Busa S. • July 5, 2015Always a good place very limited seating inside about 4-5 tables and a small patio with 5 tables but the brew is always good! 👍

Lina A. • May 28, 2015Curry rice with pork cutlet is soooooo good! Fried potato with yuzu aoili and my beloved jodori karaage. Cold sake selection is very nice also.

Jaydeep S. • January 20, 2016Really good food. Comparable to wurstkuche. I had the Thai Curry and would give it a 7/10. It was good but my friends ordered better items.

Todd Z. • January 17, 2013Amara is the best! Order any coffee drink with their cacao in it, and the scones are to die for!

Traci K. • February 21, 2013Better and more affordable than Mozza! Wonderful $12 margherita and $14 Gladiator with Lindy & Gundy meats (responsibly sourced meats)

Momica K. • October 11, 2014Very generous with their portions and not stingy on ingredients. The croque Madame + side kale salad is the perfect meal. Add the Salted Caramel Alfogado and it's pure heaven.

Erin S. • July 19, 2019Quarter chicken dark, French fries, salad with Japanese mustard. Add the spicy sauce to the chicken and you've got the best lunch in Pasadena, especially for the price.
