Hivachi-San Pomona Reviews
Pricy but definitely worth it. I like their salmon!
Wow, very much recommended
Quality healthy food
Good food!
This is a really delicious place to eat on campus. I am really looking forward to the opening. The poke here is really good. I like the bowl option because I can pick one fish and as many toppings as I want. The toppings are unlimited. The boba is good too. I like the milk tea with boba and matcha option.
Great selection of food, you can customize your meal! It is a good spot to grab a lunch, before the beginning of the class!
Go for cold toppings, and half salad half rice! .a good place to eat if you want a healthy meal that doesn’t leave you feeling heavy afterwards
A poki place that is located in cal poly pomona. A bit expensive for students however one of the few options if you want asian food.

Meat to rice ratio is terrible and it’s one of the more expensive eateries on campus. Thai tea is also bad.
While I'm grateful for healthy eating options on campus and their short line compared to qdoba, I found their salmon dry and flavorless. My bowl was overall gross and hard to finish. Bleh!

They just keep serving less food by the day.
Yeah the portions are small the food is low quality and it is expensive.There is a reason this place has the shortest line on campus. The last time I ate there their avocado was black or at least 30% of it was black. I mean I am paying $10 for a small portion and low quality food. Also my friend got food poisoning from the cold proteins there ,but I never had a food poisoning from them.
Gave my friend food poisoning and it is generally bland and hard to get down. Don't go here... theres a reason why the line is so short all the time.
