"Pasadena is no stranger to iconic, old-school establishments that lure people in from all over SoCal. Rotisserie Chicken of California currently isn’t one of them—but it should be. This tiny mom-and-pop spot in Downtown Pasadena been around since the 1980s and is home to some very good Japanese-style rotisserie chicken that's perfect for a casual lunch. The signature dish is the “Rotisserie Chicken Thirty-Two,” a special and very secretive recipe that uses a 32-spice blend to coat the chicken. It’s tangy and salty with a sweet and sour kick that stays on your lips all afternoon. photo credit: Jakob Layman" - Brant Cox
