    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

    Quesataco Combo

    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.

    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.

    Seating and Truck

    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.

    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.

    Beef quesadilla

    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.

I ordered the Koku Extra Chashu, which was the chef recommended ramen, and while it was solid, I personally found it a little lacking in flavor compared to some other ramen spots I've been to.

The space itself looked lively, active, and welcoming, which made me want to come back and actually sit down and dine in next time. I'd definitely give it another shot and try a few other dishes because the atmosphere and service alone made a strong impression.

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.

I would definitely recommend this place.

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 :)

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.

    Osawa is 100% worth the hype, and if you haven't heard of it, let me hype it up for you…read more The place is small so be prepared to wait if you're trying to go on a Thursday-Saturday, or show up when they open for lunch or dinner. Ambiance is super cute, love the little flags over the sushi/shabu bar and the art on the walls adds to the Japanese restaurant feel. The aroma when you walk in is mouthwatering (I was really hungry) but it doesn't smell fishy like some sushi places can. Staff is unbelievably great, super friendly and helpful if you have any questions about the menu or want recommendations. Don't be afraid to ask what the MP is on omakase, they totally work with what you're looking to spend or based on how many pieces of sushi you want to eat. Now for the real reason to visit Osawa: the food is absolutely amazing!!! Fresh, tasty, perfectly portioned. From the shishito peppers appetizer to the sushi, sashimi, hand rolls, and shabu; I cannot recommend this place enough! They have plenty of sake options to pair with your meal as well as beer or specialty cocktails if that's your preference. They offer to explain your order when it arrives which is great for those newer to sushi or just trying something different. Seriously, some of those fish practically melt in your mouth. I personally haven't ordered any rolls yet but they absolutely look delicious. If you're looking for a good sushi date spot, this. is. it. It's also good for a small group, maybe up to five or so before you feel cramped. Shabu is seated at the bar and their meats and veggie are delicious and fresh, enhanced by the tasty broth. It's even good on a summer day because they have solid air conditioning. Cannot say enough good things about Osawa. Go try it for yourself. :)

    I had been a longtime customer here for about seven years, but I stopped going after getting food…read morepoisoning from fish here in March 2025. After more than a year away, I decided to give Osawa another try on May 8, 2026. Unfortunately, the experience confirmed why I had stopped coming. Around 9:02 p.m., my waiter came by to ask for last orders. I ordered chicken karaage. This is a simple dish that usually comes out in about 4 to 5 minutes. For whatever reason, the order did not arrive until around 9:26 p.m. -- almost 25 minutes later. It seemed obvious that the order had been forgotten. When the karaage finally arrived, it looked hastily sauced. Several parts of the chicken were unsauced, which is not how the dish was normally served in the past. Given the delay and the apparent mishandling, I did not touch the dish. A Japanese male manager wearing glasses then came over. He recognized me, and I explained that I had not been back for more than a year because of the food poisoning incident from fish in 2025. Instead of responding seriously, the manager smiled and giggled slightly, then launched into an irrelevant conversation about his connections in the Japanese food industry in Old Town Pasadena. When he asked why I had not touched the chicken, I explained the almost 30-minute delay and the problems with the dish. Rather than comping the item or offering a real apology, the manager asked whether I still wanted to eat it or would prefer to cancel it. He then ended the conversation by suggesting that I come in during weekday lunch for the $18 lunch specials. That response was bizarre and tone deaf. I did not return after a food poisoning incident to hear a sales pitch about lunch specials. I returned as a longtime customer giving Osawa another chance. Osawa's way of doing business has changed a lot. I've seen better customer service at Erewhon.
