2nd time here. We had a large group and ordered 2 bone broth soups. 1 with brisket and one with oxtail. Weird that the oxtail wasnt in the soup but on the side. The papaya salad had good flavor, the mala tofu was nice. The bone marrow was massive and fine but the ixtail dumplings were very mushy. The signature short rib for $64 had no flavor even though the presentation was nice. The Indian fried rice had a super fishy sauce that i poured thinking it was chili sauce. The shrimp pasta was good. Overall. I feel its very fusion and too much flavor going on. The ube cookie with ice crean was a good finish and the sticky mango rice was good. It would have been nice if the servers explained more about each dish. They also came over to tell us they had another party waiting so we had to leave.

Bone Kettle in Old Town Pasadena offers a truly memorable dining experience. The food is very good, with Southeast Asian flavors that feel both comforting and creative. Their signature bone broth dishes, small plates, and shareable entrées stand out for their depth of flavor and quality ingredients. The ambiance is warm and inviting—trendy yet cozy—making it a great spot for dinner with friends, family, or a special night out. The interior has a stylish, modern Asian fusion feel that still feels relaxed and welcoming. Customer service is also excellent. The staff especially Sonny and Grace are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which makes the whole experience feel smooth and well taken care of.

Excellent all around. Been wanting to try and finally got to try their brunch menu. Definitely coming back for the full dinner experience. Overall tasted so yummy, which is the most important. No doubt they’re one of the best in Pasadena and LA! Tried the duck and pandan - wow the duck was super crispy and juicy. Paired well with the waffles. Had to obviously try their bone broth noodles got it with sirloin. It was refreshing haha true bone broth, deep, rich, and legit. Also got this shrimp from the starter - very creative. Meaty shrimp with fried shells. Also portion was generous. Dessert was great as well!! Service was great, sat outside but the interior was also well done. Clean bathrooms. Highly recommend. Will be back.

Variety of delicious South East Asian small plates to share! Favorite dish (not pictured) was the oxtail dumplings, but every dish was fantastic! Go with a group to try more things. Great outdoor patio - perfect since we had our dog with us. They have nice cocktails too! One nit: not enough bread for all the bone marrow.

It was our first time here and the place looked interesting with the menu they offer. The staff was really good and accomodating even if we arrived earlier than our reservation time. The food was really interesting with the asian fusion and inspiration. We love the Ube Gnocchi and would highly recommend to those who wants to try something different. I wish there's more flavor to the Mi Goreng but overall the food is delicious! Would love to come back to try the other dishes!
