Inside Allied Food. I ordered online and scanned my pickup details when I got there…read more Pro: ready when scheduled fresh Con: mild flavor: needed more sauce and used all the chili crisp (and I'm a medium salsa girl). I really expected a lot more flavor. Garlic sauce was suuuuuper runny, when all pics online show it is thick. And it was a super watered down flavor I could have used more chicken. Def need to order extra. It was an easy pick up choice for fresh food, and if you do not want to interact with anyone, this is your place. Just order extra sauce and extra meat.

Ordered from Umami yesterday and I cant stop thinking about it. We ordered a chicken rice bowl with…read moreavocados and it was a perfect combination of tasty and healthy. It came with vegetables, rice ,avocado, chilli oil and one other sauce. It looked so tempting that I literally couldn't wait to dig in and forgot to take a picture of the food. It was a pretty looking bowl for sure! 10/10. Will order from here again when I am back in pasadena for sure!!

Came by this spot in Pasadena randomly and was veryyy plesantly surprised. The location is kinda…read moreweird, but the food is soo amzazing. Never had this type of fast-casual meditteranian but it was sooo good. I think this meal is pretty healthy too (from what they say), macro friendly, so no need to worry about being fat. FOOD: Price: Pretty average slightly more expensive ~$15 - $20 per dish Quarter Plate (Dark Meat) - $18.5 (10/10) The first thought was that the dish looked small, with 2 drums and a variety of sides. But! I was actually very full by the end and didnt even finish. I personally LOVE how many different sides are included, so you can make a mini sandwich with the pita for every bite. Every part of this dish was amazing, from the tender drums to the picked vegetables and really good hummus. The wedge of lettuce was actually really good, well seasoned with dressing, and very crunchy. This is such a satisfying meal tbh and the sauces were amazing too. Schmatyzy Potatoes - $7.75 (10/10) These were the best potatoes Ive ever tried holy moly. The potatoes were smashed but inside was so soft and outside was crunchy. BUT what makes the potatoes SOOO good is the GARLIC SAUCE it comes with. IDK HOW THEY MAKE IT but it was AMAZING. This is a MUst get. Fennel Tzatziki Side - $5.75 (10/10) Im a whore for tzatziki and this tzaziki was very well made. Long strips of cucumber, but the texture was great for pairing with the potatoes and the plate. Some tzatzikis from other restaraunts can be questionable but this is a 10/19 tzatziki. Hibiscus Cooler - $5 (0/10) Ts was not good lol VIBES: AMAZING service. The people in the front are ALWAYS so friendly. I came here twice and this kind black gentleman helped me out with PURE JOY. Oh I wish I loved my job as much as he does. He made this experience very fun though, he came up with our table with a TADAAA!! The parking here can be rough tho, no lot and only street parking. The lot is a bit away i tink but its not tooo bad. The restaurant was pretty empty during lunch time, so no wait and food came out quick too. I definetely come back here and refer all my freinds hehe

This was my first time visiting Kismet Rotisserie to meet up with a friend, and we loved it!…read more The inside is beautiful, very clean, and decorated with lovely off-white, green, and mustard yellow walls. I loved the jazzy music playing in the background, which made the vibe perfect. Our server, Julian, was incredibly welcoming and gave us amazing customer service. The food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the dark meat rotisserie chicken quarter plate with hummus, a wedge salad, pickles, pita, and a side of avocado. The chili oil and garlic sauce added great flavor. My friend really enjoyed her big green salad, packed with fresh market greens, veggies, and a miso poppy dressing, along with a side of rich schmaltzy potatoes. We had a wonderful time catching up over a fantastic meal. I will definitely be back!

This place is my go-to!…read more If you're looking for something healthy but still delicious, this is the place! I love their salads and sandwiches and usually rotate between the two. This time, I got the seared ahi salad, which comes with their famous focaccia bread. The salad comes with a Japanese citrusy dressing that is SO good. It's tangy and savory and balances the salad perfectly. The cafe is super clean, there's plenty of parking in the back, and the staff is always so nice and welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite spots when I want something fresh and healthy!

From the moment I walked in, Keegan greeted me with such positive, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming energy. He asked if it was my first visit, took the time to walk me through the menu, and helped me decide on the pesto chicken sandwich and wow, it was absolutely fire! What really stood out was the atmosphere. Everyone here seemed genuinely happy to be at work, and I honestly think that kind of positive energy makes the food taste even better. The manager even came by our table to check in, and her enthusiasm for both the food and the service her team provides was contagious. Great food, incredible service, and an awesome vibe. It's clear this team takes pride in creating a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend checking Urban Cafe out if you're in the area!

Ordering is simple on the app, online or at the kiosks in person. The space itself is designed for takeout and pickup with self service food lockers. I love how kind the staff were to assist us in understanding the different "restaurants" to order from. I ordered the Cauliflower bowl with kimchi and sweet potato as my sides. Every bowl offers unique sides that are steamed or grilled. For a quick healthy lunch, this spot is legit.

We also ordered the papaya salad with shrimp and the chicken Tom Yum soup. Everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on, and every dish tasted fresh and well prepared. The papaya salad was perfectly balanced--not too sweet and not too sour. The Tom Yum soup was incredible. My husband usually doesn't eat soup, but he loved it and kept commenting on how flavorful it was. The fried rice was also excellent, and the lunch special was a great value for the price. On top of the amazing food, the customer service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We will definitely be coming back. I can't wait to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!…read more I was honestly so impressed. To be fair, I haven't been to many Thai restaurants that I didn't enjoy, but this place really stood out. The quality of the meat was excellent, and every dish was packed with flavor. The service was calm, friendly, and attentive. I was actually surprised by how quiet it was because the food deserves a much bigger crowd. What really blew me away was the portion size for the price. The servings were huge and such a great value. We had enough food to easily feed 5-6 people, and the bill was still incredibly reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back!

I'm usually not a big fan of sourdough but this bread wasn't too sour. It was slightly dry and tough to chew but it tasted pretty fresh. It was packed with chunks of real avocado and chicken. The chicken was packed with flavor and not too salty. There was a slight hint of spice without being too spicy. The Watermelon Agua Fresca ($4.75) was so refreshing. It wasn't too sweet and I could tell it was made with real watermelon! I was impressed by how big the container is and it was more than enough for one person!

Came here on a Saturday at around 11 AM just before the lunch rush. My friend is a vegan and found…read morethis place on Yelp after searching for vegan options. The menu had a little of everything for everyone (meat, veggie, vegan, etc). My friend ordered the vegan banh mi and I opted for the chicken banh mi. Food wise, the banh mi's were pretty decent. The portions are pretty big (I only ate half) and the prices were decent for Pasadena. The bread was nice a crunchy but the banh mi was lacking in vegetables and the chicken was a bit dry. My friend seemed to have enjoyed the vegan banh mi (tofu banh mi) and her matcha drink. The place is a nice little spot with a few tables. Service was great! You order at the counter and then find a seat. When it got closer to 12, there was a lunch rush and many people walked in. I noticed alot of people were ordering pho even though it was about 85 F outside haha. I would like to come back and try the pho! For two banh mi's + 2 bags of chips and a matcha drink, the total came out to be around $38 after tax and tip. If you're in the area looking for decent Vietnamese food with vegan and vegetarian options, this place is worth checking out!

Ginger and Spice proves that you can find great flavor and quality from a small "hole in the wall"…read morerestaurant, What did I order? Banh Mi (Pork) Fried Egg Rolls (shrimp and pork) The banh mi was very good. Although I'm accustomed to much more cilantro also it did not have the usual cucumbers and shredded carrots. I thought that was standard to every banh mi? Bread was nice, and the flavor of the pork was very very good. The egg rolls I believe were made fresh in house. The size and quality were so good. If they were a frozen variety, then I've gotta tip my hat to the kitchen for doing a great job at sourcing a good supplier. $12 for a banh mi is a bit steep considering theres really great shops priced at $6. Would a return? If I were in the area maybe, but i personally wouldnt drive a distance or out of my way.
