The wonton ravioli and loup de mer were excellent, as was the service. So lucky to have this gem in South Pasadena. We celebrated a birthday and all truly enjoyed our dining experience. My son also enjoyed the grilled octopus appetizer - unique.

We really enjoy Magnolia House. We have two Vegans in the family and although Magnolia House doesn't have extensive vegetarian or Vegan options, they were delighted with the dish they had - avocado toast. The Huevos Rancheros are some of the best around. However, the highlight of this restaurant is the wait staff and hostess. Incredibly attentive, making sure you are always well taken care of. The service alone is 5 star.
