    I want to say that I've been here solo at least two nights and still recommend highly. Friday night, I came around 8 PM and had attentive servers. I was able to enjoy a drink and I was able to sit down and enjoy a book in the meantime. It was nice to see a rooftop bar not in DTLA closer to me. It was pretty hip, and would definitely invite friends for a nice cocktail. They have a decent drink menu and food menu and I was able to try a few different things. They also have heaters and lights for the evening time. Parking is limited if you're not at the hotel, but there is neighborhood parking which isn't too far. Unfortunately, I am removing one star for my Saturday evening. I went on Saturday night for a sunset and dj session since I enjoyed the Friday evening. However, Saturday night, I unfortunately didn't get the same service. I waited about 30 minutes for a server and had to flag down multiple times to get a drink and my water. I never got my servers name and I was going to order another drink, but it took about another 20 mins to flag down a server. The food and drink were still great, but it was disappointing since the servers were busy and rarely checked on me. I still will return, however, larger groups closer to the bar will likely receive better service.

    What an awesome place to hangout and in SGV right next to Santa Anita Race Track and the Santa Anita Mall.... Great food, the potato tacos were awesome!!!! Great drinks and a great crowd for a Saturday Night Staff is very attentive and great music from a local DJ. What more can you ask for??? The place got packed as the night went on as well. I plan on coming back again soon!

    Came here with my besties for a quiet evening chat and catch-up, and it was the perfect spot. Hipico is located on the rooftop of the new Hilton in Arcadia, overlooking the Santa Anita racetrack with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background. Golden hour here is beautiful -- the sunset alone is worth coming for. Everything was very pleasant, but the highlight was definitely the service. Our waitress was so welcoming and had the warmest smile, which made the whole evening feel even better. For a rooftop bar, the food was surprisingly delicious. We ordered a lot: Caesar salad, grilled octopus, flatbread, chicken wings, tortilla chips, and cocktails. The Caesar salad was so good, the octopus was beautifully plated and tender, the flatbread was crispy, the wings were crispy and tangy, and even the tortilla chips were great. The cocktails were also very tasty, especially their espresso martini drink. Arcadia and the San Gabriel Valley really needed a modern, trendy rooftop spot like this. It gives a little West Hollywood energy, but with SGV warmth and humble, friendly service. I'll definitely be coming back more often.

    It was pretty busy when we visited but glad we made a reservation and had a great booth right by the heat lamps. Both the drinks and food were really enjoyable. We ordered the shrimp ceviche, queso fundido flatbread, chicken wings, and fries, and everything turned out great. You can tell there's effort put into making each dish and drink. Love checking out rooftop bars and would love to come back to enjoy the view during the daytime for some sun/sunset!

    Came here for a yelp elite event! got to try some amazing food with my friend and take cute sunset rooftop pictures. The manager David was super nice and made sure we had a great time! We tried the Chips and Guac, Octopus, Ceviche, and ended the night with some champagne and cheesecake! Would recommend visiting and vibing here!

    The love the customer service and the food over the view. It's a nice clean place with a view of the Santa Anita racetrack

    Can I get a woot woot for this amazing rooftop bar in SGV and our host, Judy?!! Judy delivered truly outstanding customer service, going far beyond what anyone would expect. Even though I arrived late to my reservation, she handled the situation with grace, patience, and genuine care. She not only found a way to accommodate our seatings need, but she did it with a calm professionalism that immediately put me at ease. Her attention to detail, her willingness to help, and her positive attitude turned what could have been a stressful moment into an experience that made me feel valued and welcomed. Judy is a perfect example of what exceptional hospitality looks like, and her dedication deserves recognition. I'm genuinely grateful for her help -- she made my visit memorable for all the right reasons. Would definitely recommend this spot. Come see for yourself and you'll have your own story to tell :).

    Went on a Saturday night as a walk-in and had a great experience from start to finish. The vibe was already solid when we arrived, and things only got better once we were seated. Our server, Ariana, was super helpful with recommendations and clearly knew the menu well, which made ordering easy. They checked in at the right times and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. At one point they even turned on the heaters when it got a bit chilly outside. Also had a great DJ playing music !

    I found this place by accident while attending a card show at the hotel. I stopped by the lobby bar for a drink and noticed there was mention of another bar, so I asked the bartender about it. He told me there was a rooftop bar upstairs and suggested I check it out. While heading up, I also noticed someone setting up for live music in the lobby bar, which already gave the hotel a really fun atmosphere. The rooftop itself was beautiful, with amazing views overlooking the Santa Anita Racetrack. It was right around sunset, and the scenery was starting to turn gorgeous. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay long enough to fully enjoy the sunset because we had to leave, but even the short time I spent there was worth it. What really stood out to me was the service. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and attentive. I was there by myself, and the staff kept checking in to make sure I was having a good time, which made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. The Dodger game was playing on the TVs at the bar too, which made the vibe even better. I definitely recommend checking this place out. It still feels like a hidden gem, but I have a feeling people are starting to discover it and it's only a matter of time before this place is packed.

    Attended a private event. Beautiful view.

    Attended a private brunch event. Beautiful modern venue with views of the mountains. There are bar seating, loungers, high top, and normal table seatings. There's a covered area and open air space with umbrellas. Perfect spot for brunch and lounging. Just opened in January 2026! Awesome addition to the SGV rooftop dining scene. Free parking in the lot.

    Shrimp Ceviche
    Kimberly R.

    Absolutely beautiful and such a lovely view!!! Beautiful cocktails, and the food was really delicious and came out quickly. A little bummed the shishito peppers weren't available but the great service made up for it. Would love to see some DJs up on the rooftop with some sexy vibes some day. Will definitely come back for the food!! Especially for summer!

    A friend and I were just looking to grab a quick drink and somehow stumbled upon this hidden gem and wow, what a find! From the moment we got there, everything exceeded our expectations. The drinks and appetizers were absolutely phenomenal, so flavorful and beautifully presented. They had a DJ playing, which really kept the vibe fun and lively without being overwhelming. It felt like the perfect balance of chill and upbeat. Taylor was our server and truly made the experience even better super attentive, friendly, and really knowledgeable about the menu. We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager, David, who came by to introduce himself. He was so kind and personable, and we really appreciated that extra touch. And I can't forget the views absolutely spectacular. If you're thinking about going, definitely time it for sunset and grab a drink. You won't regret it. Already looking forward to our next visit!

    Great atmosphere, drinks and desert. Not many options in Pasadena, other some dive bars. This is the only trendy, cool spot without being uptight. They had a live DJ but they close at eleven on the weekends. If you a tequila drinker, they had fortaleza, don fulano and other additive free options.

For $5 a shot you get a die and the number you roll corcorresponds to a flavor shot. My friend and I rolled the same number and each got a green tea soju shot. It was refreshing and delicious. Now for the food: We got the bulgogli fries. It is a large portion of fries and tasty bulgolgi. The perfect runny yolk egg on top completed it. The seafood udon was amazingly delicious. I love udon and never thought it would be so expertly combined with seafood and vegetables. The Korean fried chicken was delicious. We got it with the K mild sauce. The chicken itself was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce was so flavorful and delivered just the right amount of kick. We also got the garlic chili chicken fried rice. A large portion and the heat and garlic were so good. Great food and service makes this a place to come back to again and again.

My kids had the sliders and I've got to say, it's giving some of my favorite chicken fast food joints a run for their money as far as tenderness and flavor!

Soonheene actually started in Seoul's famous Gwangjang Market where they were known for their pancakes, so I was excited to check it out. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Esther (the owner) and her daughter. They both went out of their way to explain the menu and answer all my questions with genuine smiles. That kind of hospitality really sets the tone for a meal. We ordered the Pork Mungbean Pancake, Rose Tteokbokki (creamy rice cakes with fish cake and sausage), Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy cold buckwheat noodles), and a whole fried chicken split into two flavors. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasty. For half the chicken, I went with the original but added green onion and their special oriental sauce drizzle. The other half was spicy soy garlic. I'll admit, I liked the original better. I second-guessed myself when the owner's daughter mentioned soy garlic was their number one most popular flavor followed by honey butter, but I thought I would be different and try the spicy version. The spice kind of drowned out that garlicky soy flavor, so lesson learned. Next time I am going straight for the soy garlic and honey butter combo. For drinks, we tried the Korean coffee and cold yuzu drink, both refreshing and a nice complement to the food. By the end of the meal, everything was so good that I even found myself asking about catering their chicken for future events. The vibe inside is really comfortable with soft K-pop playing in the background. It is just enough for atmosphere but not too loud, so you can talk easily. The only tricky part is parking since it is in a busy plaza with a lot of other restaurants, but at least it is free. Overall, this was one of the most unique dining experiences we have had recently, made extra special by Esther and her daughter's hospitality. I love supporting family-owned spots like this, and I will definitely be back to try that famous soy garlic and honey butter chicken next time.

What makes Buffalo Wild Wings GO location different from the regular restaurant is that there is a walk up counter that allows for you to make to go orders and encourages for more to go orders than dine in (although there is one small table and chairs if you do want to eat in, but this location is pretty small). A few months ago, my husband and I had wanted to try this location since we had a gift card for Buffalo Wild Wings. Unfortunately they were not able to use our gift card for payment because their payment system was down so we decided to leave and try them again some other time. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. We decided to make a to go order and pick up in person. We ended up ordering: Large Potato Wedges, $6.49 prior to tax- A good size portion of this. I liked the seasoning used on the potato wedges. Large Tots, $6.49 prior to tax- This was quite a large portion of tater tots and was pretty tasty. Classic Chicken Sandwich, $5.99 prior to tax- I ordered this for my mom so I did not have this. She ended up eating this the next day and liked it. But she thought it was pretty oily, which was expected. She liked the bun that was used for this sandwich. Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders, 5 Piece, $10.99 prior to tax- This chicken was oily, which was expected, but was actually good. The flavor on the batter was good and thought the amount of chicken per chicken tender was a good size. ------------------------------------ (Total= $33.03 after tax) After making our order online, we were given a time that it would be ready in 30 minutes. We arrived a few minutes after 30 minutes and it was ready upon the pick up time. Although it does appear that our food was sitting in their paper containers for a while, the food was good. The potato items and fried chicken tenders were still crisp and not soggy. If I didn't have a gift card, I most likely would not come here. I think the price of food is a little expensive but I feel like that is the going price for food items at similar eateries. Overall, I think this place is fine.
