    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.

    Mixed feelings about Tokyo Chick. We stopped in right when they opened on a Saturday, were the only…read morecustomers in the establishment, and both my husband and I agreed it overall wasn't a good experience and we won't be back. The good: The people working at the counter were very friendly and welcoming. We took a while to order, and they were patient and courteous. They gave our kids free little light up chick toys that they absolutely loved and kept them entertained while we waited for our food! The bad: - The reason it took us so long to order was because they were seemingly out of half of their menu items. Everything we wanted to order was out of stock, so we settled on boneless chicken with fries and chicken gyoza - Something very important to note is that they primarily serve dark meat for the boneless chicken. Dark meat can have a pink/red color even when fully cooked. We had several pieces that looked so red that we didn't feel comfortable eating them because it just looked unappetizing how red it was and I didn't feel fully certain it was cooked because I don't carry around a food thermometer lol. But no one in our party got sick, so I assume it was cooked? I honestly don't know. -When we arrived, they were playing very loud, very explicit hip hop. I love hip hop myself and it would have been fine if our kids weren't with us, but with kids it was just kinda weird to be listening to very explicit lyrics at 10 AM lol. It wasn't just normal hip hop, it was like the extra explicit cut of some SoundCloud rapper. Eventually they changed it to very loud country music. Just weird vibes either way

I only ever order takeout from this location and there's definitely things that could be improved. The location is on busy Colorado so parking is a nightmare. The workers here have absolutely no sense of urgency. Often I've been the only customer picking up and the speed of service could only be described as "meandering" to find and hand me my order. As previously mentioned, there's no issue with the food. It's juicy and flavorful. But there's inconsistencies like sometimes I get the side radish and utensils but other times not at all. The attitude of the workers you interact with are that of someone who has absolutely no pride in their work and are simply tolerating customers. It would go a long way to improve this location if workers were trained to do everything as efficiently and quickly as possible. The cost is also astronomically high for chicken. A whole chicken is $31 before any taxes or fees. It's not competitive with other Korean fried chicken places and you have to imagine part of the cost is due to the location. I would be sad if this branch closed, since it is closest to where I live, but it wouldn't be a shock that it did close. There's a lot of low hanging easy changes that could be made. Better training from management, more local deals, and focusing on customer service.

Lightly fried with a moist and lightly sweet interior. We also tried an order of Papas Huancaina. The potatoes were perfectly tender, and the sauce had a nice little kick without being too much. Service was impeccable. People constantly checked on us on the patio. The World Cup was playing on two flatscreen TVs on the patio and two flatscreen TVs inside. Everyone here is happy!

    Man, I really wish someone had put me onto this hot chicken spot sooner because I've been missing…read moreout. This was easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time. The seasoning was packed with flavor from the very first bite, and every bite after that just kept getting better. The chicken had the perfect crunch on the outside while staying incredibly juicy and tender on the inside. It honestly felt like it was cooked to perfection. What really stood out was how balanced everything was. Sometimes hot chicken places focus only on the spice, but here the flavor comes first. The seasoning complemented the chicken instead of overpowering it, making every bite memorable. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving because the quality shines through. This is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to, and I already know I'll be bringing my guys that hoop with me because they're always asking me where the best chicken sandwich is. There are still a few things on the menu I need to try, but if they're anywhere near as good as this sandwich, I know I'm in for another great meal.

    Only tastes good if spicy. The plain one doesn't have much flavor at all. The giant chicken…read morepieces are totally misleading because the batter is super thick (like two-thirds of each piece of chicken), not to my liking. The spice profile reminds me of Howlin Ray which I dislike also. ONLY thing I like is their fries. The 'orange sauce' is good too but a good fried chicken needs no sauce. (Another reason I dislike Korean fried chicken and Raising Canes because they're all about the sauce game.) Get yourself to the supermarket and pick up a Banquet "Nashville Hot Chicken" frozen dinner...your wallet and tastebud will thank you!

    Nine & Nine is a small Thai restaurant on Colorado in Pasadena, with very generous portions of…read morefood. I stopped by here around 7PM on a Sunday and thankfully was able to find street parking quickly (bonus--parking was free on Sundays). The menu is pretty simple but has all of the Thai standards like noodles, curry, and rice dishes. I opted for the Pad Thai, which was delicious. It came with chicken as well as two pieces of shrimp, and the portion was very generous. The food also came out in around 10 minutes, which I was very grateful for as I was pretty hungry when I ordered. The cafe is fairly casual and there were several people picking up takeout orders. Most dishes were under $20 which I think is very fair in this day and age. Definitely looking to return and trying some of their other dishes (fried rice looked good, maybe I'll try that next).

No…read morefrills, with just a handful of tables inside and some patio seating but the food is consistently excellent. Their daily lunch special (11am -3pm) is one of the best deals around for only $14. It comes with your preferred protein entree, a side salad, white rice and your choice of 2 egg rolls or chicken potstickers. My favorite is their cashew nut chicken, extra spicy. The beef and broccoli is great too. The food is always flavorful, fresh and the portions are generous. They have a great menu with a lot of appetizers, soups, noodles and your favorite Thai dishes. They have a nice list of dessert options including mango sticky rice and homemade coconut Ice cream. Online ordering is available too but service is always fast and friendly. Street parking is no longer free in Pasadena as of 2026. Lots of paid parking in nearby lots. This is a must try spot for authentic and affordable Thai food in Pasadena's playhouse district.
