Oak Tree Inn in Soutd Pasadena

Yummy food and great service.

This is probably our favorite Chinese restaurant. Food is fresh, it is very good, the parking is easy, and the place is clean. You would expect them to charge a lot more for the quality of food and atmosphere.

Have been going for the past years, very delicious food every time. :)

My family has been going here for decades. Still has amazing food

One of my favorite places to grab some food. awesome location, neat, and fantastic service. Highly recommended!

Loved how the new owners have slightly improved decor as well as the deli us food!

Simple, casual restaurant with consistent food and service. Good specials for lunch and I also enjoy coming here with the relatives. All the usual Chinese staples taste yummy. Decor needs some TLC.

Above average Chinese food if you do not want to shlep to San Gabriel or Monterrey Park. It is pricey compared to what you can buy there but again you are in South Pasadena/ Pasadena/ San Marino area. You will have clean table cloths for those that are not used to traditional fine dining or lack of Asian eating. The help is Asian and owned by Asians so you non Asians looking for authentic food without getting scared of going into New Chinatown you will be a-ok. Take out is easy too.

Food and service was awesome as always tonight. Out of the 28 years they have been at that location, me and my family have been going there for about 20 years and counting. It's one of the best restaurants for Chinese food in the city of Pasadena that you can find.

We came in here and the manager looks like she's not having the best day. The Lobster noodles were bland and the place is a little small

Favorite Chinese restaurant by far!My family and I have been coming here for years. Whenever we have family in from our of town they request Oak Tree Inn! Staff is great they have been there for many years. They are always attentive and friendly especially with children.

I always love their food and I don't wait to be seated

It is a little expensive but great food

Great food at fair prices!

Food was great,meat and veggie options, way more than seafood.Good Service!

The FOOD is awesome, the service is great, the price very reasonable. The people there are fantastic and the FOOD is AWESOME.

The best chinese food ever! I love the fried pork!

I have eaten there on many occasions and have never been disappointed. I absolutely love their pork chops and orange chicken and their veggie dishes are also wonderful. Their food is full of flavor and spice...one of my favorite places to eat.

Amazing Food and Service

I've always loved there food 😍 especially there spicy salty pork chops whenever I'm in Pasadena I stop by and get them like today ❤️ oak tree inn ❤️

I like to go with friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this place often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The meals are yummy and the crew is welcoming and cooperative. Whenever we go to this place we enjoy a splendid time. I recommend this place with pleasure.

Had a surprise birthday party for my wife. The staff was very hospitable and accommodating. The food was delicious and had plenty to take home. Easy parking and great atmosphere. Definitely recommend to family and friends.

The best, authentic and delicious food this side of town

Food is great, I'd reccomend the honey walnut shrimp and fish with tender greens. The food usually comes out pretty fast. The lunch special is a great deal.

Excellent food and service as well.Been coming here for more than twenty years.Spring roll is the best in town.

Good food and great service.

This place never disappoints. They serve fantastic dishes for reasonable prices, there is no waiting time even when the spot is full.

Tasty and delicious food with fast, friendly service ;-)

This is the best Chinese food restaurant I've ever been to. The ambiance is fabulous, the service is spectacular, and the food is beautifully plated and deliciously authentic. I HIGHLY recommend it; you won't be disappointed.

Great food, Great service! My favorite place to eat. Did i say GREAT FOOD and SERVICE . Love the tea too .

This is the best Chinese food in all of California - great service, amazing food, great environment. Quality of food with the price and service are definitely worth it!

Consistently a positive experience with key dishes that are always made well. Dinner always has a lively crowd and food is served within minutes of ordering.

We had a great experience in this spot. We enjoyed the first-rate environment and the meals. The waiters were very welcoming. I am happy we ultimately decided to eat here.

I always love coming here for Chinese food. Plus, they got great lunch deals. The service was great and I really love the fortune cookies dipped in white chocolate they give you at the end of your meal.

The service was fast and the food was delicious.

Not a bad place for Chinese food. I have passed this many times but never had gone in for food. Today, my friend invited me for lunch and he happened to be in South Pasadena. When I first went in, I didn’t think they would have authentic Chinese food. But I was wrong. When the food came out, the taste of the dishes was in par with the foods in Alhambra and Monterey Park next door. I especially like their mandarin pork chop which is a sweet and sour pork chop. On the pork belly with preserved vegetables dish, the taste was on the light side. The seasoning hadn’t completely penetrated the meats yet. For the scallops and asparagus dish, the flavor was right on. I guess this restaurant passed my taste test for authentic Chinese food.

Super solid lunch specials and excellent, efficient service. Get a nice sit down meal with lots of options, with a cup of hot tea and soup for the price of a fast food burger combo. So far, I've had the orange chicken and house special fish fillet. Both were great. Also, they give you a white chocolate dipped fortune cookie at the end of the meal. They are super good.

I eat in this nice place many times a year! This is the best place to have a bite. I visit this spot at least once a month. The cooking is very good, the staff members are welcoming and the price is affordable. I like being in this restaurant over a nice dinner.

Very good food and attentive service in a pleasant dining room. They have been in business 30 years.

A great place if you like Chinese food, or meat in general. Great prices and fast service, but almost no vegan options.

Real local Chinese food taste. Good place to go with family.Fried shrimp and lobster are fresh.

Wonderful food and very friendly staff!

food is exellent. great ambience.very clean. very cordial staff.centrally located on fair oaks ave. in pasadena.i will go back for sure.

This restaurant has been in business for many years. Their food tastes good and is pretty consistent. Their Lunch Specials come with rice and soup. If you order takeouts from the lunch special menu, bring your own container for the soup. I was not aware that I had to supply my own soup container. I ended up paying for the container in order to bring the soup home.

Try Lobster Roll!!

Pleasant surroundings, a sizable menu, good food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices make this place a good find. They serve southern Chinese and Cantonese cuisine and are slightly upscale in that they use cloth table cloths and cloth napkins. Live seafood is also on the menu. They are setup for family style eating in that you order dishes and your table shares them with one another. This method allows you to try many more dishes depending upon the size of your group. They have a parking lot they share with a strip mall but they are in their own building separate from the rest. There is also street parking available.

We went as a group of 16 and had to wait over an hour to get two tables that weren't next to each other. The service wasn't good. The server just went to one table which gave the food order for both tables but didn't get our drink order. Had to wait a while to finally get our drinks. Refills took long also. When we finished they packed the one tables left overs but just took boxes to the other. Had to ask to get fortune cookies. There is no baby changing station in either bathroom. For a bill over $500 not including tip I expect better service.

Solid Chinese food. We love the chow mein with the panfpan egg noodles. It's a little more but they give you fairly large portions. Call and order ahead. They make they food pretty fast, and it's fresh.

Oak tree has a big menu and I have not failed to be satisfied when I order from them. I don't know exactly how long these guys have been here! They have been here as far as I remember. The food is always fresh and delicious and they are fast with your to go orders. Highly recommended!

Good menu, good service
