The 18 Best Restaurants In Pasadena

"If you’ve ever eaten at the original Howlin Ray’s in Chinatown, you know to expect chaotic parking and the occasional long line filled with people discussing podcasts. It’s why the new location in Pasadena is such a pleasant upgrade. Parking is a breeze with a huge lot around back, the upbeat staff (who can text you updated wait times) keeps the line moving quickly, and there’s a beer and wine menu that, combined with a blasting hip-hop playlist, make it a prime location for day drinking. As for the hot chicken? It’s as juicy and crispy (and spicy) as ever. Even if you end up standing in line for a bit, this place is worth planning your afternoon around.
