- JJasonLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGus's BBQ is an excellent spot in Pasadena. This restaurant does BBQ right. The entries, the sides, and the drinks are all outstanding. I personally recommend their ribs & two meat combo with cornbread appetizer and blueberry lemonade. This place does get packed so I'd make a reservation a head of time.More infoGus's BBQ - South PasadenaPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• South Pasadena•4.7

- MMayraLos Angeles •2 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 7, 2025I’ll be completely honest we’ve loved this chain restaurant we’ve been to most of the LA locations and unfortunately, this one is the only one that’s the grill has just not been working. We got moved once because the girl kept on shutting off and in the middle of cooking the food multiple waitresses had to come and help us to fix the grill because the gas was just turning off. Everyone was super nice helpful but the off on experience was a little annoying. Overall the food was amazing. The value of the food was great but a little annoying.More infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - Pasadena, CA | Old TownPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Pasadena•4.7
