I've always enjoyed their poke bowls but I heard they had a poke burrito and I just had to go try. Employees were super welcoming and helpful and my burrito was so good. Their store is on the smaller side but it's clean, has lots of table, and is lit by natural light. I read an older review saying the burrito wasn't big but just one half of the burrito was enough to make me full for lunch. Probably the best thing I've ever eaten. It was so buss. Definitely recommend you try their poke burrito! For my poke burrito, I got cucumber, crab salad, seaweed, spicy tuna, salmon, chipotle mayo for sauce, and nori for the wrap! 10/10 recommend this when you're craving raw fish or you're just hungry read more

Stumbled upon this place after a Yelp event at Lather, it was around lunch time so was hungry and love me some Poke bowls. Food tasted fresh and portion is generous except the protein scoops were a bit skimpy IMO for a Small bowl. You get 2 protein for a small bowl but portions are not great. Would opt to get Medium size next time. Will come back tho since food was good. I just love the "build your own" style. They had good options for dressings and toppings too. Parking can be a bit challenging, but there are garage and street parking around the area. Had a 3 min walk from where I parked NBD since the day was gorg ! $2 for an hour and half, had more than enough time left from the event. So that worked out. Staff were mediocre. Overall yes I recommend. read more

My rating would be closer to a 3.5/5. Solid yet standard poke place -- generous portions (especially on the proteins) which is always a huge plus and seasoned just right with their sauces. Personally, I did not like their masago ( extra $2 for a small side) or their crabmeat. The masago was fishy and extremely salty which is not like any masago I've had in other stores. The crab was also different from other stores -- texture was closer to cottage cheese and taste was also stronger/fishier. I couldn't take more than a few bites of either item. Price was a bit steep starting at $15.99 for a small (two scoops) but with the amount of fish they give you it is passable. Service was friendly and quick on a Sunday afternoon. There is a good amount of seating with 2 and 4 person tables. read more

Poke Salad Bar - Small bowl (2 scoops) - Poke Near Me - Pasadena, California

Old town location was great but they recently changed their rice :( quality is noticeably lower and sometimes it comes out hard or mushy. It no longer has the texture of sushi rice but moreso dry long grain. South pasadena location has the same rice changes. Disappointed in South Pas DoorDash order fulfillment, they always get my order wrong and give smaller portions. I prefer old town's food quality by a long shot read more

As a poke enthusiast, I was pleased to find yet another great poke spot! Since I was sharing with my mom, I ordered a Medium bowl and it ended up being the perfect portion for the both of us. The staff was also really friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Plus, everything was served super fast, so we got to start eating almost right away :) read more

The portions are so generous here! Located right in the center of old town Pasadena is this locally owned poke shop. This is one of my favorite places to grab a casual lunch or dinner especially after doing some shopping nearby. The sushi quality here is solid, I'd give it a 8/10. The staff here are always so kind and will load up your bowl, so come hungry! Def worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Poke Salad Bar is a locally owned business in the Old Town area of Pasadena. They serve poke bowls, poke burritos, and even some Korean dishes. Their small size is $14.99 (2 scoops of fish), their medium is $16.99 (3 scoops), and their large is $18.99 (4 scoops). We shared the medium with a base of brown rice with quinoa (they ran out of white rice) and one scoop each of salmon, ahi tuna, and spicy tuna. We then got our toppings, sides, and sauces mixed together and put in the bowl. Of the fish my favorite was the spicy tuna. I liked the seaweed salad, crab meat, and seaweed toppings. The portions were pretty good and were filling for the two of us to share. read more

This is a nice little shop. Haven't seen many dedicated poke place around in years. Plenty of seats but you can also grab and go. The staff were nice. Pretty great serving sizes for the proteins. A good amount of selection of toppings. I got the small size and that was plenty. Everything taste great and fresh. I'd like to return again when in the area. read more

Super generous portions, friendly employees, and a tasty, customizable - what's not to like? Stopped by here for a casual early dinner while in Old Town, and there was only one group ahead of ahead so ordering was quick. The medium size here could easily be a large at another place. The fish was fresh and I appreciated avocado being an included topping. There's a good amount of indoor seating. Credit cards accepted. They have other options like Korean dishes if you're not looking for poke. Self-service water. read more

Stopped by here on the way home from our road trip and despite the reviews, the food was disappointing. The rice they had was just regular white rice versus the sushi rice at most poke places. They give you a huge rice portion and not that much protein. The flavors aren't all there and everything tastes bland even with their special house sauce. Friendly service, I just wish the food was better. read more

Great neighborhood spot for refreshing poke. Their signature is their generous portions. Some outside seating, but we mostly do takeout. The bowls are definitely bigger than the burritos, but I usually get the burrito so it's easier to eat. Octopus is good here and if you've ever handled it as an ingredient you know how easy it is to mess up. Sometimes I wonder if they are giving out too much to their detriment, but they've been in business for years so it seems they're good. Located on busy Colorado so hard to street park. read more

Standard good like joint in the middle of old town Pasadena! Parking can feel a little tricky but there's a parking structure right behind the restaurant! The staff were nice and the fish selection was fresh. 2 portions may not seem like a lot but I absolutely could not finish it so it can serve for 2 persons or 2 servings read more

I've been a customer here for more than 10 years. Normally this place would get a six on a scale of five. However, for the entire time, I have been a customer they have had available a discount card that gives you a free serving after 10 orders. This card has been eliminated by the owners during the past month or two, and seems to me to be the worst Customer Service decision imaginable. In addition, even the employees do not understand why this has been eliminated and they report that a many customers are not happy. As a result, my poke consumption will go elsewhere in Pasadena. This also counts for the South Pas location. So sad. read more

I've been living in the area for around 2 years and a half, but it had not occurred to me to visit this place yet. I came on a somewhat busy Saturday afternoon, and despite the stress of the lunch rush, both Mac and Jessa were helpful and took care of us in such a polite, professional, and kind manner. The options are endless, and the large bowl, which is what me and my friend went for, is truly LARGE. It almost feels like two regular bowls at any other poke shop. I also liked that they have spam musubi, and if you check in with the Yelp app, you can get a free small bowl of miso soup, which pairs super well with, and is a great side dish for the poke bowl. All of the ingredients feel extra fresh and nourishing, and it feels like a great meal experience overall. read more

I love poke salad bar. It's my favorite place to get poke and I'm sad that I don't live that close to it anymore. All of the seafood and toppings here are fresh and the prices are really affordable considering how much you get from each bowl! I get the medium bowl always for $16.99 and it comes with 3 choices of protein. The seared albacore is my favorite and you can never go wrong with spicy tuna and shrimp. I like how crab meat is not extra either. I know some places count that as a protein. Toppings are all yummy. They give a lot of everything and don't skimp out on portion! Don't forget, if you check in on Yelp, they'll even throw in a free miso soup. The one thing that I dislike about this place is the location. Parking is hard to find around here, but there is a close by parking structure that charges only $1 for 2 hour parking. Most of the time, there's open spaces, but I would avoid weekends. I always have a good experience every time I come here. Poke salad bar will always have a special place in my heart. Already looking forward to the next time I stop by! read more

It's not just raw seafood!! I'd always been hesitant to try Poke Salad Bar because I thought it was just sushi in salad form. While raw fish is an option, they have plenty of other options too. I like the imitation crab meat and a little squid. Brown rice, salad, sesame seeds, edemame, pineapple... yum. Portions are very generous so come hungry. Fortunately this location is right in a bustling neighborhood so there's lots to walk around and see after filling up on poke bowl. Don't forget to bring your rewards card so you can get a free bowl one day. read more

Great portions, service and quality of the ingredients based on the few times I've been in

Emily was extremely rude to customers läßt time I went in. She and the long haired guy were so unkind I ended up cancelling the whole thing right before paying. I dont know what happened as she was real cool before but oh well. The customer service has taken a nose dive and the owner does not care. I will be exploring other poke salad places so if you have any suggestions hit me up in the message box. read more

The best spot for poke at such a great price in Pasadena! The fish and ingredients were fresh and they provide a lot of options/toppings to choose from. I got the small with a rice base and added a scoop of salmon and a scoop of spicy tuna. Toppings wise, I essentially put everything on it. I thought the portions were pretty generous and stuffed me up very quickly. She was also super sweet to ask if I cared if my bowl was aesthetic or not. I've had poke at a couple other spots in LA/626, but I think this place is most worth it. There's a parking garage nearby! Just be sure to park at the back-end of the garage for a closer walk to the place. The workers are super nice! It's a small shop, so there was only about 3 of them, but they were working hard. It wasn't too busy when I went, but there were people coming in and out. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving some poke! read more

Stopped by for a quick takeout on a Friday night. It's pretty quiet only two other people in line besides me. Poke bowl was good portion I got medium half & half (rice & salad). Came with three scoops of proteins I got salmon, scallop and octopus. Seafood tasted very fresh and I loved variety of proteins and toppings. For dressing I got yuzu shoyu (kind of light) and chipotle mayo (love this one!). I was pretty full and finished most of the food. I didn't eat here but seemed very clean and well kept. Staffs were very friendly as well. Overall great quality, good portion and reasonable price. Would come back again! read more

They have premade sushi roll available that are very reasonably priced! Starts at $6! Perfect for a quick lunch:)

This was still as good as I remembered! It wasn't as popular as it was before, but the quality still serves. They also pack A LOT in there. I ordered a small (2 scoops) of salmon and spicy tuna, and the employee gave me a generous handful, it was pretty nice haha. The ingredients for the most part were pretty fresh, better than my go to which was Ahipoki, I definitely prefer this one more. Although, not the best I had, but still pretty good! It was empty when I visited, so it's definitely not busy at all. Don't forget to check in for a free bowl of miso soup. read more
