    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.

    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. The fish was fresh and I appreciated that avocado was included at no extra charge. Definitely a good spot to check out if you're in the mood for poke!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The service is so nice. The setting is decent nothing to crazy. And the food looks fresh! I ordered a medium bowl and it was filled to the top. Yummy! Also ordered a Thai tea oat-milk with brown sugars and ulala they made it with love.

    Medium-size...very filling!

    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.

    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. The quality of fish, toppings, and sauces all exceeded my expectations. Mychael was super helpful and friendly for our first time here!

    First of all, I felt good because the owner and staff were so friendly, and the restaurant was really neat and clean. I ordered a medium sized poke, and it was a lot of food. I liked that I could add my favorite side dishes like corn, salad, onion flakes, etc. for free.

    Love the poke plate! It divides everything up in cute separate portions! Great idea if you don't want everything mixed in a poke bowl!

    Rice base for the Poke.
    Nikki B.

    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.

    Plus they sell ice cream too

I tell myself I'm just coming for the loco moco and somehow a musubi magically appears in front of me. Science can't explain it. Consistently delicious food, huge portions, and the kind of place that turns into a regular stop before you even realize it. 5 billion stars. If Yelp won't let me give more than five, that's a limitation of the platform, not the restaurant.

This is my third visit and every single time it delivers. This is an Indonesian/Hawaiian restaurant -- and a seriously impressive one. The menu spans both worlds, and no matter which direction you go, you're in for something special. Take out only, no tables, but trust me -- you won't care. The 4 Piece Indonesian Fried Chicken with rice is an absolute must. Some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. The crust is insanely crispy, the seasoning is perfect, and the Indonesian dipping sauce ties it all together in a way that's completely unique. This alone is worth the drive. The Hawaiian plates are equally impressive. The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the beef and chicken were perfectly marinated -- sweet, savory, and deeply flavorful. Everything comes with rice and a creamy mac salad, and the Hawaiian Sun drinks (Mango Orange and Strawberry Lilikoi) are the perfect companion to wash it all down. Plates run between $16-$20 but the portions are generous and the quality is exceptional -- you absolutely get your money's worth. The owner and cook are extraordinarily welcoming, and everything comes out hot and fresh every single time. Top Restaurant is a hidden gem of the highest order. If you're in Pasadena, make the trip.

From the photos and reviews, the place…read morelooked pretty run-down, so I figured it might just be one of those local hidden-gem type spots. Even after arriving, I almost changed my mind about ordering because the plaza itself looked very old and rough. I brought my girlfriend with me, and she was actually the one who said that since we were already there, we might as well try it. The restaurant is basically takeout only, and the inside is very simple and worn down. That said, the person taking our order was extremely friendly, which made the experience much better right away. After checking Yelp, I decided to order the Indonesian fried rice, BBQ chicken, and fried chicken. The fried rice was easily the highlight. I got it spicy, and it had a nice kick that made it feel more special. I'm not sure if this is part of the Indonesian style, but there were little bits of noodles mixed into the fried rice, which made it unique and really tasty. It also had a generous amount of meat inside, and the portion was huge. It was probably one of the best fried rice dishes I've had recently. The BBQ chicken was solid too. It had that tasty Hawaiian-style plate lunch feel, came with mac salad, and was seasoned well. The fried chicken was a little mixed for me. The crispy outside was good, but the chicken itself had a slight off taste, like it didn't feel as fresh as I hoped. Not terrible, but definitely not my favorite item. Overall, Top Restaurant surprised me in a good way. The place itself is very no-frills, but the fried rice alone makes it worth coming back. I'd definitely return for that.

This is a small Market that has a little bit of everything that you're looking for from Southeast Asia. It's like a 7-Eleven, Filipino style. It's fun to look at the various items available here. You will always end up with more than just what you were looking for. I enjoy the cracker nuts, dried mangoes, and specialty dried items. Their selection of items is always changing so I like to look at what's new and on display. I will sometimes ask the front counter what just came in. The Fresh Deli, located up a small incline to the left as you enter the market, is spectacular. The flavor of the food permeates the entrance to the market. They have an incredible selection of fresh made food. It is difficult to make a decision between the different items. I asked for some help from the gentleman behind the counter. I've dealt with Christian, Gabriel and Abraham and all three are knowledgeable and helpful.

I decided on the special marinated Beef Caldereta and the Lechon Kawali. On another trip I decided to try the Pork Tochino and the Barbecue Chicken Skewers. I can't tell you how happy I am with the flavors of the food from the deli. Everything was done to perfection. The Chicken skewers were tender and moist with a great barbecue flavor. The Toccino had a nice marinade flavor and was not too sweet. The Lechon was tender and had enough fat to give it a great flavor and texture. I have to admit the Caldereta was my favorite. Great taste, texture, and just the right spices to give it a little kick. The rice and noodles were a perfect accompaniment. All the sauces I was given added to the flavor of all the dishes. At the cash register at the front counter I paid for my items and asked about other items coming in in the near future. I found out that they are not always sure what's going to become available but always looking for something that will make their customers happy. This is truly a family establishment. I found out that everybody there is related. They definitely give exceptional service and quality merchandise, and delicious food. I look forward to coming back and trying many other items both in their market area as well as the Deli.
