"Located on the corner of Altadena Drive and Villa Street, Super Burger has been around for years, but it wasn’t until Jean and Ben Khe took over the classic fast-food stand in 2009 that word began to spread far and wide about its burgers. The sky-high cheeseburgers are styled in classic California fashion with all-beef patties, American cheese, sauteed onions, tomato, lettuce, and Thousand Island dressing — all pressed between two toasted buns." - Mona Holmes
"A quick exit from the 210 Freeway puts one at Super Burger within minutes. Once there, order classic cheeseburgers, pastrami, chili cheese fries, or the deep-fried fish burger prepared by longtime owners Jean and Ben Khe. The cheeseburger is $7.95, while the $15.95 chicken teriyaki with rice and veggies can easily feed two." - Eater Staff
"Los Angeles’s independent burger stands are some of the region’s most cherished restaurants. These longtime spots have been around for generations cranking out uncomplicated menus where burgers, pastrami sandwiches, chili cheese fries, and onion rings with a side of ranch are reliably delectable. At Super Burger, owners Jean and Ben Khe deliver dishes to diners in less than five minutes on uncrowded afternoons. Though it’s tempting to get a traditional cheeseburger, opt for the fish burger instead. Both the fish filet and french fries are previously frozen but the couple who run the place have perfected the art of deep frying so that the cod comes out pillowy on the inside with a delightfully crispy exterior before being placed between mayonnaise-tartar sauced buns. Every dish is composed with love, making this East Pasadena spot a favorite among locals for many decades. Sure, the faded signs and menu photos could use an update, but that’s part of the charm. Just shut up, order, and give the Khe’s your money." - Eater Staff
"Super Burger is a neighborhood spot in Pasadena serving up delightfully cheesy burgers with old-school chargrilled patties. The cheeseburger comes sandwiched between a pillowy bun with a blanket of cheese engulfing the patty. The classic toppings of shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes are added in before it's finished with a house sauce." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"Super Burger is offering its decadent wares for takeout, just be sure to observe social distancing when ordering at the window as the stand’s two owners are over 65 years old." - Cathy Chaplin
