Review Canoe House - South Pasadena

I came here a couple of years ago and never reviewed this location. The staffs are fast and helpful. They take care of customers very well. The food tastes great. The Hawaiian Fried Rice portion is really huge, enough for 2 people. Parking is easy on the streets, front and back of the resto. It has outdoor seating with has shade and is cornered from wind.

Let’s just call this “empty table” review. We have been here for an hour or more. Our waitress came once to apologize for shortage in the kitchen. But being with two kids, I think service can be way better…. Some food arrived…over one hour after order. 2 orders out of 8 are incorrect! Really? Update: food was good. To give them credit - they did give our party 25% off. Changed starts from 1 to 3

The decor in this place is very cool with a tropical vibe, people that work there are friendly and very helpful, the food was very good, nice drinks and a tiki bar. I heard on the weekends they serve Hawaiian maca demia nut panqueques 😱😋I really need to go back one day...

It was our first time to eat there. After ordering our food, it was served within 15 minutes. The food was delicious. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with French fries. My daughter ordered the short ribs locomoco. Both were delicious. My grand daughter ordered Mac n cheese, a lava cake with ice cream. Prices are worth and reasonable with the taste and the amount of serving.

Cannot say enough great things about this place. Its just plain delicious. HIGHLY recommend the Short Rib Loco Moco with fried rice. Eggs Benedict were amazing along with the macadamia nut French toast. Service is great and parking is decent.

Going in on a Tuesday night for dinner. I arrived with some family members to celebrate my mother's birthday. The staff was professional and courteous. The food was excellent, and they even had a pineapple upside down cake for dessert. All in all I had a wonderful time at the Canoe House.

What A Pleasant Surprise! My son took me to Canoe House after we visited the floats. Absolutely loved it! Sweet Atmosphere and the food was fresh and delicious. It was cool to finally eat something different! Our waiter was very attentive. We wanted for nothing!

I've walked past this restaurant several times and always ignored it. It reminded me of The Island chain which I'm not fond of. But Dine in LA gave me an excuse to check them out and I'm so glad I did. I tried the Lemongrass coconut soup, the short rib Loco Moco and Pineapple upside down cake. All of these items far exceeded my expectations. The soup was great, all the flavors of the lemongrass, coconut and crab cake through. The loco Moco was outstanding. Shredded short rib, fried egg, gravy and rice. My only complaint was there was far too much onion crisps, but I just removed what I didn't want so it wasn't a big deal. Pineapple upside down cake was great, served warmed up with a scoop of ice cream. In conclusion, I regret not giving this place a chance sooner. It's definitely far superior to islands, and I will be back for sure.
