PokeMIX Pasadena Reviews
Excellent service, great price for happy hour drink during summer, yummy poke!
Aside from poke bowl offerings, this place offers it in sushi triangles as well! Imagine all the goodness in a compact, to go form! They make it fresh, based on the preset combinations that you choose. The drinks are not as good as the food. If you are looking for fresh ingredients, friendly owners who make the food, you will be happy with this place!
The best poke in Pasadena for sure. Fish quality is great and I love that they have tea eggs! People complain about the lack of toppings, but I like the simplicity of this place. They do what they do well. They have many tea selections and the teas are sweetend with honey to make it more healthy.
Delicious poké with the finest ingredients, super fresh & high quality. As well as tasty boba tea, love this place!
Very good selection of Poke mix ingredients and the staff are very helpful too - would highly recommend. Each day of the week has different ingredients too!

The fish is awesome! Love coming here for a nice healthy lunch. Service is also great all employees are always so nice.
The service was excellent. My sister, her husband, and I went there at almost closing time. The lady that was helping us had helped a lady and her kids in front of us. She took awhile to help us but acknowledged us and we didn't mind the wait. She was friendly to the little boy. When it came to help us, she gave us free drinks for patiently waiting, again we didn't mind the wait. The food was excellent and I would recommend anyone to go there.
Great experience with the food selections. Especially appreciated that the shop had closed (around 4 minutes early) but reopened (unlocked doors and unpacked foods) to prepare a great(!) Poke bowl. My husband rushed to get there for the food so he was very happy and grateful. We WILL return... for food and service.
Fresh tea, got their hot Chrysanthemum tea that they brew on the spot, always fresh. The cookies are all delicious. The bowls are fresh, great house sauce. They are always friendly and welcoming. They have some chairs and tables outside, which is nice.

This is a very nice poke restaurant located in South Lake district of Pasadena. They have a variety of proteins including shrimp, octopus, imitation krab, scallops, salmon, ahi and spicy tuna. They also have multiple add ons and sauces. They also have a decent hot and cold tea selection. The place is very clean, the staff is friendly and helpful.
Good poke for a reasonable price. The staff are super nice. They gave me extra sea weed for no additional charge whereas most charge extra. However there is no large selection of toppings like most other poke places I’ve been to. I would recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a refreshing lunch.
Pretty good poke bowl! Medium was pretty big and more than enough for dinner. Service was friendly.

We enjoy this poke place quite a bit among the many new options out there. They have garlic chips which are a delicious addition. A few times they have skimped on the amount of food but most of the time, we've been very satisfied.
Ordered a small poke bowl and a black milk tea. Serving of salmon was much smaller than expected, especially for the price. Other toppings were fine. Rice was mushier than typical poke or sushi rice. Altogether a very mediocre poke bowl. The tea was almost undrinkable. I’ve been to many boba shops and always get the same order. This was by far the worst I’ve had - the tea and pearls both had an unappetizing flavor, and the texture was also off-putting.

Customizable poke bowl with decent fish however there aren't very many toppings to choose from. I think there were only 4 or 5 toppings. No onions, green onions, cilantro, jalapenos, fruits, edamame. Just corn, masago, seaweed salad, and ginger. Hard to make your poke bowl flavorful with so few topping choices.
Decent poke, you can customize it to your liking. I had a medium bowl, which is 3 scoops of poke, with half brown rice and salad for my base. Then I had ahi tuna and salmon for my poke. I topped it off for cucumbers, seaweed, umami salt, masago, and dried seaweed followed by a ginger sauce. Overall it's good, but the actual fish didn't have a distinct flavor imparted by a marinade, all the flavor was based on the topping sauce. Still, it was enjoyable, tasted fresh, and portion size was enough to make me full. Staff was very friendly and helpful but poke was average.
Omg staff was super nice but mannnnn, I had never ran so fast to the bathroom after eating something. When I got there the place smelled way more fishy than other poke places. I should’ve known… all these reviews seem a little old so I’m wondering if maybe they just don’t switch the fish as often or idk… but I’m just glad I have a strong stomach and it won’t escalate to something worse. But yeah, idk what to suggest. But again, the employee was super nice.
Honestly not the best. Decided to switch it up for lunch and it just didn't taste fresh. Options are also very limited. Hoping I don't get sick after eating this.
The fish was fresh but there are only a few toppings to choose from. This was the most bland poke bowl I have ever had. Staff is nice and friendly as well but options are severely lacking.
Could not have been more excited to find a poke place nearby; unfortunately, I had a very poor experience. The fish in my bowl was not fresh, and the seasoning they used (I think) made it mushy; to top this disaster, they mixed it with large chunks of raw onion and destroyed the flavor. It was quite inedible. The rice was overcooked. Also, they forgot the seasoning in my bowl and the boba in my tea. Since it was a to go order, I discovered it all at home. The food was dismal, but extra star is because the staff was nice. Too bad for them, as I would never order from this restaurant again.

Ordered a tuna & salmon poke bowl. What I received initially was just rice and a few pieces of fish — nothing like the menu photo on food delivery app.I ordered several times b4 “build my own bowl” n this time I just want the ready to eat one..but there was nothing about the description the food like this. I requested a refund on app and went back to the store. The owner asked me to cancel the refund request before adding the missing toppings. I agreed and canceled refund req. After bringing it office and eating it, I found a piece of plastic in the bowl. and I req refund again, the owner called me and claimed it was “seaweed,” and even questioned whether I’ve eaten seaweed before. This experience was extremely disappointing — both the food quality and the way the issue was handled. If you’re not able to maintain basic food quality and service standards, you probably shouldn’t be running a restaurant.
Honestly this place use to be my favorite spot. But after monday being charged on my card even though they were closed was one, I tried ordering ahead of time so it can be ready. Today I ordered in person not wanting the same thing to happen. The lady took my order and a younger person was working on mine. 5 min after me the lady took another order who had a friend, He stopped doing my order to take an order which was only drinks. The young person told the lady to stop working on the other ladys order so she can work on mine. Also on the sushi he made me there was these blue stuff on there thats part of a scrub or something. Just go here to buy poke only, NOT SUSHI.
Used to go to flour and tea often when it was near del mar station. It was a good place to work and grab a boba with different good flavors. Stay there for a little longer and they had basic pastries and nothing was exceptional but it was good and fairly cheap for the area. Since moving to lake st and becoming a poke place as well the quality's just gotten steadily worse. Some of the pictures of poke bowls are old and they're no longer that normal/decent/nice looking. The fish is warm and usually a little off tasting, and all of the ingredients they put so little of anything that you wonder what you're paying for. Currently for $11 you can get a small and it's less than half of what you'd get anywhere else for the same price or less, and the quality is SO much worse. Every time I've eaten (even just to go onigiri) at the new location I've gotten sick. Every single time. Ditto for drinks, tea, boba and other sweet drinks are of course always really sugary and sweet, but whatever sweetener they're using at the new location seems like everything is either hfcs or agave syrup instead of real sugar and in taste and how it hits your stomach it's all just overly sweet that itll make you sick. For a long time I just figured theyd gone a little downhill and maybe it was just me being picky, but then a friend mentioned they also now get sick every time they've come here.
