Restaurants near San Marino

“It was my first time coming to Chapresso. I was really impressed that they used tea leafs to make the tea. The tea tasted great! They also had good service. The simple design of the place is inviting but the space is limited. However, they do have open sitting outside the shop.”

“We always enjoy tea at the Gardens. Not only do we get tea for a reasonable price and great food but we also get to tour the lovely gardens afterwards. This is a regular event for us and looking forward to many more times with friends, food and setting.”

“I love this cafe. The chicken salad is so good! My friend always loves the grilled short ribs. This is also our go to spot for fluffy pancakes. The matcha one is perf! The cream is very matcha-y. And the pancakes are perfectly cooked and so soft, fluffy and jiggly. Cannot recommend this spot enough!!!”

“The blueberry pancakes are delicious. The eggs Benedict is tasty as well. The Macha is sweet so I asked for 50% sweet only but that's only because it's my preference.”

“Such great food available here I will definitely recommend the ginger duck fried rice! Such an amazing dish, ad well with the orange chicken. And the drinks here are so refreshing, especially during a hot day!”

“I’ve been to the DTLA Arts District location so many times, so I was shocked (in the best way) to discover this one so close to home. The space is modern, clean, and has a cool vibe — though I still lean toward the unique Arts District atmosphere. What really stands out is the pizza: same incredible quality as DTLA. Blindfold me and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The only thing to keep in mind is that pizza by the slice can add up — if you’re thinking of grabbing more than two, a fresh pie might be the smarter move. Either way, I’m thrilled to have another amazing spot nearby!”

“Always a great dining experience with great service. Kanpai!!!”

“If you haven't been to the The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens for a while... you may not realize they now and growing have 5 different locations to eat within the gardens. Noodle house in the Chinese Gardens, Tea house and patio Cafe in the Rose Garden area. Tea Room now allows you to make reservations on Open Table. Cafe 1919 has a great variety including the Border Grill, Sushi and much more. ... Its all a great compliment to the Fine Art ,gardens ,research and events.... Not a member - The Red Car Cafe and 1919 Cafe are towards the entrance and can be enjoyed by the without entrance fee to the gardens in a great relaxing setting .”

“I had pizza, garlic twists and spaghetti and meatballs. So authentic, and seasoned to perfection!! Planing my next trip already with my cousins!!!!”

“Need a perfect spot to chill x coffee? Cielo is the place. It's a new and spacious coffee shop in the heart of San Marino. Its Latin inspired menu and perfectly brewed coffee drinks makes it a good addition to the neighborhood. Similarly, they offer wine and beer for customers. And a free wifi.

The UNIT B's former two vendors were also coffee business shops - sadly they didn't last that long. Hopefully with Cielo would last longer. I came early Sunday morning to try their breakfast: chicken pesto sandwich and cafe de olla. Food was good and coffee was perfectly brewed. Prices seem fair. Staff was professional. Service was on point. Street parking and a rear parking lot are available.

Overall, it a chill coffee shop.”

“Delicious food, great value, family owned business, friendly staff, food is much better than the pictures… it’s not a dine in restaurant but they specialize in take out”

“Always a great place to sit talk and redirect I had a productive visit”

“Red car is a nice little coffee shop that conveniently located at the Huntington library (right by the entrance). They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Except drinks and pastries, I'm glad that they also sell Fosselman's ice cream, sandwiches, yoghurt parfait, fruits and snacks in the store. They opens early at 8am, and drinks and food are allowed to bring into the Huntington library.”

“Super yummy!! Fresh and exquisite”

“Good food,good price, will always go to this location over the one on Valley Blvd in Alhambra👍🏼”

“Always fabulous. Great takeout, wonderful items for home or gift giving and just plain delightful to meet friends for coffee and a yummy muffin! ❤️👏🎶👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I love coming here! Great food, friendly service and family run. The village is so charming.”

“We like to go for birthday breakfast, today could have been better.”

“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!”

“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!”

“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.”

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!”

“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.”

“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?”

“A tiny Portuguese restaurant in cypress park owned by a really nice guy, Mike Santos. Now it is small, but it is great. It is always super clean and they have great Portuguese food. We just love it. Whenever we are near there we stop for dinner.

You can make reservations or just walk in. It is not usually too long a wait. There is a lot of comfortable outdoor seating which is great. They play great music and now and again they have live music.

Their bread is the best. I could just have that and be happy, but I always get their pork because it is just perfect.

Start with their WEISER FARMS SUGAR CUBE MELON. It is so tasty.

Their ARROZ DE PATO CONFIT DUCK LEG, with BOMBA RICE, SOFRITO, CHORIZO, and DUCK CRACKLINGS are so good and they give you a large portion. You can share or take extra home. Their SUMMER EGGPLANT, with SCALLOP VINAIGRETTE, AGED CHEESE and PEPITAS, SUNGOLD TOMATO is so good.

There is nothing you will not like. They have nice selection of beer and port as well. Have fun.”

“love the Quality of Food😍😍😍”

“Food, service etc was good. Maybe because it's Michelin rated so expectations were high accordingly.

The sake recommended were good, as was the food. Both cooked dishes and sushi were of really high quality”

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

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！”

“One of the best meals that I have had!”
