Alhambra Restaurants

Such a nice brunch! We were seated out by the fireplace and it was perfect. Food was great, service was great, ambiance - so festive! Highlight of the season.

I’ve been wanting to come to Yangs Kitchen for a very long time and wow it met my expectations! The food was incredible, every plate was delicious. The service was also awesome. Super attentive. I’ll absolutely be coming back because this restaurant is such a treat!!

The venue is beautiful and the tea is worth the price. There were four of us and we all ordered the traditional tea rather than the, more expensive, huntington tea option. Soup or salad is an additional cost, but the white bean and panchetta soup was delicious. There are alcohol and cocktail options as well. The aperol spritz were good if you like that drink. The tea selection was simple and every each tea we ordered was delicious. The tea pots were plain white and small but they will refill your tea pot with hot water a couple times. The scones, sandwiches, and sweets were mostly delicious and unique. Our one complaint is the ham and cheese sandwich was plain and dry. It didn't wow us like the lamb sandwich. We would prefer an egg sandwich or chicken salad sandwich instead. The James beard sandwich was an underwhelming mayo sandwich as well. The service was impeccable. Isaac was a great server. Isaac and other staff were thoughtful and preemptively met our needs. They provided a free slice of chocolate cake for a birthday as well. Overall, we had a great experience. I will definitely come back!

After not going there for several years after not being pleased with our first few visits after they opened, we'd read nothing but stellar reviews, so we thought we'd give it another try. We were not disappointed The quality of the food, service and the overall place was stellar! Out waiter, Thomas (a 30-yr. Veteran of many Pasadena mainstays), could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, efficient or charming! Food was on par with the best places around town, in terms of taste, creativity, quantity and quality! We re definitely going back, and soon!

If you're craving authentic Japanese food, Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori & Men-Ya in Alhambra is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an authentic vibe that transports you straight to Japan. I started with their famous Japanese meat skewers—absolutely delicious! The yakitori was perfectly grilled, with just the right amount of char and tenderness. The flavors were spot-on, and each skewer was a delightful burst of savory goodness. Next, I had the ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a great depth that comes from hours of careful preparation. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the toppings (from soft-boiled eggs to tender slices of pork) really elevated the dish. It's easily one of the best ramen bowls I've had. To round out the meal, I enjoyed a glass of cold sake. It was smooth and refreshing, a perfect complement to the meal. Overall, everything was great. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Whether you're a fan of yakitori or ramen, this place does it right. I’ll definitely be back for more!
