Cheesesteaks by Matū
Pasadena
Cheesesteaks by Matū in Pasadena elevates the classic sandwich using premium 100% grass-fed Wagyu beef, Cooper Sharp cheese, and signature long peppers served on a dense sesame seed baguette. While the $24 price point is noted as high, the experience is frequently described as phenomenal, often featuring long queues for their lunch-only service and house-made potato chips fried in beef tallow.
