I’ve been to this place numerous times over the years and it’s one of the best Chinese restaurants in California. Excellent menu selection and great customer service.

Very good Chinese food in south Pasadena. We’ve been coming here for 25 years. The Atmosphere bright, roomy, clean. They have live seafood tanks and lunch specials. Lots of parking and there free. They can accommodate large party. No reservations needed for under 6 people. If your in this area, it is worth a taste.

Love this place. Great, friendly service, excellent yummy food. Especially love the Chefs special tender beef filet. It’s a must order. Also had war wanton soup, string beans with pork and assorted appetizers and combo fried rice. All delicious. Service is friendly and fast. The wait staff make you feel like they are happy you’ve come. I like that the dining room decor includes table linens and interesting art and light fixtures, yet feels comfortable and welcoming.

My wife and I and including our friends decided to have Chinese meal then our friends tell us about the Chinese restaurants in South Pasadena called the Oak Tree Inn. My wife and I surprised there’s a Chinese restaurant in that location we throught it was a motel for years but it was a restaurant. Our friends say they never been there but other family members been there and they say the food is really good. We step in the restaurant we were surprise how nice inside the restaurant is then the hostess show us to the table and hand each of us a menu then we order our drinks.

Lobster on par with Boston lobster. Two of the best in south California. Egg yolks fried crab is an interesting idea but not quite pulled it off compared to classic styles like ginger and green onions. Regarding the remaining dishes, the Cantonese style diced fillet mignon is excellent, and recommended. Something Luna Asia should learn from. Fried oysters good to very good, oil temperature a little high made the batter a hair too dark. Fried rice is above average, except I prefer it without diced carrots. Steamed fish has exacting temperature control so texture is excellent, if the flavoring of the sauce is better, it would be a home run. Young bean plant is excellent, enough garlic and I can’t find fault anywhere. The stuffed chicken skin was a slight backward step, and was not as good as the bomb pre-covid. The shrimp paste recipe changed both in texture and flavouring, slightly gummy and bland, but on the whole still is good to fair. Recommended for novelty appeal because nobody else I know do this dish.

The food is great and served in a nice atmosphere. I wish they’d treat their fish in tanks a bit better. Portions are large and can leave you leftovers for future meals. Delicious!

The food was great !! BUT they kept hurrying us up to leave it was my granddaughter graduation so we all arrived at around 8:10 pm one of the gentlemen said hurry or we can’t feed you I understand they have a set schedule but we didn’t arrive to late they close at 9:00 pm and they stood right in top of us waiting for them to pick up are plates so we can hurry up faster it was just a lil uncomfortable for ME but other than that it was good food I will be going back just a lil earlier so I won’t be pressured to hurry and swallow . So my stars are low because of the atmosphere were you have all the waiters just waiting for you to leave!!!

A good Chinese restaurant in South Pasadena, often overlooked by the vast majority of newer Chinese population in San Gabriel Valley. I think because of the multi-racial customer base, many local Chinese may think it’s not “authentic”, but nothing could be further from the truth! For one, the restaurant’s “banquet style” Chinsse food is really quite delicious and on part with other local Chinese restaurants. I think Oak Tree only loses our due to its limited dining room space. Please visit, even the lunch special selection is quite excellent!

I’ve been coming here for family special events since 1992. This is my go-to spot for authentic Cantonese dishes served family-style. If you’re only ordering for yourself, then leftovers will be your new favorite meal. Why stick with boring Panda dishes when you could have an entire pan-fried Cantonese style chicken or a whole plate of tofu! My standards are the green beans, Chef Special filet, and fried-tofu.
