I tried the Spanish latte, which was good, though I personally think it could have been a bit stronger. For food, the Eggs Salmone is a must. It's just yummy, especially with those perfect runny yolks. While it definitely gets busy on the weekends, the line moves quickly so you aren't waiting forever. Plus having plenty of parking in the back makes the whole experience way less stressful. It's a solid go-to spot :)

It was so hard choosing but we sat down with the Vegan Portobello Panini and Chicken Ciabatta Sandwich, both so yummy! The service was fast considering the long line, but they served the food fast. The ambiance was an absolute delight! They had PLENTY of tables throughout the restaurant. Inside, outside in their adorable patio and toward the back. It would be impossible to not get an available table. One thing too, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place! They have amazing looking muffins, cakes and shakes!

Service was fast and efficient. A small downside was that the tables on the patio were a bit dirty -- they could use a more thorough cleaning and better maintenance throughout the day. The staff also seemed a little tired, but it didn't affect the overall positive experience. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

And honestly, it's hard to complain when you get to customize your own bowl! The space was practically sterile, which I actually find to not be the case with many hot pot restaurants, so this was a very nice and welcome surprise. Only gripe with the place is the price. It comes out to $15.99 per pound, which is quite expensive for raw ingredients. A single bowl could easily run you $20.

This is the perfect spot if you're a hot pot lover. One thing I really appreciated is that you can…read morecustomize your own bowl exactly how you want it. Sometimes traditional hot pot can feel like too much food, but here you can choose the perfect portions for yourself, which is perfect when it's just you! I got the spicy broth and everything was delicious. The meat and veggies were fresh, and the sauce/condiment area was very clean and well maintained. You can tell they care about quality and presentation. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was peaceful and comfortable, which made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you want a clean, customizable, and high-quality hot pot experience.

Croissant was flaky and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, just exactly how a great croissant would taste like. The flavor balance of the croissant is perfect that doesn't make one feel "overwhelmed" after the first bite. Maybe that's how the French like it ? :) I got the medium (vs bold) coffee and it pairs well with the croissant. Receptionist was kind and friendly, great service there. I'll definitely come back to try more of their baked goods.

The interior is super pretty and they had a gorgeous neon sign. Also love the bread shelf they had. If I didn't just buy bread before this I would've wanted to buy all of it. Now as for the pastries I got, I tried their fruit tart, macarons, and the chef special strawberry croissant cube. Everything is so delicious and not too sweet. I like how fresh all the fruits are. The macarons were perfect and crisp. They didn't taste soggy at all. I also really like the custard in the fruit tart. It fell apart pretty easily but they have the little tray for you so it was okay. I really like everything and need to try their eclairs out next.

I'm really picky with it comes to scones. But these scones were perfect! Soft on the inside, nice outer crust. Both the maple and blueberry scones are full of flavor. I think the maple is my favorite. The lovely girl that was helping us gave us a chocolate chip cookies for free! Which was so sweet of her. We told her we came a long way to try this restaurant out. I can't wait to go back and try their French onion soup. And other pastries too.

Hands down, one of the best Tendon you can have in LA...and I don't usually look for Tendon!…read moreTempura is freshly deep fried and once it came to my tables everything was crispy and taste was phenomenal. Great customer service by the staff, caring, and fast service. Very cozy ambiance, they have both inside and outside seating. For a smaller restaurant like this, it has a good amount of table/seats. Not to mention that their sushi rolls were spot on as well. Would come back several times.

I was looking forward to trying this place out this past Saturday for Mother's Day, but…read moreunfortunately, the food and service disappointed me. I understand they are busy, but there is no reason to swing the door at my face when I simply asked where I can put my name down on the waiting list. No answer, just rolled eyes and door in face. We really should've left because from that moment, it definitely felt like it was a mission for the two servers to make it a miserable experience for my family. I later found a small post holding up a chromebook outside of the restaurant with a paper with very small print explaining waitlist rules. It would be a lot better if the restaurant made a larger print sign that just says, "Sign In Here," and then have your small print letter to the customers about the rules. We put our name down at 12:30pm, it gave an estimated seat time of ~1pm. But because of the terrible service and mismanagement of the waiting list, we didn't get seated until 1:30pm. They seated 4 parties of 2-3 before our party of 4 when the open tables were side by side. On top of that, after we got seated, they still gave water and took the other tables orders that were seated after us before they came to us. Food took another 20 minutes to come out. I asked for the bill three times, but it didn't come until the other tables that were seated after us left and it was just empty tables next to us. In terms of the food, it was fine and the tempura was cooked well but I do not need to eat their tempura to be treated this poorly.

It was stuffed with so much steak and bacon. The steak was so tender and bursting with flavor! It was sweet and salty at the same time because of the caramelized onion jam! The sesame roll was so good and fresh! The Tomato Basil Soup ($7.14) was good! It was quite oily but I loved that it had real chunks of tomatoes inside. It was creamy and not too salty. Overall, I really enjoyed my sandwich and would definitely return and recommend!

Perfect family dim sum experience for us…read more We took out my parents and in-laws for dim sum: my parents' very first time ever. We did wait about an hour, but honestly I didn't mind at all because it gave us a chance to relax, talk, and catch up as a family. Once we were seated, my parents were immediately impressed with the decor: elegant and cultural without feeling overly modern or cold. And can we talk about the tea kettles? They looked like literal pieces of art being poured at the table. Ordering was super easy with the QR code system, so my husband handled the whole spread: shumai dumplings, chicken feet, sesame balls, and more. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The ENTIRE table agreed on one thing: the chili oil condiment deserves to be sold in bottles to take home. It was that good. Smoky, just the right amount of spicy, and addictive. Now for the real test: my in-laws. They've been to *many* dim sum places and are not easily impressed. They declared this place to have the best chicken feet that they've ever had: meat easily sucked off the bone, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and perfectly seasoned. High praise coming from dim sum veterans. Most importantly, my parents' first dim sum experience couldn't have been better. They loved everything from the ambiance to the food to the overall experience. My husband and I want to come back to explore more of the menu because there's clearly so much more to try

This location is pretty spacious and even has a second floor for dining. Though we were seated inside, a lot of people were coming in and out for take out.

The waitress was kind but apparently had to bring the receipt back because the staff was claiming we already received it.

There's an option to choose what type of noodle you want: round, flat, triangle, or knife cut. No matter the type, the noodles were very fresh, you can even see them making it through the large clear room in the back. I ordered the signature beef noodle with triangle noodles. The soup needed a tad bit more seasoning but it was good, especially the noodles. Temperature was perfect. Great quick place to drop by if you're shopping in Pasadena. I would probably come back and try the other items in the menu.

A Hidden Gem for Family Dining -- Outstanding Pho & Hospitality…read moreIf you haven't been to Nha Trang, stop what you're doing and go. Seriously. This place just earned a permanent spot on my list. I ordered the vegetarian pho and it blew me away -- easily one of the best bowls I've had. The broth was rich, deeply layered, and clearly made with intention. What really set it apart were the vegetables. We're talking lotus root, chayote squash, and a rotating cast of unique, seasonal additions that you just don't see at your average spot. It wasn't just filling -- it was thoughtful. But here's where Nha Trang really separated itself: the way they treated my child. From the moment we sat down, the staff brought out a perfectly sized little plate, bowl, and fork just for him -- without us even asking. They even brought out a small pair of scissors to cut his noodles to the perfect size. That one gesture alone told me everything I needed to know about this place. And when he finished eating? They brought him coloring pencils to keep him occupied. It was the kind of quiet, attentive hospitality that makes parents feel seen. The space itself is beautiful -- warm, welcoming, and clean. The kind of place where you actually want to linger over your meal instead of rushing out. Five stars, no hesitation. Whether you're coming solo, on a date, or with a toddler in tow -- Nha Trang delivers. We'll be back soon. Probably very soon. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
