“When you want the best Crispy Chicken you've ever eaten, Top Restaurant is your answer. They have an extensive Asian menu with authentic home recipes. All items are made fresh, as you order. To work here, you must be a family member. They guard their recipes and preparation techniques carefully. They take personal pride in every meal that they create.\n\nThese are a few of the meals that I like to order… mixed BBQ chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, spam rice, fried rice, spring rolls, gyoza pork, beef and chicken. The hamburger and the cheeseburger are exceptional here.  The menu is so varied that I think I could eat here everyday for 6 months without repeating a dish! \n\nLocated just east of Allen Avenue, in a small shopping area. The parking lot is always available. I am usually able to park right in front of the restaurant. I like to call ahead and order. They are extremely busy some days and times. \n\nI enjoy supporting this great family enterprise!“

“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.“

“One of my fav sushi spots in Pasadena & I’d say we only have about 3 or 4 of them. I’ve been in 3 times so far and I’ve always had the same server, she’s really friendly and attentive. The Chirashi lunch special (in photo) is spectacular! The fish is so fresh and when you open up the bottom compartment, there are pickles and some other fish bits bits (?) inside. It really is so good and if you love fish, you CANNOT go wrong w this order. It’s also a very generous portion. This is probably something I’ll stick to because when I tried their rolls I wasn’t nearly as impressed. Their rolls were good but nothing memorable. I’ll continue to go back and order sashimi and the chirashi bowl though.“

“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.“

“Ok. So I have to start out by saying im not a big fan of sushi. Im your typical California roll or fried sushi. Having said that this place changed the way I think about sushi! I always wondered how real Japanese sushi would taste and I have a feeling this place is certainly close to that. I had recently watched a documentary on Netflix and how this one place in Japan you just trust the chef to serve you delicious 😋 sushi! Well this is place does the same and boy it doesn't disappoint. I've never had salmon melt in my mouth like that or had sushi rice taste sooo good. And the ginger ! Thats real stuff

I would highly recommend this place. Will certainly be coming back.“
