This has got to be one of Pasadena's medal winner for being in business, in the same space, for more than 15 years (it may be more, but that how long I've been going there :) Needless to say, if you're looking for a great tea drink: flavorful, natural, fresh, and yummy... come here. And if you're feeling hungry, dive into the poke bar. Personally, I love their rice rolls: salmon, spicy tuna, and more. With excellent friendly service and fantastic food, PokeMix is an A+

Build Your Own Medium Poke Bowl (3 choice protein)

I'm from Hawaii & this place hits the spot when I'm craving poke. Quick, friendly service, & easy to order. My go-to is the small (2-choice protein) build your own bowl. They have a current Happy Hour special on weekdays from 3-6pm where you get a free drink with any bowl :) They also have a nice & clean restroom for customers.

A follow up review to the owner's reply: The portion is definitely not the same size. You skimped out on both, rice and fish. It was 30% less. I've been eating at your restaurant for the last 7 months, regularly. I can tell the difference. The bowl is the same, yes. But the contents of the bowl are way way less this time. A very small portion for $21!! This is medium size. It used to be bigger. Bought it for lunch but definitely need to buy another small meal to hold me up until dinner. Not going back. Also, they forgot wasabi. Two stars for freshness.

Sushi was great quality, average price. The pike was also really good quality, the salmon marinade was the perfect blend of spicy and a kick of sweet. LOTS of sides available. Boba slushee was also really good, not overly sweet The staff was super friendly and looked genuinely happy to be doing this, he's gotta be the owner or something. My only suggestion is some sort of music or background noise. Other than that the inside is cute and minimalist. Very clean

I have been craving poke bowls for the last few weeks. I saw PokeMix on Lake Ave in Pasadena and said BINGO! I was hooked. Staff was super friendly. Atmosphere was nice and comfy. Good space with lots of inside seating. Besides poke bowls, they also sell boba drinks. They have a small water station available for customers. They even sell some trinkets or something of the like. Here is how it works... bowl is one size, but the number of scoops of fishes and seafood come in 3 sizes. Small $12.99 = 2 scoops, Medium $14.99 = 3 scoops, Large $16.99 = 4 scoops. An extra scoop is $2 per scoop. Go for the Large! I did and so glad I did... it was very very tasty and delicious! I got half brown rice and half salad as my base plus Ahi Tuna, Salmon, and Scallop with all the wet and dry toppings mixed with House Poke, Eel, and Spicy Miso sauces. I thought I would take some poke home, but I couldn't stop eating it and before I knew it, it was all gone in my tummy LOL. Please note they have limited selection of fishes and toppings, but still adequate for a great poke bowl. Before I left, I was curious about their tea drinks. I ended up getting a medium Green Milk Tea with mango jelly. It was good, but a tad more bitter than I would have preferred. I asked for no ice, but still got ice. No big deal... I just scooped the ice out. I definitely recommend this place. I know I'll be back for more great tasting poke bowl!

Clean environment, rapid service, and good poke! The happy hour from 3-6pm is a great deal, free drink with bowl.

Tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed it! Minimal options for toppings (which I prefer), and the fish was very fresh. Quick and friendly service. Will be back!

Half of a spam rice ball that carries only the spirit of spam.
Margarita M.

I ordered delivery and was really disappointed, especially with the spam rice ball. I was charged $3.99, but look at what I got... I could barely find any spam--just a few tiny pieces, maybe 3-4 micro-sized bits. Definitely not worth it!

Sushi looked and is fresh! Their service was very nice! I would definitely come here again :)

Build Your Own Small Poke Bowl

Ordered my food ahead for pickup which said 15-25 minute pick up time which isn't bad for mid day in a business area. I placed my order when I was about 15 minutes away walking. I use my lunch break to take a walk outside so picking up the food vs delivery made more sense. My food ended up being ready in 3 minutes which was perfect! My only issue was when I arrived my food was just sitting on the counter instead of in a temperature controlled environment. a little disheartening since the food can spoil rather quickly. Overall the food was great & I would try it again. Next time around I will order in store and hopefully can still avoid any lines.

It's great to have so many fresh elements in one bowl,taste great!

Great food, great service, great vibes! Highly recommend if you're in the area. Absolutely loved this spot! The interior is stylish yet cozy, perfect for both a casual meal or a special night out. The food is packed with flavor -- especially the [insert dish name] . Service was warm and thoughtful, which made the whole experience even better. Will for sure be back again soon!

Nice place for poke and boba tea drinks. Large menu and they deals for after 3pm poke bowls.

2 proteins!

Awesome customer service, clean space. Parking is street parking. Indoor space no outdoor. I added house poke, spicy mayo, and spicy chili. And taste delicious!

The popcorn chicken, fried tofu, and orange green tea are what I usually order. They make those very consistently so you know what to expect. It gets busy here when school kids are hanging out but if you are outside of those windows, it doesn't take too long. Service ranges from friendly to standard, so no complaints there. The one issue I have with them is they show a loyalty program in terms of entering your phone number -- if you order online as well as the register. But I've never gotten any points. I once asked the owner about it and he claimed that they do in fact give out items, and said he would check on it that night when I told him the situation. But he never actually asked my name and info, and I've still never received any points since, despite having ordered here about twice a week for the past several weeks. It's not a deal breaker but it's strange.

It's fresh watermelon blended with ice & water and a healthier alternative to a smoothie.

Most of the decor here seems lost in translation from this import from Taiwan; however, they are a drink spot that specializes in boba milk teas and fruit smoothies. I got a strawberry smoothie with jellies and a salt cream foam. My wife got the same, but mango. Both of the drinks were upwards of $8. Though expensive, flavor was good and, if you like jellies, they load them up here. If I had a choice, I prefer the offerings at 3CAT in Arcadia for mango drinks; however, I think this is a great spot on a hot day in Pasadena.

I noticed on one of the signs that they offer a 10% discount if you use an official sold MACU reusable cup and a 2% discount if you use any other reusable cup, or MACU's plastic cup from a previous visit. All of the workers were busy making drinks, so I ordered on the one kiosk they had. The shop is small and it didn't take long for them to make my drinks. My favorite drink was the Chi-Chi Mango Smoothie. It was sweet, smooth, and had mango chunks and green tea jelly. Their #1 drink - King of Mango Smoothie had grapefruit pulp, which was bitter. All of their drinks were pretty sweet. The Chi-Chi Jasmine Green Tea had a cheese foam top and tasted the least sweet of the three drinks I ordered to share.

It's located in the same plaza as an ice cream parlor, which makes this a perfect little stop after lunch or dinner. The staff were incredibly friendly, quick, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. I ended up enjoying my drink so much that I'll definitely be taking their suggestions again next time. The matcha was a standout for me. It wasn't overly sweet or overly thick, and the matcha flavor actually came through without being drowned out by sugar. It had a really nice balance and was easy to drink without feeling too heavy. The interior is also super cute and has a cozy atmosphere that would be perfect for a casual date, catching up with friends, or taking some photos. And if you're a Pokémon GO player like me, there's even a gym here--which is always a fun bonus! There's plenty of seating inside, plus additional outdoor seating connected to the neighboring ice cream parlor. Between the drinks, atmosphere, friendly staff, and convenient location, this feels like one of those spots that deserves way more attention. Definitely a place I'd come back to after dinner when I'm craving something sweet!

Unfortunately, the experience was a huge letdown, from the overall atmosphere to the drink itself. The ambiance wasn't particularly appealing or inviting, which made the overall experience feel underwhelming. I was hoping for a place with a welcoming atmosphere where I could enjoy a good drink and spend some time with a friend, but it didn't quite meet those expectations. I ordered the Fresh Avocado Bliss, which cost over $8, and honestly, it was one of the worst drinks I've ever had. It took a while to prepare, so I expected the wait to be worthwhile. Unfortunately, the avocado didn't taste fresh or even real, and there was barely any mango flavor. The overall taste was unpleasant, and I could hardly enjoy it. I don't mind paying more for a drink when the quality justifies the price, but this was absolutely not worth over $8 or the wait. Between the disappointing drink and the lackluster ambiance, the experience fell short of what I had hoped for. Sadly, my first visit will likely be my last. I was excited to try this place, but I left disappointed. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend the Fresh Avocado Bliss, and I personally wouldn't return.
