    California lobster roll and lobster bisque
    Adam A.

    IMPRESSIVE! I am always in Maine and have never found any lobster roll on the west coast that even comes close. This place had a California lobster roll made with Sriracha. Delicious! The lobster bisque was equally impressive. I highly recommend

    Its located inside a small plaza located in Pasadena. This plaza has a very small parking lot. When we first walked in, an aromatic smell greeted us before the staff. Everything smelled so delicious! The staff greeted us and guided us how to order. The interior is cute and small. Very vibrant, casual, and they were playing music over the speakers. The menu can get $$$. If you order anything with lobster, it's best to consume it the day of and not have it as leftovers for the next day. Also, the amount of lobster that you get with your order is justified in its price. We ordered to go and got a few different entrees. Old bay cheese fries: when you order to go, they separate the cheese from the fries. My husband didn't realize the cheese was missing from the fries until he saw the container. I think that was great thinking on the restaurants side. The fries had a little spice kick to it, but the cheese sauce smelled and tasted amazing. Best item in our order. Lobster tacos: If you're a fan of American style like Baja fresh, the tacos are healthier, then these are for you. These tacos are not like Mexican styles, so be warned. Lobster grilled cheese: this sandwich was HEFTY! It is a lactose intolerant person's nightmare because of how much cheese was in it! The bisque was very aromatic and was delicious to eat the day of. I didn't finish this so I saved it for leftovers. I couldn't eat it; lobster became too chewy. My husband finished it. Lobster spaghetti: traditional spaghetti with lobster meat. Nothing special except the presentation was spectacular. The lobster tail was used as a garnish and the meat was not attached to the tail. Church filled with caramel: must be consumed as soon as possible for it gets hard after a while. It wasn't too sweet considering the church was filled with caramel. Overall, this isn't a place we will frequent often because of the cost, but we do plan on returning.

    Soft Shell Crab Sandwich

    My group came here for lunch because we were looking for a sandwich place in the Pasadena area. My sister found this restaurant on Yelp and we all wanted to try it since loved the lobster rolls we had while visiting Washington DC last spring. The lobster roll that I ordered was alright, but I am do comparing to a rather high bar that was set when we went to a seafood shop in Maryland that also specialized in lobster rolls. The other item on my plate was the clam chowder. I really wanted to like it, but I mainly wished it was a tad thicker. The flavor was totally fine, though. The best portion of my combo plate was actually the fries! They were seasoned very generously and were super crispy. Overall, this was a decent lobster roll spot for this area since there aren't many around this area (that we know of).

    Connecticut Lobster Roll
    Jacky S.

    Stumbled upon a hidden lobster roll shack in Pasadena called Ry's Poke Shack, and wow -- what a find. The place was spotlessly clean, the staff were genuinely friendly, and right at the entrance you're greeted with Top Yelp awards, which immediately sets the expectation high (and they deliver). We ordered both the Classic lobster roll and the Connecticut-style. The bread was warm, crispy, and perfectly toasted, the lobster was fresh and generously portioned, and nothing felt overdone or skimpy -- just balanced and done right. The sides paired perfectly with the rolls and rounded out the meal nicely. The tatertots and fries were crispy and satisfying and well seasoned! Highly recommended!!

    Cali Truffle Roll - with 3oz of extra lobster meat. Yummy!
    Nicole C.

    First time I've ordered from here and it was delicious! Ordered the Cali Truffle Lobster roll with extra lobster meat for delivery, and it absolutely hit the spot! The flavors were fun and exciting, with generous, meaty chunks of lobster that made every bite satisfying. The roll itself had great bread - soft and complementary without overpowering the star ingredient. What I loved most was being able to enjoy this messy, hands-on meal in the comfort of my own home. There's something special about being able to dive in without worrying about making a mess at a restaurant. The extra lobster meat was definitely worth it - plenty to enjoy throughout the entire roll. Overall, a delicious delivery experience that brought restaurant-quality flavors right to my door. Would definitely order again!

    Fries
    Nevaeh G.

    I came in today with my boyfriend to grab some plain buttered lobster rolls, fries, and clam chowder -- everything was amazing, truly 10/10. The lobster rolls were packed with generous portions of lobster and even came with a side salad, which was also delicious. The clam chowder was very creamy and flavorful. Prices were great and very reasonable for the quality and portions. The food tasted fresh, the staff was kind and welcoming, and the whole experience was great. I would definitely come back!

    Lobster Maine with fries
    Wil W.

    The place is quite cozy. Nice ambiance and decor. The service of host was on point. Very helpful. The food was ok. Good flavor for clam chowder. I wished there would have been some seafood meat in it, though. The lobster Maine roll was just ok. I wasn't a big fan. The fries were just fries. A bit overcooked and no flavor. The Connecticut roll was just ok as well. There was plenty of parking. One out front and a huge public parking lot in the back.

    Jessica Y.

    The restaurant is located in a small Plaza. Has a parking lot. Easy to get parking. They have indoor seating. We tried a crab roll, lobster pasta (seasonal item) and came with side of bread. Everything was delicious! Staff was very nice. Similar to what other Yelpers say a bit pricey but food is great!

    Connecticut Style Lobster Roll (8/10) Lobster bisque (6/10)
    Christy C.

    Ordered Uber Eats and it was delicious but pretty pricey! Got the Connecticut Style Lobster Roll ($23.95) It was pretty small but was packed with big chunks of Mane lobster and garnished with green onions and mayo! This was 8/10 The lobster bisque ($9.90) was just ok, nothing special. Just tiny bits of lobster and not much lobster taste. It was pretty mediocre and pretty salty so I wouldn't recommend it. This was a 6/10 They have a good variety of lobster, shrimp, and crab rolls but expect to pay $20+! Can't decide between crab or lobster? No problem! They have the "Clobster Roll" ($22.74) and you get the combo of both worlds! Unlikely to return but it's an ok spot for first timers!

    Lemon Pepper 12 Piece Wings
    Heidi P.

    Located in a small lot but very friendly staff and they have a few tables inside. We planned on taking to-go at 7:45pm but they invited us to enjoy our meal dine-in, much appreciated! We ordered a signature roll combo with the maine roll, a side of fries, and clam chowder. They even let us try both the clam chowder and lobster bisque, and ended up serving us a half portion of each because they tasted so good. Their mac & cheese was decent and their lemon pepper wings were nice and crispy. I recommend getting one of their house lemonades as well. Overall a bit pricey but service and food was great!

    Maine style lobster roll combo
    Melanie L.

    Located in a small plaza and very pricey, but so good. I got the Maine style lobster roll combo for $29. I think it comes with more fries than the regular order! I was told the Connecticut style was more popular, but that the Maine was more flavorful. (Thanks for the suggestion from the cashier). I got the clam chowder with it and it was also good. Not the best I've ever had, but still good and generous with its portions of clam and potato. My MIL ordered the lobster pasta and I took a bite. I have to say it's probably one of the best ones I've tasted. Rich with lobster and very flavorful. The other ones I've tasted have been more light and a bit bland in taste. Service was actually amazing here. The cashier made good suggestions, was on top of bringing us water and overall very friendly. Not many tables to sit at, but cool little spot.

    French Fries Clam Chowder Cup Connecticut Style Lobster Roll
    Rachel B.

    Unfortunately the lobster roll I ordered was the least special part of this meal, as it tasted slightly overcooked and dry. The fries were delicious, and the clam chowder was super tasty and filling. I think I'll have to come back again to see if the lobster roll itself was a one time fluke, and next time order a bigger bowl of clam chowder!

    Maine Style Lobster Roll
    Faith D.

    Three of us stopped in for a weekend lunch around 2. Not a long wait at all. There's just a hand few of tables inside to eat at. You can order at the counter with a person or on their IPAD system, which was easy to use. Big chunks of lobster in our sandwiches (Maine & Connecticut) both full flavored deliciousness! Honestly I could have eaten two. We shared calamari and the breading was too thick for my liking. Next time I have a lobster roll craving I know exactly where to come.

Fish was good but service not so much. My friend went in before me because I was taking a video wanted to shout them out on social media but when I walked in the man looked up at me stared for a little bit and went back to loading the fish. I stood there looking at the menu he still never said anything. I finally walked over to my friend and asked if he acknowledged him when he came in and he said yes. I was ready to walk out but he wanted to stay. We decided on what we wanted and walked over to order and I swear it felt like he didn't want to hear what I had to say it was almost like I shouldn't be speaking let the man order and handle it. If that wasn't the case it's definitely the vibe I got. I asked him could he fry my fish hard he mumbled something and looked to my friend for his order. Guest what my fish wasn't fried hard......Lol Overall the food was good and prices were great but the service will keep me from returning.

The gentleman taking my order was kind, but overall service from order to take away was slower than I anticipated. I was sad as I was really craving curry goat, but apparently they sold out 10 min before I arrived, which was at 7pm. Not many places to sit and eat within the market or outside so that was a bummer. If they put some extra money into the market by sprucing up the aesthetics and adding more tables and chairs, I think that this place would do even better. I would recommend calling in your order ahead of time before heading over to save yourself the wait.

The restaurant has a nice, natural light filled space, and though it was busy, it wasn't too loud. It worked out well to go with two people so we could try almost all the options... - Scallop aguachile, avocado, salsa macha verde: Came with two shells, each with a little scallop, avocado, zucchini, radish, cilantro. Nice and refreshing to start. - Strawberry and vanilla French toast fingers, pistachio marzipan: A very generous portion of French toast with strawberry jam and pistachio sauce. Nice and crunchy crust. It was an interesting contrast to the aguachile first course! - Crab cake eggs benny: Two poached eggs on crab cakes. This was good, nothing unexpected, though I was getting pretty full at this point. - Summer berries, Scottish shortbread, white chocolate mousseline: This was the only dish we were disappointed by. The shortbread was pretty bland and the texture was lacking crispness. - Profiteroles, vanilla ice cream, strawberry ice cream, hot fudge sauce: Simple dessert but put together well. We both also ordered Purple reign cocktails, which went well with brunch. Overall it ended up being quite a bit of food and a good value for two.

After researching and making the trip to Pasadena numerous times, I never discovered the Pez Coastal Kitchen. I was here for lunch and walked into a small but impressive space, elegantly decorated, with both a dining and bar area. My seating was in the latter, not on bar stools, but at a table for two, because I was dinning solo. For appetizers, I chose the scallop aguachile. There were two small portions, each in a plastic shell, sitting on a bed of ice. While I am not fond of aguachiles because of the general overdose of citrus in them, this one really surprised me. While there were only small pieces of scallop, it had an abundance of small cubed cucumber pieces that provided the nicest contrast of crunch, juice and texture. The citrus was mild and well balanced. A wonderful start. I selected the fried fish burger for my entree. The fish was mildly battered, yet lightly crisp, to highlight the big pieces of fresh, flaky and moist fish that were literally, falling off the burger. It was a good stack, with minimum lettuce, tomato and sauce, so as to not take it away from the star, the succulent, perfectly prepared, flavorful fish. The bun was also well crafted, nice and fluffy on the inside, not dry, with a buttery brown on the outside. Easily one of the best fish burgers I have had. For dessert (the third course), I had to have the profiteroles with ice cream. One was with vanilla, the other with strawberry. Both came topped with dark chocolate sauce, that had hardened by the time of eating. A superbly assembled concoction, that provided the crackle and exhilarating mouth feel. I cannot remember the last time where at a Dine LA restaurant, all three lunch courses were so well presented and satisfying. One was better than the other. Overall, it was worth the drive, for an extraordinary dining experience.

I thought that was a bit odd, but I guess it was to detract from unwelcomed guests (i.e. homless people)? Anyhow, we were seated right away and sat by the window which was nice! We were given the menus, but I had to specifically ask for the DineLA menu which I also thought was a bit odd since it seemed like they wanted us to order off their regular menu. Perhaps this was just an oversight. For starters, we ordered 1 of each that was offered: Ceviche Carretillero - Refreshing and brought me back to time spent in Peru! I preferred this option Salpicon - This was also refreshing and reminded me of chicken salad mix in a bowl though not sure I would order it without it being a part of a prix fixe. For the main course, we ordered: Saltado Salad - This had minimal protein and was not so satisfying when compared to a traditional lomo saltado, but the protein that was there was yummy. Aji Gallina - I really was excited to see this on their menu since I love this dish so much and don't see it offered too often at Peruvian restaurants. Though the sauce was good, the chicken was VERY dry and hard to chew (overcooked) so it took a while to finish this. In lieu of desserts, they offered Maracuya (passion fruit) and Chicha Morada (purple corn) juices which were yummy but the star of the show was their sangria which was delicious especially on a hot day. My only complaint about the sangria was that we were charged for 3 carafes when we only got 2. Once we identified this, we brought it up and just went ahead and enjoyed the 3rd one since we had already settled the bill. That being said, always double check your receipt!

However, I can see it being a problem on busier days. Boston Lobster is definitely worth a visit if you want solid Chinese food at a fair affordable price. Really good!

    To be honest, I'm really not familiar with Spanish food and don't think I've tried it before. But…read morethis meal was so flavorful and delicious. We got the pan con tomato, the shrimp in wine sauce, the salmon in lemon caper sauce, and the papas bravas. The shrimp was okay, but everything else was outstanding. The salmon tasted very fresh and the lemon sauce was perfection, a lil thick and creamy lemon sauce. The potatoes in both the salmon dish and the papas bravas dish were cooked to perfection, and the pan con tomate had this perfect crunch to it. This restaurant is beautiful as well, whether you're inside or out in the alley at sunset where you get sky and Mountain View's and an alleyway lit with string lights. It's a beautiful setting. I would definitely come back and adventure to try more things on their menu.

    First time dining at Dos Besos. I always pass by but never had to chance until the other day. My…read morehusband called in advance to book outdoor seating since we have a puppy. We came during dinner time so it's not too hot. For the table, we ordered: Seafood paella Octopus with potatoes Anchovy String beans Tomato bread Burrata Bread pudding Arnold Palmer Waiter is nice but he kept forgetting to fill our water cups three times. I was so thirsty. Bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts and unfortunately bread pudding here is very odd. It's like pudding and I just never had it like this before. Definitely disappointed in the bread pudding. I cannot recommend. Everything else was delicious. Personally I love strong flavors so I kept adding lemon to the seafood paella. It was a bit bland for me until I added lemons. I love that there is a park behind the restaurant so I took my puppy for a walk afterward. And thank you for providing water for my fur baby!

They are known for: Special Lobster (A+) Beef Loc Lac (A) Clams with spicy sauce (A+) Chinese broccoli (B+) - depends on how thick or thin it is Pea shoots with garlic (A) Eggplant (A) Yang Chow fried rice (A) Reservations are highly recommended either by calling or thru Yelp. There are private rooms in the back on request if you have a larger party and seafood is always fresh as they have an aquarium with lobsters, crab, geoduck, and fish. The decor is charming with vintage trinkets along the side of the wall. There is a waiting area by the lobby and restrooms in the back of the restaurant. Since it gets so crowded and busy the restrooms could be tended better. Parking is available on the street otherwise you have to valet on the lot.

    To say that I have been planning to go to, Newport Seafood, is an understatement. It is considered…read moreto be one of the best destinations for fresh seafood, with the accent on Chinese cuisine. What has shunned me from this place, is the distance and the traffic, from the SFV. Finally, I made the journey. And arrived for lunch, on a weekday. To come here and not order their iconic Signature dish, the House Special Newport Style Lobster, would be a sin. Imagine a trip that was almost 40 miles and an hour of traffic (one way), with no reward. It was time to experience the real thing. The signature dish. Walking in solo, I was given a booth. I liked that. On seating, I ordered a beverage to quench my thirst, catch my bearings and breath. Almost immediately, the servers kept bugging me to order. The place was barely 1/4th occupied. Whats the hurry. After all this, I had to repeatedly tell them, that i had already spoken with a server, regarding my order. Just wanted to relax first, catch my breath, sip my beverage. Coming here, I was aware that their tank lobsters would be in the 4-6 pound range. Good for, and ordered by, at least 3-4 people. So when I, as a solo diner, ordered a 4-pound lobster (with no other choice), just for myself, they began to leave me alone and give me more respect. The cut up wok prepared, House Special Newport Style Lobster, arrives wonderfully presented, with heaps of leeks, scallions and jalapenos. My kind of recipe. Truly unique and exceptional. There is no sauce, and only a mild flavor, yet tasty. My biggest concern here was (after reading numerous internet reviews), that the lobster would be rubbery and dry. Not so for me. I lucked out. Problem here is, while there is lots of meat (a 4 pound lobster will yield at the most, about a pound of meat), they do not have, or provide, the essential lobster cutlery, to do justice to this beautiful crustacean. I did ask though. They did not seem to care and told me to use my fork. LOL. Steamed rice is complimentary. So is a soup, with sweet and sour, being the only choice (I did not like this). Either way, my plan was to take leftovers (there was a lot), home, where I possess high class lobster cracking tools. And thank heavens I did. They were most useful, to crack and dig into all the lobster meat, that would have been inaccessible at the restaurant. With additional TLC, the leftovers held up well, to provide several additional lobster meals. Need to go back to try their enticing and reasonably priced variety of lunch specials (more seafood, choices minus lobster). Another sought after box on my list, is now checked.
