    SH1-Shrimp with Vegetable spicy
    Cheryl G.

    I've yet to find the best Chinese food around Pasadena. It's amazing how Pasadena has had several good Thai , pho, and sushi spots popping up in the past couple of years. I usually choose sushi or Vietnamese because I know Chinese are mediocre around here., I sometimes I just get that Chinese food craving when I'm at the office. Coming from parents that used to have a restaurant makes me even more critical. The food is good for the portion, but the flavor and quality not so much pretty bland. It's been my go to a couple times since it's free delivery near my office when I need something quick and to carb up. It seemed to remind me of a mall fast food place. The portions are huge when you order the lo mein! If only it had a bit more flavor maybe lacking garlic and more green onions. I forgot to take a picture since my husband ordered it Lol. Just picture the huge Togo container boxers filled to the brim! The steamed dumplings appeared like they just threw them in the container all clumped together. I wasn't expecting 10 in presentation but at least have it somewhat neat in the container and spread out a bit more.. The shrimp are good in size and probably the most I've ever had in my shrimp dishes anywhere else. I'll continue my mission for the best Chinese restaurant in Pasadena.

    I usually shy away from places where no one is eating there but not this time. Initially when I came in the owner was friendly quickly seated me and gave me time to decide on my order. I ordered salt and pepper chicken wings and pan fried noodles. The noodles came out first it was hot and looked appetizing but tasted a little different then usual. But it was decent nonetheless. When the chicken came out it was not WINGS it was boneless chicken pieces. I told the owner I ordered Wings which seemed to upset him. His response was "our salt and pepper chicken different. We don't do wings." I accepted that. I quickly went to try a piece and it was semi hot. I tried another piece it was lukewarm and overall did NOT taste fresh. I was not going to complain. I was simply going to box it up, pay the bill, and give it to the homeless. However, when about to pay the owner asked about how the food tasted. I expressed concern about the food not tasting fresh and then Helen being cold. He immediately takes the chicken plate off the table and proceeded to dispute with me the validity of my experience. He claimed "you let sit long time " and went on to say he watched the cooks make the food. I responded to him it's no big deal I will still pay for them but just thought you should know. In a highly elevated tone he says "no I will take off your bill but that's not true" then he spoke in another language pointing and still with an elevated voice to the woman at the register. Bottomline I was happy to pay for the food it was not a big deal. The owner offense to feedback that he asked for and preceded to yell at me the customer as if it was my fault. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE and I will NEVER go there again.

    I ordered food to be delivered. After eating half my order I realized there were bugs in the food! Totally grossed out and threw it out immediately. Yuck

    yellow curry chicken :(

    I had been craving yellow chicken curry for a while and ran across the menu in our office so i figured i would give it a try and order my dept lunch for month end close. I am embarrassed and definitely not impressed and have never seen curry look slimey like this either. In fact i am scared to eat it as the chicken sure feels mushy as well. This is not even spicy. I had to look back at my order to make sure i didn't order something wrong. I work in the area and will never order again.

    Can't wait to eat these rice noodles with pork. Yummy.....

    Still great, a regular lunch stop for me. Close to work, quick, friendly and efficient service, and great food. My favorite is the Chicken Lo Mein for $9.95.

    I had a friend recommended Yo Yo's Chinese Cafe, so I decided to give it a try. When I arrived, and found that Yo Yo's was in a strip mall, I was a little concerned. I started out with a sweet and spicy soup and it was good. Secondly, I had a egg roll and it was very good. The main course consisted of chicken, beef and fried rice. Sorry, there was no name, the waitress made it up and said they would spice it up for me. Everything at Yo Yo's is made to order and is good. While I was there, I noticed that the majority of customers were taking orders to go. I also noticed they deliver. When in LaPorte, give Yo Yo's a try. Go get Full

You have to want to eat and drink…read morewell enough to drive a little farther than is convenient--and that's already the first good sign. This isn't a shiny, soulless concept bar with Edison bulbs and a marketing team. It's a neighborhood joint that understands the fundamentals: cold beer, poured correctly; food that knows what it is; prices that don't insult you; and a staff that actually gives a damn. Let's talk beer first, because they clearly do. The draft list is deep and thoughtful--enough variety to satisfy the hop-chasers, the lager loyalists, and the folks who just want something cold and honest after a long day. And yes, they know how to pour a proper Guinness. Settle time. Correct head. No shortcuts. That alone tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. The menu doesn't try to reinvent the wheel or lecture you about provenance. It's bar food done with intention. The street tacos are the kind you order expecting "good enough" and end up wishing you'd ordered two more. Balanced, flavorful, no unnecessary nonsense. The fried cod special? Exactly what it should be--hot, crisp, flaky inside, and served without ego. Comfort food that respects the eater. Prices are fair. Refreshingly fair. The kind of prices that make you relax, order another round, maybe stay longer than planned. That's not an accident--it's hospitality. This is the kind of place that reminds you why local bars matter. Why it's worth skipping the chain down the road and driving a little further for something real. 2 Ways Draught & Kitchen isn't trying to be famous. It's just trying to be good. And that's why it is. Go thirsty. Go hungry. And don't rush it.

This location is tucked away at the end of an outlet just outside Sam Houston Parkway. The interior is very clean, and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff is generally friendly. They walk you through all the ingredients/sections to build your ideal salad or wrap. At this location the person operating the register always asks if I have reward points. I like this because I could easily forget to scan my member number. This person takes my phone number and lets me know my point balance which is also nice. Some tips: Don't be scared to ask for all the ingredients you want. You can even ask for extra scoops of dressing. There are nuts, seeds, and bacon near the soup... you can put this in your salad too. I get so many components I don't feel the need to add a protein. Instead I add egg and bacon as my protein, and it doesn't cost extra. Also, ask for pita chips or bread as you're checking out. These are also complimentary. I would consider downloading their app and joining their rewards program as you can earn $5 off your next meal. Also, on your birthday you are given a $12 credit to Salata. Cheers!!

They also have wraps if you prefer. Their salad comes in two options small and large.

Each protein comes with its own cost. Step 4- sauce A whole lot of options. Also option is to mix everything or the sauce on the side. I chose on the side. Both the persons who were attending to us were patient and helpful and made suggestions too. They carry soda and tea if you like a drink with your salad. The ambience is clean and quiet. I would have liked the tables cleaned up a bit more but there were plenty empty so it was ok. The veges were crisp and very fresh, and I would rate them 10 /10 if I could.
