Parking: Shared lot with other businesses. This is a to-go only location. I've been going here for several years now to get my musubi fix. I don't know if the ownership is new as the person who's recently been taking my orders has been a man and no longer the woman. Doesn't change that I still love the musubi here the most. To be fair I only ever get spam musubi and honestly that's all I really expected from here. Had some of their other plates and they were also great, the beef plate and the spam fried rice are another favorite. Good timeless location that serves great food at a great value. Definitely a lot more love and flavour than the "fast food" alternatives. read more

Yay!! I was craving katsu chicken for awhile and I came across this when I was looking for food recommendations in Pasadena. It's a small family shop, but luckily we were able to get in without a wait in line. They have a great selection of food options! I ordered the Katsu Chicken plate, while my friend ordered the spicy fried rice. The wait for the food wasn't bad, especially knowing that they make it fresh! Since it's to-go only, we took it to a park 15 minute drive away- and my katsu was still crispy!! I was so happy to eat it :D The chicken was crispy and not dry! I've never really had a lemon with my katsu but it was good still. The katsu sauce is more like bbq sauce though, to note. I enjoyed the mac salad! My friend's spicy fried rice also had really great flavor. Both of our orders had great portioning! Service was lovely, and parking was not an issue since there was a lot for it. Thank you! Will be back again in the future. read more

I finally had a chance to taste Top's fried chicken. I got there at 2:30 Sunday afternoon and ordered their signature fried chicken. The batter they used made their fried chicken very crunchy. It was good. A bit too oily. Most of the pieces of fried chicken were juicy and tender. The piece of thigh was tough on the outer part but juicy and tender on the inner part. Their fried chicken is good, not great. On my pecking order: it would be 4 or 5. DJ's rating: 3.80/5.00 Would I come back? Maybe if I feel like indulging on crunchy oily fried chicken. read more

Came here for the fried chicken as it's blowing up in the social media world. They always seem to run out as everyone orders it and the lines are a bit long some times. If you want a shot at the chicken, make sure to go early in the day, like at 11ish when it opens. I did just that and was able to secure my first order of this popular dish. Just FYI, they don't take phone orders for the fried chicken, but you're OK if it's anything else from their large menu. So how was it? Don't always believe the hype, especially if it's on social media. The portions are generous, the price point is good, but the chicken itself is not anything special in my opinion. It's kind of crispy mess and fried a bit unevenly where some pieces are just super hard and inedible. I found myself just picking apart pieces I could eat and tossing the rest. Flavor is ok, kind of like Hawaiian fried chicken, just a tiny bit salty. So yeah, go see what the hype is about. Maybe your experience will be different than mine. Just to note, the menu is large so try out the other items as well. read more

You will consider their crispy fried chicken to be the best tasting! They also have a variety of other Indonesian dishes, such as fried noodles (bakmi goreng). But they are best known for their fried chicken. Their marinated chicken is already very tasty and you should eat it without the enclosed sauce, which is sweet soy sauce. read more

This is a definitely a popular and busy neighborhood restaurant, which is takeout only. So far I have only picked up takeout of their popular fried crispy chicken, which is cooked Indonesian style vs. American style. Instead of being dipped in batter, it contains large, crisps on top of the chicken. It also comes with a sweet soy dipping sauce. I appreciate this mom and pop place. Service was wonderful and extremely quick. Personally the chicken was a bit dry for me - which as I say is my preference. I have traveled to Indonesia and know they cook their proteins well done. Just something to keep in mind. All the crispiness and seasoning you crave is there. I look forward to trying more from there. read more

Stopped by for a quick, late casual lunch around 3:20 pm and was pleasantly surprised by the Indonesian fried chicken. It's incredibly crispy, with a perfect balance of flavor, and the sauce adds a delectable touch. As an Indonesian, I can say this dish really brings a taste of home--comforting and authentic.

While the food was good, this is NOT a good value if you get the fried chicken. As of 4/25 - the chicken was $16 for 6 not particularly big pieces. Noodles were good. Again, don't go here for value. The people were very nice and remember that this is TAKE OUT ONLY. Wish there was a value score which be a 3 out of 5...but based on flavors, definitely a 4 star place. read more

Love it. Great spot for Hawaiian or Indonesian food. Only takeout right now. No inside seating. The food is bomb though. They have a big menu with your standard Hawaiian favs. Definitely a step up above regular Hawaiian chains. The loco moco is great. I also really like the Indonesian fried rice. Can't pass up the spam musubis either. They also have noodles and soups. So it's definitely worth multiple visits. Portions are pretty good. An entree filled me up. This low-key fatty approves. Service is good. Friendly staff. Easy parking in the shopping center lot. read more

I found this local place on tiktok when I was looking for hawaiian food in pasadena and I was not disappointed at all! I went in without any expectations except my raging hunger and i was greatly satisfied! We went in around 5:00 PM right before the dinner rush, so there was not anyone inside. It seems like a place where people call to pick up their order rather than ordering inside. what we ordered: CHICKEN KATSU CURRY (regular) -the katsu breading was perfect! it wasn't too oily or too crunchy that it would scratch the roof of our mouths. we were able to customize our order and got 3 mac salad scoops instead of two scoops of rice and one mac salad (nice!). The mac salad had perfect seasoning and wasn't too heavy on the mayonaise taste. OSENG OSENG BEEF -this was an indonesian dish the cashier recommended for us to try as it is popular! it was a bit spicy (not debilitating). In our opinion, there wasnt anything too special about this dish to make us want to order it again. The dish was a bit oily. Overall we really enjoyed our meal at this establishment! 2 boxes of food was the perfect portion for 3 people! I would love to try more dishes on the menu! The parking was easy and the food was cooked in an appropriate amount of time. Good service from the cashier! Support local small businesses! read more

A Indonesian Hawaiian restaurant? I have never heard of this until now and I am very impressed. They are known for their fried chicken. It's definitely a must order. Nice and crispy. Texture and flavors hold well. A no frills fried chicken. Juicy on the inside as well. With the soy glazed goreng dipping sauce. We also tried the Indonesian fried rice. Which was fried rice mixed with chopped noodles. Equally delicious. The short rib here was different. Not like your typical sweetness of a Korean marinated short rib. This one was more savory. Had a nice tug on the bone. Service was friendly. Told us it'll be a 30min wait due to lots of orders being placed. There was no inside seating. So we took the food to a nearby park to eat. I'm glad my buddy took me here cause I have never heard of such a thing. Recommendation: Fried Chicken read more

Peeps said I had to try their crispy chicken. I did. It was crispy, but greasy, regular fried chicken with a weird sweet BBQ sauce, which costs $1, if you want more than one. No ketchup or hot sauce. Main problem is I never seen such small chicken before. It felt like it was pieces from a Cornish hen. Price of $16 seem a little expensive for takeout only of 6 pieces of small chicken. read more

This place really has a fitting name because it has become one of my top spots in Pasadena! It's a local restaurant specializing in Indonesian and Hawaiian food. It's pretty small inside without seating, so everything is takeout. I ordered the Indonesian fried rice, and it was truly one of the best fried rice I've had. I think it was unique because there were bits of noodles inside. The rice itself was super flavorful and wasn't overpowering with any spices. There was a generous amount of chicken and the egg was cooked perfectly. For the price, it was a large potion, so it's definitely worth it. I'm definitely planning on coming back soon to try their other items on the menu. This spot is located in a small plaza, so there was a good amount of parking available. The staff was super sweet and they made our food pretty quickly. Very welcoming and excited to have you come. I highly recommend this place! read more

Crispy fried chicken is 10/10. It's legit! Chicken isn't too big so it's nicely marinated and fried to perfection. The meat just falls off the bone and the crispy bits is delicious. It's $14 for 8 pieces of chicken - same price as korean fried chicken and just as tasty. Indonesian fried rice is ok. Rice is a little hard and flavor is just sweet, but they give nice amount of chicken. And hey, fried egg on top makes it a luxurious meal. Spam musubi is a nice, cheap snack. Nothing special but it's not bad either. read more

The clerks who ordered and picked up the call were very friendly. Foodwise, we were quite disappointed. We ordered fried chicken party tray($83.99 for 36 pieces), family meal(chicken katsu, bbq chicken, Kalua pork with macaroni salad and rice). Fried chicken was so dry and hard (I had it couple years ago and it was crunchy and juicy). Kalua pork didn't taste like the ones we had in Hawaii at all. Chicken Katsu was ok nothing special. Macaroni salad was the best. When we were eating the fried chicken, we tasted an old oil smell, so we suspected they gave us left over and refried it. Anyways, we won't be back for their fried chicken anymore. read more

Crispy Fried Chicken is indeed worth the hype! It's off-menu, limited (45 orders a day), and delicious. The batter is light and crispy, meat is juicy, and comes with a sweet thick dark soy dipping sauce. For $15 for 6 pieces, we ordered it and brought it home to eat w our own rice and sides. Perfect for two people if you do that. The place is takeout only and the chicken is made to order (10-15 min wait). I recommend coming no later than 11:15am if you want to get this dish.

Small place with no dine in service, everything is to go. The lady that takes your order is very nice and welcoming. Gives you all the details about the food and wait times. They take card. I knew I wanted the fried chicken, but it took me awhile to choose a side. I ended up with the Indonesian noodles, they come with chicken as well. The noodles were ok a big portion but a bit bland. She did offer it spicy to me and I said no. Maybe it would've been better? The chicken is 6pc for a good price it is very crispy and just a bit salty but not where it's a complaint. When they give it to you they leave the lid open so the chicken stays crispy on your way home. It worked. Definitely going again to try more from the menu. read more

Gus's Famous Burger was one of my favorite burgers I've had recently. Ordered the potato salad as my side and couldn't have been more satisfied. I'd recommend any of these items if you're on the fence. I think it's important to review that we had all of this as a takeout order, so I can only imagine how much more delicious this would be if we dined in and ate everything right away. Gus's Barbecue is definitely going to be a repeat visit for us. There's so much more we want to try off of their menu. Can't wait to come back soon and dine in!

Ok, so my mom saw this place featured on a TV show, so we figured we'd check out what all the hype…read morewas about. Honestly, it just goes to show you can't believe everything you see on TV. They were out of the brisket -- the one thing they're known for -- and said more wouldn't be ready for a couple of hours. Not a great start. The ribs were overcooked and burnt, the chicken was just ok, and while the mac and cheese and baked beans were pretty forgettable, the potato salad was actually the star of the show. Needless to say, we won't be back... but you be the judge.

Sadly, I concur with the fellow yelpers in regards to the dryness to the bbq. I ordered a combination platter and all proteins were dry, chewy and required more effort than expected to cut into them. The highlight of the meal was the sides however nothing extraordinary or special. The service was below average. Yes, orders were taken, food was served but no sense of friendliness or kindness was felt. If I may be so bold to say that I noticed that service was not commensurate amongst all patrons and deviations were observed.

Unfortunately, we were surprised by a few unexpected charges. We later realized we were billed for hot water, which was never mentioned by our server. In all our dining experiences, we've never been charged for hot water before, so this was confusing. Additionally, an automatic 18% gratuity was added to the bill without any prior notice. While we understand that some restaurants add gratuity on holidays, clearer communication would have made a big difference. We went in feeling happy and excited, but left feeling a bit disappointed. Transparency about charges would really improve the overall experience.

We are so glad we did! The casual atmosphere out front and the lunch special banner lead us to believe we'd be having a cheaper dinner. We were ushered into a beautiful outdoor patio dining area, greeted by very friendly staff and supplied with carefully selected table settings. The environment was charming and relaxing. The menu was large and varied. We settled on a few things to try and wished we could have ordered more. The Greek salad was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced. The chicken breast kabob plate was so generous in its portions, the chicken skewers were huge. The rice was wonderful as was everything else. We also got the egg boat to share and the bread was incredible. We definitely want to go back and try other wood fired items there. I'm sure the pizza is wonderful if it uses the same bread. Pricing on everything was very reasonable considering all the factors. I definitely got the impression that this is run with love by a family. They were friendly and kind, and their love of food showed in every bite. Their pride in their endeavor showed in all of the little touches in creating a nice atmosphere. We will be back

On the screen it says "food takes 25-30min" I waited 50 min... There were at least 4 people waiting for their orders. Whenever one of us tried to talk to the server and as they were approaching, I could tell she was going to somewhere else like to the kitchen and intentionally tried not to give the eye contact with customers. The customer is next to you how can you not look at them...lol After almost an hour I got my food only to find that pickled radish was spoiled. Luckily I added an extra so it saved me. When I took out the container it was already full of gas and about to explode. When I opened it, smelled horrible like raw food left in the garbage disposal for weeks. (You can see how cloudy the juice is from the picture) Over all, I understand that this location has the worst review among other bb.q chicken in SGV, I'd choose other place next time. Food was good so 3 stars for that.

The food at bb.q Pasadena is pretty consistent and if you're looking for that typical flavor of…read moreKorean fried chicken, you will get that here. 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.

PURE SOUL, PERFECT SAUCE PAIRINGS, AND 10/10 NOSTALGIA VIBES…read more On my way to A.G. By Car bakery, the aroma drifting from this BBQ joint completely stopped me in my tracks. I felt like a character in an old-school cartoon, levitating in a trance and totally hypnotized by the smell. Just walking by gave me a wave of nostalgia, so on my way back, stopping for a quick bite wasn't optional it was a necessity. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of delicious pies and soulful cooking. The sweet lady at the counter gave off the kind of warmth that made me feel like I was getting a hug from a grandmother I never got to meet. She was incredibly patient and steered me toward the perfect sauce pairing for my rib plate. That combo? Absolute heaven. While I'm sure locals already know all about this spot, it was a brand-new revelation for me, and they've officially won a loyal customer. And please, do not skip the potato salad. The tangy mustard blend is a perfect science formula. I have no idea how they dialed it in so perfectly, but I'll happily leave the genius to the kitchen!

The word spread that they were already out of sweet potato pie and green beans! We eventually found ourselves at the counter to order. Hubby ordered GG's Combo Plate, and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. GG'S was outstanding! Mac n cheese - yum! Potato salad - yum! The pulled pork was flavorful except it's on a hamburger bun with the meat on the bottom bun served open faced. When I put the top bun on and picky up the sandwich the bottom fell apart due to it soaking up the drippings. It came with a side of cole slaw but it was missing flavor. We shared a peach cobbler - Wow, so delicious! I could've and should've eaten a whole one by myself. The pulled pork sandwich isn't discouraging me from going back. It'll be a reason to try something else. Bring your patience!
