The restaurant is small by comparison. About 7-8 tables at most with maybe 5 more stools by the window. If your party is more than 4, I'd say try another place. There are also a few tables outside but it's January and L.A. has been cold. When the weather is warmer, sit outside and enjoy. It is especially great for lunch if you work near by.
The food is great! They're individual dishes but the portions are large. Especially for the price ($5.00-$7.00 each). Just about anything on the menu is good. I've never tried the exotic stuff but if you stick with the traditional rice dishes, fried rice, noodles, soups, you'll be fine. It's not your typical Chinese restaurant where everyone eats family style. But if you're in Pasadena and craving Chinese food, this is your best bet. There's also a Panda Express about 1/2 mile down Fair Oaks. I'd take Phoenix every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Their address is:
456 Fair Oaks Ave
South Pasadena, CA 91030

It's in a shopping strip next to a Starbucks.
