I also got the Ruma Latte, which was delicious--sweet & tasted like caramel in a cup. We shared the mochi pancake after seeing it recommended on TikTok! It's was good but not life changing. We went close to opening, so the atmosphere was peaceful & cozy. The staff was kind & welcoming, though we did have to ask a few times for our table to be cleared. Since the two-person tables are small, a bit more attentiveness would've made the experience even better. Overall, great food, cozy vibes, & I'd definitely come back!

Happy Hour Only!…read more Prior to dinner in Pasadena, we popped in for some happy hour. At this time there are select days at this location where there is all day happy hour-- I believe Monday- Wednesday. Other weekdays its select hours of happy hour that starts at three. Happy hour consist of select beers, wine, and cocktails. With beer starting at $6.50 and cocktails going up to 13 dollars. Plus, there is a wide range of food items to compliment your drinks. The ambiance at this location is particularly nice. I think this is one of my favorite locations. On the first floor that is a large bar, plus there is a roof top patio and seating on three different floors. Note, happy hour is only served at the first flow bar unfortunately. The service is always great at this location. The bartender was very attentive during our visit. In front of the restaurant there is street parking that gets busy at night. Prior to 6pm, some parking in front is limited to one hour so read the signs carefully. Also, the parking in front is metered so pay the pay the meter. I believe there is parking in the rear that offers a limited free parking time. Cheers!

No signup sheet or reservations - you just need to be patient and scope out who you think might leave next. 3. After that we went inside ordered and got a number. 4. Our food was brought to us. We devoured the gruyère cheese sandwich on pumpernickel, it comes with a side salad. Also ordered a breakfast burrito it was ok.

Once you're seated and eating, if you want a beverage refill, you leave your hot meal to go stand in line (cashier is slow too, if they're even present), and WAIT in line to order another refill. All while your meal is getting cold and your conversation is disrupted. If you would rather drink water - oh yes, get that yourself too. Way too dependent on the atmosphere and completely flopping on making the experience enjoyable.

Drinks are fair although cheap ingredients are also utilized for their bar program. The prices for the drinks are fair for the area. This is a good spot to drop by for one round of drinks and that's about it, save your time if you're looking for good eats or an elevated experience. Service is ok, the staff looks under staffed and struggle to get the basics taken care of. The ambience is that of your great grandmothers house in the summer, just missing the plastic/ vinyl wrap over the sofas.

The portions are generous, and everything we've ordered has been consistently good. A special shout-out to Elidia for her outstanding service. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her positive attitude and genuine hospitality really made the experience even better. The atmosphere is lively and fun, making it a great spot to grab dinner with friends or watch a game. If you're in the area and craving great chicken with excellent service, I definitely recommend checking out The Chicken Koop. We'll definitely be back!

Honestly the service here was great and friendly but the food is terrible. Everything was mediocre…read moreand it just did not taste good and not worth paying for. We always pass by this place and decided to give it a try. Its a dark atmosphere and a simple menu. I feel like in a way the menu was too simple because I had a hard time ordering. We went with the fried chicken and waffles, roasted chicken, potato taquitos, fries, hummus and a side of mac and cheese. The food came out pretty cold. All the chicken was dry, not juicy, not seasoned well, just boring and tasteless. I stopped eating shortly after because nothing tasted good. Even though this was all standard food menu items, the food was underwhelming and tasted below par for a restaurant. Sadly, would not come back here at all.

The biscuits are perfection and will haunt your dreams. The crudo and burger also stood out. Was dining with some family who were visiting and dinner at Cannonball was their favorite meal of the trip. We were on the back patio for dinner, I enjoyed the metro trains passing, but it is probably not everyone's cup of tea. The ambience inside the restaurant when I got drinks at the bar was very nice. Service attentive and personable on both visits.

I was pleasantly surprised at the welcoming staff and warm ambiance. Going to slide one complaint in here, the noise level in the upstairs portion of the restaurant is LOUD. We sat upstairs and it was pretty difficult to hear my friends talk from just across the table. We powered through, and by the second half of our meal, most diners had finished and left us upstairs with only a couple of lingering parties. THEN this place became GREAT! Here's all that we stuffed ourselves with during the cacophony of chatter: flaky buttermilk biscuits, honey butter (3pc; please allow 20 minutes) - totally worth the 20 mins!! Super buttery and flaky, I might go back JUST FOR THIS! crispy calamari, horseradish cocktail sauce - great little kick in the sauce. Perfectly lightly battered. fideos, clams, chorizo, saffron, sweet sherry aïoli - mmmm, this was delicious. The Spanish chorizo enhanced the broth with a good saltiness. white shrimp from the griddle, aïoli - this was my favorite. The shrimp was not overcooked and peeled easily. The flavor was good enough to slurp the juices out. single burger, prime chuck, tillamook cheddar, dijonaise, egg brioche bun & crispy french fries - good meaty burger, love the dijonaise, GREAT shoestring fries. Parking is a little challenging during the day, not so bad in the evening. It's South Pas, a little neighborhood walk after dinner never hurts.

I thought this restaurant was going to be similar to a lot of the other Chinese "bistros" or…read more"cafes" around this 626 area, but this one is really a step above, with more personable staff, with a longtime manager/owner who cares about the food and the customers. We had the seafood pasta which was very tasty. The sauce has plenty of flavor and kick, and there is a lot of fresh seafood provided, including mussels and shrimp. Also had the lamb chops, which is one of their most popular dishes, and I can see why. The lamb was cooked perfectly, soft juicy, super easy to eat. I loved that there was chimichurri sauce provided on the side and it went well with everything, including the mashed potatoes and vegetables. This is definitely worth a revisit for any future special occasions!

Seeing the server and an Asian staff coming out from kitchen confirmed that the cooking wasn't fully American taste bud. But that is the reason why it hit me very well. Honestly, whether you have American or fusion or Asian taste bud, the taste quality is better than some average American restaurants. I tried the butter squash soup, lamp chop, and bow tie pasta with chicken. I was enjoying my soup and lamp chop a lot. The pasta was pleasant to me, but it wasn't exceptionally great compared to the lamp chop. My fiancé loved the pasta though, saying that the sauce wasn't overwhelming. It is not a cheap place to come for, but it is because the food and drinks (good white wine) have quality. The wait for the entrees was a little long, even though it wasn't that busy. I believe it was the chef spending time to make sure each dish was done well, unlike the busy restaurant where chefs only follow the restaurant's recipes to make it quick and easy. Lastly, the ambience was okay, but it was more an older fine dining/family owned style. It had some nostalgic vibe if you'd take it that way. Keep it up. I really hope it will be there forever long.
