The smell of the food they were cooking smelled so delicious. It was hard to not want to try the food. Sean had explained the menu to me since it was my first time going there. Joey (owner cooking on the grill) recommended sweet heat croissantwich they have that's not on the menu. A customer in line had chimed in how they had done a collab with Gooey Center cinnamon rolls and they put a maple sausage in the middle. I had ordered a few sandwiches but was only able to try the sweet heat croissantwich. This was amazing it was a crunchy yummy goodness that I can't explain. It wasn't spicy and you can taste a slight sweetness. It was the perfect bite each time. I had also ordered a hashbrown on the side. It was so crispy and it didn't need ketchup or anything else. I can't wait to come back soon to try the breakfast burger which they're known for and the S.P.E.C sandwich. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich sounded pretty popular as well. I believe the smash burgers is what started it all but you definitely gotta try it for yourself.

I tried the Kalua Hawaiian Plate and a poke bowl with crab, seaweed salad, and ginger tuna. Everything tasted fresh, and the kalua pork was tender and flavorful. The surprise standout for me was the Uala Mash. I've never had anything like it before, but it was so good. Creamy, slightly sweet, and tasted very authentic. Definitely a great new addition to the neighborhood.

This location of Stinkin Crawfish is located in Old Town Monrovia. There are a few public lots and…read morestreet parking throughout the area. I was already in the area and when it was time for dinner I was walking around to see what looked good. I was so excited to see Stinkin Crawfish. It was weird though because I went to the restroom to wash my hands, and when I came back, they gave another group the table they gave me. I picked a different table, but I thought that was odd. After a quick glance at their menu I saw that they had Happy Hour is Monday to Friday from 4 to 6:30pm. It was a bit pass 6pm so I put in a Dozen Oysters (HH $15 | regular $33) while I looked at the rest of the menu. Ugh regret. These were SO BAD!! First off, the majority was not shucked, it was still attacked to the shell. I turned to the table next to me since I saw they had ordered oysters and I asked if theirs were shucked, and they said some were and some weren't. Oh goodness, so inconsistent. Then they also warned me that they got charged regular pricing instead of happy hour pricing. Also they didn't give me any utensils... so I had to go grab a plastic fork myself cause no staff was in sight and I had to scrap these oysters off their shells. First one not good. Second one, I drowned it in marinara sauce, still not good. Third one... SO BAD I SPLIT IT OUT... Fourth one, ALSO BAD. Okay I don't want to get sit... I'm over this... I just set it aside and covered it with one napkin to indicate I'm over it. Honestly they can see there were many untouched if they wanted to ask me how I liked them. Maybe I should have left but I made the mistake of ordering more food. I ordered a Raspberry Iced Tea ($3.75). Can't really mess that up but I want to point out that no refills were offered my whole time there. I did their Build Your Own with 1lb Shrimp ($17.75), 1lb Crawfish ($11 when added on to an order), with the Make it Awesome ($5.75) which is 1 corn, 2 potatoes, 3 sausages all in their Garlic Butter Mild. Okay... garlic... butter... can't go wrong right?? Well I'm wrong wrong wrong. I don't know HOW they managed to serve me the blandest cajun meal of my life. I am beyond baffled. I see the garlic. The color looks like butter. Definitely not mild, more like zero spice and zero seasonings. Even the limes they gave were dried out and bitter. My theory on the bland garlic was that it was prepped and frozen for so long it lost its' flavor. The seafood itself didn't taste fresh either. Bleh. It really needed a better sauce to mask the musky taste. Oh and the sausage was BURNT. Sigh. I think service tried to be nice. They did come and ask if I needed anything else. But honestly I didn't even want the food in front of me, let alone anything else. At the end they provided complimentary dessert to every guest. It was like a deep fried oreo with a scoop of ice cream on the day I went. The dessert was good. Just nothing else. Oh wait for it... when I got the check, I was also overcharged for the oysters, ringing up at $33 instead of the $1.50/oyster HH price being $15. The waitress was surprised and she even expressed how that happened to another customer (I know) previously and she had asked "him", who I assume is a manager or boss, to fix it in the system. Sigh... Apparently he didn't. The portions were fair, the pricing is fair... WHEN THEY RING YOU UP CORRECTLY. it just tastes bad. Low production quality. Maybe they are able to keep these prices by buying low quality product. Regardless I DEFINITELY won't be coming back. This meal, or rather the stuff that was edible, is not worth the calories. I rarely give 1 star reviews but I almost considered it... but no one was mean and I didn't get sick (because I spit up the bad oysters and stopped eating them). This is such a generous 2 stars review for the mess I had to deal with.

The market is usually packed and every booth has a line, especially the popular ones. The Workaholic booth was quite popular, with a moderately long line. As I waited to order, I considered the options before deciding to go all-out with the 3 mandu (Korean dumplings) combo which came up to around $20. I got the spicy pork and kimchi, coconut curry chicken, and beef bulgolgi mandu. The dumplings come in a bowl with a bed of house salad mixed with sesame dressing. The dumplings are huge in size and the skin is a bit thick. However, the meat stuffing inside is juicy and flavorful. The dumplings are noticeably greasy, but the salad helps with that. Overall, the dumplings make for a great photo and that's probably the biggest reason to get it. The flavors were good, but not good enough to warrant the expensive price. I probably wouldn't order them again, but it was try.

Was signed up for this run by my sister and at first I was a bit disappointed because I had other…read moreevents I wanted to attend and couldn't because this run starts at midnight. The run ended up being super fun and memorable. You have the crowd that's camped out for the rose parade cheering you on and the regular club goers and bar hoppers just out and about. I would recommend getting down to the area before 9 pm, as they close the streets off after that time and you may not get access to the parking structure and have to park far. We got there right after they closed the street to turn into the parking structure but one of the crowd control volunteers graciously let us through. As for the run, the temperature dropped but we were still warm from running, They give you an hour to complete the run and we were able to finish in under an hour. We were required to wear a wrist band that we picked up 2 days earlier in order to get wine after we completed the run. They never checked for wristbands and you could easily walk up and grab a small plastic cup with this but they gave you literally a sip of wine and nothing more. By the time we got to our car and home it was almost 3 a.m. but I had all this energy and couldn't fall asleep right away. Great way to run into the new year and get your first workout in. One last thing, we got there early enough to catch 3 floats going down the street which was cool to see up close. Definitely recommend this to everyone it's tons of fun, you feel accomplished and you get a really cute medal and a discount at Lulu Lemon!
