Restaurants near San Marino

“We were so delighted to be able to bring family members to have traditional tea at the Rose Garden tea room. The server was very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and kind without being an obsequious. The food for the tea was amazing with creative flavor, combinations, and presentation and really good choices for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free in addition to the traditional menu. The atmosphere is very delightful both inside and out; however, it was very hot outside and we would have requested inside seating for the benefit of our elderly family members if we had known that they were both inside and outside. Also, it is a little pricier than some other traditional teas however, it is it a lot of food. It’s worth the experience!”

“This place and never went in until a couple days ago and I got the rancheros sunny side up. The flavors were really good. I thought it was a little bit too white sauce the tortillas all the flavor was delicious. The staff was exceptionally attentive and I was just taking out. They gave me a lot of attention, which is pretty nice. Don’t see that anymore. We got a cup of coffee, which is really good and took it home far away for breakfastmaybe share with your friends.”

“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!”

“Chapresso is a tiny boba tea shop in San Marino. They have breadth selection of fruit teas and milk tea boba. And it is the only tea shop in this upper middle class city. I came to grab a hot Jasmine Pekoe Green tea which is a high-quality tea leaves , often younger leaves with fine hair (pekoe). Its flavor was smooth, mellow, slightly sweet, with fresh fruity undertones.

Prices were fair. Staff and service were cordial and on spot, respectively. Indoor and outdoor seats were very limited.

Overall, I liked my tea at Chapresso. I highly recommend them.”

“Excellent variety of choices for yogurt, soft serve and toppings. They have no sugar added and honey available as topping with fresh fruit like berries and green kiwi.”

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

“This is a hidden gem in the city of San Marino. Hidden amongst the tall trees along Huntington, you’ll drive right past it if you’re not paying close attention! Nonetheless-this place is clean, fresh, and friendly. The food is solid and the Cantonese tastes are spot on. It is the type of comfort food that will keep you coming back.”

“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!”

“What a peaceful and beautiful place! I went early around 7:30am and got myself a crunch A Latte and Chilaquiles. Both were sOOO good! The barista is a sweetheart! I didn’t feel rushed while I was looking at the Menu since it was my first time (Definitely not last!) that coffee woke me up! I love that they have outdoor seating.”

“Everytime I come, I get a coffee and a pastry!

Apple pie Muffin: 7/10 - exactly what you’d expect. More muffin than apple though! Very moist though! Not dry.

Coffee cake: 10/10 - If you like sweet coffee.. get it! Not dry at all!

Caramel macchiato: ice: 5/10- it’s okay. It was more watered down for some reason.

Vanilla latte: 7/10 - it’s what you’d expect!

They ran out of whole milk so we substitute it for almond milk.

Price: it’s high but I come once a year so I still come!

Interior: it has seating and could get crowded! Theres lots of seating outside!”

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

“I got the Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea and Osmanthus Jelly as the topping and it was soo good. Slightly less fragrant than Chagee, but they make up for it with the topping. Really good and I'd come back. The manager though could be friendlier.”

“The Freshwater Pavilion is a wonderful addition to the Huntington Chinese Garden. The small tea house sells an assortment of Asian snacks, drinks, teas, boba, and grab-and-go food. Its location offers plenty of outdoor seating next to the garden's beautiful lake, with a view of the Suzhou-style pavilions on either side. It's the perfect place to enjoy the gardens while having a quick sip of Milk Tea.”

“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 ?”

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

“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!”

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

“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.”

“Wonderful experience. The chef was friendly and entertaining and prepared the most beautiful omakase for us. I keep ingredients- kosher and the chef was easily able to create a menu of only fish with fins and scales for me on advance request. He was careful about cross contamination too.”

“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.”

“Sawa is easily a top-10 restaurant in my opinion. The chef deserves a star. The entire experience went beyond my expectations, truly outstanding. I had so much fun dining there; the environment is friendly, and every bite was delicious. The host was spectacular, especially for suggesting we split the sake pairing, for someone who doesn’t drink much, it was more than enough. I’m already looking forward to coming back.”
