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.

- Lychee dragonfruit lemonade $6 - pretty looking and pretty tasting - Papaya salad $18 - against our first instincts to go with the Thai steak salad (Green papaya, mangoes, tomatoes, chili, cilantro, green beans, green onions, peanuts, Tobiko, shrimp, garlic chips.) Not much spice and very few shrimps. However, still good. - Tartare $26 (Charred hanger Steak, pickled mustard greens, shallots, chives, yuzu aioli, sesame rice crackers) I liked this tartare, crisps weren't my favorite but it was still good! - Bone Marrow $29 (Ginger scallion confit, sesame oil, baguettes, red endives, baby frisee, apples, pears, citrus dressing) I think this is a great value for this price. I have been to other restaurants where they give you one large single bone and you're given three here. The salad and baguettes pair well. Take the bones home use them for your own broth. - Oxtail dumplings* $18 (Oxtail, mushrooms, leeks, sesame, sorrel, San Bai Su, chili oil) The sauce is a mix of plum sauce, plum wine, vinegar, and addiction. Don't let them take the sauce away from you. It is so good SO GOOD. - The ramen made with 36-hour bone broth $24 5 oz. of artisanal ramen noodles, heirloom carrots, red onions & cilantro. You can add oxtail, sirloin, chicken, tempeh or what we added- 7 oz. brisket beef (sous vide for 12 hours with garlic, butter & herbs). We also added a soft-poached egg for $3 and white rice for $3 - that rice paired well with leftover oxtail sauce. Bone Kettle adds 20% gratuity "service charge" to each bill to take care of the tip. Bring cash if you want to give an additional tip. The server offered recommendations freely and was always spot-on. Really attentive to refilling beverages here.

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.

Interesting southeast Asian fusion restaurant. The beef salad was our favourite. Great portion and flavours. The rendang carbonara was good but didn’t have the rendang flavour we had while living in Malaysia. We assumed the Lobster chili was a play on Singapore chili crab. Again, it was good but was a bit far from Singapore chili crab…we lived there for 5 years so had our good share. Overall I would come back since the food was solid. Just don’t expect authentic.

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.
