I'll be honest, I've never seen Ant Man. I can be selective about what Marvel movies I will sit through. Ant Man just didn't seem one that I'd enjoy, so I passed on it.
However, I knew I wanted to eat at Pym's Kitchen, which is a quick service spot, when we went to California Adventure. If you were not aware, California Adventure is located across from Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Pym's Kitchen is based on Ant Man where everything has either been enlarged or shrunk. You'll find it in Avenger's Campus. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The good news is, you can mobile order at Pym's Kitchen. This means you can skip the line, because sometimes it can get long.
It does look pretty cool on the outside:
The inside is neat as well. There is giant ketchup & mustard bottles, plus other cool details:
There is inside & outside seating.
We got the following:
The Proton Punch which is lemonade, berry puree, cherry-flavored boba, and grenadine filled pipette:
This was tasty and unique to look at. We would order it again.
Now, we decided we could use some extra caffeine so we got the Cookies & Cream Cold Brew. It was chocolate cookie cold brew with sweet cold foam.
It was...well, it tasted too much like coffee. And it's like, duh, it's cold brew COFFEE, but I was delusional and thought it was taste more like chocolate? If you're a fan of coffee, you'd probably enjoy this. It certainly does look delicious.
Food wise? Well, Tommy got the Quantum Pretzel and it was large. It came with sharp cheddar cheese beer sauce and oh my gosh, it was delish! We all loved it.
Natalie got the Pepper Particle Pasta which was campanelli pasta topped with grilled chicken, spicy tomato cream sauce, chimichurri and parmesan. This had a delightful flavor, but was too spicy for Natalie. I ended up switching my dish with her. I loved this pasta and would get it again but warning, if spicy foods aren't for you, avoid. Natalie didn't realize it would be THAT spicy.
I ended up getting the Not So Little Chicken Sandwich. It's a fried chicken breast, teriyaki, and red chili sauces and pickled cabbage slaw on brioche, served with crispy potato bites. Basically tater tots. But anyhow, this chicken was so good and amusing! You get this tiny bun and giant chicken. And yes, it's scrumptious. I'd suggest eating with a knife and fork though. But the flavors were there.
Oh, and even better, there are freestyle Coca-Cola machines so you can get as many refills as you'd like. If you need to fill water bottles, it's the perfect spot to do so.

We will return if we're ever in California Adventure again. Check out the menu here to see everything they have!
Would you eat at Pym's Kitchen?

Sharp cheddar cheese beer sauce? That’s a dream combo right there. This sounds like the perfect spot for a quick refresh.
ReplyDeleteThe theme of everything being shrunk or enlarged is so creative, and the convenience of mobile ordering is a big plus. I’d love to check it out!!
ReplyDeleteoh. i need to check this out for a future trip there. And i loved Ant-Man (Paul Rudd after all!)
ReplyDeleteThe Proton Punch and the Quantum Pretzel sound wonderful. Such an interesting place to eat. I wish I were closer to be able to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun spot to eat. I’d definitely try the proton punch and the spicy dish.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your experience at Pym’s Kitchen — your fun descriptions of the Marvel-themed décor and oversized props made me feel like I was right there in Avengers Campus. The variety of dishes you tried, from the flavorful Quantum Pretzel to the spicy Pepper Particle Pasta and the tasty Not So Little Chicken Sandwich, sounded both creative and delicious (just with a bit of a spice warning)! Thanks for sharing such a detailed, personal review — I now have a great sense of what to order and what to expect when I visit California Adventure next time.
ReplyDeleteWow, I would love to visit someday! That pretzel and coffee look so good!
ReplyDeleteOH wow, the food and drink sounds great there. I love the sound of the cookies and cream cold brew. It tasting like chocolate more than coffee works for me although I do like both. YUM!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun place to eat. I like spicy stuff but here lately my stomach says not today. It just depends and I never know when it’s going to act up. Maybe I should get some tums to have on hand so I can try that spicy dish. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great place to eat at California Adventure, That pretzel looks so delicious and huge!
ReplyDeleteI've eaten at Pym's Kitchen before, or rather I've had snacks & drinks but enjoyed it outside. We found tables hard to come by on the day we visited California Adventure.
ReplyDeleteThis spot looks awesome and I loved the look of that coffee and also your sandwich! I love the chicken hanging out like that as I love eating delicious chicken cutlets as is LOL. That flavor combo sounds so incredible too! Will for sure check this place out when I can :)
ReplyDeleteMost weekday cooking has little to do with inspiration. It usually comes down to timing, heat control, and how irritating cleanup feels after a long day. Someone mentioned a pan warping during normal use, which quickly changed the tone of the conversation. The thread drifted away from meals and into real-life durability talk. People compared wear marks, stacking habits, and whether cookware can survive daily abuse without becoming a chore. In the middle of that back-and-forth, a reply included a screenshot and a reference to https://hexclad.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html as part of the discussion. Taste still mattered, but not nearly as much as avoiding stubborn burnt spots late at night.
