About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
A modern take on the classic American steakhouse, Arroyo Chop House is one of only a few restaurants in Southern California that serves exclusively USDA Prime beef. This strikingly handsome restaurant, inspired by the Arts & Crafts architectural style for which Pasadena is famous, is clad in rich mahogany and the cozy booths are bathed in seductive light.

Our steaks are aged and hand cut daily and then perfectly seared in a 1,500 degree oven. Traditional steakhouse side dishes include creamed spinach, baked potatoes, asparagus spears with hollandaise sauce, and Arroyo Chop House's famous onion rings. We also offer live Maine lobster and fresh fish, Alaskan King Crab legs, fresh oysters, and shrimp. Compliment your meal with a bottle from our award-winning wine list and finish the night with one of our delicious desserts such as a Grand Marnier soufflé, warm apple pie, butterscotch pudding or chocolate pecan pie.

    Great food, excellent service. Bone in ribeye was amazing so was the lobster mashed potatoes and the soufflé. Was a little loud, table was a little small for all the food we got. A very lovely evening to celebrate a Birthday

    We have been dining at ACH for over 20 years. It’s our restaurant of choice for important occasions and events. The food was celery but the service was definitely off last night. Long delays between courses, they forgot it was my son’s birthday even though notice was clearly given at the time of reservation, etc.

    We enjoyed a very nice birthday celebration dinner. The service was comfortably attentive, efficient and friendly. We felt welcomed and appreciated from our arrival, throughout our visit, and as we departed. The six of us, each enjoyed our meals. Foods were nicely prepared, delicious and well presented. Cocktails, wines, coffees and desserts were enjoyed as well. Thank you so much to everyone. Especially Patrick and Jesus. We plan to return soon. Best to you all.

    I been coming here for years. But last night service was so bad. Took my steak 55 min to arrive. Than it wasn’t cooked it was blue rare when I ordered medium. So they took my steak back another 10 -15 min to arrive again. My friend was already finished with his meal, just looking at me. All we got was sorry , sorry , sorry. And top of all that Manager just asks how is everything , like really?
