Wokcano

americanized asian fusion

33 S. Fair Oaks, Old Town Pasadena, CA 91103 (map it!)

Wokcano is a polished asian fusion restaurant that's open late and also delivers. That's their big draw for me :)

Specifically, they claim to be open until 2am Weekdays, and 4am Weekends. I've found that they don't always live up to the 4am claim, but it's close enough for my purposes.

Food / Service

Wokcano serves a mix of americanized asian dishes. That said, the food is actually pretty good and generally of high quality.

They serve a moderate variety of sushi, alongside americanized asian standards like kung pao chicken, pad thai, spring rolls, and so on.

At the end of the meal, they serve some unusual (and tasty) frosted fortune cookies; I hadn't seem them before visiting Wokcano but now they seem to be popping up elsewhere.

Environment / Ambience

Dark and cave-like, but in a hip sort of way. They employ young energetic waitstaff, and have a relatively young clientele overall. This combined with the loudish music and the outdoor patio makes it an amusing place for an evening out with your friends.

The also have a smallish sushi bar, but I've never actually tried it.
