About Bone Kettle

Bone Kettle built its reputation on broths simmered for 24 hours — rich, deeply savory, and used as the foundation for Vietnamese-inspired pho, congee, and broth-forward small plates. The Raymond Ave setting in Old Town Pasadena feels casual enough for a weeknight dinner but deliberate enough for a first date. Chef Erwin Tjahyadi's Southeast Asian heritage shapes every bowl; the oxtail congee in particular is a signature that regulars return for weekly.
