Look, do yourself a favor, walk into a Marie Callender's order a pot pie, and then a slice of their…read morepies, and then ask yourself why you've been spending a crazy amount of money at this place. The food here is over priced and lacking taste. The pastry they use for their pot pies and sweet pies is like eating card board. Don't get me started about their use of canned vegetables and what appears to be powdered potatoes, and if they are not, congratulations on recreating powdered potatoes while using real ones. I'm guessing there are a few nursing home residents who enjoy them. Finally for choosing their restaurant to spend your hard earned money in, they reward you with a 3% charge when you use a credit card, which restaurants have always absorbed as a courtesy to the customers who choose their restaurant to eat at. I've worked in the restaurant industry for over 50 years. When you start nickel and dimming your customers every time they eat at your restaurant, when you are already treating them to the cheapest food products, let's face it, are you actually still in business? Sorry, but we are done with this place!

Prior to the renovation, I enjoyed their build your noodle bowl station, their salad station (yummy shrimp salad), and their grill station. Post renovation, I tried their sweet potato fries. It's cut criss-cross style and a good snack at $1.99 per order. They're also open for breakfast and snack time. Looking forward to their soup on Fridays -- it's some variation of a type of seafoodish chowder. =)

I highly recommend Uraban Plates in Pasadena for a healthy freshly made meals. The only recommendation I'd leave is to improve a bit outdoors seating area

I recently visited Urban Plates in Pasadena, near my office. It's located in an area with lots of…read morerestaurants, so don't confuse it with the restaurant across the street called Urbane Cafe. We also have an Urban Plates in Long Beach, and I have to say they're very consistent with their restaurant layouts and overall experience. This Pasadena location was especially beautiful. I loved the décor throughout the restaurant. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and quick to serve us. We dined in, and our food came out surprisingly fast. I ordered a kids' steak plate, and I appreciated that the staff didn't question or refuse my order. I know some restaurants don't allow adults to order from the kids' menu, but it's the perfect portion size for me. The steak was cooked medium as I requested, very tender, and the potatoes were nicely seasoned. They don't offer steak sauce, but I asked for the chimichurri instead, and it worked out. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return to this Urban Plates location.

Finally got to check Yang's Kitchen off my brunch list! The restaurant serves Asian fusion cuisine…read morewith fresh/locally-sourced ingredients in a bright and welcoming space. They don't take reservations for brunch, but they have a Yelp waitlist you can join ahead of time. There was only around a 15 min wait for us when we went on a Sunday for brunch. Service was friendly and attentive, and the dishes we tried were all delicious and thoughtfully prepared. - Cold sesame noodles - so yummy and flavorful! The sesame sauce was so good and nutty and the chili crisp added a nice extra kick. A big portion size so great for sharing too - Breakfast plate - comes with your choice of protein, so we got the grass-fed hanger steak. I love their take on the hash brown - it was hearty and thick with a delightfully crispy exterior - Cornmeal mochi pancake - was so excited to try this one! Loved the mochi texture with the cornmeal flavor, and it was not overly sweet or heavy. Very sharable! Parking: there's a nearby parking structure with free parking as well as an open parking lot directly behind the restaurant

I've been here before, but was told by my friend who comes here frequently because it's one of her…read morefavorite places that I had just ordered the wrong things. So I returned and deferred to her ordering, and so glad I did! We got the cold sesame noodles, squash and kale salad, and mochi pancake, and some sort of mushroom/egg dish. My favorites were the first two, all ingredients were super fresh and well seasoned/dressed. Go early as there's typically a wait.

Brains require a lot of energy to function, so it's no surprise that the main Caltech dining hall…read morehas a vibrant array of delicious items to please the palate. Food: You can get pretty much anything you'd want here ranging from pizza to Mongolian BBQ. Each station has some sort of ridiculously nerdy name that adds to the dining experience. I'm going to go through all the options one by one, so bear with me: Bunsen Burner (Grill): This place serves piping hot breakfast in the morning and transitions to choice cuts of meats in the afternoon. They seriously have a butcher's delicase in the dining hall. How sweet is that? Deli Epicenter: The Epicenter is the to go place for some sandwiches. Never tried it, but the line is always ridiculous, so it must be at least decent. Salad-Fusion: The salad bar is priced at $0.39/oz. Not super impressive as the selection is fairly small, but it holds its own. Each plate comes with a baked roll. Wok Zone: This is the Mongolian BBQ station. The product that comes out of here is entirely dependent on your ability to mix the sauces correctly. Sometimes they'll randomly throw weird items into your food that you didn't want like corn. I don't know why. Maybe there are some passive aggressive employees who hate their job behind the counter. The amount of food you get is astronomical. Pizza-Byte: Super good pizza at a reasonable price with loads of crazy options to choose from like Ranch Bacon Chicken. Comfort Equation/Latin Bar: These are the two stations in the middle of the dining hall that serve the absolute best things on campus. The Latin bar frequently has tostadas with really great meat offerings. They like to serve seafood paella loaded with mussels and calimari (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fp2H4dCbkZO52RrmFqzSVQ?select=S8Xc9TtSZsLoU5taZzN5Wg). Comfort Equation frequently has dishes like spice-crusted grilled chicken, Asian dishes, salmon, etc. You can load up on these items (some are priced by weight, some with a flat amount) and then get healthy sides like rice and steamed veggies. Bandwidth Bakery: Has baked goods... most aren't super awesome. TechTonics: This is a glorified soda fountain with coffee. The name is much more awesome than the actual station. Soup Station: It's soup. Sushi: Also self-explanatory. Cooking 101: Ok, this one is pretty special. They serve absolutely delicious pasta here, cooked to order. Some of the meats include chicken, sausage, and meatballs. You can get red, cream, or a combo of sauces. They'll often experiment with different dishes like pho on occasion. I would stay away from the pho, though. It was watery and tasted nothing like the real thing! Service: It's a dining hall so you grab what you want and pay at the front in cash, credit, or Caltech card. There's an area in the back to return your plate etc. that a lot of people forget about. Atmosphere: It's a typical dining hall experience, but at least they have pomegranates, artichokes, a large array of citrus fruits, and strawberries growing outside. I think they sometimes use those in the food. Synopsis: Pretty cool, although with the swipe card option you can easily spend over 10 bucks for lunch and not even know it.

5/15/26 What a great find! Blossom Market Hall San Gabriel, Ca. It has been hiding in plain sight…read moreas we drove by on our way to Old Ferry Donut, I noticed this space and it intrigued me so we stopped on by afterwards. This reminds me of Haven City Market in Rancho Cucamonga, except this space is much more intimate, smaller, where locals hang out. It is vibrant, trendy & full of choices for snacks, coffee, boba, baked goods & also a multitude of cultural foods (Mediterranean Filipino, Mexican,Thai, Korean, Caribbean, ETC). Communal tables available for indoor & outdoor dining. The 2nd floor (elevator for disabled access, stairs as well) space is quieter for work or study & events too. I forgot to photograph the stage where a small play or a spot for presentation is also available. Artwork is posted on the walls by local artists practice their freedom of expression. So neat! Staff at various vendor stalls are very friendly & open to share their passions to customers. Met the pastry chef from Baking With Ish, Ishnoel from Mindanao, Philippines and the barista/cashier, Jacqueline at Lotus & Bean, they're genuinely welcoming. I could see myself coming by to be a regular here. I really LOVE the concept. Restrooms available for both floors, clean. Parking is free. Come check it out!
