    Spicy Tuna Handroll
    Nick N.

    "Ah, Maki Yaki's spicy tuna hand roll--a culinary masterpiece that boldly asks: 'What if pink slime had a second act?' The filling oozes out like it's auditioning for a low-budget horror film, and I couldn't help but wonder if this was the Taco Bell of sushi rolls--cheap, unapologetically messy, and vaguely edible after midnight. The seaweed wrap is doing its best to hold things together, but much like my hope for this meal, it's thin and crumbling. If you're looking for an adventurous dining experience, this roll is a dare, not a meal. Proceed with caution (and maybe a stomach of steel)."

    This is my second review of this place and last time sucked but this time was different and much better. There was a new person working today and she was more human and actually a friendly person. Our food was really good so I will go back again.

    Ahhhhh ; disappointment ..... :( . Came here hoping 4 stars or better as previous Yelp reviews ; but it did not live up to 4 stars . If it wasn't for the super nice cashier lady ; this would have gotten a 2 . Everything was just mediocre - the spicy edamame was not spicy at all ; the beef was more like ground beef - not usually like that . The onion rings ; bad , the sushi fish was not great either . But the biggest turn off was the skin still attached to the salmon sushi; like come on ; clean the salmon properly . Overall - disappointed .

    As much as I could eat and I was hungry too.

    I ordered 2 rainbow rolls and apparently the guy just stopped at a supermarket and bought prepackaged "sushi". Not only that, but it was the worst prepackaged sushi I've ever had. I paid $60 for total BS.

    Goes back to her phone as soon as she finishes an order.

    Heard of this place in the top 5 list for LA Pastrami joints and I've never been. Was in Pasadena…read moretoday for work and happened to see the sign - YO had to roll in for an early lunch - 11AM. Service was fast on both ends. Place is clean as a whistle, even the Johns. Wowzer! I've never heard of a pastrami sandwich dipped before. Fantastic twist on what's normally a Jewish Deli experience in LA, with beautiful sliced meat, maybe add cheese (Swiss of course) and deli mustard. THIS is NOT that type of sandwich. Very thin sliced, maybe more like shaved pastrami. Bread fresh - I assume baked there? Dipped. Wow. That's all I had. Nothing else. Folks were ordering fries and burgers (they looked good). I kept it real first time and did the classic Highly recommend. Top 5, OK. Tough to beat the classic deli style sandwiches (I won't name them you know) but I'd be back here again no issues.

    I am extremely disturbed by what I witnessed tonight at The Hat in Pasadena while having dinner…read morewith my family. At approximately 8:00 p.m., I personally saw an employee come out of the bathroom wearing gloves and carrying two bags of trash, which appeared to be from the bathroom. Without changing his gloves, he then picked up two of the towels used to wipe down the tables and proceeded to wipe down almost all of the dining tables. He also wiped down the counter area where customers pick up their food. The employee was wearing a hat and black glasses. I was sitting there watching this happen, and I honestly could not believe what I was seeing. Handling bathroom trash and then immediately cleaning dining tables and a food pickup area with the same gloves is an extremely serious sanitation concern. I am writing this review because management needs to be aware of what happened and address it immediately. Proper glove changing and sanitation procedures are essential in any restaurant, especially when employees are moving between bathroom cleaning and areas where customers eat and pick up their food. After witnessing this, my family and I will not be returning. Someone in management needs to take this seriously and make sure employees are properly trained on sanitation and food safety procedures.

    Sandwiches by Connal is a Pasadena institution and an essential stop whenever I am back in my…read morehometown. I have such fond childhood memories of going there with my parents and grandparents and receiving what seemed like foot-tall soft-serve cones. They also make the best malts, terrific burgers, and excellent deli sandwiches. The pastrami on rye and grilled cheese are dependable favorites--or you can splurge on a classic banana split. Add fries, with or without chili, and you have the perfect old-school meal. When I was growing up, they called what most people know as a chocolate-and-vanilla twist a "ripple." That is still what I order--and what I call it--wherever I am in the world, even when people look at me funny. Whenever I am in Pasadena visiting family and friends, a stop at Connal's for a ripple, shake, burger, and fries is practically mandatory. Some places serve food; others hold generations of memories. Connal's does both.

    I ordered a typical salami grinder. I have had done this for 30+ years+…read more Today there was no menu to-go, no menu inside the restaurant, and no available menu online. The salami was processed, not dry. It came with a major portion of yellow mustard (not requested), tons of finely chopped wet lettuce, no cheese. Horrible and soggy. I would have requested my money back, but it was a to-go order. The quality of the entire restaurant has gone, and it seems no one cares, as this has been going on for over a year. Inside the restaurant, the tables were empty and unclean. The wall decor sign for the restaurant, was broken and meant nothing as it was missing the store name. It was an icon restaurant, but now broken, and terribl.
