Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Pasadena

Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

Had a great experience here. The food was amazing. They had an off menu ribeye option that was so damn good. Our server Lee was truly the best. I’ll be back for sure!

So me & my girlfriend decided to spend our 1 year anniversary & valentines together at Papas bros, and we were not disappointed one bit! My girlfriend has celiac disease so we mentioned this to our waiter & she let us know she’d take care of it & for us not to worry, around 5 minutes after that conversation a gentleman came who introduced himself as the manger (Jack Kelly) hopefully I said his name right. He first off started by congratulating us on our 1 year he proceeded to inform us that he was made aware of my girlfriends food allergies & he wanted to personally let us know that there is no cross contamination with gluten items he even offered her “gluten free” bread which really made this experience go above & beyond since it is not that easy for my girlfriend to enjoy foods without worrying. Definitely recommend thank you again.

Our server was absolutely amazing made sure our waters were was full and other drinks as well I dropped my knife and he instantly swapped it out with a new one. The starter bread was very good the butter is a very light taste to me feels like it's not really there The steak tots were absolutely delicious the meat just melts in your mouth and the crunchy tots added an extra spark to it. The filet mignon was was super juicy and cooked perfectly and with the side of asparagus that I got they just fit together so well the seasoning on the asparagus and the butter coat on them just tasted delicious.

Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!
