When I’m craving salad, this is one of the two places I go to in Pasadena. The place is bright and clean and the food is served pretty quickly. The Thai mango salad is my favorite, but in the fall season the harvest salad with prosciutto really stands out. They serve two kinds of steak sandwiches but the one with bacon and chimichurri sauce is the best! The drinks are inventive, the rose lemonade is a must try.

What can I say?! This spot is great! I love their dishes. I personally like their twist on the Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich and usually get that along with a side of their curried couscous, but everything I’ve tried here has been delicious. What’s even better is you can pre-order and have them cater. Their service is good, and the place is lively. They even have a little nook for kids to sit and draw on the wall. Don’t forget their soda fountain. It has cream soda!

Excellent place. Tried the impossible burger and it was delicious. I still want to come back to try different things from their menu. Sometimes they take your order at the entrance where you can see the menu hanging from the wall.

I love their sandwiches and salads. I tried their Thai mango salad this time and it was amazing. It had “roasted chicken breast, ramen noodles, napa cabbage & kale slaw, sliced mango, honey roasted almonds, pickled daikon & carrots, Thai basil, mint, cilantro, lime, and fried shallots.” I found the addition of ramen noodles to be a bit strange since it was cold. I love the crunchiness from the greens and almonds. I also love their almond dressing that it came with. It’s citrusy but also taste like an Asian dressing. Trying to figure out the ingredients of the dressing but quite can’t figure it out so I guess I will have to keep purchasing it.
