Bay Poke in Pasadena has become one of our favorite spots. The fish is always fresh, the ingredients are plentiful, and everything tastes consistently good. My daughter and I come here often enough that the staff already know us and are always friendly. They even know our order, which always makes us feel welcome. I always stick to my usual bowl, and my daughter sticks to hers. The portions are generous, and every visit is just as good as the last. The restaurant is clean, and it's a great place for a fresh, healthy meal. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

A very good poke place. The fish quality is excellent. And the sauces are exceptional. The large poke here is $20. Inflation sucks but they do offer you a good portion of food for the money. Please support this business. read more

Come here for poke, portion size is much better than other spots in the area and their proteins are tasty. My husband and I tried spicy salmon and savory tuna (marinated ahi) for our small size bowls (but so filling)! The poke tastes fresh, they have the usual selection of toppings and avocado is no extra charge. Sauces are also tasty, I asked to top my bowl with their ponzu, house sauce, spicy mayo, and crunchy onion. They also sell strawberry lemonade and thai tea among other drinks. Parking is available in the plaza and they have a few tables inside. read more

Came by because I was craving for poke bowl. They are located in the same plaza of Vons. This place is very clean, and it has a few table inside of the store. I ordered a small bowl with vegetable base with a scoop of salmon and scallop. The portion was huge. I requested to add eel sauce in the bowl. They have a variety of toppings to add on. Price was reasonable. I was unable to finish the bowl. Parking was very easy in this location. I will come by again for more poke bowl. read more

Great spot to satisfy your poke cravings! It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking. I ordered a medium bowl which comes with three proteins, and it did not disappoint.

Food 5/5 So glad I tried this spot! The poke was amazing, and they offer a variety of sauces. I ordered the salmon and tuna, mixed with spicy mayo, and it was delicious. They also have a great selection of toppings, and I especially loved that avocado is included--usually it's an extra charge elsewhere. The portions were extremely generous, too. Customer Service 5/5 The staff were super friendly and respectful. I didn't feel rushed, even with the line, and I really enjoyed my visit. Great customer service! Ambience 5/5 This is more of a casual spot. I ordered my food for takeout. Wait Time 5/5 Everything was handled quickly and efficiently. Cost 5/5 The price was a bit higher than at typical poke spots, but the portions are huge, so I think it's fair. read more

Bay Poke - Poke Bowl 10/10 Delicious !! - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

OKAY SO First, like wdym the avocados are free to add into my poke bowl... like many places make me pay 2 bucks to add avocado. The things to add into my poke bowl are also super different from other places and they give me such a big portion. I ordered a small sized bowl and when I was done, they couldn't even close the lid plus I ate well. Honestly, this place is just delicious I loved the shrimp because they give me a lot and the sauces were delicious too. Especially their spicy mayo like that's the best thing I've tasted in a while. Just order a small and add as much things as you can atp... cause your gonna be full after the people are also very nice there and are patient while taking my order. It's really chill and sitting there while eating was the best read more

Bay Poke - Poke Bowl (Small) DO U SEE THE SIZE BRO it's so worth it - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

I ordered 5 different delivery orders in 1 week. Every time, I always get the large bowl (4 proteins). The last 2 orders that I received, they changed their packaging. It was crammed into a small black container (for a large order). The lid wasn't sealed properly. As a result, they arrived leaking. Was it mistakenly put into a different container? I've been a regular customer for years, but will no longer return until this is addressed. read more

The food was good and they have many drinks to choose from. The one star deducted was because i bought 2 mediums but on one of my bowl, they gave me a large sized cap. It spilt while i was driving and I'll have to clean my mats now :( Hopefully the employees could be more careful in the future. read more

Bay Poke - :( scooped up the rest back into my Poke Bowl (Medium) w large cap - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

With a variety of seafood available throughout the Southern California area, there is no shortage of cultures that know how to make this food in their own special ways. And with this, poke has been an up and coming dish. I personally have had limited exposure to this poke frenzy on the mainland. But when I saw Bay Poke running a large bowl BOGO special for $19.95 on UberEats, I figured it might be worth the time to grab a bowl and see how the food compares to that of Hawaii. With a customizable system for ordering, each person can make a bowl to their own custom taste and liking. And for this experience, I decided on a white rice base; salmon, spicy salmon, boiled Japanese scallop, and calamari salad for proteins; cucumbers, seaweed salad, imitation crab meat, Hawaiian sweet potato, edamame, sweet corn, pineapple, kimchi, masago eggs, and mandarin oranges for sides; and spicy ponzu sauce, lemon garlic sauce, sesame oil, spicy mayo, crispy onion, seasame seeds, and furikake for garnishes. I initially thought that the portion size would be small, especially with all of the items I was adding to the customizable order. But to my surprise, the amount of food given exceeded my expectations. Each piece of protein was large and thick in pieces which was very pleasant. The sides were also given generously which helped to make for a fulfilling meal. Twenty dollars may seem to be more expensive than a typical meal in the entire Greater LA area. But because this dish contains loads of fresh seafood, it was more than fair. Of the many things I ordered in the dish, everything just seemed to pile on which left no cohesiveness to be had (my fault). But nonetheless, each ingredient tasted as fresh as they could be. I personally enjoyed the salmon and scallop as the salmon had a good ratio of fatty to lean pieces while the scallop was large and included the other parts of the meat besides the medallion. The addition of the masago eggs and imitation crab meat was a nice touch, especially since they were lightly sweet, savory, and did not cost extra to add. For the sauces, the ponzu sauce gave both a sweet and spicy kick to the bowl which really helped combine the different flavors and textures. And for last, I enjoyed consuming the sesame oil as it made all of the ingredients taste more defined than they would have otherwise. It may seem to be a steep price for a meal at first. And without the special buy one get one offer, it could be harder to justify the meal at the regular $20 price tag. But if you can move past this, the proteins are wholeheartedly delicious, the sides are offered in plenty and given generously, and the sauces complement the ingredients well. With that all said, I would give Bay Poke a solid 4 star rating. Definitely give them a go if you're in the Pasadena area, it's definitely worth a try! read more

Bay Poke - Large Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

The inside of the restaurant is clean. As you walk up to the counter, you are greeted and help right away. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. As with any Poke bar, you get to choose what you want, but remember, you could just also ask them to make what they like. Usually people who work here will eat here, and they know how to make delicious combinations. You could ask them to walk you through what they like so that you could omit things you don't like too. Try it, worth it, no regrets. One of the best poke bar restaurants! read more

Great poke bowl, great service!! Poke bowl used to be very popular. But it seems like it's a little hard to find a good one recently. In searching for a high rating poke I came across Bay Poke. And it was great! Easy menu, Small Medium Large with 2/3/4 scoops of protein. But trust me, they use the same bowl and with all the extra, it will all end up equally BIG!! Nice protein options. Apart from the typical salmon, tuna, shrimp. They got the Japanese scallop (NOT bay scallop but the Japanese one). We tried the spicy salmon, soy sauce tuna, scallop, calamari salad. All excellent. As for the side, so many different options and they are so generous. Basically they will add whatever you want in a decent portion. So if you like me, want to try a little of everything, you will end up having a huge bowl! Price is very reasonable. Ingredients are all fresh. The two servers that were helping us are all kind and nice and helpful. A wonderful poke place in town. read more

Was in the area and couldn't figure out what to have for lunch. Have always passed by this location, so decided to give it a try. It's a small shop in a very busy shopping center that is anchored by a Vons market. I can see how the parking lot could get very busy during peak times. Got into the store and was greeted by some very nice staff. I noticed it was "cafeteria-style" poke, so you get to choose your base and toppings. I must say that they have a lot of offerings, so depending on what size you choose, it could be an overwhelming process. Felt a bit rushed by the staff to make my choices...so it might help to choose beforehand (but part of the fun is seeing what they have available). My items were nicely packed into a medium-sized container and filled to the brim. Very tasty and fresh meal (maybe snack to some) and I hope to visit again. Price point is what one would expect for poke...but it's the items that they offer which make it stand out from the rest. read more

Bay Poke - Medium-size...very filling! - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've followed bay poke to various locations, Irvine, Anaheim, and now Pasadena. I love their poke, I haven't tried many places since this one has everything I like. I get a medium bowl with white rice, imitation crab, shrimp with spicy mayo, house sauce, and sesame oil, with cucumber. Add avocado, top off with crunchy onion and garlic and spicy mayo drizzle. They never disappoint. Parking has not been bad the times I've gone, it is located in a shopping center with many stores. The shop itself is pretty small, they have some tables inside. Service was good as well, went around 6 and it wasn't packed. read more

Generous servings of poke with a side of fantastic service from Mychael. This hit the spot for a poke craving I had on a hot day. The inside was clean and heavily air conditioned.

Bay Poke - Medium Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

I don't recommend this place. I came in to get a medium poke bowl and Snapple tea. Initially, service was ok. The server appeared to be bothered to have to serve me and gave me attitude. I was eating and after a few bites, I found this worm on the salmon. I politely went back and asked for a refund and they asked me why. I told them I found a worm on the salmon and they tried looking for it themselves. Another server (who was very nice) came out and took over, she also had the audacity to ask for the Snapple tea back. I told her I was keeping the tea because I had already opened it. They refunded the Poke bowl but all had attitude about it. I do not recommend this place. read more

Bay Poke - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

Poke, poke...I can't seem to get enough. Lately, I've been craving it and decided to try someplace new. I ordered a bowl and miso soup from here via Grub Hub. The miso was weird. More like broth than miso and had strange things in it. I took one sip and decided to skip it. The poke and the rice were in separate containers, which was fine because I wasn't tempted to finish the rice. They give you the option of white or brown or you can choose a base of spring mix instead. Ordering online was easy. Just check a box to select your protein, sauces, sides, toppings, mix ins, & drizzles. The Poke was ok. The ingredients were fresh. However, I like my usual place better. If I do order from here again, I'll pass on the miso. read more

I ordered to go through yelp. I got their large bowl with 4 scoops of protein. 3 spicy tuna 1 cooked shrimp. I got cilantro cucumbers and some sesame seeds. They have a large selection of things to add but I like it simple. Their spicy Ponzu sauce was delicious. The restaurant is very busy I am glad I ordered ahead of time. The ladies were super friendly. They also sell ice cream! read more

Shocked that this place has such a low score! Poke was fresh and packed. They don't skimp on the fish like others. The large could be split between 2 meals for sure! Will be coming over from several towns over to pick up on a day we don't have time to cook. read more

This place is always solid. They're friendly, don't scimp on the servings, and everything's always fresh.

Delicious poke! I was looking for a hearty snack that would tie me over for a few hours before dinner plans. I got the kids bowl and it was the perfect amount. It was quick and everything tasted fresh. Would love to see some more inviting/spacious seating options! read more

Always clean, fresh, fast service. And they help u along with the ordering process. I've been to other poke places, nothing as good as this one. Thank u for always being perfect everyone I come in. read more

This was a "no" for me. For $16 for a small bowl, I expected the meal to be, well, just tastier! I did the half and half with the rice and salad. Salad tastes moldy so I threw most of it away. Rice was all mushy and stuck together, very bland and yucky. I ended up eating most of just the toppings. I initially wanted scallops, but they only had cooked scallops, which looked like they would give me a tummy ache, so I stayed away from that. The two scoops of salmon was alright. All of the other toppings were fine and acceptable, They have a nice assembly line so you get your food relatively fast. But it just wasn't tasty, so I won't be coming back here for my poke bowls. read more

Bay Poke is a local favorite. It's one of my personal favorites spots in the sgv. Portions are huge. Honestly, any of the proteins and all the toppings works well with each other. I recommend adding mandarins into your bowl. Just trust the process. It definitely helps with some sweetness and juiciness into your bowl. I usually get savory tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon. I add almost all the toppings they have without any extra charged toppings. My mix in sauces are ponzu and spicy mayo. I typically go to this location over the sg location. read more

I usually love this spot and always order the large poke bowl. Today when I received my order I noticed the spring mix was soggy, tossed that out and ginger and kimchi had a rotten slimy taste to it. It was a buy 1 get one and had to toss them both out. Wasted 30$ on rotten food read more

This place is slowly becoming our go to poke spot. The fish taste great and they add a lot of toppings to the bowl. I also believe that they do not charge for avocado which makes you feel like you're ballin on a budget. The service is good. They help you with everything you need. The vibe is what you would expect. Nothing crazy. A few tables inside with a few tables outside. Parking is easy with a huge lot. Overall: Will return for some POKE read more

Great customer service. Staff is attentive and greet you the moment you walk in. Food is delicious. Ambiance is clean and relaxing to enjoy your meal. read more

Tried this for the first time today after I ran out of time to grab food at the Huntington Library before it closed. I was very pleasantly surprised by the big portion. I got a small but they pack it full for you and you can get whatever protein and topping you want. I appreciate that the workers were all nice and do not give customers a hard time. read more

I love this location because they have toppings that my local restaurant (in OC) does not. These folks have oranges, purple yam & Japanese scallops - all of which I can not resist. The service is always fast & friendly. I eat here nearly every time I'm in Pasadena (monthly). read more

Medium poke bowl, 2 picky tuna, 1 spicy salmon, avocado, crispy onions, house sauce, spicy mayo, imitation crab, seaweed salad with white rice as the base . It was pretty tasty. Me personally I have to eat my poke right away while it's fresh. I also got a milk tea with brown sugar. The customer service was fine, and the ambiance was okay.

I rarely come to Pasadena anymore but had to take my car in for service and stopped here for lunch. This poke bowl was really good! I haven't had one in a while and forgot how good it is, but at least this place checks all the boxes -- fresh ingredients, unlimited toppings, plenty of sauces, list goes on... Definitely healthier than a lot of what's around here. After eating the medium bowl, I was full, so even though it's pricey, the portions are generous. Overall, the food was excellent and the service was fast. I would certainly return for more. read more

The poke bowl was exactly what I needed/craving. Come here if you want a solid poke bowl. I don't remember exactly what I got but it was all so good, and the portion was filling for the price it was at (~$16 for the smallest bowl). Service was swift yet patient with me as I read through the many options on the menu. I ate at the restaurant and there was some seating, but it's designed more like a takeout spot. There's plenty of parking in the lot in the plaza for easy takeout. read more
