New Businesses in Old Pasadena!

California Chutney

California Chutney stemmed from a desire to share healthy food and Indian flavors at a fast pace.

Fragrant and delicious, spices and herbs naturally contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that are important for your body.

Guppy House, named after the most popular fish species in the world, is best known for their titanic sized Shaved Ice with delicious toppings.  They also offer a range of dining options with items such as Hawaiian fried rice and traditional Beef Stew Noodles.  

 

 

Spinfish Poke House

Spinfish Poke House was inspired by the founders' many travels to Hawaii over the years, and falling in love with the beautiful island-state. From the picturesque scenery to the local energy, it's easy to see why people love the islands. They fell even deeper in love when they discovered poke... Cubes of raw Ahi tuna marinated in local ingredients and seasonings served over fluffy rice.
