“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“Went today because we’d heard this place has amazing food. There’s a reason they’re called “Top Restaurant.” Not only is the food delicious and fresh, but the people we met there were so kind and welcoming. Must-try spot if you’re in Pasadena!“

“Great food at good prices“

“Great food and so friendly service.“

“Angelenos have been debating this since time immemorial, so I’m happy to put it to rest: the best waffles in metro Los Angeles are at Russell’s in Pasadena. Also they validate parking. I can’t sit here and look you in the eye and tell you I value parking validation as much as I do delicious waffles, but middle age makes a confounding creature out of all of us and so here I am saying it’s darn close. Anyway, if you’re looking for waffles near old town, or if you’re somewhere else and have a reasonable means of transport to Old Town, or if you’re just sort of having this debate theoretically and have no practical waffle-procuring intentions, Russell’s is your spot.“

“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.“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“Owner employs his son who violently abused his girlfriend on the job here.. stay safe and do not support.“

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“I’m not sure how this place hasn’t received 5 stars in every review?! I had the goats cheese baguette with fig butter and prosciutto and my hubby had the roast chicken. We arrived 30 minutes ahead of closing on a Thursday and despite the fact they looked to be clearing up we were welcomed warmly and enjoyed the BEST sandwiches we’ve had! Do yourself a favour and go see for yourself!“

“I am visiting from Massachusetts and THIS place is THE BEST for quality, portions, price and friendliness of staff!!! and also the nice location, seating options (inside or balcony outdoors!) sunny!..geat mountain view!..casual and super clean and organized! A+++++++ my 2nd day here in a row for breakfast and the coffee is EXCELLENT & large cups too! ❤️“

“The Braised Beef and Mushrooms with Mashed Potatoes . Mashed potatoes were so creamy I could had eaten a whole bowl of it by itself but Beef and mushrooms Just took it to whole other level“

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

“A Hidden pizza place on the second floor. We would have completely missed it if it wasn’t for the sign on the street. We noticed a lot of people coming in for pick up but decided to dine in. We picked the Biggio flavor and the pizza came out in 20 minutes. First bite was delicious. The sauce is tart and flavorful. The crust is chewy and light. Meat was crispy and plentiful. The price for the quality is amazing and in my husband words, “bomb”. We wish we found this place sooner and will definitely come back.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Henry Parsons Project! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was friendly and attentive, and everything felt thoughtfully put together. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. A great spot for a relaxing meal, and I’d definitely come back again!“

“Found Monta Factory last year. My waistline has suffered ever since. Sarkis just jams out perfection in a dumpling. The dough is crispy the filling is flavorful and the tomato and yogurt are both delicious. The Su Boreg is crispy and flakey and tasty as well.
If you go here, just go ahead and get the large. I got a small once and regretted it. They serve Salmon Sandwiches, but whenever I stop by, I can't force myself not to get the dumplings. They have a vegetarian option too.
Sarkis the owner is very nice and welcoming and knowledgeable about the food. I am not Armenian, but I am definitely a convert to Armenian Dumplings bc of this place!! Treat yourself.
This is a no frills spot that focuses on doing 2 or 3 things perfectly. They have a few little tables outside if you can't wait to get home!
You can also buy frozen and reheat at home.“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“Its open and they really made sure its safe , service and food perfect . Happy days“

“We ordered our wedding cake from Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen. Using the cake testing kit was a great experience—it came with a lovely personalized note, and was a great activity to do together while planning our wedding (and provided us multiple evenings’ worth of dessert!) The staff at the store were always friendly to interact with, as well.

Ordering was very easy and straightforward, with prompt and efficient communication. We ended up using one of the example designs on the website, and it came out looking wonderful. The cake had layers of chocolate and red velvet cake with mocha buttercream icing and hazelnuts added between the layers—we highly recommend this combination!

We tasked a family member with fetching us breakfast on the day, and coincidentally they happened to visit Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen for that as well—so thank you also for some delicious breakfast baked goods!“

“This is a really neat historic spot, a craftsman home bulit in the 1800's in S. Pasadena repurposed into a restaurant. The vibe is cozy and welcoming. It's like your meeting with friends at someone's home but with professional service, where everyone can just relax and enjoy each other's company. My first visit was with a few girlfriends years ago for their happy hour which runs m-f, from 4-6pm. Since then I've come back for their brunch, and recently dinner. All visits have been memorable and exceptional all around.
They are known for their craft cocktails. My friend had to drink called Latina Medicina and substituted vodka for tequila. It was a citrusy, refreshing drink, beautifuly presented with a large square ice cube, which apparently takes 3 days to make. My husband had the Alien Pool Party cocktail, also refreshing and very fun! We had a lot of laughs with that one. So if you've never been here and are looking for something different, then I recommend you give him a try.“

“Old-school charm and service, elegant dining, live jazz piano at the bar. Been coming here for years and it’s still a super treat. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I’m big fan of wood fire Pizza. Finally a halal spot. MashaAllah pizza is amazing. I love the crust. And the pizzas are light, so we got a couple options for me and my family.“

“As vegans, we have been to countless cafes and restaurants. ID Eclair is THE BEST of the best. Amazingly delicious, pure, fabulous vegan food!“

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!“

“Love their selections of foods not too much not less just right and not complicated. My tummy is full and happy soul 😊“

“This was our first visit to El Metate. I was impressed with all the menu options. The service was excellent , and the food was delicious.“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Excellent customer service and food!“

“Salad was tasty . I’ll be back to try burgers they looked amazing .“

“It was delicious and my waiter was awesome.“

“First time here. I ordered the Steak chimichurri sandwich. It was delicious. Had lots of flavor. My kid had their pizza, and we're very happy with it as well. All in all it was good experience for my first time. Will definitely come back and try a different meal.“

“Love all the options and fresh deliciousness!“

“Omg the portions are huge!

I couldn’t pick so the lady who took my order helped me choose and I got the peanut butter chocolate brownie flavor (I think). But anyways it is huge, and the ice cream is rich but at the same time didn’t taste too sweet at all. I was having a rough day, but now I just feel happyyyy.

Loved the ice cream and the vibes, will be back for sure!“

“My family and I frequent a lot of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants, whether it's a sit down restaurant or takeout--and Sahara might just be the best we've ever had!

We heard good things about Sahara and decided to check it out yesterday; and it exceeded expectations.

I had the beef kebab plate, while my mom and brother had the chicken kebab plate. We loved how they had complimentary snacks (olives, cheese, and cucumber) and also that the plate came with either soup or salad. The meat dishes were so flavorful and honestly the best we've had at any restaurant. They gave a lot of meat too; 8 pieces for each dish. The baba ghanoush was also great.

Last but not least, Mary, our server, was extremely pleasant and attentive. We can't wait to go back!“

“Amazing!! Atmosphere was incredible, food was delicious and the wait staff impeccable!“

“I'm in love with the chocolate chip cookies here they are so delicious I can't explain the level. lol the ice cream is amazing! especially the cookie monster! heavenly delight!“

“Salad Dressing is amazing. Parking is horrible. They said 10-15 for my order. 25 minutes and I got a $52 Parking Citation🤬🤬🤬🤬“

“Always an amazing time here. Been coming to this location for years now. Service is second to none and food is delicious.“

“My daughter took her dad here for father's day. It was a great vibe, we sat outdoors, they had tv so he could watch the word cup. The food and drink orders came out in pretty quickly. I had the wings in hot honey bbq, my husband had the meatball sub which came with fries and our daughter had a 10 inch pizza, which took longer but the freshness, flavor, and quality of the meal was there.“
