American restaurant · Downtown

"Houston's, Pasadena. Houston's is classic Pasadena. There will be a wait. Because like I said, this is classic Pasadena. Pasadenians love Houston's. It is classy without sacrificing taste. It is dark and romantic, but still has a TV broadcasting some sports game. There are big leather booths that line the walls (the corner booth in the back is the best). Food-wise, there is a good selection of burgers and a good selection of beer. Their sushi is not sushi per se- it is more that Americanized 'sushi' (a piece of coconut shrimp somehow and vegetables wrapped in a rice and seaweed roll). You get all of the flavors of the world without really leaving the comforts of home. Come here, order a beer, a giant salad or a giant entree (everything is giant) and watch the people and you will know Pasadena."
