In Pasadena for a wedding, we ended our visit with a wonderful dinner at this storefront neighborhood restaurant that was a short walk from the Courtyard Marriott (and from the Holly Metro station).

Definitely one of the best among the westernized, gentrified Chinese food places. Far superior to PF Chang's, though the menu is still diluted to be white-friendly. More

This was horrible! We had to leave because there were cockroaches along the wall. The food was very bad. The owners must have cheated on their Zagat rating. Avoid this place. More
