Reviews for Poke Salad Bar in Pasadena, CA
They close at 9. We got there at 8:25. The teen at the counter told us that they are only doing to-go orders. So we left.... Today?s work ethic has turned to cr^p and owners don?t care. Read more
Ordered the small with half white rice and salad, all toppings, ahi tuna and albacore, and the remaining toppings with yuzu... ponzu sauce. Portions have remained the same, plentiful, satisfying, and delicious. Can get a little busy on weekday eveningsbut 7 is still a good time. Outdoor seating is available though you'll have to mind any passersby and the traffic. Yes they doseemed short staffed but the team was very efficient in getting our order from start to finish.

It?s usually quite hard to distinguish Poke places from one another because they tend to offer such a homogeneous good in such a... homogeneous environment. This one, somehow managed to stand out for us! Their selection was diverse and rich, their portion sizevery generous and service was fast and efficient. Probably one of the best Poke bowls I?ve ever had! Read more

This place is great. The food is yummy and the staff is friendly and efficient. To order, there is a multi step process. First,... you select your size and base. Then your toppings that are mixed in. Next you choose your proteins - you can mix and match.After that, you select your tops that actually go on top. Finally, you pick your sauce(s) and the finishing touches. Bowlsstart at 13.99 and include 2 scoops of protein. Each scoop is about 2+ ounces. A medium has 3 scoops and costs $2 more. A largehas 4 scoops and cost $4. Bases include: white rice, quinoa/brown rice, salad, half & half, or chips. Mix ins include:crabmeat, cucumber, onions, seaweed, pineapples, sweet corn, jalapeños, cilantro, or everything. Proteins include: ahi tuna,spicy tuna, salmon, tofu&avocado, scallop, albacore (seared), scallops (small ones appear to be in a mayo), octopus, orshrimp. Sauces include: chipotle mayo, yuzu ponzu, sesame shoyu, wasabi mayo, sweet chili, or sweet eel. Tops include:edamame, green onion, ginger, wasabi, sesame seed, furikake (seaweed and seed mix), crunchy onion, or everything. You can alsoadd spice level. I ordered: Large bowl, white rice, cucumber, cilantro, extra pineapple, and seaweed salad, ahi as well astofu&avocado, yuzu ponzu, ginger, and furikake. It was $17.99. The fish was fresh. I was actually concerned about this at firstbecause upon entering, I could smell the seafood. But, I?m happy to note that the fish was very mild- not strong at all. Thetoppings were also fresh, and you can ask for extra if you want more than usual. The cilantro was all green, nothing was wilted.The avocado was perfectly ripe. The sizing is really good. I mean- I barely ate 1/4 of my rice and I still have some cucumber,seaweed, and avocado to much on later as a second meal. My one complaint is the yuzu ponzu. I don?t taste anything citrus, soI?m not sure what happened. I saw her mix the sauce in with my fish, but it isn?t very flavorful. I taste very mild, Read more
