Dish Bistro & Bar

Dish Bistro & Bar

WHY The sort of intelligent modern American bistro that towns like Santa Monica have in spades but Pasadena has mysteriously lacked.
WHAT The opening of chef Job Carder’s new side-street bistro instantly ramped up Old Pasadena’s culinary status — between Dish, Green Street Tavern and the even-newer Quadrupel, there’s hope away from the dull chains. In [...]

BCD Tofu House

BCD Tofu House

WHY For reliably good tofu soup 24/7.

Blu Jam Café

Blu Jam Café

WHY Mouthwatering omelets that don’t weigh you down and are made with fresh ingredients.

Chin-Ma-Ya of Tokyo

WHY Brothy and flavorful ramen with lots of add-on toppings, like enoki mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and boiled eggs.
WHAT Tucked away in the back of Weller Court, this restaurant serves some of Little Tokyo’s best ramen. There are seven different kinds of ramen, but it’s the “tan-tan men” that keeps us coming back. The [...]

Scoping Out the Wine Detective

Scoping Out the Wine Detective

Pasadena’s South Lake Avenue is going through some tough times, with empty storefronts abounding, but things are looking up on the block between Green and Cordova. The Counter’s customized burgers are proving a hit, Crocodile Cafe has been reborn as Café 140, and now there’s a new place that people are talking about: the Wine Detective.

Canter’s Deli

WHY No-nonsense deli sandwiches stacked high — don’t be afraid to get your hands messy.
WHAT This L.A. landmark has been around since 1931 and is open 24 hours. The endless menu boasts breakfast food, soups and salads, but it’s the sandwiches you want, even if they are a bit pricey. It’s not quite Langer’s, but [...]

The Gorbals

The Gorbals

WHY An eccentric Jewish-Scottish hipster spot that’s surprisingly affordable given the celebrity status of the chef — the most expensive dish is $15.
WHAT Helmed by Top Chef season-two winner Ilan Hall, the Gorbals was a long time coming and was greatly touted. But it’s anything but flashy — an almost-barren candlelit room tucked into the [...]
