Food Scene

12 minute train to China Town, 15 minute train to Japan Town, 2 minute drive or 15-minute bike ride to Rose Bowl. Close to some of the most authentic Asian food in the US (aka Monterey Park).

Absolutely fantastic restaurant and a welcome addition to South Pasadena. It has an open kitchen and the ambiance is delightful. It is two stories with a bar downstairs. Great for special occasions!

Octopus tostadas and scallop tacos are the best here. All fresh and authentic. The grilled fish burrito is wonderful (if you don't specify they will have it deep fried) so specify grilled.

Great breakfast and lunch place. Relaxes environment and a nice staff. They bake their own breads. I eat their smoked turkey with brie sandwich once a week.

Essentials

Very good quality affordable organic foods and the staff are super helpful and friendly. The produce is always fresh and so is the meat. They have an amazing flower selection too.

This is an awesome close-by museum to take little kids (2-5) for the sane private play area and older kids to the whole indoor and outdoor space. It's like a mini Exploratorium.

Drinks & Nightlife

This pub has all the beers on tap you would find in an actual bar in Ireland: Smithwicks, Guinness, Harp. They even got the ambiance of an Irish bar right: dark wooden wall paneling and cushioned wood
