    Quesataco Combo
    Rickey S.

    Came on a Saturday evening around 6pm. Plenty of parking next to its taco cart in its alleyway and there's also street parking. When I arrived there were about 2 of 4 of the tables occupied and I was the only person in line. My order of two birria quesataco combos were ready in less than 10 minutes. I would definitely come back. The tacos were flavorful and consummate was tasty. There's a side table with sauces and sides.

    Birria Master is located on Rosemead Blvd and they have their own parking lot. You can also park on the neighboring streets if you pass the lot. I enjoyed the ramen and quesataco. They accept card and cash. There's 4 tables outside for dine in. There's also a side cart to get self serve sauces and sides. Prices: Quesataco Combo$16 Birria Ramen $18

    I thought this was an indoor restaurant when I looked at the photos but it is actually a trailer with seating set up. So if you think you missed the location look for the flags on the street. You turn in and there is some parking in a lot or on the street. I really loved everything here! The birria is soooo delicious! The queso tacos were full of flavor and the soup is just so warm and tasty as well! I will definitely be coming back to this spot!

    The guy there is super nice and cooks everything fresh! The consome is very flavorful and rich. The quesataco combo is the best value choice. There is a good amount of seating but it did get busier when I left. The tables are very clean and comfortable.

    There is a very small parking lot with one way in and out. Tables are also limited, but there is a lot more seating than your typical food truck! The tacos were absolutely delicious, and the staff were great. It definitely felt like a locals joint, they were greeting their customers by name. They were just setting up some kind of fresh juice situation as we were leaving, but I definitely want to go back and check that out! I'll definitely be back!

    There's a private lot that's small. But most folks would be getting take-out or finish their meal that it's not an issue of space. The whole area is outdoors but within a large canopy. The tables have colorful cloths and there's classic Mexican movies played on the background. It's great for hangouts for being out. The menu is short which is great to avoid choice-paralysis and they do their specialty well. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food arrives at a good pace. They have a toppings bar. I got the quesataco combo. Those were some of the best I've ever had. Hot fresh and really cheesy. I was almost burning my fingers to keep eating them (which was worth it). The addition of the consommé elevates the tacos with a nice kick of flavor. I even got a few sips afterwards just to have more. Definitely recommended. Worth a chance.

    If you are looking for the gold standard of tacos, look no further. Birria Master is officially in a league of its own. I've tried a lot of spots, but this is hands down the best ever. Here's why you need to drop everything and go: The Food: The tacos are perfection. The meat is incredibly tender, the consommé is rich and flavorful, and everything is seasoned to ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!! The Service: Often, great food comes with a long wait or indifferent service, but not here. The staff is attentive, fast, and genuinely friendly. The Ultimate Test: My baby approved! As any parent knows, if the little one is happy and eating, the place is a winner. It's rare to find a spot that hits the mark for both foodies and families.

    THE best birria in town! I've been coming to Alvaro and his team since the very beginning over 3 years ago, and the food has only gotten better. The queso tacos with connsomé are legendary and we love impressing out of town friends with them. There's always a spread of fresh salsas and accouterments, and these salsas are some of the best out there, made with roasted peppers so they're imparted with great, smokey flavors. Make sure to check out Birria Master's IG @BirriaMaster for hours and specials (they'll occasionally experiment with different meats and offerings such as lingua, seafood tostadas, cajun shrimp boil, etc). There's plenty of family style seating as well as parking in the lot and street parking. Catering services are also available so definitely inquire if you're looking to feed your folks at a party or gathering.

    i got the birria ramen and it was filling & the flavors were yummy! the only thing is that the picture was misleading and i thought it was going to come with an egg. definitely will be back for next time to try other stuff. parking: street parking

    I've eaten at Birria Master a few times and every experience has been great. The food always tastes wonderful and if I ever have leftovers they taste even better the next day. In addition to the amazing food, I love that it is a family owned business. I'm really big on customer service and I've had the pleasure of talking with both the owner and his lovey wife. I love the family feel of the atmosphere every time I go. They always take the time to stop and talk to their customers. I love their beef quesadillas and tacos. If you haven't tried it yet, I would highly suggest you do .

    YUMYYYY

    This is my wife's and I plates after eating here at Birria master. We found this place coincidentally after searching for other spots. We decided to give it a try and we have been here almost every week in the last three months . The consistency and the texture of the tacos the flavor everything about the preparation of the food has all the ingredients and mouthwatering flavors. This is the only location where my wife and I come to, and this will be the only place that we will come to from here on out.

The restaurant is bright, spacious, and welcoming, and the aroma of the simmering broth filled the air the moment we walked in. I ordered the Yuzu Shio Ramen with charred tonkatsu, which was fantastic. The char on the pork added a wonderful smoky flavor that complemented the light, citrusy broth and noodles beautifully. My coworker ordered the Beef Curry and Rice with a Vegetable Korokke and thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. One of the highlights of our visit was the Black Truffle Chawanmushi. It was absolutely divine! The silky steamed egg combined with shrimp, scallops, and the rich truffle sauce created layers of incredible umami flavor. Every bite was comforting, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. To share, we ordered the tofu and seaweed salad along with the garlic edamame. The garlic edamame is a must-order. The sauce was so flavorful that I honestly wouldn't mind eating a bowl of rice topped with just that garlic sauce. It was that good! Overall, the food was delicious, the service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out quickly. Sato Ramen House definitely left a great impression, and I look forward to coming back to try more dishes from their menu.

We tried the yuzu shio ramen and the karaage chicken curry rice bowl. The yuzu shio ramen was definitely lighter and more citrusy because of the yuzu, which I can appreciate, though it wasn't necessarily my preferred ramen flavor profile. I ordered it with chicken instead of pork, and I really appreciated that the karaage chicken came on the side so it stayed crispy and didn't get soggy in the broth. My partner really enjoyed the karaage chicken curry rice bowl. We also tried the tamagoyaki appetizer for the first time. Interesting flavor profile, but honestly it didn't really pair well with the rest of what we ordered, so we ended up taking most of it home and never really finishing it. Service was attentive and good, and the restaurant had a lively, active atmosphere with a steady crowd inside. Overall, a solid ramen place that's worth trying, especially if you enjoy lighter ramen styles.

I also don't like their chicken or chashu any longer and I always go with the tofu. Typical order for me is a Bold Ramen, Non-Gluten free, Go Green, Garlic's Best Friend, Give it a kick, with a flavored egg. If I'm extra hungry I will add extra noodles but their other appetizers such as their fried rice have never really wowed me, but hey, not for me. One thing that I do not get even though I am rating five stars is why they serve extra noodles immediately with your bowl of ramen. By the time you're done with your first portion of noodles, the second portion is a noodle brick that you have to pry apart in your bowl with your chopsticks. Ramen Tatsunoya handles "kaedama" wayyyyy better in the respect that it's to order and they bring it out almost instantly after you order it with extra green onions, wood ear mushrooms, etc. Tatsu definitely has the ability to pump out a bowl of ramen fast - so I know they could do this too with just a little extra care between front of house and back of house staff. Please consider it. Your customers ordering extra noodles will immediately notice a quality difference getting to eat fresh noodles!

Decided to visit and try out their Ramen - I have also been seeing their shaved ice on social media but didn't try it. The prices were pretty expensive for simple bowls of Ramen in my opinion, and we didn't really feel like eating a lot, so we just ordered the vegan Ramen and the silky Ramen ( around $18 for both?). Both of the ramens were pretty mediocre with salty soup and nothing extraordinary about the noodles unfortunately. Compared to other Ramen shops I've visited, Tsujita didn't stand out as excellent. The service was very nice but our food came a little slow. We did come during lunch, where there were a couple people. The restaurant itself is clean with seating and a nice vibe.

For appetizers we ordered the Takoyaki, chicken karage and our main dishes Deluxe Tsukemen x3. The Break down: Atmosphere: 4/5 They greet you as you walk in, which I sets the vibe. You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs. The sauce was tangy sweet kind of like teriyaki sauce. It was crispy but still so juicy and soft. HANDS DOWN GET THIS! Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal. I asked for more limes for my noodles 2x and both times they were quick. Made us feel very welcomed and checked in on us on a regular, which also reminded us of the service Japan showed us once upon a time. Overall: We love this place and we keep coming back with new people to share this type of noodle experience. Check them out im sure you will enjoy it. Lets just say we drove an hour to eat this. You def will not be disappointed :)

The…read moreother two ordered tsukemen ($26.50 for the spicy deluxe and $23.50 for the spicy chasu) and found it very salty because they chose to consume it not by dipping the noodles in the bowl of broth, but rather by pouring all the broth from the bowl into the noodles, trying to recreate a normal bowl of ramen. I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking.

HAKATA SET (Your choice of: Tonkotsu or Miso Ramen, comes with Mini Spicy Tuna Don, Chicken Karaage 2 pcs, Tsukemono) This was one of the set items for the lunch special. Chose the miso ramen. The miso ramen had a very strong white miso flavor. Didn't hate it, as I do love miso, but it was a little too much miso for my liking. Typical curly ramen and it was cooked well. Loved the jammy egg too. It was a soy marinated egg. There were also three pieces of chashu too! It was good, but slightly overcooked. The portion of the ramen was medium sized and was surprised they didn't bring a smaller size since it was a set meal. But happy they were generous! Spicy tuna don was a small bowl, but they gave a good portion of spicy tuna, which was delicious. Chicken karaage were two pieces of chicken and it was just okay. No tsukemono was served with the meal. Overall the meal was satisfying. I think the price was fair for what was given. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly and attentive customer service. No complaints! AMBIANCE / TABLES + SEATS Very calm and relaxing ambiance. It was quiet and no music was playing, which I liked. The restaurant was super clean and I liked how the tables were set. Large tables in the back and small tables were closer to the front. Bar seats on the side. It was a medium-sized restaurant, but the layout made it feel larger. Clean bathroom too. PARKING The closest and most logical parking spot was the one right across from the restaurant. School House Garage on 33 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91105. Rates: $1.00 first 2 hrs, $2.00 for each additional hour. $12 for the full day. I liked the set menu, it was good for the price and I would like to return to try their other lunch menu items, whether it would be a set menu or a la carte.

We came expecting sushi rolls, but they only offer hand rolls, so that was a little disappointing since rolls were what we were looking for.

They were a nice size, tasted good, and the staff kindly cut them in half for us, which we appreciated. The yakisoba, unfortunately, was much sweeter than I prefer and wasn't my favorite. Overall, the service was the highlight of our visit, but the food didn't quite meet our expectations, especially considering the price.
