“The best Indonesian foods 👍😍👍”

“cute tucked away place. Have picked up and ordered to sit down! It's outdoor seating only. It's a hidden place. Parking may or may not be hard. But I just walk a half block. I like it. People working there are nice for Pick up, Too Good to Go and also to eat there as a regular customer!”

“Que Delicia! Todo Fresco! Y Vegano <3”

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.”

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.”

“CG is at the top of my list when it comes to a fantastic meal, flakey and so great tasty pastries. Everything is homemade my taste buds literally are screaming yummy with every bite. Whether it is a beef patty, pine tart, cheese roll,vegetable curry, pepper pot, homemade bread and black cake. Everything is super delicious! Thank you so much Chef Yonette and the Caribbean Gourmet team for your amazing service! I truly appreciate the love and joy that you have in all of your wonderfully made and delicious selections.❤️”

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.”

“Known for their grassfed beef burger. They offer $14 vegan option but no vegan cheese. The mayo has no dairy but does have eggs. Everyone enjoyed their $12 grassfed beef and $14-$15 Ruben or patty melt sandwich options. $5 Curry fries was nice. They do have 1 restroom, no mirror. They offer a water station on the side with disposable paper cups.

Patio bar top seating are good for individual to couples eating there. A party of 4 like us could be a bit disruptive when sitting on both sides.”
