The bok Choi was good but nothing super special. The broth really is amazing, but the chicken I ordered with it was pretty tough and not very fresh. We were seated in a back corner and our waiter definitely forgot about us at times.

Bone Kettle: A Flavor-Packed Gem in Pasadena
From the moment we stepped into Bone Kettle, we knew we were in for something special. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance, sleek, modern, and warm with attentive staff who make you feel like a regular even on your first visit.
But let’s talk about the food. The star of the show? Their legendary broth slow-simmered for 36 hours, rich, silky, and layered with flavor. Every spoonful feels like a masterclass in depth and technique.
Every dish is beautifully plated and thoughtfully prepared, showcasing Southeast Asian flavors with a refined twist. The appetizers are equally impressive, and the craft cocktails hold their own alongside the bold cuisine.
Prices are fair for the quality, and portions are satisfying without overwhelming. You can tell the team here takes real pride in their work.
Bone Kettle isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. Highly recommend for date nights, foodies, or anyone who wants to taste something extraordinary in the heart of Pasadena.

My favourite soul food to go to and to get a power boost. Bone broth, will Bone Marrow canues, and Oxtail Dumplings. My holy trio i get all the time. For extra protein i get the Shrimp, and for desert their Ube Basque Cheesecake is out of this world.

Food is flavored very well and I really enjoyed it! Highly recommend the Drunken Soba Noodles!

It's in the name bone kettle. They used bone broth for the noodles and soup. I had oxtail soup with my noodles. And beef tartar. Everything was very good, great for a treat.

Delicious ☕️ and delicious soups dumping bone marrow butter are delicious 😋

I truly don’t understand how they can have 4.4 must be fake
1. Soup taste like it’s canned food despite advertising as cooked for more than 24 hours 2. They charge mandatory tips with low quality service 3. Tax is on top total combined bill - including mandatory tips
Total scam. Stay away.

Garlic prawns are a must!

Absolutely incredible brunch! Like, one of those menus that you know you will have to come back and try different things, even though what you had the first time was something truly special.
Parking: It's Pasadena, so you will either get lucky and find street parking, or you will have to break down and pay for a paid structure. The good news is, there are multiple structures nearby so you should be able to find parking regardless.
was super excited to see my favorite indonesian dish beef rendang during brunch but the execution was terrible, it was the worst dish.
loco moco and tocilog (pork) were much better.

I came for lunch on a week day. Food and service are fine. They were nice and gave my dog a water bowl with ice.
The reason I put 4 stars is because I don’t like how they add in a 20% service charge and then tax on top of that. Geez, if you are going to set the tip for me, at least do it after taxes, not before.

Great food and great customer service. Chicken breast was delicious. Price is reasonable fits everyone budget. Fast service and prompt. Great food recommendation. Very clean and bone soup was out of this world. Highly recommended if in the mood for something extra ordinary. Will visit again.
