Amazing food and service. The patio is a bit loud because of the street noise but I had the best Cepque Madame. my wife had an Amazing breakfast burrito and we had a side of the mac n cheese and it was all fantastic. I would definitely go here again soon if it was not 30 miles away from my home!

Plate 38 is a gem and definitely my new favorite place. The pancakes and that lemon curd inspired me to go home and try making it myself, but if I fail who cares i can come back for all of theirs. Also very lovely staff thank you for a beautiful experience

Amazing restaurant. Incredible food. Highly recommend. The star of the show during my visit was undoubtedly the steak with asparagus. Cooked to perfection, the steak was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The chef’s expertise in seasoning and grilling was evident in every bite. The asparagus served as an ideal accompaniment, adding a fresh and crisp element to the dish. Overall, it was a delightful combination that left me satisfied and impressed.

Good food and nice atmosphere. Came at brunch time and liked how the menu had a lot of options and variety. Definitely recommend getting the smokehouse burger.

Sunday Brunch stop #1. My wife took me out to Brunch for my birthday and we went to Plate 38. Manny behind the bar made sure everything was perfect and even whipped me up a Birthday drink for good measure. The lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes are the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever had, they were absolutely delicious. The Chinese chicken salad had the perfect amount of tang in its very light dressing, perfect texture. We are definitely making plate 38 our go to Sunday Brunch or even Tuesday happy hour from now on!

We always come here for date night. My parents were in town so we brought them for Valentine’s Day after coming the night before( we made a reservation for VD). They enjoyed their meal immensely. Vladimir, Tony, and Stephanie were our staff and I could not speak more highly of them.

Used to come here all the time while in Pasadena until today. Came at 10.30 am with husband. Inside was only one customer, we chose a table with an extra chair to put my designer bag down, and was asked to relocate to a table for two, because the tables for four were reserved for four people only! Reminder, place is empty! Horrible management, server needs to be nicer to not lose customers that easily. So, we left. Never coming back. You guys can have table for 0!

Plate 38 has really upped their game, especially the daily specials. Service is above par; Dennis is awesome. The vibe is friendly and cool. Conveniently, it closes later than some other comparable places in Pasadena. Note: Monday is super busy because happy hour is all night until close.

For a long time we were chagrin to eat here. Finally after two years of driving by we decided to go in. The happy hour food is off the hook! From the sandwiches to the hurracha – outstanding! The chicken dinner on Sunday and Monday is incredible. The rabbit on the daily specials is also phenomenal and tastes somewhere between tender roast beef and pork or something. Just delicious. The chef is a great guy, modest and humble – his food is great and is a real treat for Colorado Blvd. in this part of town.

Was seated outside, waiters kind of forget about you. Food was tasty. Mimosas were strong lol Menu can be somewhat confusing be sure to check some photos for an idea of what it looks like and portions.
