“The friendly team here keeps this place top tier. The decor in here is wonderful and well thought out. The staff here is very welcoming and the owner is here too so he definitely makes sure what you get here is quality and on point. Perfect spot for meetings or some space away from home to get some work/study done.“
“From the start Cailyn was super helpful, incredible customer service. As a family that smokes at home we had high expectations to which they did not disappoint!Dino rib, brisket and Mac n Cheese were exceptional!The atmosphere was great, the restaurant was clean, although they didn't have waiters, the staff was helpful.Thank you Cailyn and the awesome guy with the cute hat for all your help! :)Definitely we're returning!“
“Great Pan Roast. The dining room has 40 seats, a bar, or sit at the chefs counter to watch the steam kettle chefs cook your food without having to go to a Palace train station in Vegas. Plus, we didn't have a wait on Sunday at 3pm.Parking: Plenty of parking, plus there's an underground lot.“
“I came to Lazy Dog on Saturday with my friend for brunch, and we had a great time. I ordered the Fire Cracker Shrimp and Chilaquilles, and both were AMAZING. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice as well. I definitely plan to come back.“
“This place is pretty good as far as hot chicken goes. It's not the best but it's decent, I've ordered from here plenty of times. But Rays is still at the top. They don't really have much of a space for sitting in and dining. So if you want to eat you need to go down one of the nearby alleyways and sit at the tables there.“
“You will never know it's Vegan.. the taste is exceptional!I ordered the burger with Gouda, and a side salad..I'm no longer able to eat red meat for health reasons, but I was craving a juicy, meaty burger. Let me tell you, this hit the spot!!The "meat" was cooked perfectly, and all the fixings were on point.I also ordered a side of onion rings. The burger was definitely the star of the show.Thank you Modern Shaman.Parking: Free garage parking right around the corner, and 2 hour street parking during the day. Free after 6pm.“
“What a great find this was. Everything we had was just wonderful. Cioppino, corn bread, the wedge salad were the perks. We weren't big fans of the fried chicken or the potato chips. They were a little bland tasting. Our server was Anthony and he was amazing. Always attentive and friendly. This place is definitely worth a try.“
“I would rate this restaurant 10/10 , from the great service , yummy hot coffee , BOMB carne su jugo !! This place is it ! I've gone to a few other local restaurants but this place by far is my new favorite! My husband got the Birria with consome and 2 huevos , delicious! Thank you guys we will be returning:)“
“Great place to hang out. They have an awesome selection of beers, cocktails, and wine. They have mocktails for the kids too. If you like board games they have plenty to pick from but you can also hang out and play D&D or watch streamers play on their tvs.The food is a hidden gem. I've tried almost everything on the menu and my favorites are the Mac and Cheese, sweet potato tots, and the cheese board. Pork sandwich gets an honorable mention as well.Kid-friendliness: They have mocktails and lots of kid friendly games.“
“These burgers are very good. The food is made to order. From burgers, fries to chicken wings. This place is good. I've had a few different burgers and they don't disappoint. The chili cheese fries are good. They don't have an indoor seating area which is needed. The outdoor seating area is small.“
“Love this place. If you want to get the Boba bear combo special, you have to eat inside so get there right when they open. All the food is delicious. Everything is beautifully served. Service is friendly. Best recommendation is to get there right when they open. Beary good spot!“
“Had to update. Can't even update the STAR reviews if I could I would update them 2 stars I've been coming here since they opened, and at least 2x a week, love their food n service but the prices in last year have gone up by almost $5 each item. That's why I cut back n only go once a month if anything or less. I use to spend at least $60 a week there. Now prices have tripled and just not it anymore. Shouldn't take advantage of price hikes that everyone else is doing like rents, gas, food, etc. Smh“

“Wow, Bonjuk and Bibimbap is awesome! My only regret is not knowing about this place sooner. I can see why it’s one of the most popular chains from Korea. The restaurant was clean and modern looking inside, and the food was phenomenal. It was a healthy, lighter option compared to some other spots in the area. Our server was also super nice.We ordered the mushroom + bulgogi bibimbap and seafood pancake. Both were absolutely delicious, and I look forward to coming back again soon.The chicken ginseng soup was also very healing and tasty! There was some dates, rice and green beans in it which was a nice touch.“
“So I'll start off by saying..it should be mentioned that this is INSIDE the Lazy Dog restaurant. If I didn't read deeper into the reviews, I would've been walking through the mall aimlessly trying to find it. Walking into the restaurant, it was packed to the gills, which you can expect for a Friday night. The hostess informed me for quick service to order by the takeout area. The gentleman who took my order was kind and quick to assist me. Since there was going to be a wait, he offered me water, and I accepted. I ordered the Chicken Katsu bowl, which is delicious. It has all the ingredients that are mentioned. I am not one for condiments, but the dressing was pretty good. Whomever created this should definitely update and mention that to enjoy the food you'll have to enter a more than likely packed restaurant to enjoy. Other than that this is a great late night option for food.“
“My dear friend from work and I go way back in the late 1990's. We had lunch a couple months ago to catch up on old times. It was a nice catch up... thank you my friend for your wonderful company and spending time with me! We didn't have any Pasadena restaurant of choice so we just walked down the street and happened to see Takuya Japanese Restaurant. It's a very small place with just enough space to probably fit about 5 to 6 tables. It's cute and cozy though. Nice place to take a date, but the people in the neighboring tables may hear your conversations... you may want to be discreet when you profess your love or not LOL. My friend ordered the Beef Bowl and I got the Salmon Plate plus an appetizer with Mackerel. I really liked my salmon... cooked nicely and flavor was on point. Mackerel was a tad salty IMHO, but had good fish meat... watch out for the bones. My friend said her beef bowl was good, but she would have preferred her egg on top in one piece and not scrambled into the bowl LOL. The miso soup that comes with the meals was very very good. Staff was nice and pleasant. It was a one person show so kudos to our server for keeping up with servicing all the tables. Thank you! Prices were decent. Ambience was cozy. I will definitely be back to try their other chicken and seafood dishes the next time I'm in Pasadena. Happy Takuya'ing!“
“Drove by this place a lot while we went shopping at Good Fortune Market across street. My husband is a big fan of pan fried buns so we decided to check it out. Before came here, I looked at their menu and it had extensive and authentic flavors for dumplings and pies. That’s how I knew they were legit!!We came on a rainy Saturday around 11:30am there were only two other tables. I feel on a nice day it would be busier.For food we got:- pork scallion pie (5/5). Wowwwww a must try!! It was so juicy and flavorful. The outside is perfectly crispy. This is our favorite and we definitely will try other flavors next time.- pan fried chicken mushroom dumplings (5/5). I love the dumpling skin as you can taste the slightly chew and that’s how you know it’s handmade!- cucumber salad (5/5). Very refreshing and balance out the richness of all the fried dumplings.- pan fried bun (4/5). This is probably my least favorite although it’s still pretty good. It doesn’t have much juice as I thought it would like the pie. So I’ll stick with the pies next time.No fuss service. You order via QR code and food comes out around 10-15 minutes. They have a sign to explain the 15 min wait due to all handmade to order which is well worth it!! This has become our new go-to for weekend brunch.“
“By far one of the most authentic Taiwanese restaurants I've been to. I say this because they've nailed down classic dishes you'd find in Taiwan. The oyster pancake was spot on along with the sauce. Service is pretty fast. Definitely come here for delicious Taiwanese comfort food!“
“Newly opened in Rowland Heights for Dumplings and Shao long Bao. The menu is limited for pan fried dumplings and Shss as o long Zbso but it was tasty. The dipping sauce station was cool. Ready made sauce and you can mix your own concoctions. Clean and spacious and the staff is very nice and accommodating. Will come back and try other dishes.“
“I don’t know what some people were complaining about. The sandwich is excellent ( we got medium heat), the fries are top notch, and price is so reasonable. For 16.99 you get a decent pile of fries and two good sized sandwiches. Totally worth it and I hope people start frequenting it more so they can stay in business.“
“Food: 4* Service: 5* Ambience: 4* Located in a strip mall, right next to a bar. The place appeared to be family owned. Service was great, helpful and friendly. The menu was a melange. A mix of Mexican, and Asian, and a little unfocused. I had the Aguachile de Camaron (Shrinp in spicy green sauce, raw). It was really good, spicy and ample. I would return.“

“I was staying at a friends house and asked if any of his local places did proper wholesome food and he recommended here! He also said it was family run, which a major plus for me, as I like to support such places if I can.We went along and after a fun chat with the waitress, placed our orders. We had soup and salad for starters, with absolutely delicious bread!Then we had Beef Pot Pie, with mashed potato, greens and thick gravy (Just like back in the UK). I have to say, it was delicious and I never thought I'd be able to have a pie and gravy in the states, like back home.This was all finished with ice-cream and I have to say the Mint choc chip reminded me of the equivalent Viennetta from home. The taste and texture, identical, which was good.Overall, the experience was excellent and the food hit the mark perfectly. I wish we had a similar place back in the UK near me.“
“It was 11:30 am on a Saturday morning. It was very crowded upon arrival but waited 40 minutes for a table. We ordered our food and it took 20-25 minutes to get our waters. Kind of annoyed, as it was hot outside, on the patio. The long wait was probably my only complaint. I ordered the classic pancakes with scrambled eggs with a potato side. My friend ordered a skillet dish. The food came out on bright blue plates and the pancakes were so fresh. I'm literally obsessed!! Hehe. The eggs were cooked well and everything was delicious. We met "Auntie" as she came to our table and said some really kind words. I asked if she was the manager and she corrected me and said, the owner. I'm Auntie! That's sooooo cool! My friend and I will definitely return when we visit Whittier again!!!“
“Order online super quick. Park my car and pick right up. Reasonable price and great food. Napkin and water and condiments are available which is rare nowadays when most business try to nickel and dime customers. Just a little crowded at times but good for business.“
“Got Abuelita's pie and it was alright. I liked the main chocolate part & crust. Didn't like the whipped cream and the food was pretty pricey at $7.99/slice... Service was friendly and there was a clean place to sit. Not a place I'd go out of my way to visit, but it's there if you like pie. Money-wise, I think Wanderlust Creamery (ice cream) in the same indoor plaza is better bang for your buck.“
“i love the sweet potato fries here, they have a little sugar coating on top :] its a pretty nice place to have some snacks and hang out with friends :]Kid-friendliness: there’s like 2 board games here? and a small seating area for kids (pictures taken)“
