We discovered J J's because we love red bean paste buns. They have so much more! Grab a tray at the entrance and be prepared to stand in line. There is also a great Asian market nearby where you can get fresh fish and Asian specialties.

Getting Around

This is the closest stop on the Gold Line. If coming from LAX, catch the Flyaway bus to Union Station, then take the Gold Line to Pasadena. Give me a call, as I might be able to meet you at Allen Station if I'm not working.
