Bone Kettle@Old Town Pasadena ★★★

Yummy Filipino Comfort Food. Their Noodles and Island Rice Plate are popular items. I was unsure about paying $26 for a rice plate. It turned out great with a variety of ingredients on the plate. On the pricier side, but great quality. Nice service. Hot tea $4. Mandatory 20% service charge. Parking at nearby public parking lot $1 for 2 hours.

Sushi Ichi@Pasadena ★★

A Decent Sushi Restaurant in Pasadena. We had the Omakase for about $60 (price varies). Reservation recommended. I like the Sea Bream and Amberjack a lot. Don't care for the Sweet Shrimp. The salmon was not fatty enough. You will get a much better experience sitting at the sushi bar if you are ordering omakase.
