What Tryitonce doesn't like about Edwin Mills By Equator:
The flavors of the food need to be more authentic and less sweet for Asian cuisine. The sweet black sauce should be lighter. Some dishes need to have the correct names, for example vermicelli is not the same as chow mein. View all feedback. What JORGE AVILA likes about Edwin Mills By Equator:
The best place to spend a fun afternoon with friends besides the best prices on drinks. The best happy hour in Pasadena, I recommend Lychee martini the best. Thanks Edwin Mills staff. View all feedback.

Equator Cafe in Millers Alley offers a European street scene vibe with a great outdoor dining experience. The menu is diverse and interesting, with highlights like Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna and Chicken Pineapple Curry. While some reviewers found the flavors not authentic enough for Asian cuisine, the overall experience was positive. The live music and friendly staff add to the great atmosphere. From seafood dishes to specialty cocktails, Edwin Mills is praised for reasonable prices, tasty food, and a welcoming environment. Live music, unique decor, and dog-friendly patio make it a must-visit spot in Pasadena for a memorable night out.

The staff was fantastic. The food was delicious and we loved having live music. It's off the beaten path so not touristy. We will be back!
